 Landscape architect Michelle Crowley’s clients wanted to welcome the wilderness in. The landscape team used a variety of methods to grow and enlarge the meadow landscape.The overall effect is pleasingly low-lawn, low-maintenance, and anti-suburban.

The parking court and front porch are flanked by a variety of meadow plants.

The front porch is made of Granite and natural cleft bluestone.

The porch overlooks seeded meadow grasses and wildflowers.

The outdoor dining terrace.

A bluestone path winds through the planted courtyard garden.

A reclaimed trough was repurposed as a water fountain.

Seeded meadow now grows on both sides of the historic stone wall.

Mown paths encourage exploring.

The meadow encourages active wildlife within the property.
