Then, we eliminated the uncomfortable slopes and tiered the yard into three levels - pool at the lower level - transitional lawn and gardens in the middle - and a patio with a gas fire table at the house level.  #### Garden Explosion As an avid gardener, our client wanted a diverse composition of foliage, flowers, berries and bark textures to color the landscape in every season. We incorporated existing plants transplanted to new locations along with many new perennials and groundcovers throughout the landscape. Then planted an evergreen screen along the property line fence and filled in with native and native-adventshrubs to support the pollinators and songbirds.  #### Cool Enclosure To meet code requirements we needed to add fencing and chose a simple post and rail fence with wire mesh between the rails positioned on the sides of the house and extending to the existing property line fences. This basic, no-frills choice allows the fencing to stay in the background while the gardens and stone work shine.  #### Long Term Care The beauty of this project is not its size, but rather the clients’ dedication to ecological practices, devotion to family and living in harmony with nature, and commitment to long term stewardship of the environment through their own work efforts and partnership with landscape professionals.  ![leaf.jpg](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/13583/hubfs/Jan_2016_Site/leaf.jpg?width=201&name=leaf.jpg "leaf.jpg") “Reintroducing layers to residential landscape is the best strategy for restoring biological function on a vast scale, contributing to habitat and to a wide range of ecosystem services that are broadly beneficial, including replenishment of atmospheric oxygen, carbon sequestration, groundwater recharge and filtration, soil conservation, and moderation of weather extremes.”   “The Living Landscape” by Rick Darke & Doug Tallamy [![New call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/22032217/2494a49f-e84a-46b2-a80c-eaad611ee81f.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/22032217/2494a49f-e84a-46b2-a80c-eaad611ee81f) #444 Some additional information in one line Complimentary Landscape Discovery Session [![Get Started >](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/22032217/215b4622-4968-446f-9f9e-25914f9b22f9.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/22032217/215b4622-4968-446f-9f9e-25914f9b22f9)   ### Contact The Garden Continuum® 67 West Street, Suite 101 Medfield, MA 02052 Call us: [+1 (508) 359-8200](tel:+1-508-359-8200) [Privacy Policy](https://22032217.hs-sites.com/privacy-policy) [Terms of Use](https://22032217.hs-sites.com/terms-of-use) [Returns & Refund Policy](https://22032217.hs-sites.com/return-and-refund-policy) [Service Area](https://22032217.hs-sites.com/service-area) ### From Our Blog ### Subscribe to Blog ### CONNECT WITH US [**](https://www.linkedin.com/company/1648543) [**](https://www.facebook.com/pages/The+Garden+Continuum,+Inc/108768312491193) [**](https://twitter.com/GardenContinuum) [**](https://www.youtube.com/user/gardencontinuuminc) [**](https://www.pinterest.com/gardencontinuum/) [**](https://plus.google.com/+GardenContinuumINC) [**](https://www.thegardencontinuum.com/blog/rss.xml) [**](https://www.instagram.com/thegardencontinuum/) ### Connect With Us ![](https://www.facebook.com/tr?id=130157905576293&ev=PageView&noscript=1) ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "WebSite", "potentialAction" : { "@type" : "SearchAction", "query-input" : "required name=search_term_string", "target" : { "@type" : "EntryPoint", "urlTemplate" : "https://www.thegardencontinuum.com/search-results?term={search_term_string}" } }, "url" : "https://www.thegardencontinuum.com/" } ```
