Garden Landscaping & Plantwork
Get Grounded
People come to a firm like Oldetowne Landscape Architects with all kinds of ideas for their outdoor space.
Maybe it’s a structure, like a pergola. Maybe it’s a certain type of paver. But it’s unlikely any client would sit down across the table from Oldetowne founder and president Jared Herman without some strong notion of plantwork near top of mind.
Known more colloquially as garden landscaping, plantwork sets the stage for just about everything else in an outdoor space, quite literally grounding the other elements of the design—be it a structure or hardscape material—into the landscape. Jared: “Even if a client starts things off by telling me about a certain style of swimming pool they have in mind, or a particular kind of fountain they envision, it won’t be long before they offer up some ideas on their favorite plants: what they like or don’t like when it comes to the wide world of flora. This makes sense. We are talking about outside spaces, after all.”
Garden Designs
And a landscape gardening services firm like Oldetowne will never lack for direction for any garden landscaping project you dream up.
The Oldetowne Landscape Architects team has been creating high-end landscape architecture for 20 years. Whatever ideas you bring for garden landscaping—your garden designs, your ideas for plantwork, maybe an existing form on the property you’d like to design around—the team can pivot off of.
Jared: “I actually like to work without a clean slate. If you have something, say an older structure or something you’re renovating into something, it can be an exciting starting point for our design team. It can make a job more interesting, really, for any landscape gardening services firm. Of course, we’re always also completely content starting from scratch, taking nothing and turning it into something. Bring us what you have.”
