The Lazy Gardener

“Catherine, it is a pleasure working with you, your ideas for gardening are so integrated and holistic, everything works together.”

Rosemary, Bedford NY

We design high-style, low maintenance gardens, so you can spend more time enjoying your property.

Our garden designs grow through talking to each client, finding out what you have in your imagination, and how your property is used. When designing landscapes, we take into account the style and time period of the building and the neighborhood. We use predominantly native plants that don't need a lot of water, fertilizer or fussing. We don't use chemicals either. Mother Nature does the hard stuff, like building up the good bug population and mulching with fallen leaves.

Please visit our gallery to see past projects. Or read our lazy advice column.

While we offer planting, carpentry and masonry for landscape designs, we're also available solely for consultation and garden plans, if you prefer to do the work on your own.
