Housefront Landscape Transformation & Lawn Renovation – Shelton, CT (2023-2024)

Lawn Renovation & Overseeding

In 2023, we performed a full lawn renovation, addressing soil health and turf density for a lush, green lawn. To further enhance the lawn's resilience, we completed spot topdressing and overseeding in 2024, ensuring uniform growth and long-term success.

Housefront & Side Yard Landscape Installation

Our custom landscape design focused on both the housefront and the left side of the property, incorporating a mix of evergreens, flowering shrubs, and ornamental grasses for year-round beauty.

Project Scope:

✔ Removal & Disposal – Cleared old mulch and soil for a fresh foundation.

✔ Soil Enrichment – Installed 3 yards of compost and planting mix to enhance soil structure and plant vitality.

✔ Professional Plant Installation – Planted a diverse selection of low-maintenance, visually striking species, including the plants listed below.

✔ Fertilization & Mulching – Applied plant fertilizer for strong establishment and topped beds with pine mulch for moisture retention and weed control.

Plants Within The Design:

Boxwood (Buxus spp.) – Classic evergreen structure

Hydrangea (Hydrangea spp.) – Vibrant seasonal blooms

‘Sky Pencil’ Holly (Ilex crenata ‘Sky Pencil’) – Narrow, upright form for architectural interest

Weeping Norway Spruce (Picea abies ‘Pendula’) – Elegant cascading evergreen

Eastern Redbud (Cercis canadensis) – Stunning spring blooms

‘Gold Mop’ Cypress (Chamaecyparis pisifera ‘Gold Mop’) – Bright golden foliage
