Residential landscaping here is new or redone beds, foundation shrubs, perennials and small trees, planned for salt air, wind and cold winters near the bay. Spring and early fall are the planting windows. The crew walks the yard, sketches the plan and puts plants, materials and price in writing.

Most yards don't need a redesign. They need the tired foundation shrubs replaced, a real bed edge and plants that can take the wind off the water.
Salt spray and wind are hard on beds close to the water in Bristol, Barrington and Newport. Pick tough, salt-tolerant shrubs for exposed spots, and keep road salt in mind along walks and drives. If water bans come, as the Bristol County Water Authority's did in 2019, new plantings need hand watering.
