"Our property is almost 1 acre in size with a large front yard and a good size back yard with a pool. Except for a few trees and shrubs that we planted, the property was pretty much as planted when the house was built 50 years ago. Carolle started with with our agreement that we had no "sacred cows" and she could start with a bare plot plan unless she felt that something was already correct. The only thing that we stipulated was that the new plan should be consistent with the character of the house, a large colonial type custom Cape Cod. The project included all new dry laid walls, resurfacing and enlargement of all walks and patios, and a custom designed pergola. This in addition to hundreds of new perennials , trees, and grasses. The design and execution by the masons and landscapers she recommend was perfect in every way, we are totally satisfied."
