Landscape Project Portfolio

"Alan was extremely thorough, responsive and engaged in the design and implementation of our project. I appreciated that I could always address work or changes with him without any difficulty. Classic Nursery is a seasonal nursery and company that can tackle anything. Don is a fabulous resource and he knows his stuff and can easily teach/convey the info to me. Pauline is helpful and friendly. We appreciated the hard work of the crew, even when I asked them to move a plant! Thank you!"

Garden pots

When we do pot arrangements, we can either specifically describe the pots to be installed or we will give you an installation allowance and a big list of pots to choose from. You can go and visit with your pots with a purchase allowance in hand and- if the selection fits the space, we will install it soon thereafter. Most quotes are turnkey and include procurement, delivery and full installation with a variety of hardy recurring color plant materials. Here's a tip: Bigger is almost always better.

Services Provided:

Planting Beds
Planting is what you think of when you think of landscaping, and nobody does it better than we do. We bring perennials that recur every year, beefy, robust evergreen plants that last all year, and fabulously colorful deciduous shrubs and trees as accents. We have acres of plants to choose from and a uniquely flexible way of working that allows you to "see the plants before you start."

As one of the largest purveyors of Cedar Grove compost in the county, we also rototill or hand-turn your bedsand fertilize all of your new plantings. Best of all, we guarantee it all for one year and offer you a discount card when the dust has settled to shop at the Nursery.
Miscellaneous
We can also coordinate the construction of all types of outdoor amenities, from pools to sport courts and spas.

Working with us to design this type of construction offers some distinct advantages for you as a client. We design the feature to fit within a budget framework and solicit competitive bids on your behalf as part of your landscape architectural design package.

Most importantly, these features fit within the overall site design, integrating with planting and other construction. We show you how to stage this effort to minimize site damage and perform the construction efficiently.
