Older landscapes require special care.

Ulster County's long history results in our area having a wide variety of aging landscapes. From the wonderful antique stone houses, the stately Victorians, and the Pre-war bungalows, to the older planned neighborhoods, there are many landscapes that were once the pride of the community but have now fallen into disrepair and decay. These relics of earlier times can be restored to their former beauty and once again act as the perfect complement to the buildings they hold.

The approach that the Masseo Landscape design team takes to all their projects is perfectly suited to the restoration and preservation of older landscapes. The careful site assessment that is the basis of all their work can uncover hidden elements that may be important to the historic character of a property or reveal the logic behind an apparent tangle of overgrown shrubbery. The information gleaned through the site assessment is used to develop a plan to restore and preserve as much of the older landscape as is desired. Plantings can be pruned or replaced, walls repaired and rebuilt, walkways rejuvenated. Important trees can be cleaned-up and secured.

Restoring and preserving your older landscape is not the impossible task that it might appear at the outset. Proper assessment, planning and execution can make reclaiming your lost treasure a manageable process. Masseo Landscape can help you bring your older or historic landscape up-to-date and ensure that it retains its best qualities far into the future.
