Back Country Sanctuary

Surrounded by a nature preserve and an old abandoned apple orchard, relaxed simplicity was the motto on this 4+ acre setting. The focus was on restoring the natural systems and provide a visual extension with the adjoining conservation area and riding trails. The perimeter of the property was allowed to revert back to its original woodland state, supplemented with native understory plantings. Manicured lawns were replaced with wildflower meadows. Two rain gardens, sited within the wildflower meadows, function as storm water management. Louis Fusco Landscape Architect has been fortunate to have the opportunity to return to the property for seasonal review and assessment to ensure minimal maintenance, meadow health/diversity, and bio retention/rain garden success.
