Landscape design
Plan beds and usable lawn around tree cover and daily routes.

Green gardens, welcoming paths and room to unwind. Based in Hanson, Contrast Landscape plans outdoor spaces around the way your household lives.

Hanson includes inland woodland and freshwater environments, including freshwater conservation land shared with Halifax. That is a different starting point from an exposed oceanfront yard: look at tree cover, damp areas and the transition between open lawn and the wooded edge.
Begin with the conditions you can observe. Where does water remain after rain? Which areas get afternoon sun? Where do leaves collect, and which paths do you use every day? Those answers help shape planting beds, usable lawn and a patio location without assuming every Hanson lot has the same soil or drainage.

A front walk should connect the driveway to the entrance naturally; a backyard patio should leave comfortable access for mowing and garden care. In a partly shaded yard, forcing lawn into every corner may create unnecessary upkeep. Discuss a mix of planting, open space and hardscape that suits the maintenance you want to take on.
Bring photos of the yard after rainfall and describe the spaces you want to keep green. Identify nearby ponds or wetlands early so any relevant review can be discussed before work is scheduled.
