Set on a 2.39-acre property in North Salem, NY, this project transforms a conventional lawn landscape into a dynamic, ecologically driven garden that supports wildlife and seasonal experience. The design replaces large areas of turf with a native meadow threaded with informal mown paths, inviting exploration while fostering pollinators, birds, and beneficial insects. Strategic tree removals introduce sunlight to revive the vegetable garden and support meadow establishment, while native shrubs and perennials reinforce the woodland edge and protect regulated wetlands. Installed in phases, the planting strategy allows the landscape to evolve over time—enhancing biodiversity, reducing maintenance and chemical inputs, and creating a sensory-rich environment that connects the homeowners with nature throughout the seasons.
