Creating an “Ocean Meadow” of native grasses responded to the clients’ goal of a sustainable landscape in harmony with the surrounding protected lands. Drought resistant plants were crucial given the windy site’s sandy soil and southern exposure. The woodland borders were edited to reveal a wealth of mature trees which were supplemented with native shrubs. Perennials surround the house in undulating beds of beach stones, punctuated by massive boulders. A terrace of jumbo bluestone pavers provides a vantage point to enjoy the rustic landscape and an outdoor shower features ocean views.
