For more than 50 years The MacDowell Company has been designing and constructing major landscape projects in the New England area. Our attention to site design and architectural detail enables us to fulfill the most specific and diverse needs of our clients. Our highly skilled staff of masonry and landscape artisans ensures the long term quality of each specific project. As testament to our high standard of work, we are honored to be the recipient of both Boston Home magazine's Best of Boston award for Best Hardscape & Installation 2012 and Boston magazine's Best of Boston award for Best Landscaping 2015.
CAD software and state of the art printers makes the creation and duplication of construction documents quicker and simpler. But until about 25 years ago, we didn't have this luxury.
Here’s an example of how small, but thoughtfully designed plant beds can complement masonry.
What does your landscape look like in the winter when deciduous trees lose their leaves and perennials die back for the season? Key design elements like hardscape, lighting, and certain plants with winter interest are the staple features that bring gardens to life during cold, snowy months.
Fire pits and fireplaces have been a popular feature in recent years, they are a great way to enjoy the outdoors well into the colder months.
If this isn't Mother Nature's way of telling us that we're in for a cold winter, I don't know what is.
