Modern Barn

Litchfield County, CT

We were able to appreciate the story of the land. The client requested a rural, yet elegant and finely detailed, landscape. An old pond at the low point of the land— between the fields and the woodland—was dredged and replanted. Privacy plantings were added along the road and wrapped around to the front of the old house. This road is a historic travel route, lined with old and declining sugar maples. We planted new rows of sugar maples, placed the traditional existing 35 feet apart, with the addition of two old Malus sargentii—Sargent crabapples.
