…sometimes you have to think about the bigger picture. In this case a client approached us with an idea: She wanted an apron on the end of her driveway and liked the look of Belgian Blocks that her neighbor had. We discussed at length the different factors: Labor, material cost, and maintenance (especially plowing). In the end we chose a pre-cast concrete product that offered ease of installation, cost-effectiveness, terrific strength and consistency without sacrificing that country estate look!
The client loves it, the job went quickly, and somewhere…a wall of granite remains intact.

Landscape ConstructionPlant it right… Here W-I Crew Leader Pete Vallone demonstrates the adjustment we have had to make to the root ball during planting. Due to tillage, mulching, and re-packaging, nursery stock often comes with too much soil over the trunk flare (where the base of the stem widens above the root system). On this Red Oak, we had to peel off about 8" of extra material to allow the roots to breath. This tree will have a nice head start in its new home, and not have to gasp for air and strain for water under a heavy layer of clay!
Instant Gratification Our crews can accomplish a lot in a short time. With the right skills, equipment, and materials, your place can undergo a transformation in a few hours or a few days. While we love small projects, we are ready to help when you need it done quick. For example, what do you do when that huge heirloom tree or shrub is in the way of the new garage? Call Webster Ingersoll. Here our crew have gently prepared a massive Hydrangea for a short move on site. Only small roots were cut and the plants will be ready to go back in when construction is complete!
Webster Ingersoll's Landscape Construction team has the ability to accomplish a wide range of projects: from intimate to expansive, from residential to large scale commercial and institutional. Drainage, irrigation, lawn installation, planting bed preparation, fencing, stonework, boulder work and planting of large trees and shrubs are among our specialties.
On this Sheffield site we have implemented a plan from Walter Cudnohufsky and Associates, incorporating native fieldstone walls, Ashfield paving, crabapples and ornamental grasses surrounded by low-maintenance sheep's fescue. |
