Landscape Architecture

At Timothy Lee Landscape Design, we believe that the best landscape designs are those that seamlessly integrate the built environment with the natural surroundings. We specialize in creating unique and functional outdoor spaces that reflect the distinct character of each property and its owners. Our landscape architecture services include site analysis, conceptual design, construction documentation, and construction administration. Through a collaborative and iterative process, we create functional, aesthetically pleasing, and sustainable landscapes that enhance the overall value of your property.

Garden Design

The garden is the heart of any residential landscape, providing a peaceful retreat, a space for entertaining, and a connection to nature. At Timothy Lee Landscape Design, we specialize in designing custom gardens that are tailored to your unique needs and vision. Whether you prefer a formal, symmetrical layout, a meandering, naturalistic path, or a modern, minimalist design, our team will work with you to create a one-of-a-kind garden that reflects your personal style and enhances your home's curb appeal.

Planting Design

The right planting design can provide year-round interest, color, and texture, while also providing privacy, screening, and shade. At Timothy Lee Landscape Design, we have extensive knowledge of the best plants for the New England climate and can create a customized planting plan that suits your preferences, lifestyle, and budget. We consider factors such as soil conditions, sunlight exposure, and your desired level of maintenance to ensure a beautiful and thriving landscape.

Construction Administration

Navigating the construction process can be complex and overwhelming. That's why we offer construction administration services to help guide our clients through the permit process, contractor selection, and construction oversight. We work closely with contractors and artisans to ensure that the final product aligns with the design intent and meets the highest standards of quality. Our construction administration services include site visits, progress reports, and construction observation.

Selkirk Ledge

For this seaside home, featured in Architectural Digest, we focused on the planting design and plant selections for the front arrival garden. Our goal was to create an inviting garden space that could withstand the harshest of coastal conditions, provide interest throughout the year, and complement the unique architecture. The result is a welcoming garden space that is in harmony with the house and the surrounding landscape.

Rockholm Road

This oceanside summer cottage is perched atop a windswept rocky coast with commanding views. Site-inspired rustic stone and a summer palette of seaside plants were used to complement the existing landscape. The entry "cottage style" garden was designed to blend with the existing ledge and architecture, creating an inviting, charming arrival. A winding path for universal access makes its way from the rear terrace along the seawall down to the rocky shore.

Slocum Road

The goal for this residential project was to design an intimate, relaxed space for family gatherings and entertaining. The resulting landscape is a series of spaces that celebrate the beauty of the natural surroundings while providing practical and comfortable areas for family and friends to gather.

River House and Peregrine Road

These two projects showcase our ability to create unique and functional outdoor spaces that reflect the distinct character of each property and its owners. The River House garden features a series of intimate spaces that invite exploration and discovery, while the Peregrine Road landscape is a modern retreat that emphasizes clean lines, simple geometry, and a restrained color palette.
