PREPARING FOR A LANDSCAPE PRESENTATION
WELCOME TO OUR WEBSITE
Peter Atkins and Associates is a full-service landscape contractor. We specialize in landscapes that are eco-friendly, original and sophisticated.
Helping our clients to turn their dream garden into reality is our passion. We constantly strive to give our clients the best possible experience and to make the complete process special. That is why we have trained a dedicated horticultural staff that has been a successful team for over twenty five years.
Following your initial inquiry, we will visit you in your garden to discuss your ideas and to offer suggestions and advice where needed. The initial meeting is our compliments and usually is a 45 minute get together.
We will promptly follow this with a comprehensive quote, and we are on hand afterwards to discuss any queries you may have. We know that our clients like to speak to us during the day, so our office is open from 8am until 8pm, Monday to Friday. Saturday and Sunday by appointment.
When you are ready to proceed you will be given a written contract that details dates, costs and payment schedule – no surprises, everything is put down in writing.
When work begins, you will meet your resolute team of professional landscapers who will remain on your project throughout. Your Project Manager will visit you daily when we are at the house and/or on a regular basis to make sure you are 100% happy with the work in progress. If you want to change something, we are flexible – after all, it is your dream garden that is being created and not ours. You will be kept fully informed by phone calls, texts and email updates and your site will be left clean and tidy each night.
We will contact you at the end of your project to ensure you are completely satisfied. Our work is then guaranteed for a period of 2 years provided you become an ongoing fine garden maintenance customer.
We are immensely proud of the feedback we get from our clients who continually praise both the landscaping and office teams for giving them a broad experience all round. You will see clients’ comments throughout the site and on our Testimonials page.
We are delighted to have received, for years the Best of Houzz Customer Service award for the highest level of client satisfaction, based on reviews from our clients. You can view all our reviews on Houzz on our Houzz page and this website.

We have known Peter for a couple of years as we live in the same small quiet town. I had no idea he was involved in grounds maintenance. My only complaint was not calling on him sooner. He and his crew did an amazing job cleaning up our 1.5 acre yard and the cost effectiveness was well worth it. Much appreciated.Read More

Peter Atkins is a rare treasure. He came into our lives this past summer and transformed our property. We have been struggling with plantings for 28 years. This man is so talented, creative and knowledgeable! His crew is very competent and well supervised by Peter himself. Not only does this firm do installation but ongoing maintenance as well. Peter is very generous in pointing out issues on the grounds that don't necessarily fall under his purview e.g. infestation in the Hemlocks, leaves falling from the specimen trees mid- summer. We have found Peter extremely responsive to calls, emails.Read More

After trying multiple landscapers in the area, we finally found Peter Atkins four years ago and we have been happy ever since. Peter understands our sensibility and our desire to have a natural garden in a woodland landscape. Everything he has planted is organic and native to the area. His design is directed by his artistic instincts and the land itself. He respects and has a natural affinity for the property. He designed, planted and diligently maintains our fern, vegetable and herb gardens. Additionally he has designed, planted and maintained a variety of flower gardens and walking paths, completely transforming the way we appreciate our property during every season. We highly recommend Peter and his team.Read More

"The best part of working with Peter Atkins and Associates Garden Design was the communication, we always knew what was happening and what was going to happen. They did amazing work and an exquisite design, and the
lighting is incredible. Everything flows in such a balanced way. The plant selection is awesome. They chose plants that work well in our backyard environment and the design provides flowers and colorful drama all year long.
Our contractors were top notch, never invasive, and always patient with our questions. Peter Atkins, the owner was always on the property and Peter monitored all the work. When we had a question about what was happening, we were also informed of the how and why promptly. We chose Peter Atkins and Associates because we really liked your approach to project management, it was comforting to know that you had not only the design expertise but also the schedule, budget, and contractor management taken care of. The best part of the experience of working with you was not having to worry about anything!"

UNDERSTANDING WHY ORGANIC IS NECESSARY
WHY WORKING WITH AN ORGANIC LAND CARE ON YOUR PROPERTY IS A SMART DECISION.
When organics products and services are consistently used on your lawns and landscape, we promise to protect your family, pets, soil and water from chemical imputes and synthetic fertilizers.
We have developed and practiced a proven organic land care for your property. Your family will reap immediate rewards from the reduction of exposure to harmful chemical applications that many landscape companies use.
For many homeowners, organic lawn care is an attractive option and a growing trend. Many in our community are working hard to be more environmentally conscious, and lawn care is a big part of that. However, moving from a chemical to an organic lawn care regiment will take time and require an adjustment in immediate expectations.
To make an educated, informed decision about what will work best for you, your family, and your lawn, it’s important to understand the pros and cons of each approach.
Pros of Organic Lawn Care
1. Chemical exposure is reduced. While most lawn care chemicals have been proven safe, there is peace of mind in knowing that you have reduced exposure for yourself, your family, and your pets. Also, when you use organic lawn treatments there will not be days that you have to avoid your lawn after treatment.
2. It is difficult to over-apply. Organic fertilizers slowly break down over time to nourish your soil, whereas with chemical treatments the plants absorb the fertilizer quickly. Use too high of a concentrate of chemical fertilizers and they can easily burn your lawn. Organic fertilizers release slowly based on the needs of your soil and turf, so that over time soil quality will improve.
3. Organic lawn treatments revitalize the ecosystem of your lawn. Chemical fertilizers inherently strip your soil of the nutrients your lawn needs, this includes microbes and earthworms. Your grass may look healthy after a chemical fertilizer, but chances are, that’s only skin deep, as it is easily susceptible to pests or disease. Organic treatments enhance your soil and enable it to keep its own natural nutrients.

"We had an old-fashioned garden, which we loved, but had become quite overgrown and not very easy to “live” in or maintain. We wanted a garden designer with knowledge, imagination and vision, to retain some of the original beauty of the old garden but make it a more usable space with more ease of maintenance.
"Some friends had had their garden “redesigned” but we found it to be very contrived; we were concerned about whether our own ideas would be taken into account and followed through to the end design; we were also concerned that the garden service might be very expensive.
We were delighted from the very first meeting – Peter Atkins put us at ease and was interested in getting to know us as people before we ever talked about plants. He listened well, as much of what we told him in this first meeting he managed to incorporate into the final design. Waiting for the plans was very exciting and the large color plans were very helpful in getting us to visualize the finished garden.
Peter didn’t just design our garden – He designed our garden for us, taking into account our ideas but also using his imagination and experience to transform it into a beautiful space". The gardens are now planted....I can not wait to invite our family and we are looking forward to use our vegetable garden in all our dishes. The peony garden and the roses have won my heart...finally a childhood memory has arrived in my own garden."

WHY DESIGNS ARE IMPORTANT
You may not have a large outdoor space but that does not mean that it lacks potential. With visionary design and the expert use of structure, color, and light, even the smallest lawn, the tiniest patio, the narrowest backyard, or the plainest roof can be transformed into a stunning outdoor space.
Larger gardens allow the harmonious balancing of architectural structures with widespread planting. Our team is expert at striking that balance, fusing plants, shrubs, perennials and trees with outdoor rooms, organic lawns, water features and sculptures to create total synergy.
Through our designs, we aim to increase the sustainability, biodiversity and beauty of each and every property. We use only the highest quality plants sourced from local nurseries as well as indigenous, organic landscape materials.
We have a particular interest in utilizing and conserving native plant communities of New England but we appreciate the diversity, functions, and visual interest that non-native species can provide where appropriate. We are very careful to incorporate only those plants that have proven to be non-invasive in this region. We use natural stones in our hardscape designs.

THE LANDSCAPE PROCESS
The design process begins with a face-to-face meeting in your home where we explore your “dream” landscape. Our mission is to help determine what you would like to see and how you want to use your garden.
Meeting in the home when possible allows us to see what you see—from the windows in the living room, dining room, kitchen, and other spaces. After all, gardens are meant to be enjoyed from indoors as well as outside, and during all seasons, especially during winter when outdoor lighting is a key feature.
Seeing the views allows us to design meaningful “sight” lines into outdoor spaces and perhaps to include focal points—a flowering tree, a fountain, or a special seating area, for example. Determining sight lines is an important, but often overlooked part of the design process.
Every landscape varies in scale and complexity. Once all the individual garden plants are completed can the job be estimated for installation. We will break this down into categories giving written cost for the job.
We want to ensure the installation of your landscape is professionally carried out. Therefore, we prefer to manage the development process. Because we created the designs, we know the details best and can easily answer any questions and keep the job moving in the correct direction. Our clients appreciate how passionate we are about the result.

Pound Ridge Slope Project 2018-2021
This project below started when I was referred to a clients home to do some hydro seeding on a slope that was always difficult. After showing our portfolio and spending numerous months on Saturday morning with the client, Peter Atkins and our client decided to transform the slope into a perennial garden. It would have a retaining wall that is 65 feet wall and a large perennial garden would be placed within its wall. On top of the wall is a large border of Hydrangeas, carpet roses, edible berry and other shrubs. Within the garden would be a fountain for song birds and a patio below the garden with a portable fire pit for evening star gazing. The vegetable garden was created that is 40x30 and hold many raised beds. This was a two year process. It was completed in the pandemic COVID year of 2020.
