This Amherst project started with a familiar problem—a dry, tired garden where nothing seemed to grow. The homeowner was ready for a change.
After taking a look, the solution was simple but powerful: start fresh from the ground up. We removed the old, depleted soil—going down about 8 inches—and hauled 8 yards of it back into the woods.
In its place, we installed 8 yards of rich, beautiful garden soil, creating the perfect foundation for something new.
I told her, “Keep it watered for a couple of weeks, and you’ll have yourself a wildflower garden.” She smiled and said, “That sounds fantastic.”
And that’s exactly what this space is becoming—a once lifeless area, now transformed into a thriving wildflower garden full of color, life, and possibility.
