Project highlights: On the banks of the Magothy River, this hillside cottage needed a transformation to ground the house into a natural setting appropriate for the steep waterfront site. The client wished to implement a native garden that would resolve erosion issues and attract pollinators to this sloped site of the Critical Area on the shoreline of the Chesapeake Bay. A native seed mix was applied to the slope with larger specimens of perennials and ornamental grasses interplanted in clusters on the hillside. Every season provides a new visual show, as the seeds from the seed mix germinate. As the hillside directly drains into the river, best practices were used both during construction and into the maintenance period. Near the cottage house and on the edges of the property, native trees, shrubs and perennial gardens were implemented.
