Washington Depot

Native plants and local materials for a Connecticut family retreat.

ALA developed the site plan and has worked closely with the contractor and client to realize the planned landscape for this wooded lot in Washington Depot, Connecticut. Low-voltage site lighting, more than 5,000 native plants, nearly a half-acre of no-mow eco lawn grass, are in the process of being installed in this site, slated for completion in fall of 2024. Ornamental plantings relying on swaying grasses, gray birch, redbud, and redosier dogwood welcome guests to the site while providing year-round planting interest.
