Serving Bradford Woods
Landscaping and hardscaping in Bradford Woods
Bradford Woods is small and, as the name suggests, heavily wooded. The canopy is the dominant fact about working on any property here.
Deep shade means a good deal of these properties will not carry a lawn at all, and the honest answer is often bed, mulch or woodland planting rather than another attempt at grass.
Leaf load each autumn is heavy enough that clearance is part of keeping a lawn rather than an optional tidy-up — left through winter it will kill what is underneath.
Deer pressure is strong, which narrows the planting list further and makes deliberate specification the difference between a bed that establishes and one that gets eaten.

What our Bradford Woods clients say
Good to know
Questions we get from Bradford Woods
Can I have a lawn here at all?
In parts. In deep shade the honest answer is usually no, and we will say so.
Is leaf clearance really necessary?
On a lawn, yes. Leaves left over winter kill the turf under them.
What survives the deer?
A narrower range than most places, but a real one.
Can you build near my trees?
Usually, with root zones respected from the design stage.
