We designed this Milford, CT shoreline garden to reflect the calm, flowing movement of water — blending artistic vision with natural beauty. New bed lines were carved into the landscape and planted directly into river rock to evoke a clean, beach-style aesthetic. A bench was placed as a quiet focal point, and professional edging and soil enrichment gave this peaceful landscape both structure and vitality. Let the professionals at Shannon Lawn and Landscaping bring a custom coastal look to your property with our design expertise.
Our curated plant palette for this job includes:
- 'Little Bunny' Grass (Pennisetum alopecuroides)
