SEBAGO LAKE HILLSIDE GARDEN

WINDHAM, MAAINE

Positioned along the eastern coast of Sebago Lake, this site has undergone a remarkable transformation, turning a previously degraded environment into a vibrant landscape. Through meticulous planning and adherence to stringent shoreline restoration standards, our team utilized reclaimed granite and native plant species to create a harmonious garden that elegantly connects the house to the lake, while managing nearly 20 feet of grade change. Initially choked with invasive plant species that did little to prevent erosion, the slope was stabilized with a dense array of multi-seasonal vegetation. The result is both soft infrastructure and a functional habitat, protecting the homeowner’s investment with an added benefit to the local ecosystem.
