Softscape & Planting
Living Landscapes. Enduring Beauty.
Overview
What We Offer
A landscape defined solely by stone and structure is incomplete. It is the living elements — the grasses, the flowering shrubs, the carefully placed trees — that give an outdoor space its soul. At LandMasters, softscape design is treated with the same rigour and intentionality as every other discipline we practise.
We select plants for their suitability to Martha's Vineyard's coastal conditions: species that tolerate salt air, sandy soils, and seasonal extremes without demanding constant intervention. The result is a landscape of genuine beauty that sustains itself with grace across every season.
Key Benefits
- Native and coastal-adapted plant selection
- Year-round seasonal interest and colour
- Salt air and wind-tolerant species
- Low-maintenance, high-impact compositions
- Seamless integration with hardscape elements
- Sourced from trusted local nurseries
How We Work
Our Process
Site Assessment
We evaluate soil conditions, sun exposure, drainage patterns, and the existing landscape to inform every planting decision.
Plant Selection
We curate species suited to Martha's Vineyard's coastal climate, chosen for beauty, resilience, and long-term performance.
Design
Planting plans are developed to create compositions with year-round interest, strategic mass, and harmony with hardscape elements.
Installation
Our team installs every plant with precision, ensuring correct depth, spacing, and soil preparation for lasting establishment.
Aftercare
We provide guidance on seasonal care and offer ongoing maintenance programmes to keep your planting at its finest.
Why LandMasters
The LandMasters Difference
Sixteen years on Martha's Vineyard have given us an intimate understanding of what thrives here and what does not. We do not impose standard planting schemes on coastal properties. Every composition we design is specific to the site, the architecture, and the way the light falls on your land at every hour of the day.
