Rustic Country and Farmhouse Garden Landscape Design and Installation

Preserving the Past, Cultivating the Future
Country landscaping brings together the sweeping views of pastures, fields, and meadows – acknowledging the hard-working generations that have nurtured the land. Hanselman Landscape restores the gardens of historic homes and also designs landscapes for recently constructed country homes. Whether your style is rustic farmhouse or country estate, our team’s primary goal is to preserve that character in a peaceful, bucolic setting.
respecting local environments
There is a charm and grace to the sweeping vistas of pastures, meadows, and cropland, with homes that have nurtured hard-working generations tucked here and there into the landscape. Whether restoring a historic home’s gardens or designing the landscape of a recently-built country house, the primary focus is to preserve and provide access to the views and character that drew people to live in this peaceful, pastoral setting.


providing shelter
The need to account for and deal with strong winds and sunshine is significant in rural outdoor life. One of the charms of typically more significant properties in the country is the opportunity to create “space apart,” a sheltered nook where one can enjoy the fresh air and perhaps read, play, or observe nature with shade from the sun and shelter from the wind. Well-placed, these spaces add depth to the experience of life without interrupting the surrounding vistas. Areas for sports, trails for walking and riding, plots for growing vegetables and fruit, and meadows for livestock are all part of the country setting. They can be incorporated into country estate landscape planning.
using local and natural materials
Natural stone, brick, stucco, and wood are common elements that form the textural palette of buildings in country settings. Extending the use of these enduring natural elements into the garden in hand-formed walls, walks, and structures keeps the comfortable sense of continuity with the local surroundings.
