Supreme attention was given to the protection of these old shoreline red oaks during the construction of this waterfront home. Formerly a suburban ranch with conventional lawns and foundation plantings, the owners can now circulate around their house through a series of gardens that prominently feature native plants. In contrast to its suburban neighborhood, this property now provides a haven habitat for pollinators and wildlife, vegetated drainage-ways and shorelines that mitigate erosion, and ever-changing beauty throughout the year.
