What plants suit a historic Westfield home?

Classic, timeless choices tend to work best — boxwood for structure, hydrangeas, peonies, ornamental trees like dogwood and Japanese maple, and traditional foundation plantings. The goal is a landscape that looks like it has always belonged with the house, rather than a trendy design that will date quickly.

Do I need approval to landscape a historic Westfield property?

Standard plantings generally don't require approval, but significant hardscape changes or work on a formally designated historic property may. We're familiar with the design expectations of Westfield's older neighborhoods and will flag anything that might need review before we begin.

What hardscape materials look right on an older Westfield home?

Natural stone — bluestone, granite, and traditional brick — complements older architecture far better than modern concrete pavers in most cases. We help homeowners choose materials and patterns that feel period-appropriate while still being durable and low-maintenance.
