Landscaping in Pine Bush
Pine Bush, straddling the border of Orange and Ulster Counties in the Town of Crawford, is a hamlet that embodies the rugged, independent spirit of the western Mid-Hudson Valley. Surrounded by the Pine Bush Preserve — one of the world's best remaining examples of an inland pine barrens ecosystem — this community offers a landscape character unlike anywhere else in the region: sandy soils, pitch pine forests, and a terrain that transitions from the Shawangunk foothills to the rolling farmland of western Orange County.
The residential character of Pine Bush is refreshingly diverse. Historic farmhouses along Route 52 and Burlingham Road sit alongside newer developments that have attracted families from across the region. Properties here tend toward generous lot sizes — often an acre or more — providing the space for ambitious outdoor living projects that would be impossible on the smaller lots of more densely developed communities. This space, combined with the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape, creates ideal conditions for pools, outdoor kitchens, and complete backyard transformations.
Pine Bush's unique geology — the sandy, well-drained soils of the pine barrens transitioning to the heavier clays of the surrounding farmland — requires a landscape approach that understands the specific conditions of each property. Drainage solutions that work on the clay soils may be unnecessary on the sandy parcels, while the pine barrens properties may require soil amendment for plantings. This variability demands the kind of site-specific expertise that only a local team can provide.
Located approximately 18 miles from our New Paltz headquarters, Pine Bush is well within our core service area. We have completed projects throughout Crawford, from rustic log home landscapes to contemporary suburban builds. We understand the unique conditions of this community — the soil variability, the pine barrens ecology, and the design preferences of homeowners who chose Pine Bush for its space, privacy, and connection to the natural landscape.
