Why Saugerties Homeowners Choose Us
Saugerties, where the Esopus Creek meets the Hudson River in northern Ulster County, is a village of uncommon charm and natural beauty. The historic village center along Main Street and Partition Street features a collection of 19th-century commercial and residential buildings that have been lovingly restored, while the surrounding Town of Saugerties encompasses rolling farmland, wooded hillsides, and riverfront properties that represent some of the most desirable residential real estate in the Mid-Hudson Valley.
The landscape character of Saugerties is shaped by water. The Esopus Creek carves through the town with dramatic falls and cascades, while the Hudson River defines the eastern boundary with tidal marshlands and bluffs. This relationship with water inspires landscape designs that incorporate naturalistic water features — cascading waterfalls, stream beds, and rain gardens — that echo the natural hydrology of the area. Properties along Route 9W and the Glasco Turnpike offer Hudson River views that demand outdoor living spaces designed to celebrate the vista.
Saugerties has become a magnet for creative professionals and discerning homeowners who are drawn to its artistic community, proximity to the Catskills, and the authentic village lifestyle. The famous Saugerties Lighthouse, accessible only by foot along a half-mile trail, embodies the spirit of a community that values the journey as much as the destination. These homeowners bring sophisticated design expectations and a deep appreciation for craftsmanship, materials, and the integration of built and natural environments.
Our team has a strong presence in Saugerties and northern Ulster County, with completed projects ranging from intimate cottage gardens in the village to expansive estate landscapes along the river. Located approximately 30 miles from our New Paltz headquarters, Saugerties is firmly within our core service area. We understand the specific conditions of the Esopus Creek watershed, the local stone sources, and the design sensibilities of a community that values authenticity above all else.

For properties along the Hudson River and Route 9W, we design outdoor living spaces that frame the river views — elevated stone patios, terraced seating areas, and fire features positioned to maximize the panoramic experience.
Farmhouse & Barn Conversions
Saugerties' agricultural heritage means many properties feature converted barns and farmhouses. We design landscape settings that honor the rural character while adding contemporary outdoor living amenities.
Natural Stone Patios & Walls
Using locally sourced bluestone and fieldstone, we create patios, walkways, and retaining walls that feel as though they grew from the Saugerties landscape. Our stonework complements the village's historic architecture and natural setting.
