Grow healthier, more beautiful gardens. We design and install custom planting beds, combining premium organic compost and soils with native perennials, shrubs, and clean edges.
Garden bed installation on Martha's Vineyard combines balanced planting palettes, premium organic compost, and clean edges. Infinity Landscaping designs bed shapes around the home's architecture and selects evergreen shrubs, ornamentals, perennials, and groundcovers that coordinate in color, texture, and bloom time. Foundation plantings, perennial borders, and pollinator beds all suited to Island soils and deer pressure.
We design bed shapes that match your home's architecture and topography. We select a balanced mix of evergreen shrubs, deciduous ornamentals, perennial flowers, and groundcovers that coordinate in color, texture, height, and bloom time.
Healthy plants start with healthy soil. We excavate bed areas to remove weed roots, break up compacted subsoil, and blend in premium organic compost, aged manure, leaf mold, and biochar to create a nutrient-rich planting base.
We establish crisp, defined lines between your lawn and garden beds. Whether you prefer a deep-cut hand-edged soil border, natural fieldstone borders, or durable aluminum edging, we ensure your bed lines stay neat and easy to maintain.
To protect your new plantings, we install low-volume drip irrigation tubing directly on the soil surface, providing deep moisture to roots. We then cover the beds with premium double-shredded cedar or pine mulch to suppress weeds and conserve water.
Martha's Vineyard soils are famously sandy and fast-draining, particularly in down-island areas like Edgartown and Oak Bluffs. Without proper organic matter, water and fertilizers leach away quickly, starving plant roots. Up-island, clay deposits and rocks can create drainage pools that lead to root rot.
Our garden bed installations are designed around these variations. We perform soil texture and pH tests before selecting plants, ensuring we amend sandy beds with plenty of organic compost to hold water, or design gravel-based drainage layers for clay-heavy yards. We focus on planting native and adapted species that once established, survive dry island summers and coastal winds.
A selection of recent landscape design projects across Martha's Vineyard.
Placing tall shrubs and evergreens at the back, mid-sized perennials in the center, and low groundcovers along the borders to create depth.
Pairing fine-textured grasses with broad-leafed hostas or hydrangeas to add visual interest even when flowers are not in bloom.
Designing beds that offer color and structure across all seasons-from spring bulbs and summer perennials to fall foliage and winter evergreen branches.
Selecting native flowering plants that attract local pollinators, bees, and butterflies, supporting the Island's ecosystem.
