Landscape design & build for Stamford
Yardzen designs everywhere in the U.S. and the Stamford area is one of our favorites. Nestled along Connecticut’s coveted southern shoreline, Stamford balances a bustling urban core against spacious, verdant neighborhoods.
-
Homes tend toward traditional architectural styles, and landscapes follow suit - if you’re looking for large lawns, hedges, foundation planting, and orderly rows of flowers and shrubs, you’ll find plenty in Stamford.
-
You’ll also find plenty of green. The humid climate and long growing season are a boon to plants, provided they can tolerate the swing from summer heat to winter chill. Large trees - maples, hemlocks, birches, and oaks - offer grandeur, shade, and gorgeous fall color throughout the city.
-
Whatever your landscape vision may be, Yardzen is ready to make it a reality, working with you to craft a landscape design that achieves the look, feel, and function you are dreaming of, then connecting you with a vetted contractor from Yardzen’s Pro Network to get your design built.

WHAT YARDZEN CLIENTS ARE SAYING
STAMFORD LANDSCAPING FAQS
-
Following the English Colonial style, landscapes commonly feature large lawns, with ornamental planting composed of hedges, floral rows, and shrubby accents concentrating design around house perimeters.
Large trees grow well in Stamford, and make for great focal points.
Hardscapes skew traditional as well, predominantly featuring brick, stone, and cobble pavers.
-
Boxwoods and hollies are immensely popular shrubs that can achieve the coveted hedge look. Before you default to boxwood, we recommend giving the native Ilex glabra a try.
Perennial flowers are, in general, quite popular, and there are many great options to choose from - eastern purple coneflower, blue-stemmed goldenrod, and New England aster are a few native staples, as is the introduced (and immensely popular) daylily. If you are planting daylilies, take care: they’re extremely toxic to cats.
-
Plants in Stamford must be hardy enough to tolerate a climate that ranges from hot summers to cold winters. Our advice: start by looking at native species. They are apt to thrive, having evolved within the local climate.
Landscapes must also consider people’s climate-tolerance. Summer outdoor spaces should welcome cool breezes from the south while offering shelter from afternoon storms and a long season of sunshine. Outdoor spaces can remain viable later into the year when winter sun is able to heat them - plant deciduous trees to the south and west of seating areas to shade them during summer but allow warming winter sunlight through.
-
Now! Any time of year is great to begin work on a landscape project.
Utilizing the winter to work through the design phase sets you up to get on contractors’ books early in the build season, so you can have your design installed and ready to enjoy in time for summer.
