Here you will find some of the Projects that we are most proud of. We explain what makes the project so special... Whether it is a beautiful local material being used, or a complete transformation to a sustainable landscape design, a new eco-friendly approach to installation, or even a project where we made a friendship with the client or helped to create a new connection with the land.
We recently wrapped up this awesome project in Newmarket, New Hampshire. The client heard about us from their town Facebook page and liked that we focus on Sustainability. The mission was to deconstruct the original boulder retaining wall that was failing and to build a two-tier boulder retaining wall with granite steps, all while utilizing as much of the existing material as possible. We loved the idea of building something from stone that was already on site because reusing is sustainable!
Yes, we know that Newmarket is located in New Hampshire and not Maine, but when people looked at the pictures and said, "Wow, that looks very Maine-esque!", we had to headline that. It is thrilling to build a natural landscape that matches the look and feel of a region, terrain, or culture.
"Feels like home now."
In July of 2024 we completed a terrific project in Wells, Maine that was very fulfilling for several reasons. The client scheduled their Site Consultation all online using our website booking platform, and then decided on the SELECT Paver Package by Ajna. This was our company's first sale originating from the Booking page, and it was our first Paver Package sale! When we met the client for the first time we were thrilled to learn that our focus on Sustainability stood out to them and was a primary reason to contact us.
One way that our SELECT Paver Package adds values for the client is by offering a "Landscape Enhancement Add-On" where the client may make a selection from a list of "a la carte" landscape items and pay only the materials price while the labor to install is completely free. They decided on a "Plant Allowance" and we worked together to create a wonderful plant list. Less than 24-hours after installing the plants, butterflies were coming over to check things out!
Whether it was learning about and sourcing "Certified CCA Free" mulches, or discussing native plants, or explaining our permeable open-base construction technique, we worked together with the client to create a beautiful front landscape to welcome guests into their home. After all the stress of their recent move to a new house, it was so nice to hear them say that the new walkway made it feel like home.
This Project was special for many reasons, and there is blog post with much more detail. Just click the link on the Project title above. Here in upstate New York, in beautiful Washington County, the client decided to use locally-sourced irregular roofer's slate from Evergreen Slate Co., LLC in Granville. We blended that with some irregular slate the client had on-site. We also brought in re-used Morin brick from a previous project in New Hampshire, for an eye-popping border. It was exciting for Ajna Stonescapes, and for our client, to be able to build such a remarkable patio with materials that originated less than 45 minutes away from the Project site!
