A MARDERS GARDEN is never a common experience. The plantings evoke freedom, quality of life and pleasure. Every project is approached with an open mind and completed with a site-specific solution. Designs are devised and carried out with on-site decisions that create a balanced fit that’s impossible to achieve on paper.
A fearless use of unusual planting combinations and a deviance from convention have grown Marders into a horticultural giant over the past 30 years. Gold foliage, set against deep purple leaves in a sunlit pocket; a giant European beech tree, masterfully set into plantings that immediately set the tone of maturity found in a 100-year-old garden story; the most unusual flowering perennial, planted in that small patch near the arrival walk, enlivening every day and creating envy among visitors— this is Marders.
Our company is composed of passionate gardeners, classically trained in the arts. This training gives Marders a larger frame of visual reference and effect. Few gardens are constructed with the process and care we offer. Marders is a unique landscaping company that holds the attitude that anything is possible—its tasteful eye and powerful sense of placement create horticultural transformations that are unusual, dramatic and instantly timeless. 120 Snake Hollow Road, Bridgehampton, 537-3700; marders.com
