Maine Mineral and Gem Museum

Project: Rock Garden, Hardscape, Landscape, Irrigation
Location: Bethel, Maine

This project was one of the highlights of 2015. It included every aspect of our Davis Landscape full service landscape firm. The Hardscape crew worked tirelessly to create a rock garden where the stones, minerals, and gems used were all locally produced, here in Maine, albeit a few billion years in the making. The landscape, irrigation, and site work crews also had integral parts to make sure the end result was seamless.

100% Maine stones are delivered.
