Summer slow down! Let’s throw it back to late June, when Hoffman Landscapes invited us into the outside for a Summer Succulent Social at the home of New Canaan Mom and very happy Hoffman Landscapes client, Melissa Baker. Wow! What a morning spent in one of Hoffman’s beautiful backyard oases. The event featured a panel of landscape architects and a lesson in succulent planting from renowned floral designer Emily Candee. With input from the Hoffman professionals, each guest left the party with her own self-created succulent planter.
What sets Hoffman Landscapes apart from other landscaping companies is the Hoffman Total Approach. One call to Hoffman and everything is done – concept, design, build, installation, and maintenance. Hoffman sources and manages the entire team to transform your exterior into another living space for your family. Check out this Hoffman transformation. Call Hoffman today to start planning and designing so your vision is achieved for next summer’s social season. 203.801.2037
