Landscape Design & Natural Stone Construction in Lexington, MA
Lexington is a town where architecture, design, and landscape often move together — where thoughtful homes are paired with outdoor spaces that are equally intentional.
At Roots & Rocks Landscape Artisans, we design and build landscapes in Lexington that feel composed, restrained, and deeply connected to the architecture they surround.
We specialize in custom landscape design and natural stone construction for Lexington homeowners who value design integrity, material honesty, and landscapes that feel considered rather than decorative.
Lexington Project — Mid-Century Modern on High Street
One of our Lexington projects was completed on High Street in collaboration with McCormack Builders as part of a new mid-century modern home.
The landscape was conceived as a Japanese-inspired garden — a quiet counterpoint to the architecture — using stone, water, and planting to create a sense of calm, balance, and movement.
The design and construction included:
A large-format natural stone walkway guiding visitors through the garden
Custom-integrated stone lighting that softly illuminates the space at night
A sculptural stone water wall that provides sound, movement, and reflection
A boulder fire feature that anchors the outdoor living space and creates warmth and gathering
Every element was designed to complement the clean lines of the home while introducing softness, texture, and a connection to nature.
Landscape Design That Responds to Architecture
Lexington projects often involve strong architectural intent — modern homes, historic renovations, and carefully curated interior spaces.
Our role is to extend that same level of design thinking outdoors.
We study:
The geometry, scale, and proportion of the home
The way indoor and outdoor spaces connect
How materials and textures can echo or contrast the architecture
How movement through the landscape can be choreographed
The result is a landscape that feels like part of the architecture — not an afterthought to it.
Natural Stone as Structure, Texture, and Art
We are known for our use of natural stone not just as a building material, but as a design medium.
In Lexington, we often design and build:
Flagstone and slab walkways
Sculptural stone features and focal points
Fire features integrated into seating and terraces
Stone walls and garden boundaries
Water features and water walls
Low-voltage lighting integrated into stone elements
Plantings that soften and frame architectural forms
Each element is shaped, placed, and composed with intention.
A Curated, Calm, and Enduring Aesthetic
Lexington landscapes often benefit from restraint and clarity.
Our work here tends to focus on:
Simple, strong compositions
Limited but refined material palettes
Natural textures paired with clean lines
Spaces that feel calm, ordered, and timeless
We aim to create landscapes that feel quietly powerful — spaces that support the architecture and elevate everyday experience.
Serving Lexington Homeowners Who Value Design & Craft
We work with Lexington homeowners who:
Care deeply about design quality
Appreciate thoughtful collaboration with builders and architects
Value material integrity and craftsmanship
Want landscapes that feel intentional and lasting
Most of our projects are custom and built in close collaboration with the design and construction team.
