Landscape Design & Natural Stone Construction in Westford, MA
Westford is a town where outdoor spaces are meant to be lived in — where landscapes support busy households, evolving homes, and everyday life outside.
At Roots & Rocks Landscape Artisans, we design and build outdoor spaces in Westford that balance function and beauty — landscapes that feel natural, durable, and thoughtfully crafted.
We specialize in custom landscape design and natural stone construction for Westford homeowners who want outdoor spaces that work well, feel grounded, and are built to last.
Westford Project — A Hillside Retreat on Forge Village Road
One of our Westford projects took place along Forge Village Road, where a steep, awkward backyard made it difficult to use the outdoor space.
The design and construction included:
A large-format granite plank patio carefully stepped into the slope
A custom single-block granite fire pit tucked into the hillside for shelter and intimacy
Subtle retaining and grading to stabilize the hill without over-building it
Stone steps and pathways to make the space safe and easy to move through
The result is a backyard that feels protected, natural, and welcoming — a place for family gatherings, quiet evenings, and year-round enjoyment.
Practical, Site-Specific Landscape Design
Westford properties often include a mix of open lawns, wooded edges, sloped lots, and modern home additions.
Our process begins on site, where we look at:
How the space is currently used — and how you want to use it
Drainage, grading, and problem areas that need to be addressed
Sun, shade, and seasonal changes
How the landscape can better support everyday life
From there, we design spaces that are:
Easy to move through
Durable enough for regular use
Natural enough to feel calm and grounded
Structured enough to feel intentional
Natural Stone Patios, Steps, and Outdoor Features
We are known for our use of New England granite and our hands-on, artisan approach to stone.
In Westford, we often design and build:
Custom stone patios for gathering, dining, and relaxing
Granite steps and hillside stairways for safe circulation
Retaining and garden walls that stabilize and define space
Fire pits and seating features for family and friends
Walkways connecting additions, garages, and backyard spaces
Drainage and grading solutions that solve real site issues
Low-voltage lighting for safety, ambiance, and evening use
Every element is built to be structurally sound, visually grounded, and appropriate to the setting.
Landscapes Designed for Real Life
Westford clients often want landscapes that:
Can handle kids, pets, and frequent use
Feel cohesive with newer architecture or renovations
Solve water, slope, or access challenges
Still feel beautiful and connected to nature
Our work is about finding that balance — not overly formal, not overly rustic, but grounded, functional, and timeless.
