Restoring Heritage Gardens - Devon House
The Garden Story:
When these long time clients decided it was time to downsize they moved on from their large heritage property at Kennas Hill to Devon House on Portugal Cove Road. The designated heritage property needed some updating and refinishing before it was to the new owners standards and the same was true for the landsacpe.
The design intention here was to pay homage to the former property on Kenna’s hill while creating a formal English garden that fell in line with the character of the house itself.
What Our Clients Say:
“"Steve Ryan and Convenience Crew did landscape work for us at 39 Portugal Cove Road in 2024 and 2025. This involved the transplanting of several trees and shrubs from our former property at 14 Kenna’s Hill and the rebuilding of the lawns and flower beds at Portugal Cove Road. They provided excellent advice on the disposition of the new plants, trees and beds; rebuilt some stone walls and coordinated with Island Irrigation on the installation of a new in-ground irrigation system.The work was done under a time constraint and completed on time.
Convenience Crew has been excellent to work with: cheerful, thoughtful and prompt. They maintain superb lines of communication with their clients ensuring that we are kept informed on the progress of work and of any complications that might prevent their coming on a booked day. We will continue to use them in the future and are happy to recommend them to others.”- Shane & Maire O’dea
