Our emphasis is on working with natural stone and clay brick. Our strength is in the knowledge that the foundation of a garden is its soil. We prepare your soil with a careful process of digging and tilling with the addition of organic compost. The old time horticulturalists would say: “You dig a $100 hole for a $10 plant.”

Slattery & Company was started by Joe Slattery who has been working in High-End Horticulture and Landscape Construction in the U.S. since 1985. Before that, Joe worked for many years in Ireland and the U.K. on various construction projects.

Joe grew up on a small farm in County Galway, in the West of Ireland. From the time he was a small boy, he was either building or repairing the stone walls that separated fields on the farm or putting composted manure on the tillage fields to amend the less-than-fertile soil – we were always organic.
