No-Mow May is not beneficial to our native species. Feel free to mow your lawn this May.

If you would like to support native pollinators, butterflies, and birds... grow native plants! The majority of lawn weeds are not native. Some notable exceptions include common blue violet, Quaker ladies, and wild strawberry-- these are native plants and highly beneficial to wildlife.

If you would like to grow a native plant garden, please reach out, we can help!

We’re Van Riper Land & Home, a small design-build company based in Deerfield, NH. We build and renovate spaces with the goal of making your home and property more useful, comfortable, and connected.

We believe landscapes are meant to be lived in, not just looked at.

A good landscape bridges the gap between your home and the land around you. It makes it easier to get outside, use your outdoor space the way you want to, and creates more opportunities for connection with the natural world.

That can mean patios, walkways, native plants, stoops, decks, fences, retaining walls, drainage improvements, or thoughtful repairs and upgrades that make the property work better.

We still have some availability for this upcoming season. Reach out if you’d like to talk through a project.
