Our Story
Stones hold some serious power — you can feel their weight and energy when you’re standing near them. At Birch Grove, Nick Zacarelli incorporates that energy into creative and innovative outdoor landscapes, balancing awe and power with beauty and reflection. Encountering these elements daily in your outdoor space awakens the senses, brings inspiration, and expands perspective. When we push the limits with creation, it serves as a reminder of what we’re capable of when we put our best efforts forward.

As humans, our connection to stone goes back tens upon tens of millennia. Each project we take on hones in on that connection, tailoring the design to bring you closer to the natural elements that have helped us as a species survive. All stone is hand-picked by Nick and sourced from local quarries throughout New England, some abandoned and some operational. Each stone is individually aged, weathered, and reclaimed from unused stone piles hidden within the outer edges of the quarry. As a result, these creations are resourceful and environmentally conscious. No two pieces are the same, whether it’s a statue, stepping stone path, arbor, bench, or monolith sculpture. Our landscapes have the power to inspire your life outdoors.
We believe art and your outdoor living space shouldn’t be mutually exclusive.
We create highly custom, unique, and truly extraordinary landscapes that elevate and enhance the aesthetic appeal and value of your home or property. This is not just “landscaping.” When you hire Birch Grove, you’re retaining a skilled artisan, experienced landscape designer, and master stonemason who will completely transform your outdoor space as you know it.
