Natural stone adds functionality and beauty to any landscape setting.

Hardscaping can be used to establish traffic patterns, provide outdoor-entertaining space or hold back steep slopes.

Cut stones can be used to create a formal look, while uncut stones offer a more natural appearance.

Boulders can be used to hi-light plantings and water features.

Man-made paving stones are stronger and more durable than asphalt, thus making them a better choice for a more attractive and longer lasting driveway.

Daffodils

Brent & Becky’s Bulbs is primarily a wholesale producer of bulbs. While most of their bulbs are produced in Holland, their farm in Gloucester is the site of their processing, packaging and distribution services.

Several display gardens including a “Catalog Garden” are on site to give visitors a first hand look at available material.

Retail purchases can be made in their Bulb Shop, through their website and by phone.

The Bulb Shop on Daffodil Lane in Gloucester features a class room, which can accommodate up to 50 people. Groups are welcome to schedule visits, which can include workshops and lectures presented by Brent and Becky.
