Lipsett and Bernstein also asked for Weiss's advice about the grounds. Weiss enlisted legendary landscape architect Michael Van Valkenburgh—who designed Hudson River Park in New York City and just happens to live down the road—to come up with a plan for replacing the bamboo grove, originally introduced to soften the backyard's steep incline. His answer? A meadow of native wildflowers and a gently graded path of stone risers lined on either side by mass plantings of hydrangeas, smoke bushes, and spireas.

To craft a kitchen garden, and fill it with the most delectable ingredients, Weiss and Lipsett roped in yet another neighbor: Chris Fischer, a chef who's worked under Mario Batali and hosts seasonal dinners at his family's Beetlebung Farm. This year, Lipsett's raised beds will be brimming with vegetables and herbs, while berries and figs thrive in a patch nearby.
