Landscape Plan in Progress

This is what I have been working on for my DAY job! It's not often I get to design for an entire property but in this instance I do!! This is the third landscape plan I have done for this particular client over the course of about 10 years. I think she moves a lot but that is great for me! She loves plants and really encourages my creativity. We will be starting the actual construction this week. Very exciting to watch it develop! Our client has renovated the entire house, inside and out, we get to be the finishing touch!

Have a great day!

Campfire Anyone??

A lovely little area for relaxing by a fire. I designed this backyard "retreat" last year, and it looks fabulous! Really happy with how it turned out. Again, I wish it was MY backyard!

New Garden

Here is one of the new front landscapes that I created last summer. A new interlocking brick driveway, walkway and porch with garden walls, natural stone, pillars. Great to come home to at the end of the day....if only it was MY house!!!

A landscape plan

This is a sample of what I create for my landscaping clients:


None of that new-fangled computer aided drawing for me! All done by hand!

My garden!

A shady little nook in my garden! We have three big maples in our back yard that try to suck the life out of anything else I plant. I have a ton of hostas that can take the competition from the maple roots. Some brunnera, coral bells, tiarella....good thing I love shade plants!!

Front Garden Design

Well since I am a landscape designer, I thought I'd post some finished pics of some of my garden creations. So here is one of them:

A square cut flagstone path, a trio of stone pillars, river rock, and ornamental grasses.
