A small selection of recent projects, mostly within an hour of the studio. We don’t publish every job — many clients prefer not to share — so consider this a representative cross-section, not a full catalog.

Reset the back steps in bluestone and replanted with limelight and oakleaf hydrangea. A small project that changed the whole back of the house.

Anchored a 1940s brick cottage with a single Little Gem magnolia and a quiet line of dwarf boxwood — almost everything else came out.

A 60-foot perennial border for a beekeeper: coneflower, salvia, fountain grass, Louisiana iris and a long stand of muhly that goes pink in October.

Hand-set Oklahoma flagstone seating circle with a low dry-stack stone wall. We come back every fall to re-set a stone or two — that’s the trade-off.

A narrow, hot side yard turned into a shaded gravel sitting room with a worn teak bench and a soft drift of salvias.

A long front walk re-graded, repaved in irregular flagstone, and underplanted in hydrangea and inland sea oats.
I take on a small number of projects each season. If your yard has been on your mind, send a note with a couple of photos and we’ll set up a walk-through.
