Recent work

Six gardens. A few hundred more.

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.

Hydrangea Steps · Sibley

Hydrangea Steps · Sibley

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

Magnolia Front · Minden

Magnolia Front · Minden

2023

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

Pollinator Border · Doyline

2024

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.

Fire-pit Pad · Heflin

Fire-pit Pad · Heflin

2022

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.

Side-yard Cottage Garden · Cotton Valley

Side-yard Cottage Garden · Cotton Valley

2024

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

Walk-through Garden · Sarepta

Walk-through Garden · Sarepta

2023

A long front walk re-graded, repaved in irregular flagstone, and underplanted in hydrangea and inland sea oats.

Could yours be next?

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.
