Garden Design/Consulting/Construction/Care

For more than 50 years, I’ve had the privilege of doing what I love most—designing, building, and caring for gardens that connect people to the outdoors. My work has ranged from intimate backyard spaces to large residential and estate landscapes, and every project has been an opportunity to combine thoughtful design, practical construction knowledge, and deep horticultural experience.

Beautiful gardens don’t happen by accident. They come from good planning, proper installation, and consistent, knowledgeable care over time. That’s where I come in. I provide consulting and hands-on guidance for homeowners who want to tackle projects themselves, as well as full-service design, construction oversight, and garden stewardship for clients who expect a high level of detail and long-term excellence.

Some people simply want clarity—what to plant, how to fix a problem area, or how to maintain what they already have. Others are looking to create extraordinary outdoor environments that evolve gracefully for decades. I enjoy working in both worlds, helping DIY gardeners gain confidence while also partnering with clients who want their landscapes executed and maintained to the highest standards.

Take a look through the gallery below to see examples of gardens I’ve helped bring to life over the years. Each one reflects a shared goal: creating outdoor spaces that feel personal, enduring, and worth getting a little dirty for.
