Step Entrance to Woods
Composite stone steps lead from one garden space down into another. The concrete step stone walkway repeats materials used elsewhere in the garden. The sculpture at the end of the walk was made on-site Spaces are created with mostly native and traditional Southern plant materials including Southern Magnolia, dogwoods, oak and maple trees, hollies, hydrangeas, gardenias, itea, and camellias.

A concrete and brick sidewalk is used to create a riding loop through the garden for children and bikes. The spaces were created with traditional southern garden plants including itea, southern magnolia, tea olive, viburnums, azaleas, daylily, hydrangeas and assorted other shrubs and groundcovers for shade and scent.

Backyard Track
Entry Walkway
This is an entry into a backyard garden. The concrete step stones were dry laid in crusher run limestone gravel. Massing was created with Indian hawthorn, lambs ear and dwarf yaupons, with the “tunnel” formed from wax myrtle and Nellie R. Stevens holly. Birmingham, Al.
This modernist garden was design as a transitioning materials walkway. The patio is graded from stamped concrete to solid concrete step stones, to running concrete step stones in crusher run gravel and finally to crusher run gravel only. Crisp edging is provided by metal. Plantings consist of native plant material and vegetables. Birmingham, Al. (more…)
This landscape planting plan was designed to create curb appeal. The issue was that from the street the garage was highly visible, but the front door was hidden.
Lawn Architecture
We used carefully selected plantings of miscanthus, sedum, black-eyed suzie and liriope to screen the garage, frame the view to the house and literally point the way to the front door. A mass planting of hollies at the far side of the yard screened the neighbor’s house reinforcing the view to the door.
