I love gardens, really I do. I love the seasonal change. I love daffodils in the Spring, grasses blowing in the breeze, the warm hues of Autumn, and birds foraging in the winter landscape. I want to enjoy every day of every season.
However, there are a few things I'm less fond of. Weeds growing in the middle of a perennial that I now have to dislodge, deer eating the buds off of my perennials before they can bloom, and Japanese Beetles enjoying my garden more than I am. Call me crazy but those things can drive me a little, crazy.
As I have struggled through my mid-life crisis (so-to-speak) as a landscape designer I've come to the conclusion that I want my gardens to work for me, not put me to work. After a quarter century at this I know how to nuke a pest, pull a weed and tame a landscape. I'd just rather not. So I simply choose the native shrub that doesn't need to be sprayed, bushes that mature to the size I want them, and perennials that combine so effortlessly I can just set back, relax and enjoy them.
It really isn't about 'no' maintenance, it's about 'knowing' maintenance. If you want a landscape that works for you then put me to work designing your next project. You are free to browse our site for more information, and pictures of some of the projects we've completed. I love what I do and I think you will too.
