The gardens that I design complement existing or planned hardscaping. My designs are centered on the following characteristics:

​

• Biodiverse mixed borders with four-season interest 

• Cost-effective and low maintenance

• Xeriscape techniques (reduced lawn areas and water needs, soil care, proper selection of non-invasive plants, maximizing use of native plants, companion planting)

• Deer-resistant and supportive of pollinators and birds
