Recent Work

At this Cottage Style house we installed a White Garden with a rustic Flagstone Walkway and Patio in the backyard. We also installed a traditional white picket fence that had a Hicks Yew Hedge around the inside perimeter. In this shady backyard garden we incorporated a Woodland theme, with lots of Ferns, Hosta's, Trilliums, Solomons Seal and of course Rhododendron's.
