For this #midcentury garden, we used a stacked bond thermal bluestone, board form concrete walls and a quartet of native hornbeam in a gravel terrace. Builder: @fourbrothersdc Landscaper: @plantedearthlandscapinginc Lighting/Irrigation: @natureunlimitedllc Masonry: @serrastonecorp

We are continuing to introduce our terrific team. Today, we are featuring Iyanla McSwain, who joined us about 18 months ago, after finishing her degree at North Carolina A&T. Iyanla's a thoughtful and sensitive designer and we're thrilled to see some of her planting plans -- and other design work -- become built this year.

Lighting walkthroughs are always so fun (especially when the sun sets earlier in the evening). We are delighted with how this Mid Century project turned out. The site is terraced with walls that undulate in footprint and elevation. Can't wait to photograph this in spring!

Her work combining agrotourism and sustainability is an inspiration. Can’t wait to visit again, particularly with @thegroundsoflivev team!

Excited to share another pic of this project, recently featured in @milieumag Fall Issue. The park behind this Bethesda property provides a wooded backdrop for this French limestone pool terrace. Arborvitaes at the bottom of the retaining wall are clipped into a hedge, providing a datum line at the edge of the forest.

Sometimes our role as a LA is to hold back and let the site and building speak for themselves. A light touch goes a long way....

Cool season veggies in this Chevy Chase garden— this garden is a great size for intermediate interests, big enough to try some new foods, but not overwhelming.

We are delighted that our project with @donaldlococoarchitects and @darrylcarterdesign is featured in @milieumag The key feature in this garden is a grove of hornbeams set in a courtyard. Limestone covers a grid of Silva Cells, providing moisture and air to the roots. The effect is almost monastic. Swipe to see @plantedearthlandscapinginc installing the cells.

It's appropriate @dyaddesign shot Allie with some of the animals at @houseonwillowhill -- if there's a client with a pet, Allie immediately becomes smitten. She's also a top notch designer and all around great member of our team! See more about Allie on our website.

This townhouse garden on Embassy Row overlooks Rock Creek Park. We used a Chippendale style gate to provide a porous view to the woods beyond. Gravel paving gives the space a softer feel and a crunchy sound.

We wanted to brighten up the narrow backyard of this corner lot so we selected a tumbled lime stone that complements the white brick of the house, but doesn’t darken up the space. We hid a drainage channel at the bottom of the wall with river rock, which provides a nice opportunity to wash the wall in light.
