Welcome!   Here you can view images from my landscaping portfolio and sample plans.   A couple of high lights I would like to point out:  click the "video interview" tab to  see a nice chat I had with the museum's director about a historic garden restoration I directed; and, under the "about" tab are some letters of reference.  My site remains a work in progress. Additional images and information will be put on-line from time to time.

Whether working for an expansive country place estate like Oldfields, the 26 acre National Historic Landmark on the campus of the Indianapolis Museum of Art....

 ... or a planting of Canna and annuals for a modest cottage garden, I bring the same attention to detail; concern for communicating effectively  with client and designer/salesperson; and, staying within budget.  Not every project requires the most expensive features; but, every customer deserves honest, workman-like service.
