Late fall through winter is a great time to plant many trees. We recently planted these trees, a Green Giant Arborvitae, a Wildfire Black gum, a Trident Maple, and 3 Savannah Hollies, in midtown Memphis. Because this time of year is such a great time to plant, we gave the client a one year warranty even though he does not have an irrigation system. Call me if you need help selecting and planting trees.

This drawing is still not through. It takes a great deal of work to reach a final planting plan approved by a client. Elevation drawings are sometimes essential to communicating an idea. This backyard design, of which this is only a small part, is to have a lavender/yellow color scheme.

Looks like a good sale at Urban Earth.

I see this meme a lot. And while I appreciate good snark, it isn't helpful. Leaves in urban environments actually do end up in the municipal storm water system, increasing the likelihood of flooding. They also pile up against the trunks of shrubs and cause basal rot. And if they lay on turfgrass too long, they kill it. Though I understand that last part might not bother the anti-turf crowd, turf is a part of most managed designed environments. Killing turfgrass would lead to increased erosion when spring rains hit the following year. Normally, the cliche is not seeing the forest for the trees. But in this case, it is not seeing the trees for the forest. A forest can be perfectly healthy, though many woody plant and under canopy plants are dying, because there are so many springing up to replace them. But managing constructed landscapes is very different than managing forests. Managing urban forests is different than managing rural forests. Fact is, you can get your leaves up AND compost them. Don't confuse your laziness with bring environmentally responsible. ;-)

One of several big custom landscape updates we'll be installing this fall and winter. This one includes lots of corrected, repaired, and added brick work! Stay tuned for the rest of the fall design install lineup posting over the next few weeks. Then, look for photos of completed installs in a few months. Message me to get on the list for winter design work with spring/summer 2024 installs.

A beautiful accomplishment for Memphis!

I was meeting a client on Overton Park yesterday. So, already close, I stopped by Evergreen Yoga to check on some window box arrangements I installed in the spring.

It's time to hand prune azaleas, before July 15. Power trimmers reduce the lifespan of azaleas and will lead to increasing unsightliness over the years. Private message me with your address and contact information to get in queue now before spots fill up.
