The redesign for the restaurant, shopping and apartment complex, Vermella at Garwood Station, introduced a variety of diverse native plantings after the originally planted monoculture of Knockout Roses succumbed to an outbreak of rose rosette virus, which spreads rapidly and has no cure. This planting was completed in the fall of 2025. Phase 2 included a large planting for South Street, which will be completed before the end of the month (June 2026).

Conditions for this planting were less than ideal. The large Maples are truly beautiful, but shallow rooted and fierce competitors for water. Their shade posed another challenge. The barren soil is rocky and the home’s well system did not have the capacity for irrigation. And let’s not forget we’re in rural NJ (Califon), so the 🦌🦌🦌 are regular visitors! It’s now mid February and the homeowner reports that the deer are bedding down amongst these plants and haven’t nibbled a single one! This is Phase One of this project; Phase Two will include the back yard to be completed this Spring.

Late September in the strolling garden. Hard to believe the majority of this garden was planted mere months ago… drip irrigation is a savior during this extremely dry September.

Just in time for New Year’s! Phase 1 of this very challenging Summit, NJ property with a steep slope to the front entrance was completed this week. Bluestone was handpicked to match the existing front stoop. The wall is not only beautiful, but creates a much less drastic slope to the home’s entry. And with a growing family it’s nice to have a spot for a bench to sit and greet the kids as they come off the school bus each day. It’s been a wet foggy week here in New Jersey, but that didn’t stop our hardworking crews from getting this job done and done! .nj

There used to be 2 big Oaks and a Tulip Poplar in this bed. A full home renovation occurred before we were hired to design the landscape. Trucks and machines were parked all over the property, beneath the tree canopies, most likely the cause of their demise. As each tree was removed, we filled in here and there, until it was time for a new tree (a gorgeous Bloodgood Japanese Maple) and lots of new plants for a whole transformation
