Current Design Projects in the Works








A cottage garden design for a client in Westfield, NJ. I've incorporated a brick walk, garden benches, shrubbery and a variety of perennials.




A back yard spa and pond design for a client in Morris County, NJ.



An outdoor room design idea for a residence in Pearl River, NY.  I have incorporated a pergola, fire place, patio and an outdoor kitchen.  The outdoor kitchen has bar, sink and wood burning pizza oven.  I have designed in a new fence and plantings to vissually tie the space together.



A back yard landscape plan for a residence located in Warwick, NY.  I have incorporated a stepping stone path, flagstone patio and bbq area framed with plantings.   



A Pool & Landscape Design for a NY Vacation Home.

A before and after view of the proposed swimming pool and landscaping design project. Inspiration came from a previous pool project that I had designed and installed. My clients asked if I could implement some of the design features into their site.
I'm proposing a free form swimming pool and waterfall. There will be two natural stone patio areas. I've surrounded the pool area with lush plantings which give a sense of enclosure and separation from the rest of the yard, but still have views out into the yard. They really want to keep the deer out so I designed a trellis for the visible areas at deer fence height.
This weekend home is located in the NY Catskills.

A Proposed Landscape & Walkway for a Warwick, NY Residence.  
A front yard landscape rendering that I prepared for a Warwick, NY residence. I am proposing a rustic stone wall along the front to separate the driveway and create some what of a rustic court yard. A garden path runs through a front yard shade garden, linking to a stone walkway that runs from the driveway to the side of the house. Along with shrubbery, perennials and ground covers I've also incorporated several Clump Birch Trees throughout the yard.

A Proposed Deck Renovation, Patio & Outdoor Kitchen for a Westchester Residence.

This Chappaqua NY residence has a very unusable backyard. Forty feet in grade changes within a short distance. My client asked that I create some useable terraces so that he can get out and use the property with his family including usable lawn areas. In this rendering I am proposing to give the existing deck a makeover so that it ties in with the new patio and landscaping that I am designing.
I am proposing a patio with surrounding seat walls, a built in bench, fire pit and an outdoor kitchen. I am very limited due to the impervious coverage restrictions in the town of Chappaqua.
I've chosen materials that work with the house but most of all lets me keep within a budget. The walls around the patio are to be color washed concrete walls. They can be stone veneered at a later date if the client so chooses. The patio is a concrete paver. The decking will be changed from wood to a low maintenance material.
To soften the hardscaping I am proposing to plant the surrounding areas with a variety of Evergreen, Shrubbery, Small Flowering Trees, Perennials & Groundcovers.

A Proposed Swimming Pool Renovation for a NY  Ski Lodge Turned Weekend Home. 

An old ski lodge purchased by my clients has been converted into a vacation home. One of the areas that I have been asked to redesign is the existing swimming pool area. A very large rectangular pool surrounded by concrete and a chain link fence.
I am proposing to greatly enlarge the space to take advantage of the beautiful setting and a give a feeling of spaciousness when inside to pool fencing area.
I'm using a rustic post and rail fence softened and partially hidden by sculpting the terrain as well as with plantings.
The patio is to be over sized flagstone with extra large joints that will be planted with grass. 
A pavilion with an outdoor kitchen and a small pool house with materials that match the main residence.
I'm proposing to renovate the interior of the pool adding a new step design, benches and a sun ledge so that chaise lounges can be placed in the pool.
The plantings are simple using large groupings including  Clump Birch Trees, Ornamental Grasses, Viburnum & White Hydrangea.





A Morris County, NJ Back Yard Make Over.

This is one of several concept plans that I came up with for this NJ back yard. I've added some shutters, trim work, lanterns and portico to the house to add some character. I've brought the main seating area into the garden and lowered it through a series of steps and terraces. I've softened the house and hardscaping with plantings.
