Flack Residence

Posted on August 16, 2012 by Jaime

I had the delight of working with Ms. Flack on her NW Portland balcony garden. In full shade all day we were able to create a fabulously lush textured garden scheme with varying shades of green foliage that will be interrupted by blossoms of pale pinks, lavenders, and whites throughout the year.

I was delighted with the results and Ms. Flack had this to say upon her first viewing of the freshly installed garden:

“OMG! This is so wonderful! I am over the moon excited! Thank you for making this truly my home!” (it was a text message)

Texts like that are almost as beautiful as this garden.

Posted on May 13, 2012 by Jaime

Last year at this time we were putting the finishing touches on the Zak Residence’s landscape design. You can see before photos here. Last week I visited to see how its looking a year later. The tulips and the beading heart were certainly doing their jobs!

Crane Residence 2

Posted on May 5, 2012 by Jaime

Phase One of the Crane Residence was installed last Spring.

Lawn, irrigation, and soil preparations were installed in 2011. The yard looked pretty good that first summer, especially with a few annuals for accenting the patio. See more before & after pics.

This April We Installed Phase Two

Since this is a project for my cousins, we had the whole family helping out! It was great to collaborate with my talented Aunt Connie on the planting layout and have my little brother around for the extra hard labor. We had so much fun! Props to Commercial care for the planting installation too!

Trees & Shrubs Installed Spring 2012

Quaking Aspen, Coral Bark Japanese Maple, Red & Yellow Twig Dogwood, Salal, Creeping Oregon Grape, Lily, & Clumping Rose are just some of the highlights.
