 Our portfolio includes gardens and water features of all sizes. We’ve designed and installed landscapes with stone patios, bubbling millstones and formal ponds. Others have included naturalistic placid ponds, hillside springs, mountain streams and waterfalls. Our garden designs and installations have improved small areas of existing landscapes as well as larger estates.

 Owner and Landscape Designer John Gordon is an avid ‘hands-on’ gardener with a large private garden for testing the suitability of materials and plantings in various conditions. As a member of the Association of Professional Landscape Designers (APLD), Gordon is committed to the highest standards of professional competence, continuing education, and helping clients to understand the values inherent in quality landscape materials and plantings.
Continuing education, as in any profession, is especially necessary for garden and landscape designers. Gordon attends workshops in various aspects of the profession, and has taken classes in the Landscape Architecture Program at the University of Maryland. John shares his knowledge with presentations to area garden clubs and at Brookside Gardens. |
