Sue's Landscape Design Began with a desire to create gardens and watch them grow in my own landscape. I would often go to the Garden Center and purchase a cart full of blooming plants and with excitement I would place them in my garden ....3 months later they would either die, look 1/2 dead, or flourish...I never knew what made the difference! But it was so disappointing and a definate waste of money!
I began studying in 1989 with Landscape Design, Horticulture, and have taken night classes for techniques with Rain Gardens, Feng Shui Design, High Dessert Gardening and Drought Tolerant Gardens. Working at a local plant nursery for 2 years has helped with my knowledge and enjoyment of trying new plants.
My husband Jim owns a Landscape Maintainence Company called Jim's Outdoor Services.
I refer all maintainence to him including placing plants for the new Landscape I've just designed. He does Gutter Cleaning; Pruning; Lawn Maintainence including thatching, winterizing, re-seeding, fertilizing, mowing and edging. http://jimsoutdoorservices.com
Our contracting work is referred to James Dinsmore. His expertise in hardscapes including walls, patios, steps, arbors, ponds, lighting, installing water systems and new sod for the lawn is amazing! James' blog can be found along with examples of his work at
