“The Knowledge is Given to the Crane from Above”
My Elevator Speech
My hope is to use this site to spread some info about the art and practice of Landscape Design. It is a very misunderstood profession; I do not cut grass like the next door neighbor's cousin who carries 3 mowers and a blower in the back of his truck.
I will also pass along comments on industry happenings, events, etc., and any maybe a few other adventures going on in my world-after all this is "my" blog. Thanks for stopping by and taking a look. Questions? Drop me an e-mail.

Hi Rick,
The placement and use of weathered stone vs broken stone on the stream border may be a key to the natural feel of this stream bed.
I appreciate your use of the natural stream constriction and fall of water in the upper left of the photo. You have achieved a natural looking flow of water into a pool.
I enjoy your work and learn a great deal from it.
