Shakerhouse Solar Meadow

Design 2019. Implementation 2020

An example of blank slate planning and design for a new build on Cape Cod. The homeowners had a dream for a passivhaus fueled by renewable energy from solar panels on the south-facing roof. To compliment their need for full sun exposure, the idea of a low-growing solar meadow space was born. Together, we created a dynamic garden full of native herbaceous flowering perennials and ornamental grasses to give the impression that their new home was immersed within a field of flowers.

Modern Drifts for a Modern Home

Design 2020. Implementation 2021

An example of blank slate planning and design, the home itself was complete when I arrived and my first impression was how sleek the facade appeared. We thoughtful located birch trees to direct sight lines and employed a rhythmic foundation plant palette to highlight the beautiful architecture. At the curb, we utilized a different planting approach using blocks to minimize maintenance and maximize flower power as each cluster explodes with color!

Prairie Garden at Intervale Farms

Design 2021. Implementation 2023

The inspiration for this project was never plants, but instead a collection of bronze sculptures of Mustang, Wolves, Bison, and Owls that made the estate feel more like a wildlife refuge than a residential garden. The opportunity was brought to me with goal to give these sculptures a permanent home immersed within a prairie-style garden that mimics the natural environments that many of these animals might be call home. The plant palette is low-growing to maintain panoramic views of the sculptures from all sides, all year round.

The Modern Farmhouse

Design 2023. Implementation 2024

Our intent was to extend the home’s interior outside. The patio is designed for high function and family dining. The space is programmed with a devoted grilling station, ample room for an eight person table set, and thoughtful connections to the play lawn and beyond.

Lakeside Oasis

Design 2022. Implementation 2023

We teamed up Piscataqua Landscaping & Tree Service (PLTS) to transform another lakeside property. LLD could not have accomplished this success without PLTS’s power of creation and symbiotic partnership.

LLD provided a collaborative design experience, acquired permit approval, and produced construction documents. This project features two permeable patios, Woodbury gray granite steps, and a diverse mix of native plants.

It’s not about what I can do for you, it’s about what we can do together.

Residential Perennial Gardens

Design 2021. Implementation 2022

We transformed a front yard into a blossoming perennial garden. This dynamic space includes over 60 different herbaceous perennials, with over 20+ native species and cultivars.

We hope the garden becomes home for wildlife and offers a brief moment of respite from the surrounding sea of pavement and mown turf.

You don't need acres to create a magical space!
