Welcome to the Rooted Blog! This is where I get to share the things I’m always thinking about—plants, gardens, stone, outdoor living, nature, and all the little things I’ve learned after more than 18 years of designing and building landscapes.

You’ll find gardening tips, planting ideas, seasonal advice, landscape design inspiration, and plenty of thoughts about making the most of the space outside your door. Some posts will be practical—like what to plant, when to prune, or how to solve a tricky spot in your yard. Others might be more about the why behind a design, a plant I’m loving, a project we’re working on, or something I’ve noticed while spending time outside.

You’ll also find plenty of inspiration for simply enjoying your outdoor space. Maybe that’s growing vegetables, having dinner with friends, gathering around a fire with the kids, watching the birds, or just finding a quiet place to sit for a few minutes.

So grab a cup of coffee, poke around, and see what you find in this compilation of random thoughts, ideas, observations, and things I’ve learned along the way. Hopefully there’s something here that makes you want to get outside, try something new, or simply look at your own landscape a little differently.

Take a breath, dig in, and let’s get Rooted.
