FormLA LandscapingHot Lips Salvia blooms look more like those of snapdragons than the notable wands of its sister salvias. It gets its name from the white and red tips of it's blooms that look like "Hot Lips". In spring, its fiesta red blooms seem to fill the garden.
In winter, Hot Lips' foliage also brings something distinctive to the garden. Its woodier stalks and delicate, deep green leaves create a dramatic backdrop for the silvery foliage of Salvia Clevelandii and cassia.

Salt + Dirt | Outside DesignIn a vast natural landscape, the formal design of intentionally landscaped beds often jars, visually.
This Client came from Lake Forest, Illinois, the land of gentrified old world landscapes. Here in the Rockies, she left behind her corporate career to immerse herself in horses, art and a new life lived in connection with family and Nature. She wanted a simple landscape that spoke to these new desires.
For this project, we crafted opportunities for Nature to weave its way back into the landscape. The circle drive is the first whiff of this. Designed around a gnarled cedar, the spirit of this entire ranch, we simplified the plant palette, bringing in native and regionally adapted grasses and wildflowers. And that's it! These colors burn against the silvers and tawny browns of Missouri Heights!

Private Gardens, Public PlacesSwitchback paths were created and erosion was stopped by the use of native plants to make this beautiful and textured landscape on a steep bank down to Lake Michigan.
LandWorks, Inc.LandWorks first navigated a most challenging local government approval process because of this home’s placement on a lake, but it was passed by local government and came together beautifully.
Our lovely clients trusted our team to deliver on an involved hardscape and landscape project that featured multi-level patios, several stone staircases, an involved water feature, an elaborate drainage infrastructure – not to mention a switchback, severe-incline path from lake pier to terrace.
The stunning lakeside property features bluestone paving throughout, an outdoor grill counter, decorative driveway details at the home’s front entry, and lush plantings with tons of spring, summer and fall color.
We had a brilliant and experienced crew on the very involved hardscape install and a talented, creative, painstaking crew on the perennial installs.
Donald Pell - GardensA drought-tolerant perennial border of rich four-season texture and color, including Calamagrostis, Allium, Echinacea, Rudbeckia, and Arnoglossum
Whisper House Real Estate Group, L.L.CThis water feature doubled as a retaining wall. The addition of a water feature in a front yard provides a wonderful backdrop for guests coming over. At night, the illuminated water adds mystery to the house. The plants surrounding the waterfall were chosen for height and color. There is no need to water here as the spray from the waterfall keeps things lush.
Land & Water DesignA Backyard Resort with a freeform saltwater pool as the focal point, a spa provides a spot to relax. A large raised waterfall spills into the pool, appearing to flow from the koi pond above. We extended a streambed to flow from behind the outdoor kitchen, all the way to the patio, to spill into the koi pond. A Sports Court at one end of the yard with putting greens meander throughout the landscape and the water features. A curved outdoor kitchen with a large Viking grill with a warming drawer to the sink and outdoor refrigeration. A Pavilion with large roof and columns unite the landscape with the home while creating an outdoor living room with a stone fireplace along the back wall, while still allowing views of the yard beyond.
Iris Kaplow Landscapes, Inc.This Moroccan inspired Rooftop Garden in Chelsea features many outdoor rooms with pergolas, fencing, fiberglass containers, statues, and outdoor seating. This layered container garden is a plethora of different specimen plants- both flowering and evergreen, which provide for brilliant contrasting textures as well as a greater sense of depth.
FormLA Landscaping California native Aristada is a great alternative to dangerously invasive and combustible Mexican feather grass. As lovely as it is as a simple vertical accent, again, its fluidity of movement is its primary charm. Photo: Lesly Hall Photography
Rosborough Partners Inc.We are bursting with pride to have the very talented Carol Yetken host a multi garden club group walk through the impressive Baha'i Temple gardens that we manage. Attendees learned the history about the design and evolution of the landmark property's surrounding gardens and fountains since the original design was approved in 1951.

Julie Moir Messervy Design Studio (JMMDS)This terraced landscape in Vermont flows from a high perch on a contemporary home’s second-story viewing deck through a grassy play space with a fire pit terrace, past mown fields to a swimming pond with a small lake house and on through a wet meadow to a beaver pond beyond. Here, a lush perennial bed overflowing with color hugs the side of the garage. In the background are apple trees and a terraced hillside vegetable garden surrounded by a solar-powered electric fence to keep out the deer and porcupines. Birdhouses decorate the fenceposts. The perennials include Rudbeckia, Buddleia, Shasta daisies, and Amsonia.
