MAILBOX GARDEN 💌📬🌸
The curvature of this driveway creates blind spots and the corner of the landscape was often run over by delivery trucks. It also left little room for staging trash cans for pick up.
GJLD construted an irregular flagstone landing, demarcated by boulders on either side, to create a designated home for the trash cans. It also creates easy access the mailbox, without having to step though the garden.
Lifting the grade around the landing and curb inhibited stormwater runoff from poolinng in this former low spot. Deer-proof, low maintenance plantings create an attractive understory that frames the landing.
This is part three of our #2 Best Project of 2025! More details on this design are on our blog and previous posts 🌿
Part two - Willow Wood Retreat 🍃
Jay describes how strategic planting can act as a focal point in an awkwardly shaped property, and connect perimeter habitats with safe zones of cover.
The woodland area offers a naturalistic area where children can play imaginatively on the trail, rest on the stump benches, and be immersed in the native bird habitat.

The GJLD Team checked in on the “Serenity and Fragrance Gardens” in South Salem, New York one year after installation and it is living up to its name! 🌿
After a house expansion, the client needed a garden design that would integrate the new landscape and support the adjacent wetland.
This design played with a variety of textures and shades of green with the main goal of creating a living tapestry of grasses, shrubs, and perennials like Aquilegia canadensis (Red Columbine). All of which are weaved together by ground covers like sedum ternatum and tirella cordifolia, to establish harmony throughout the gardens.
Pre-existing boulders embellish the gardens and look bold against this beautiful contemporary home.
