'Magical' might be the best way to describe landscape designer Jay Sifford...

Fine Gardening, February 2023 Issue

A transformative garden is so much more than a decorated yard.

It is a cohesive space that blends seamlessly with the architecture of the home. It tells the unique story of the land and of those who live there. It contains a spark of magic that beckons people to connect to it, explore and experience it. Such a space is authentic in its artistry by being so much more than the sum of its parts. It is a serene, nurturing place for life to happen. Building these gardens is our craft and our passion.

PPA Award Recipient Graphic


I'm honored to be the recipient of a 2024 Perennial Plant Association Landscape Design Award of Merit for my NC mountain garden, Rhodwood.

Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous. We built our modern style home 7 years ago and were ready for a refresh of our small front yard. Wow. We didn't realize what a blank canvas we had been living with until Jay waved his magic wand. His vision, honesty, and willingness to consider all of our needs was truly authentic. His crew was amazing as well. They were hard working, respectful of our property, and always left the space tidy at the end of the day. Jay is well versed in horticuture and considers all the essential elements in his creations; the architecture of the home, the sunlight, the maintenance requirements, and the overall cohesiveness of the space. I can attest that we aren't the only on...
