—Courtenay, Client Feb. 2020
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.
I found Jay through houzz and trusted the reviews...he did not disappoint. My experience was excellent. From the planning to the execution on time, everything was fantastic. I would highly recommend Jay to anyone looking for first class, artistic landscape. I did my entire lake front yard!

Working with Jay Sifford on our garden design was such a delight. I had seen his work at a friend's house and knew instantly that his creative, natural design esthetic was exactly what I envisioned for our home. Jay was responsive, professional, and personable from the first contact. Although his busy client base kept him from starting right away, he was well worth the wait. He gently convinced me the right areas to pay attention on our property, and I'm so glad he did. I was also very impressed with his crew. They worked from sun-up until sundown, paid close attention to detail, and did thoughtful, unexpected touches as they wrapped up (spreading leftover mulch on other beds, restacking som...

I met with three garden designers. We were referred to Jay from a friend and from our initial meeting I knew Jay had the experience and vision to not only execute our project beautifully but also deal with the drainage challenge and other minor issues on our 1 acre lot.

Jay’s design And selection of plants were tailored to our wish list but with and eye for what would thrive in our garden. While we are thrilled to be surrounded by some of our favorite plants Jay surprised us with some unexpected beau...

My husband and I built a new home on a lot in a charming small town in NC. When we purchased the property the perimeter of the one acre lot had overgrown shrubbery that had been overtaken with predatory vines. The shape of the lot also created challenges as it was deep and somewhat askew. From the beginning Jay had a vision for how to transform the entire yard into a unique, tiered garden that would encourage guests to want to explore its depths. He was focused on how to blend the landscaping in order to complement the home. He encouraged our input so that the garden would reflect our tastes. Jay communicated well with us in terms of the costs of the project and there were no surprise...

Jay and his team were great. We were very happy with Jay's design ideas. We primarily were interested in Jay to help with water issues. He addressed them and made our backyard beautiful and inviting in the process. His crew worked very hard, demonstrating their expertise in all things landscaping along the way. We certainly would recommend him.
