Fine Gardening, February 2023 Issue
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'm honored to be the recipient of a 2024 Perennial Plant Association Landscape Design Award of Merit for my NC mountain garden, Rhodwood.
We are thrilled with our experience working with Jay and his team. Jay's talent and eye for beauty transformed our front yard into a stunning and unique garden. He listened carefully to our likes and dislikes and was incredibly accommodating, presenting a vision that combined our input with his expertise. We couldn’t be happier with the result. Jay is truly an artist, with plants as his medium. We highly recommend Jay to anyone looking to elevate their outdoor space. -Kaleigh & Aiki

Recently, Jay Sifford designed and implemented a new front garden for our southern home. He implemented a cheerful arrangement of diverse plants offering texture, color and blooms for high impact surrounding the entrance to our home. His crew strategically planted and carefully placed the new plantings according to Jay's designs, working cheerfully and focused on tasks. Jay's design elevated my original vision, adding small boulders around the entrance to the porch. The completed project was a successful transformation. Jay displayed incredible knowledge of plants and design arrangements adding curves as opposed to straight lines as well as many shades of green. He has an instinctive ...

Jay is an artist and a pleasure to work with. He and his team completed a huge landscaping project for me: full front and back yard. I'm completely in love with it! Jay got my vision from the start (and added so much along the way). The work was done quickly, with Jay on site and in contact every step. It came in under budget too! You cannot go wrong hiring Sifford Design. (My photos don't do it justice)

Jay and his team exceeded all of our expectations. They were courteous, professional, and did exceptional work. Jay worked closely with us to design our backyard garden and was attentive to all the details we wanted. Jay designed a stunning private retreat garden for us and our kids that we couldn't be happier with. His team worked efficiently and did fantastic work. His pricing is very fair and reasonable for the great work they do. He took the time to explain maintenance after the project was done. We will certainly have Jay and his team back again for future garden design around our home!

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...
