The Barns of Rose Hill

Jen Creany — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 01:56:37 +0000

In September of 2011, we donated design time and labor to install plant beds at the brand new Barns of Rose Hill (a community arts and event center) in Berryville, VA. This beautiful building used to be a deteriorating old dairy barn in the middle of town. We were so happy to be a part of this incredible community effort!

CHRISTMAS GIFT IDEA! Now and through the winter is a great time to plant deciduous trees – as long as the ground is not covered in snow! We have a variety of local growers that we hand select our trees from. You can be assured that we are installing a healthy, fresh dug tree specially chosen for your unique site. What is on your wish list? Dogwood, Maple, Cherry, Elm, Redbud, etc….

We designed the planting, walkways, and driveway layout for this home in Purcellville during the winter months. Work commenced in the spring – the after shot was taken later in the summer.

Bradford Pear = Bad idea

Earthworks — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 13:50:03 +0000

This is typical of all Bradford Pears. A severe thunderstorm or a heavy snowfall will cause a major branch to break off or cause the tree to fall over. The Bradford Pear is a fast grower, which means it has weak wood. The tree is also heavily branched and has a full canopy. When a windy storm or heavy snow hits the branches, the tree or its branches will snap off. If you insist on planting one of these, consider thinning the branching or planting it away from buildings or cars.
