**★★★★★ — julssc, March 2014**

> Very creative with a gifted aesthetic sense.  He has a respect for tying his designs to physical touchpoints on the lot (for example, key trees or architectural features of your house), and he designs with satisfying geometries (arcs and axes work together and make sense).  Daniel came up with some inspired hardscaping solutions.

**★★★★★ — adamhansberger, Jan. 2013**

> “It gives me great pleasure to provide my highest recommendation for the work of Dan Stone. My company Alpine Landscape recently hired Dan to prepare multiple landscape designs for our clients. We have worked with several landscape architects and can honestly say that Dan is the best and most responsible architect we have ever worked with. Dan worked diligently at the onset to understand our clients goals, and continues to provide professional services that are infused with quality, integrity and foresight. Anyone would do well to capitalize on the great talent that Dan possesses.” - Adam Hansberger

## Community Q&A

**Q: NALP People’s Choice Award – Outstanding Water Feature** *(in Polls)*

Summer is here. The National Association of Landscape Professionals invites you to vote on your favorite water feature!  Get ideas and inspiration about water features you could have in your yard. These projects were winners of a 2016 NALP Award of Excellence.

A: I think the compact one that looks like its on a rooftop deck would be easier to maintain.

**Q: 1960 Ranch Style house with planter box.** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Okay so my husband and I bought this mild fixer upper I say mild because the house is in great condition except a couple of update remodeling projects. We have this planter box in front of our house and the brick is eroding away and I am seeking advise on what to do with it..... take it out or reface it with something please help needing help.......I am wanting to improve curb appeal and this is a really eye sore. Thank you Kim

A: I noticed that the brick is toothed or tied into the house, so you'd probably want to do some investigation and consult a mason on the best way to separate it from the house and what you'd have after you remove it.  It might make more sense to leave it and do some sort of cosmetic change.  
I also agree about looking into waterproofing inside the planter against the house, changing out the soil.  There are products like Terra-Sorb that can help keep moisture in the soil and slowly release it to the plants.  I'm sure this is a problem since it is underneath the eaves of the house.  Really helps when its tough or too expensive to get irrigation in there and you don't want to drag a hose out there all the time.  Sorry the photo is obnoxiously big

**Q: My house needs curb appeal!** *(in Design Dilemma)*

We live on a steep slope, I have always wanted to make the front of this house match the interior but am stumped as to how to give it some interest that draws people in.  Fairly wooded area but charming.

A: Sorry Classical Home Susan - I was working on the photoshop thing and kind of stepped on your toes.  I guess we had some of the same ideas

**Q: Facade Ideas Please!!** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Prefer not to change paint colour due to enormous expense. Just looking for a few cute or clever ideas to freshen up the front. Thanks in advance!

A: I know you said no painting but what about highlighting the detail, either the columns or horizontal lines in the facade.  It looks a little Tuscan to me, but I'm not an expert on colors.  I used a pale tuscan red, not too imposing.  planted a little Lavender between the pots or you could use some other plantings suitable to the area like ornamental grasses, something like Blue Oat Grass has a nice blue gray foliage that would look nice and pop a little against the existing house color and look contemporary. Sorry the picture showing  the accented banding is a little light.

**Q: We have a Beautiful Home that needs updated inside and outside!** *(in Design Dilemma)*

I would like to do a lighter paint color and maybe a dark color on the shutters?

A: I agree with removing shrubs at the garage window.  The same for near the front door.  The trees right next to the house in front of the windows just end up banging up against the house later down the road.  The home is so nice with brick, stone, nice windows and shutters, and the brick landscape border.  If you just went with low ground covers or perennial in place of the shrubs and trees that are removed it'd look refreshed and be a little lower maintenance.  If your married to shrubs, I like Green Gem Boxwood as replacements because they stay nice and low, but I'm not sure how they do in Oklahoma, so you might want to consult a quality garden center or landscape professional down there.

**Q: Need Suggestions to Improve the Curb Appeal of My Home** *(in Design Dilemma)*

I'm planning to update the curb appeal of my home this summer. The steps, porch, front door, garden bed, driveway, etc. are all looking very dated and in need of change. Everything can go except for the brick/stone on the front of the house and the bay window. The roof is brand new. The interior of my home is very cozy and I would like the front of the house to feel warm and welcoming as well. Any and all suggestions are welcome!

A: As far as the landscape, sometimes you add by subtraction.  It looks like you have an old crabapple and a newer linden.  I agree with removing the larger juniper.  The house would look a lot fresher without the badly pruned crabapple.  It's had its time, and will greatly improve the curb appeal.  Have the tree guy grind out the stump and also take care of what looks like a stump from a large shrub or multi stem tree to the right of the house. 

I think some naturalized limestone outcrop set into the slope near the driveway wrapping around to the street and a bed planted with groundcovers and alpine type perennials would be nice.  The outcrop would compliment the stone on the house and the planting bed eliminate the need to mow that slope.  Even better is to cut the slope back a bit so you'll have about 3-4 ft of flatter area that you can sod, or make a little coach walk and give some room to walk around a car or stack some snow when shoveling.  A sod strip will also catch any mulch from the planting bed and prevent it from washing out onto the drive or street.
