She has always been an absolute pleasure to work with. Her designs and her knowledge and passion turn ordinary yards into beautiful retreats, and we relish the opportunity to help her clients any way we can. Kathryn's attention to detail is what makes her clients wish list and her design meld so perfectly. We proudly recommend her and her team. **★★★★★ — leggmom, Sept. 2016** > Kathryn was a joy to work with. She is professional, thorough, hardworking and a good communicator. We felt very comfortable sharing our ideas and feelings as if she was taking them to heart. She knows her plants! Never once did I feel that she didn't have our best interests at heart. I would use her services again tomorrow if needed. We love our new backyard thanks to her. **★★★★★ — Clarke Camper, July 2016** > Kathryn Everett is a landscape designer who brings vision, professionalism, execution, good humor and beauty to her projects. She was an absolute delight to work with and clearly loves what she does. She worked with us on our 100+ year old house, which had an historic garden that had seen better days, to restore the original design, but also to update it in ways that respected the history but made it work for our family and the natural landscape. She took our high level preferences and designed exquisite gardens, using native plants and taking advantage of tax credit programs, to create beautiful and usable spaces. She totally respects cost considerations and manages all contractors and permitting. We really can't overstate how much we have enjoyed working with Everert Garden Designs!!! **★★★★★ — Landscape Projects, Inc., June 2016** > Kathryn is an outstanding designer and a delight to work with. Whether the project is small or substantial, she has thought through every aspect of the design. From the smallest detail in a garden to the largest aspect of it, her plans are carefully drawn and easy to understand and execute. Her standards for plant selection, like ours, are the highest, so that the finished product will meet or exceed the clients’ expectations. We look forward to continuing to partner with her in installing her projects. **★★★★★ — Cathy Toren, April 2016** > Kathryn is a talented garden designer and we have very much enjoyed working with her so far. Her professionalism, knowledge and wonderful demeanor sets her apart from other landscape companies with whom we have worked. I highly recommend her for projects big and small! ## Selected projects - [Elegant Backyard Escape](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/elegant-backyard-escape-pj-vj~1850366) - Location: Alexandria, VA - Photos: 11 - Description: This lovely home and backyard was renovated to fit the needs of active family of five so they could entertain all their friends and family. The pool existed and was surrounded by lovely mature flowering trees, but access was limited, and there was no room to lounge and entertain poolside. A new set of stairs coming off the lawn was cut into the side and centered on the pool house. A large deciduous magnolia was moved and a wall cut to build out the deck area to lounge by the pool. To expand the… - [Gravel pleasure garden](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/gravel-pleasure-garden-pj-vj~1631953) - Location: Chevy Chase, MD - Photos: 13 - Description: The backbone of the garden was a century old brick wall lined with evergreen holly trees. The wall's central arch became the backdrop of a new water feature which aligns with the main axis of the house and is a strong focal point visible from the rear interior windows. The garden was divided into thirds to accommodate a French intensive vegetable garden, a central entertaining space for dining, entertaining, and fish keeping, and a space for the kids trampoline. Strong geometric lines were creat… - [Peaceful Spaces to relax and entertain](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/peaceful-spaces-to-relax-and-entertain-pj-vj~2934814) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - Description: A client who loved to relax with family and entertain large groups needed to create more privacy and usable space out of her garden. Evergreens were used for screening in front of a new picket fence. A double arch and gate frame by matching dogwoods creates a focal point in the garden and visual separation from the parking pad. A retractable awning was added for sun protection, and antique mirrors were installed on a brick wall to reflect and enlarge the garden. The client's favorite color is te… - [Oasis in the city](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/oasis-in-the-city-pj-vj~2934713) - Location: Chevy Chase Village, MD - Photos: 6 - Description: After completing a home renovation, these clients were ready to tackle their backyard. Of primary importance was creating a link between their off-street parking area and their back entrance. To create a sense of arrival and presence from the street, stone columns frame a chartreuse door with custom iron detailing echoing the pattern of the window mullions from the front of the house. A iron railing, special sconces, and a custom fence stained off black further detail and frame the garden. To en… - [Outdoor Space For Entertaining](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/outdoor-space-for-entertaining-pj-vj~2156162) - Location: Washington, DC - Photos: 11 - Description: A small, pie shaped backyard was turned into five separate rooms on different levels for a client who loved her garden and loved to host large parties in it. Mindful of the views outside the new kitchen addition, a custom brick fountain was built to anchor the center patio and provide a focal view from all vantage points. A lead bowl was commissioned to provide a continuous sheet of water and the surrounding wall provides additional seating. A hedge of hornbeams was planted in front of the fence… - [Verdant Backyard](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/verdant-backyard-pj-vj~2150172) - Location: Washington, DC - Photos: 8 - Description: The entire backyard of this home was dug out and lowered to give this home a functional back yard for kids and entertaining. Working with the architect, a ½ pergola was designed to anchor the shed and patio at the back of the yard and break up the view of the wall. The stone planters were built to reinforce the upper walls and were abundantly filled with grasses, perennials and evergreens to give movement and ornamentation to the yard and maximize the lawn space for the kids. Views were borrowed… - [Historic Garden Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/historic-garden-renovation-pj-vj~1850257) - Location: Chevy Chase, MD - Photos: 7 - [Grace and charm in detail](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/grace-and-charm-in-detail-pj-vj~1631956) - Location: Chevy Chase, MD - Photos: 12 - Description: This garden had natural charm that only needed to be enhanced, with the historic patina maintained. Executed in many stages, it’s an example of a true client/designer partnership that extends beyond garden design to outdoor styling with furniture and accessories. Elegant in its simplicity and attention to detail, the garden features custom iron work, rebuilt paths and walkways using aged stone and brick augmented with new material, custom tromp d’oile trellis work, and a restored pond featuring… - [Creating elegant green space](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/creating-elegant-green-space-pj-vj~1631921) - Location: Washington, DC - Photos: 9 - Description: The design goal with this renovation was to create a more welcoming but elegant approach to this gracious home, while establishing more privacy from the busy street below. Another key goal was to capture more lawn and entertaining space for the family in a back yard that was deeply sloped. A custom fence was added to provide some screening with a graceful reveal of the home. A new walk was built with a seating area featuring an antique bench as the focal point framed by plantings between the tre… - [Spa like retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/spa-like-retreat-pj-vj~1631917) - Location: Chevy Chase, MD - Photos: 6 - Description: A private, backyard oasis was designed around an existing in-ground hot tub to maximize entertaining space. Elements include a custom fence and bluestone patio, columnar hornbeams that will be trimmed into a rectangular hedge, and three custom water features to offset the hot tub and define a seating area, creating a spa-like atmosphere. A white picket fence and arbor extends the line of the house and frames the side garden, while hollies screen the trampoline. The path is enclosed by evergreen… - [Romantic front garden](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/romantic-front-garden-pj-vj~1631939) - Location: Washington, DC - Photos: 6 - Description: This small front yard represents a bridge of client interests: a husband who was interested in unusual conifers, and a wife who wanted a romantic, English style garden filled with fragrant flowers and an herb garden. The existing walk remained but was framed with billowing Garden Pinks. A hedge of boxwoods inter planted with hydrangeas borders the fence, with a miscanthus grass marking the entrance. Oncoming cars are blocked by evergreen trees faced with lilacs and daylilies. Roses, peonies, and… - [Oceanside garden](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/oceanside-garden-pj-vj~1631911) - Location: Virginia Beach, VA - Photos: 7 - Description: A grand home on the coastline in Virginia Beach boasted two-story wrap around covered porches that were central to the family’s entertaining lifestyle. Unfortunately, there was not a strong focal point looking out, rather a hodge-podge of plantings that visually did not register from the house. To give the garden a strong shape and offset the dominance of the driveway, the bed lines were changed to suggest an intended circle, and a large, custom curved ½ pergola was added to give the garden visu… - [Outdoor Decor](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/outdoor-decor-pj-vj~2156157) - Location: Chevy Chase, MD - Photos: 6 [See all 13 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/landscape-architects-and-landscape-designers/everett-garden-designs-pfvwus-pf~1201465872) ## Ideabooks - [Stone Columns](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/66560504/list/stone-columns) — 7 ideas - [Walls](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/66560497/list/walls) — 2 ideas - [Pergolas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/66560487/list/pergolas) — 34 ideas - [Hardscape](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/66560469/list/hardscape) — 13 ideas - [Gates](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/66560443/list/gates) — 17 ideas - [Iron Railings](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/66560440/list/iron-railings) — 7 ideas - [Wood - Decking, Fence, Structures](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/66560420/list/wood-decking-fence-structures) — 22 ideas - [Structures](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/66560355/list/structures) — 6 ideas [See all 8 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/everettconroylandisgardendesign) ## Community Q&A **Q: Tree to the left** *(in Photo Questions)* What is the name of the tree on the left which has a smooth trunk? thx A: It's a Crape Myrtle. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
