Laura’s plan included scrubs that provides color all year through blossoms, berries, foliage and colored stems so that there is always something to look at no matter what month. Perennials and annuals also carry the planned color theme through the garden. Laura created an outdoor room that is a world unto itself at my home. Her knowledge, time and attention is so apparent through her work! She is delightful to work with and she completed the project on time as well as in budget! I very much recommend Laura and her conscientious team. They did an excellent job! **★★★★★ — Wendy Thompson, Sept. 2017** > Outdoor Room will transform your backyard into a space that you, your family, and friends will gravitate towards. We spend much more time outside enjoying our yard! Outdoor Room knows not only what will look great, but what will thrive and require minimal maintenance. I used to waste a lot of money buying plants that would die for one reason or another. I've learned that it is better to spend money on quality that is going to last from year to year. They have done multiple projects for us over the years and we will continue to hire them. Highest recommendation to Outdoor Room!! **★★★★★ — Penn Contractors Inc, Dec. 2015** > Laura and her team at the Outdoor Room are great to work with. I know with complete confidence that when Laura is brought in on a project our work as builders will be showcased and presented in the best possible light. Laura has a unique design ascetic that is the anti cookie cutter. Sometimes it is very easy to know who did the landscape design simply be looking at it, it is all about the designer and not the property or the owners. Laura is a chameleon and her style blends easily with and accentuates the positives of the site and structures upon it. I look forward to our next interaction and so should you. **★★★★★ — bwissinger, Nov. 2015** > The Outdoor Room team revamped/repaired our landscaping and front walk. > > They were friendly and affordable. > > Most importantly, they listened to our needs and exceeded our expectations. > > Highly recommended! **★★★★★ — brongav, Nov. 2015** > Great job on Christmas wreaths. Very talented! As I settle into my new home I will look for opportunities to expand The Outdoor Room's role in my decorating! ## Selected projects - [Transitional Patio & Week-end Get-Away](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/transitional-patio-and-week-end-get-away-pj-vj~6374513) - Location: Bethlehem, PA - Photos: 20 - Description: A modern renovation for a week-end retreat from NYC ... friends and family are invited?! - [A Gentle-Woman's Estate](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-gentle-woman-s-estate-pj-vj~6374460) - Location: Center Valley, PA - Photos: 40 - [Bingen Station Classic Garden](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bingen-station-classic-garden-pj-vj~5878119) - Location: Bethlehem, PA - Photos: 18 - Description: A classic home with traditional bones and a bit of European flare. When we were first engaged with the opportunity to maintain this garden and classic landscape we were very excited. The sense of scale at this property was in good balance with the architecture of the home but the plantings had been mis-maintained and a number of hole existed in the season of color and interest.

It was the client's mission to blend several styles into the landscape but reflect classic hard-scape lines reflective of an age old European garden. While the structure of the landscape amenities is quite formal, the plantings are reminiscent of turn of the century English and Scottish garden… - [Doylestown Borough Pocket Garden](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/doylestown-borough-pocket-garden-pj-vj~5877994) - Location: Doylestown, PA - Photos: 19 - Description: A small garden project for a very formal traditional residential home that was renovated for the potential resale market with Lawyer's Row in mind.

Were they original? Are they treated with a sealer? **Q: Belle porte.oú la trouver** *(in Photo Questions)* A: I think the window is pretty nifty too! **Q: A blank Wall** *(in Native Plants)* Just a bit of a whine here. In OKC there is the typical urban spread that is eating all the prairie I once looked at in various spots. I always like to look out the car window on the way to places we go to regularly, it gave me something pleasurable to do to pass the time until we got wherever we were going. I liked the way it changed from one season to the next and to see what was blooming now or to search for some plant or figure out what different plants were. Right now a lot of native and nonnative grasses, smooth leaf sumac, annual broomweed, ragweed and solidago is (or should be) blooming along with Maximillian sunflowers, cattails, regular sunflowers, liatris, asters (mostly white) and other unknown types that I like to try to figure out while otherwise I'd just be sitting there thinking of something else. Its not particularly beautiful in the sense of what most people think of as a vacation destination but the incredible variety was a nice thing to see all the same, messy and invaded with some undesirables as it was. Wherever the land has been bought and built on, that's all been or being replaced with plants like Miscanthus grasses in a straight line, along with well placed and planned out plants like crepe myrtle or common well behaved nursery shrubs, just repeats of the same old nondescript stuff you see in most people's yards, businesses and at Home Depot along with a plot of mowed green grass. Manmade and store bought is how it looks. It struck me hard that worst of all, there is nothing to look at anymore and there won't be anything in the future, its like looking at a blank wall now. Anyway, thats how it struck me the other day, I realized once we'd come onto these developed areas there is nothing of interest to look at once you get around these fixed up places. Its neat and tidy but seems depressingly dead looking even thought they are living plants. The way it is now, it could be anywhere other than Oklahoma because anything resembling this state is gone and it now looks like Home Depot. Thanks for letting me gripe. I know its the same everywhere but this last Sunday, I really focused on the boring part of it all more so than the ecological part. A: This garden web discussion is bringing out an excellent topic and one that is emerging in the landscape profession. It is a valid argument that to strip away all of a sites best natural character, flora and fauna, simply to push progress and development along with out considering a vibrant landscape as habitat and one that ultimately yields more beauty, engages people and lowers maintenance costs does have considerable merit. The tendency has been toward over-use of the same species that are "easy" instead of culturally matched to the site and designed repetition in lieu of diversely selected plant communities that work through the seasons with unfolding display. **Q: Winter bloomers: witch hazel** *(in The Winter Garden)* We are loving Witch Hazels (Hamamelis sp.) this time of year. They add brightness and fragrance to dull winter days. They're also pretty easy to grow. Give them good drainage and moist organic soil in sun or part shade. They will reward you with winter blooms AND vibrant fall color. Many cultivars are available. Colors include red, orange, and yellows. Here in Portland, OR we're lucky to have a mild winter climate- so we have lots of cool winter blooming plants to choose from. Witch Hazel is pretty cold hardy though, and can be grown in zones 5-8. A: Hamamelis is a fantastic species with a lot of use, glad to see your write up here! Recently I began putting a list together of some note-worthy native plants with multiple seasons of interesting characteristics for the landscape. Witch Hazel is one of the top small scale, multi-stem trees on my list for it's late winter bloom, deer-tolerant foliage and bright fall color! Here on my property, it's a wooded lowland where hamamelis is right at home and abundant with an understory of Dog-tooth Violet, another spring emergent bloomer. **Q: Love the greenhouse! Is it custom?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Tracie : this Green House was a custom Project and made for the project through Hartley Botanic. The Green House was set on a foundation that we designed to fit the space and footprint including the high wall application in the back! **Q: Need help with furniture placement and landscaping ideas for our patio** *(in Design Dilemma)* My husband and I are needing advice on outdoor furniture placement and landscaping ideas for our back patio. We are possibly thinking of building a pergola over the patio in the future. Our home is french country style. Any help would be greatly appreciated. A: Working with the furniture that you will ultimately be using is a huge help for determining placement and scale, even if it is only a few key items to start! Give it some time and test the layout on your everyday use and several entertaining events. Keep the layout simple with room for overflow onto the lawn on the few occasions you have a crowd!. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-20.*
