- [Front Yard Transformation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/front-yard-transformation-pj-vj~940645)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 12
  - Description: The bulk of this home's land was in front of the house, but it was wide open and frequently used as a pass-through, from one neighborhood to the next. We decided to capture this land, enclose it with a deer-proof fence (after much permitting) and turn it into a real garden for the Homeowner, filled to the brim with plants she loved. We built a water feature with a number of waterfalls and ponds, to provide year round interest, sound and attract all sorts of wildlife. The Homeowners spend a great…
- [Steep Rear Hillside Garden](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/steep-rear-hillside-garden-pj-vj~2420163)
  - Location: Bethesda, MD
  - Photos: 20
  - Description: London Landscapes was hired to design and install comprehensive 'French Country Gardens' throughout all parts of the remaining land, after the builder completed this new home. The rear was one sheer steep hill of grass. This hill was regraded into 4 different terraced areas, with interesting plantings throughout. A water feature with many falls was added a few years later. The plantings were selected for four seasons of interest and something in bloom almost 12 months of the year. This project r…
- [Gazebo Garden](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/gazebo-garden-pj-vj~1447675)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 11
  - Description: This back yard was large and lifeless - it had been deeded to the dog. Now the homeowners wanted a complete re-do and were determined to have a white gazebo. The placement of the gazebo drove the shapes of the patios and grass. The homeowners still wanted a large 'golf course' lawn but lots of color in the borders, throughout the seasons. It was a great pleasure to work on this project, and we continue to refine and edit it every year.
- [Whimsical Outdoor living and dining room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/whimsical-outdoor-living-and-dining-room-pj-vj~2404925)
  - Location: Bethesda, MD
  - Photos: 12
  - Description: The house was new and large, but the rear garden was very small. With several children, these homeowners wanted a real outdoor, rain-proof "room" for activities, relaxing, dining and enjoying the small yard. The existing garage wall was white washed and formed the backdrop for the new space. A Walpole pergola covered the space, and the resourceful homeowner covered the pergola with rigid plastic. In addition, she wanted to grow her own vegetables. The sunniest part of the yard was right next to…
- [Custom containers](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-containers-pj-vj~2404885)
  - Location: Chevy Chase, MD
  - Photos: 23
  - Description: For many years, I have delighted in doing custom containers, with the full range of perennials and annuals available. Each container tends to have a color theme and many different plants with varied foliage are used. These containers often need some sprucing up, throughout the summer months, and they of course, require regular watering. The key is to put your fingers in the soil, and if it is bone dry, it may be time to water. If it's moist, let it be.

## Community Q&A

**Q: What is this plant?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Is it a heliopsis?

A: Hi !  yes, it is Heliopsis 'Tuscan Sun'.  It stays quite low and blooms for a long time.

**Q: Inkberry bushes turning black?** *(in Gardening in Shade)*

I have 5 inkberry Ilex glabra planted on the west side of my house to hide the foundation. They our outside the drip line, get high shade/filtered shade from tall trees and late afternoon sun. The soil is clay mixed with topsoil. Three of the five are turning black in the center and are losing green leaves. They have only been in the ground since June 2nd. Any ideas?

A: I am a landscape designer and contractor with over 30 years of experience.  During my early years, I kept trying to work with Ilex glabra .... but it always died.  Now I will not touch it with a barge pole.  It is highly susceptible to Phytopthera, and there is nothing anyone can do it about it. To date, not a single one has ever survived, on many different sites, with different amounts of sun and always sufficient water.  Every nursery should honestly advise customers of the risk of using this evergreen.  Look for blight-resistant boxwoods instead.
