The quality of the work is excellent, far surpassing anything I have seen in our area. All work was done on schedule and within budget and we have been complimented by all the neighbors. **★★★★ — soutter, Jan. 2016** > I hired Sisson Landscapes to create my dream English cottage garden, and I couldn’t be happier. Roger Clapp designed a sunken stonewall garden with pea-gravel paths and and a herb garden, using a simple green-and-white pallette. He included large boxwoods to give the garden an instant maturity. > The central focal point is a leaded cistern, and the soft splashing of the fountain buffers the Beltway noise. > > It was a pleasure to work with Roger; his design ideas were extraordinary, and it was a wonderful collaboration. Working with Sisson’s crew was a delight. They were prompt, polite, and efficient. > > I would use them again in a heartbeat! **★★★★★ — cheersunshine, Jan. 2016** > From concept to completion of the project this Landscaper is excellent! This is truly one stop shopping and detail oriented. Roger Clapp is a gifted landscape architect who will not only carefully and thoughtfully listen to your ideas, but also bring new and exciting ideas to the table for your outdoor "room". His team is VERY professional and courteous. > The masons are EXCELLENT hands down. I have used several different masons in CT for stone work and found you get what you pay for. I have had work done less expensively and have had to remove it 4 years later because it was not laid with a proper foundation. These guys have it right and their work turned out stunning. We get compliments every day. Now I fell like I am on a vacation somewhere without ever leaving my home!!!! ## Selected projects - [Showcase - English Garden](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/showcase-english-garden-pj-vj~1515005) - Location: Arlington, VA - Photos: 5 - [Showcase - Backyard Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/showcase-backyard-retreat-pj-vj~1514971) - Location: Oakton, VA - Photos: 5 - [Landscaping Highlights](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/landscaping-highlights-pj-vj~445519) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 42 - [Masonry Elements](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/masonry-elements-pj-vj~445554) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 35 - [Garden Structures](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/garden-structures-pj-vj~445593) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Walkways & Paths](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/walkways-and-paths-pj-vj~445611) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 17 - [Water Features](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/water-features-pj-vj~445628) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 22 - [Container Design](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/container-design-pj-vj~445718) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 24 - [Design Renderings](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/design-renderings-pj-vj~445832) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Profile & Cover Photos](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/profile-and-cover-photos-pj-vj~1502597) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Potomac River Overlook](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/potomac-river-overlook-pj-vj~7802783) - Location: Bethesda, MD - Photos: 9 [See all 11 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/landscape-architects-and-landscape-designers/sisson-landscapes-pfvwus-pf~59410646) ## Community Q&A **Q: Fountain** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you please tell me who makes the fountain? A: Hi Julie- that was from Bunny Williams in NYC. I don't think they offer it anymore however :) **Q: Love the Greenery!** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you please tell me what is growing in between the stones, and what types of grasses are in front of the boxwoods and underneath the tree on the right hand side? A: Hi Taylor, The creeping groundcover is Mazus reptans. The grasses under the tree on the right is Nasella tenuissima (Mexican Feather Grass). There are two types of grasses in front of the boxwoods: Liriope variegata, and also Hakonechloa macra 'Aureola' (Japanese Forest Grass)... Happy Planting! :) **Q: Lovely! Can you tell me the stone name and/or supplier for the wall?** *(in Photo Questions)* I live in VA and would like to locate similar stone. Thank you! A: Whoops that should have read Tri State Stone **Q: Lovely! Can you tell me the type of stone and/or supplier this is?** *(in Photo Questions)* I live in Virginia and would like to locate similar stone. Thank you! A: Hey DrCauley- this shed was faced in Pennsylvania fieldstone, but we were able to get pallets called Pennsylvania 'Brown' which were selected to have a higher concentration of brown and beige tones in the pallet. The look is similar to the stone used in your other inquiry which I will respond to shortly.... **Q: Pink flowers** *(in Photo Questions)* Are these pink flowers Azalea's? A: Hi yes they are. Azalea 'Aphrodite' I believe. **Q: Would love to know the name of the pink flower.** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you give any detail on some of the plants in the photo? A: We thinned out the woodland a bit (you can see from the spacing of the trees), so I would say it's not as full shade as it would have been if we hadn't... You should see it now though, everything has grown in and it is very lush- we are starting to have to edit things... :) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-22.*
