A Garden for Life
When the house was built, it included a palatial pool, but only minimal landscape was installed. After living in the house for a few years, the client asked Troy to add to the original design and continue it throughout the entire property. The vivacious owner wanted a putting green and chipping mats. She also requested a vegetable garden.
Troy refers to the garden as“ European” given the many elements that are American, French and English. However, he does consider the plantings to be of a traditional Southern palette, which includes boxwoods, azaleas and hydrangeas. Troy, who works all over the United States, explains that,“ I always try to find plants that do well in the specific region, while still helping me achieve the look I’ m after.”
