It was a complex site with topographi-
cal challenges, drainage issues and
other existing conditions, so collabora-
tion was key. Laurie says Providence
Landscape Group, which worked on
the installation, was wonderful and
exactly what was needed on a project
like this. Cyndee agrees: “Providence
Landscape Group has been our part-
ner for more than 10 years. They are
so generous to us. In truth, we really
couldn’t do what we do every day in
the garden without their help.”
