โ 
Some landscapes look their best the day they're installed.โ 
The really good ones are designed to look even better five, ten or even twenty years later. โ 
โ 
That means thinking beyond what fits today and considering what every tree, shrub and perennial will eventually become.โ 
โ 
How wide will that tree's canopy grow?โ 
Will those shrubs eventually crowd the walkway?โ 
Which plants will fill in and create layers?โ 
How will sun and shade change as trees mature?โ 
What will provide structure when other plants aren't in bloom?โ 
โ 
A newly installed landscape is really just the beginning.โ 
โ 
Thoughtful spacing, layers, plant selection, and an understanding of how a landscape will mature are what turn a collection of plants into a landscape that feels like it has always belonged there.โ

Thereโ€™s a shift happening in landscape design: less perfectly manicured, more layered, textural and a ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ต๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ bit wild. โ 
โ 
Naturalistic landscapes take their cues from the way plants grow together in nature, creating spaces that feel established, dynamic, and full of life.โ 
โ 
But naturalistic doesnโ€™t mean untamed. The best of these landscapes are incredibly intentional, with thoughtful plant combinations, layers of trees, shrubs, grasses and perennials, and plenty of interest that extends well beyond peak bloom.โ 
โ 
The result? Landscapes that move with the seasons, respond to their surroundings, and only get better as they grow in.โ 
โ 
Swipe through for a few of the reasons weโ€™re seeing more naturalistic landscapes... and why we think this approach is here to stay.โ

A night at the ballpark is even better when you get to enjoy what you helped bring to life! โ 
โ 
The JRN team recently headed out to CarMax Park to see their hard work around the site, spend some time together, and cheer on the Richmond Flying Squirrels.โ 
โ 
Thereโ€™s something special about getting to step back and enjoy a finished project as a team, especially when baseball, ballpark food, and a night with the Squirrels are part of the fun!

August's Featured Bloomer: ๐˜พ๐™ง๐™–๐™ฅ๐™š ๐™ˆ๐™ฎ๐™ง๐™ฉ๐™ก๐™š ๐ŸŒธโ 
โ 
There's a reason crape myrtles are one of the defining trees of a Virginia summer. While many trees have finished their spring show, crape myrtles are just getting started, bringing weeks of vibrant blooms, beautiful bark, and graceful structure to the landscape.โ 
โ 
From a landscape architect's perspective, it's not just about the flowers. We use crape myrtles to create focal points, soften hardscape, frame entrances, provide filtered shade over patios, and add year-round interest with their striking exfoliating bark.โ 
โ 
The key is choosing the right variety for the space. Whether you're looking for a compact accent tree or a large canopy that becomes the centerpiece of your landscape, thoughtful placement and proper sizing make all the difference.โ 
โ 
When selected and planted well, a crape myrtle isn't just a beautiful tree for August, it's an investment in your landscape for decades to come.โ 
โ 
Thinking about adding a crape myrtle to your landscape? Our team can help you select the right variety and professionally install it for years of beauty. Reach out at the link in our bio or below to get started!

Every landscape should reflect the way you actually want to live.โ 
โ 
For this homeowner, that meant trading a high-maintenance Bermuda lawn for a beautiful, low-maintenance synthetic turf lawn complete with a custom putting green. We also added a new patio to create the perfect spot to showcase a striking banana tree and bring even more character to the space.โ 
โ 
This project is also the result of a relationship that's grown over more than a decade. Since 2014, our team has helped transform this property with more than 150 plants, privacy screening, drainage improvements, decorative stone, and container palms. Creating an outdoor space that's as functional as it is beautiful. โ 
โ 
The best landscapes aren't built in a day. They evolve over time.โ

A new chapter is beginning in Chesterfield County. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ“š

We're proud to work with Oyster Point Construction on the new Bensley Elementary School, helping transform the campus with thoughtfully designed landscapes, trees, and plantings that will continue to grow alongside generations of students.

Congratulations to Chesterfield County Public Schools, Oyster Point Construction, and everyone involved in bringing this incredible project to life!
