My favorite thing about Landcaping / Designing / Outdoors:

Solving the challenges for each Project.  Every site has a story.  I liken it to solving a puzzle.  When all the pieces are put together it’s gratifying to know I made a positive impact on the site.

My Inspiration:

Landscape Architecture was in my blood.  My father was an L.A. for 40 years.  I started working on a tree farm and never looked back. 

Who taught me my most valuable lesson and what it was?

Coach Vince Dooley – “Be the Best You Can Be”.  That has stuck with me my entire career.

My ideal outdoor space:

Poolside with a warm full color Bluestone Deck.  I’d put in limestone seatwalls with a rectngular fire pit.  Natural landscape on the edges that backs up to the woods with a natural waterfeature.  Don’t forget the built in hot tub. 

What inspires me:

My Daughter inspires me to learn as much as I can and make the most of each day. 

My favorite landscape style:

Sustainable sites.  An example would be a raingarden, short grasses and a few wildflowers next to a manicured fescue.

Client Reviews

John McLenon certainly is an asset to your company.  He was so helpful, polite and very nice.  I would recommend him in a heartbeat!

To all who had a part in my yardwork!  Thanks so much for making my front yard so beautiful.  It was really needing a renovation.  Your time and effort are greatly appreciated.  I will enjoy looking out my window and seeing a fresh look.  All I can say is “job well done!”

I wanted to extend a special thanks to the Rosehill Garden team mates for a job well done.  Our yard looks absolutely perfect.

Your landscape Architect, Amanda White is not only very talented but is also very customer oriented.  We are completely satisfied with her finished work product as well as her “get it done” attitude.  Amanda was very focused and efficient in her presentation and handling of the project.  Additionally, the ease of doing business with her was unbelievable;  she always made herself available.

The actual work crew should also be recognized for an outstanding job.  They were very courtious, worked hard and finished the job on-time and left everything in immaculate order.

We wish you all a wonderful holliday season and thanks again for going above and beyond.

I am very pleased to work with Mr. McLennon.  I was also very impressed with the men who worked on my yard.  They were hard workers and very courteous.  Thank You.

Will and team – the landscaping and the trees looks terrific; I am totally impressed with everything you guys did.

Also, thanks for cleaning up so well and taking the dead tree.

Thank you, Jim. Everything is coming along quite nicely.  We are already enjoying the beautiful new look of plant life around our building. We have had a very long construction cycle on the exterior of the branch so the landscaping phase has been fun and refreshing for everyone!

Thanks again,

Glad you and your team are handling all my green projects.  It has a great design and natural feel.  It is very cool.  My customers are blown away.  Good job.  Incredible.

The Smith household wants to thank you for you capable employees who finalized our wishes at our home.  It started with your knowledgeable landscape designer Amanda White who helpted us formalize needed yard projects, and then ended with a great 3 person yard crew under Allison Harrison with Amanda making sure our wants were the result.
Your company over the years has helped us with plantings and stonework and we appreciate your expertise and dependability.

My yard is looking amazing!!!  You are awesome.  I am loving it.  Can’t wait to see the rest.  And the fountains!!!  Thank you!  One happy customer!!!
