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 .”
