GardZens

Where horticultural artistry meets peaceful retreat

Project Overview

Tucked behind a tutor-style home on just over half an acre, GardZens overlooks a serene wetland nature preserve. This full-service landscape management project showcases our most creative, detailed garden work—focusing on texture, color, and seasonal interest that evolve with the year.

The clients are passionate garden enthusiasts who travel the world for inspiration and rely on our collaboration to bring fresh, innovative ideas home—especially around their tranquil koi pond. While we maintain the entire property, it’s in the garden beds where the magic truly happens.

Noteworthy Features

  • Tranquil koi pond with immersive planting zones
  • Custom seasonal plantings based on collaborative site visits
  • Diverse plant palette, including astilbe, witch hazel, and many more
  • Ongoing care: mulching, weeding, staking, pruning, and deadheading
  • Creative flexibility tailored to seasonal color and client inspiration

Client Collaboration

Each winter, we prepare a rough plan to anticipate ideas and seasonal enhancements. As spring arrives, garden clean-ups spark organic and enjoyable discussions with the clients—covering color schemes, planting palettes, and opportunities for creative transformation. Their openness to new concepts makes every interaction a true team effort.

DJF Team Collaboration

This project is a true testament to the power of teamwork. Originally developed by Jeff, the landscape has evolved over time under Adam’s ongoing care and creative guidance. Their shared passion for horticultural excellence—and their seamless collaboration with the clients—has helped GardZens thrive season after season.

A Living Masterpiece

GardZens is more than just a landscape; it’s a living, evolving gallery of thoughtful design, hands-on care, and mutual creativity. The results speak for themselves—so be sure to explore the photo gallery to witness the beauty firsthand.
