The arch form can seen in the cobblestones that outline the adjacent lawn panel as well as at the intersections of pathways. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584eb10e20099e021bb5f25e/1747333940346-73SSJGD9WGS85POI0S99/Photo+May+15+2025%2C+8+33+54+AM.jpg Garden Gallery - historic renovation | parterre garden A small parterre was designed for the front entry area to provide a formal yet soft framework that pairs well with other shrubs and perennials of the garden. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584eb10e20099e021bb5f25e/1747333893179-E4772YYYGDX66DIXPQJR/Photo+May+15+2025%2C+8+23+23+AM.jpg Garden Gallery - historic renovation | entry garden Shippey Landscape Architecture was commissioned to design a garden to accompany the renovation of this historic home in Cleveland, Tennessee. The front entry garden serves as a welcoming and transitional space for the front of the residence. This historic renovation project was a collaboration with Bryan Owens of ABODE. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584eb10e20099e021bb5f25e/1747333988120-M6DLN8BTBLXDXGURWXQP/Photo+May+15+2025%2C+8+34+33+AM.jpg Garden Gallery - historic renovation | path materials The cobblestones for the roundabout path contrast nicely with the clay brick pavers chosen by the client. The brick seen here was selected to match the brick on the front porch. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584eb10e20099e021bb5f25e/1747334038113-J88IP89DKFW71S0UK4H7/Photo+May+15+2025%2C+8+15+39+AM.jpg Garden Gallery - historic renovation | exit to lawn The cobblestones and the rectilinear form of the cut stone slabs reflect the historical nature of the home while also acknowledging the modernization of the home through its renovation work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584eb10e20099e021bb5f25e/1747333978636-FSCCE11C3UX0Z2Q4GHKY/Photo+May+15+2025%2C+8+49+24+AM.jpg Garden Gallery - historic renovation | perennials Shippey Landscape Architecture incorporated numerous species of perennials into the planting plan for this historic garden. The client is an avid gardener and wished to have a wide variety of plant species in the garden. The client is working to install many of the plants through their own labor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584eb10e20099e021bb5f25e/1747402841520-EX3S4195X198VLU92MYX/Photo%2BMay%2B15%2B2025%252C%2B8%2B47%2B41%2BAM.jpg Garden Gallery - historic renovation | roundabout pathway A roundabout pathway (as seen here from the entry off the adjacent street) was designed for three primary reasons: 1. to mirror the arch on the façade of the house over the front porch, 2. to allow the central path to be on center with the front stairs to the porch rather than on center with the front door (the location of the front door is original to the house and is off-center of the front stairs), and 3. to provide a decision-making and gathering point for people visiting the home and garden. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584eb10e20099e021bb5f25e/1747333925988-QLNPY9RDAC6JUMLUQQI1/Photo+May+15+2025%2C+8+31+11+AM.jpg Garden Gallery - historic renovation | smooth hydrangeas Smooth hydrangeas were selected to help soften the edge of the parterre and the white flowers of the hydrangeas will complement the white to creamy shades of the house. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584eb10e20099e021bb5f25e/1747333950756-6W6H0O4GQMHMPMG5J3AS/Photo+May+15+2025%2C+8+20+35+AM.jpg Garden Gallery - historic renovation | smooth witherod Smooth Witherod is a native viburnum that was chosen for its flowers, fall color, and height that will help scale this tall, blank wall on the detached carriage house. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584eb10e20099e021bb5f25e/1747334000339-MEE4XZD7Q868PJHPKR7E/Photo+May+15+2025%2C+8+28+28+AM.jpg Garden Gallery - historic renovation | bigleaf hydrangeas Bigleaf Hydrangeas were planted alongside this pathway to the side of the front porch for their classic charm and elegance and to provide color to this shady portion of the garden. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584eb10e20099e021bb5f25e/1747334016745-6YS977UZVAXPMGRXXP07/Photo+May+15+2025%2C+8+18+38+AM.jpg Garden Gallery - historic renovation | auto court The retaining wall seen here was built to account for a change in grade that was original to the property. A short set of stairs were built to transition from the auto court to the lawn panel and pea gravel path which leads to the front door. The auto court is paved with pea gravel and has a cobblestone apron encompassing it to help retain the pea gravel. There are also cobblestone curbs in place to help guide vehicles into and out of the auto court. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584eb10e20099e021bb5f25e/1747334316165-H83T1DJ8JZACIBDP98I8/Photo+May+15+2025%2C+8+36+28+AM+copy.jpg Garden Gallery - historic renovation | pea gravel path Pea gravel was chosen as the material for this path to create a pleasant sensory experience through the crunch of the gravel underfoot. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584eb10e20099e021bb5f25e/1747400867643-XBQQ8W1SWMHPK42M8LWA/22-10-Conceptual%2BPlan%2Bcopy.jpg Garden Gallery - historic renovation | schematic plan This is the original schematic plan drawn for the residence by Shippey Landscape Architecture.

As the client is originally from Chicago, the concept was to recreate the feel of the Lurie Garden. This historic renovation project was a collaboration with Marcus DiPietro Architect and Hudson Builders.

An existing maple tree from the front yard was also removed in order to prevent it from becoming overgrown for the space and to allow more daylight to reach new plantings. The new plantings attract pollinators as well as provide seasonal interest. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584eb10e20099e021bb5f25e/1688051681850-29SG3DGFFFRAAETPN42P/Perspective+Sketch-Option-2.jpg Garden (Copy) - nashville residence | front yard sketch (Copy) This sketch shows the central, square, gravel path in the front yard with proposed plantings enclosing the space. A minimalistic yet tasteful urn was placed in the middle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584eb10e20099e021bb5f25e/1564164361401-RA01G6Y9NEXCVYVZMNWB/Photo+Apr+30%2C+11+28+27+AM.jpg Garden (Copy) - dry valley residence (Copy) For this private residence, Shippey Landscape Architecture designed a planting plan that enhanced the curb appeal of the home while also giving the homeowner a cozy landscape with year-round interest. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584eb10e20099e021bb5f25e/1564164444200-BOJYR4RGUFWWWCBFX8EP/Photo+Apr+30%2C+11+12+35+AM.jpg Garden (Copy) - Dry Valley Residence | Detail (Copy) Smaller-scale plants were located directly adjacent to the patio to add a greater level of detail for the seating area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584eb10e20099e021bb5f25e/1598232078175-PRJG7Y309RLX551UPXZP/Photo+Apr+30%2C+11+10+27+AM.jpg Garden (Copy) - Dry Valley Residence | Native grasses (Copy) Muhly Grass was planted beside the patio to provide interest during the autumn with its pink inflorescence and to provide textual variety to the site’s plantings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584eb10e20099e021bb5f25e/1598113449445-R2XO5MZDU9BF4YBJBP2O/Photo+Aug+21%2C+10+43+19+PM.jpg Garden (Copy) - Blue Springs Residence (Copy) The homeowner for this project approached Shippey Landscape Architecture to solve erosion control issues along both sides of their existing driveway. Dry creek beds were integrated into the design to reinforce and manage existing channelized flows of stormwater. ‘Winter King’ Hawthorns were planted to bring additional seasonal interest to the project. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584eb10e20099e021bb5f25e/1598113455469-92HFXFACVY41R75647VQ/Photo+Aug+21%2C+10+43+20+PM.jpg Garden (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584eb10e20099e021bb5f25e/1598113451416-VUYI7NITJA7UDANEUTMA/Photo+Aug+21%2C+10+43+20+PM+%281%29.jpg Garden (Copy) - Blue Springs Residence | stabilizing plantings (Copy) Native grasses and perennials were utilized to stabilize the slopes directly adjacent to the driveway. Grasses—such as the Little Bluestem seen in the foreground of the bottom photo—work to prevent erosion through their extensive root systems. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584eb10e20099e021bb5f25e/1491309874458-ZKRFIJ56DW8QXZ0UJAR0/Photo+Jan+10%2C+11+57+00+AM.jpg Garden (Copy) - Privacy Hedge Project | Before (Copy) The client for this private residence desired to screen the building seen in this image to create more privacy and to block out the bright lights of the building at night. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584eb10e20099e021bb5f25e/1491309899091-X8NWNGCDOGW9UMHNQNB9/Photo+Apr+03%2C+7+02+36+PM.jpg Garden (Copy) - Privacy Hedge Project | After (Copy) The client wanted to create a tree-form hedge to provide the needed privacy screening and to give the backyard a distinct formal look. Through collaboration with the client and careful specimen selection, Foster Hollies were chosen as the best plant for the job. Over time, the hollies will grow together to form a continuous, evergreen hedge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584eb10e20099e021bb5f25e/1541707819223-DHJQBOZL09E3QBVSOT72/Photo+Nov+06%2C+9+25+12+AM.jpg Garden (Copy) - Fire Pit Design | Before (Copy) The client desired to create a fire pit and patio space in their steeply sloped, wooded backyard. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584eb10e20099e021bb5f25e/1598233443040-ZCXISQU0542O4CLIY9S1/Fire+Pit+Plan.jpg Garden (Copy) - Fire Pit Design | Plan (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584eb10e20099e021bb5f25e/1598134956123-6AZTYE2HVZL1HGIS6WST/Photo+Dec+04%2C+4+05+03+PM.jpg Garden (Copy) - Fire Pit Design | After (Copy) This fire pit area includes: a native stone fire pit, stone dust patio, stone retaining wall, cobble edging stone, and woodland plantings. There is also a shallow swale directly behind the wall that directs stormwater away from the fire pit area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584eb10e20099e021bb5f25e/1541708097364-Z3PA64IU7A0ANEMIV7NT/Photo+Dec+04%2C+4+04+01+PM.jpg Garden (Copy) - Fire Pit Design | Detail (Copy) The client originally wanted to use gravel for the patio in order to keep costs low. However, it was recommended that stone dust be used instead. The stone dust served as an even more cost-effective, yet attractive alternative that met the desired outcome of the client. Also, stone dust is a more suitable material for the placement of patio furniture and for ease of walking. The cobbles were set slightly above the grade of the patio to prevent erosion and drifting of the stone dust. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584eb10e20099e021bb5f25e/1496670982074-AFK1AEEU6G8VRKH2G1Q2/Photo+May+08%2C+5+12+45+PM.jpg Garden (Copy) - Residential Entry Landscape | Before (Copy) The homeowner for this project wanted to create a more welcoming entry for their home. The location receives a substantial amount of hot, afternoon sun and the soil was compacted and rocky. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584eb10e20099e021bb5f25e/1496670995521-IITCQPVD5LE9DE5ZJDUT/Photo+Jun+03%2C+11+31+37+AM.jpg Garden (Copy) - Residential Entry Landscape | After (Copy) The improved landscape for this entryway includes: a low stone retaining wall, groundcover roses, a holly hedge, and perennials. The materials that were chosen make for a low-maintenance yet beautiful first impression for the residence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584eb10e20099e021bb5f25e/1747333893179-E4772YYYGDX66DIXPQJR/Photo+May+15+2025%2C+8+23+23+AM.jpg Garden (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584eb10e20099e021bb5f25e/1747333912337-D9R16A2OE4W636HVB1YG/Photo+May+15+2025%2C+8+14+19+AM.jpg Garden (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584eb10e20099e021bb5f25e/1747333925988-QLNPY9RDAC6JUMLUQQI1/Photo+May+15+2025%2C+8+31+11+AM.jpg Garden (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584eb10e20099e021bb5f25e/1747333940346-73SSJGD9WGS85POI0S99/Photo+May+15+2025%2C+8+33+54+AM.jpg Garden (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584eb10e20099e021bb5f25e/1747333950756-6W6H0O4GQMHMPMG5J3AS/Photo+May+15+2025%2C+8+20+35+AM.jpg Garden (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584eb10e20099e021bb5f25e/1749408651761-533RVA9NPFY964YB616J/Photo%2BMay%2B15%2B2025%252C%2B8%2B48%2B22%2BAM.jpg Garden (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584eb10e20099e021bb5f25e/1747333978636-FSCCE11C3UX0Z2Q4GHKY/Photo+May+15+2025%2C+8+49+24+AM.jpg Garden (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584eb10e20099e021bb5f25e/1747334000339-MEE4XZD7Q868PJHPKR7E/Photo+May+15+2025%2C+8+28+28+AM.jpg Garden (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584eb10e20099e021bb5f25e/1747333988120-M6DLN8BTBLXDXGURWXQP/Photo+May+15+2025%2C+8+34+33+AM.jpg Garden (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584eb10e20099e021bb5f25e/1747334016745-6YS977UZVAXPMGRXXP07/Photo+May+15+2025%2C+8+18+38+AM.jpg Garden (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584eb10e20099e021bb5f25e/1747334316165-H83T1DJ8JZACIBDP98I8/Photo+May+15+2025%2C+8+36+28+AM+copy.jpg Garden (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584eb10e20099e021bb5f25e/1747334038113-J88IP89DKFW71S0UK4H7/Photo+May+15+2025%2C+8+15+39+AM.jpg Garden (Copy) https://shippeyla.com/commercial-copy daily 0.75 2025-05-19
