About
Troy Rhone Garden Design works to create gardens that clients love to come home to.
With 20 + years of experience and a diverse portfolio of projects across the United States, our team approaches each client’s project with care from the beginning of the design process through implementation and beyond. We spend time learning each client’s personality and lifestyle before using our expertise and creativity to develop a garden individually-suited to how they live.
Clients call us because they desire a garden that feels special to them, but they are at a loss for how to create it.
We start each design by identifying a client’s needs and dreams as well as the opportunities and challenges unique to their site.
Our first priority is solving existing problems in the garden and thoughtfully designing to prevent future issues before we dive into the aesthetics of the garden. From there, we let ourselves dream in large, unconventional ways to create one-of-a-kind spaces that are meaningful to our clients.

With a love for traditional design, Troy’s gardens suit elegant homes in any part of the world.
