It Takes a Professional
A well-designed landscape is shaped from a complex assortment of elements. The professional landscape designer works continually to know and understand these elements, through education, seminars, and networking, to better use them in the landscape.
A designer’s familiarity with these elements, provides the ability to pull them together to produce a design that is both functional and beautiful, and meets the needs and goals of the client.
Featured Member
Our featured designer is not one, but two designers, Carrie Maher and Mark Greenwald, of Maher & Greenwald Fine Gardens, Inc.
Both longtime members of APLDCT, Mark and Carrie are designers of private residences, public gardens and commercial properties throughout the New York metropolitan area, Westchester Counties and the Hudson Valley in New York, and Fairfield County in Connecticut.

…for summer is a time of exuberance. Perennial gardens burst with color and hum with activity as birds and insects busily go about their business. Grasses explode with energy as they send seed heads skyward and dance in the soft, warm, breezes. It’s also a time to reflect on the busyness of spring and the preparations and planning that went into early season projects.
Time to Reconnect with Life
Once again, June has arrived, seemingly well ahead of schedule. And with it comes that sweet taste of summer. A time for farmer’s markets, garden tours, outdoor concerts, and backyard gatherings. Time to reconnect with life. You know, something other than work…
