Our gardens are in full bloom! Our Pro Tip for a garden that blooms all throughout the season is to plant a variety of perennials that have different bloom times. Read this blog to find out more about creating a garden that blooms all year long!

We’ve updated our website and given it a more modern vibe! Take a look around and let us know what you think.

Introducing the Allen Court project. The development of this project has been over a period of 5 years. Now it’s time for the big reveal!

Every year we get tons of requests to include crocus in our yard designs. A few autumns back, we actually planted over a 1000 of them in South Orange and Maplewood! Crocus is a genus of seasonal flowering plants in the Iris family comprising about 100 species of perennials growing from corms.

Introducing the Burroughs project. This is another one of those projects that really required patience. There were some bumps in the road that slowed us down at times but the end result really made it worth the wait!

We all love a great patio or walkway but the decisions you make about a hardscaping project will determine if it is sustainable or not. So, what exactly makes a patio or walkway sustainable? Let us break it down for you in this blog.

Even though summer and fall have gone - and with it all the colors and abundance that the warmer months have to offer - the beauty of nature continues to shine.

Bee Balm is a beautiful native flower that comes in an array of colors. They can take the cold winters in New Jersey as well as the hot summers. With the right care, they will grow up to 18inches high and spread about 2ft wide.

Sustainability has always been the main focus at chambersdesign. Sustainable business is achieved by making daily choices that aim to reduce our carbon footprint and make better use the Earth’s natural resources.

We loved how this project turned out so we asked a local photographer to document our work and she got some great shots! We wanted to share those with you guys.

This client had a backyard space that wasn't being used to it's full potential. Although the direction was unclear at first, we all agreed that keeping the basic elements that already existed in the space while enhancing their functionality was key for this project.

We hit some roadblocks with this one but the Summit project is finally complete and it turned out really nice! Check out this blog to see the final results.

Invasive plant species are a huge problem. They have overtaken giant expanses of the landscape. As they do, they erase the ability for native plants and animals to thrive, and there’s no easy solution to get rid of them. But there's still hope for our favorite natives to survive!

There's so much to learn when starting your native plant journey and all of the terminology around plants can be overwhelming. You've got natives of course, but then there's cultivars, varieties or nativars and invasive species, just to name a few.

Check out this blog to follow the progression of our Summit project and stay tuned for the next Summit project blog where we show off the final product!

Many popular garden perennials fall into the "short-lived" category, so you might be wondering whether or not you should waste time and money planting them, when you are not sure how long they'll last.

If you are a gardener or a plant geek, you've seen the categories of plants often referred to as either annuals or perennials. But what do these terms really mean? And how do these different kinds of species inform us how to use them in a landscape design?
