Salamander Designs

 
 

Salamander Designs specializes in designing landscapes that are organic, lower maintenance, beautiful year’round, waterwise (from rain gardens to dry gardens to ecoroofs), and which incorporate native and edible plants.  JJ Sweeney, owner and lead Designer, takes pride in listening to each Client, helping them determine their needs and desires, and then helping them bring their vision and dreams to fruition.  JJ also loves to teach, whether coaching Clients, lecturing for various organizations, or teaching workshops on numerous gardening topics.

 
JJ says:

I have been gone for 3 months, in Argentina, Chile, and Peru. I have had an amazing experience, but am looking forward to coming home.  It is almost time for the gardening season to begin - the Hellebores should be going strong and the early bulbs should be making an appearance.  I love the excitement of looking for new shoots every day.  If you have any questions or would like to schedule a consultation, please feel free to email me using the link at the bottom of most pages.  Thank you for visiting!

  3. 3. to help create privacy, tranquility and security, a place to play, share and socialize, or a place to grow food

  4. 4. to create habitat for birds, bees, butterflies, ladybugs, or whatever you might want to attract!

  5. 5. to help you conserve water, reduce pollutants, produce oxygen, reduce noise levels, prevent erosion

  6. 6. to satisfy your aesthetic, functional, budgetary, time, energy, and spiritual needs
