Along a creek that feeds the Potomac River in McLean, a stone mill house is situated along a winding creek on acres of rolling land. Over the course of 5 years, we designed and built gardens throughout the property to create a hidden farmette with a chicken palace, dahlia trial gardens, tennis court, cottages, barn, pool, picnic spots, reading corners, market productive produce beds, orchard, stone paths, pea gravel driveways, lawn steps, circular steps, fountain gardens, a meditation garden, a spa garden and masonry terraces set among trees and fountains, stone walls and stone seating walls. Going for a visit is like stepping over the Atlantic and landing in the most beautiful farmette in France.
