Christie's Fine Gardening & Creative Landscapes

What if you walked into a garden and with each turn of your head you said, "Wow!" That's the response Christie's Fine Gardening & Creative Landscapes has received time after time from people in the Richmond area. Whether it's a waterfall with a pond and iris, a dry river creek with ferns and hostas, or an outdoor kitchen with cedar pergolas and fragrant viburnum, Christie's brings garden spaces to life by transforming landscapes into destinations.

Christie's begins by meeting with the customer to discuss their vision. "Often the client knows what they want when they see it. They just can't put it into words," said Christie Barry, landscape artist and co-owner of Christie's Fine Gardening. "It's so exciting to see the light in someone's face and hear the new energy in their voice when we hit on an idea that we all think will be fantastic."

Then, Christie's team of seasoned professionals, which includes Kevin Barry and Ric Erickson, create a custom plan that's designed with the actual space in mind.

The end result is truly a living work of art. "Instead of just slapping something in the make a dollar, we really view garden design and installation as a craft," explained Kevin Barry, co-owner and company field manager.

Whether you're looking for a great investment for your home, a maintenance package to help enjoy your garden or you simply want to smell the roses, Christie's Fine Gardening & Creative Landscapes may be a great place to start.
