Living With the Landscape

A conversation with our landscape architect on designing gardens that grow more beautiful every year.

Anne Delacroix Landscape Architect February 18, 2026

A garden, unlike a building, is never finished. It has a direction — a slow intention — but its final form belongs to the seasons.

At Whitestone Crossing we designed the landscape to mature in three distinct acts.

Act one: structure

In the first five years the oak canopy, the stone walls, and the evergreen framework establish a sense of place. Residents move into a young landscape that already feels settled.

Act two: layering

By year ten the perennial understory has matured. Beardtongue and bluebonnets arrive in waves. Fruit trees begin to produce.

Act three: legacy

At year twenty the grounds reach the moment every landscape architect works for: a place that feels as if it has always been here. That is our gift to the next generation of residents.
