Halfway there! Congratulations to our own Dominic Fava!
 
Dominic recently passed his second of four sections of the LARE (Landscape Architecture Registration Exam) and is well on his way to being a licensed landscape architect. That’s no small accomplishment, and we couldn’t be more proud of the hard work, dedication, and discipline he’s putting into his path to licensure (and his work here at the DT office).
 
Keep going Dominic, we’re rooting for you!

Getting serious about our site inspection during a recent rooftop renovation at a corporate campus in Memphis.

Custom raised planters give the soil depth needed for trees on the roof deck. Shade structures, site furnishings, and lighting create comfortable spots for employees and visitors to enjoy the outdoors anytime of day. A putting green doubles as an event lawn. It’s a space for work and play, and was a fun place to reimagine.

Shoutout to our teammates:

Construction at the new Frayser Library is nearly complete. The work on the building and paving install is impressive, but we have to show some love to the “back of house.” Thousands of native sedges were planted to create a lush, low-maintenance and environmentally friendly landscape between the building and existing woodland.

Sedges and other natives can offer long-term cost savings versus a traditional sodded lawn. They require mush less water, little to no mowing, and can support pollinators and other wildlife. We’re excited to see this landscape develop and track its progress - looking great so far!

Congratulations to the Memphis Botanic Garden on their new Youth Education and Tropical Plant House being named a finalist in Memphis Business Journal’s Building Memphis Awards!

Shoutout to team members 4F Design and Grinder, Taber, & Grinder. We enjoyed working through plans for hardscape, grading, drainage, and other site details to help shape the outdoor classroom and patio space outside of this new tropical oasis in the heart of Memphis.

DT escaped with 9 minutes to spare from the High Noon Saloon Room . If the clues were plant names we’d have really nailed it. Fun times!

Fall is here and what better way to enjoy this amazing weather by heading to the Agricenter. The Sunflower Trail is a bike and pedestrian pathway that connects the Agricenter to Shelby farms. While on the trail, check out our signs where you can learn about the Agricenter research from solar panels to cotton fields. There is so much valuable knowledge you may gain along this amazing path!

The design team here at Dalhoff Thomas design studio has been so very excited to see the final stages of collaboration taking place for The Ravine - we look forward seeing the beginning of construction on Phase 1 soon!

Construction is to start next week to turn a two-block-long, 25-foot-deep depression that divides the Edge District into a social seam for gathering, playing, entertainment, public art, eating and even shopping.
