Jim Beam American Stillhouse,Jim Beam Brands Co.
Clermont, Kentucky The project is designated a LEED Gold project, the first for PLA.

The multi-acre site, once all phases of design and planting are completed, will have a variety of significant Kentucky-native trees, shrubs, perennials and a variety of plaza spaces that accent Jim Beam's American Stillhouse building designed by Barnette Bagley Architects of Lexington, KY. Opened in 2013. Fairfield Inn. Development Plan & Building Landscape Design - Lexington, Kentucky

Old Good Shepherd Catholic Church Courtyard Landscape - Frankfort, Kentucky
This courtyard space was a nearly clean slate for ideas. Allen Sweeny of Al's Complete Lawn Care requested that PLA provide a site landscape plan for a space to be used for formal events & gatherings such as weddings and galas. The initial plan was created with the use of an outdoor stage and great lawn for gathering space in addition to intimate social areas and gardens. The requested revisions to the plan were to include a paved area that would support a removable tent/canopy 50'x50' - roughly half of the size of the space. After some thought and additional direction a revised plan was produced. This project is at the corner of Wapping and Bridge Streets in historic Frankfort, KY.

The Kearney Hall HOA Signage Wall Landscape Update- Lexington, Kentucky
PLA was again commissioned by EMG Management Services and the Homeplace Home Owner's Association Board to provide an updated landscape planting plan for the out-of-date, dying, and inappropriately planted neighborhood entry signage on Kearney Ridge Boulevard off of Georgetown Road in Lexington. The project site contained 2 stone verneer walls on either side of the boulevard and a significant planting bed with "Kearney Hall" signage wall and columns at the end of the median directly facing Georgetown Road. The design intent was to provide lots of seasonal interest, a variety of textures, colors and shapes that would call your attention to the entrance of the neighborhood. The integration of boulder retaining walls and stone curbing help to provide visibility to the landscape from vehicles coming or going down Georgetown Road and to slightly elevate portions of the median so that it didn't appear so flat while not obstructing the granite sign.
Design complete: Summer 2014
