John has spent thirty, productive years as a designer/builder of both residential and commercial "spaces" over the entire United States, including fifteen years of specific small landscaping/design projects. John's customers employed his services primarily for his strong artistic abilities supported by solid construction practices.
All have enjoyed successful financial rewards from his "magic." Whether John revitalizes the productivity of his client's property or enhances an artistic, "naturalized" impression, he employs much of the same machinery as most landscapers and dirt contractors. Similar to any artist, however, those machines are his tools only to obtain the desired image/vista.

Pastures, Rocks & Trees deliberately remains a one-man, small and truly dedicated operation with extensive machinery to reduce the client's cost. John developed his concept of sculpting land in New England around 2001 and continued that when he relocated to Tangipahoa, Louisiana in 2006. Sculpting, or shaping, land is similar to sculpting wood, clay, soft metal - almost any malleable material.
Solutions to design problems often reveal themselves once the obvious negative components are addressed first. Most of these remedies need not to be expensive and/or complicated but may require several years to complete in small increments. Although John chooses not to "maintain, " he enjoys both installing and returning to extended projects by his excited clients.
The "organic design" process repeatedly is most rewarding to John and his clients, similar to opening up Holiday presents. Also, it can be the scariest to those clients who quickly become insecure about their eventual, overall $ costs. However, once a direction of any design is chosen, John offers either a total price or prices per installment.
Every individual has their own unique ingredients for their image of fields and pastures. Those personal images become tailored with daily use by animals (both domesticated and wild), by the client, as well as by the flora from either native or cultivated sources. Success of the steward's open spaces depends on his ability to integrate all spatial and physical needs, including one more: his/her own personal aesthetic touches.
Almost all active grazing pastures, regardless of their topography and geographical location, can suffer from compaction when not rotated frequently and when a balanced flora growth is not maintained.
Short-term solutions include both mechanical applications (aerating, sub-soiling, cultivating, and plowing) and chemical applications, which may become necessary for a quick "fix" especially when there is little to no slope for effective drainage and/or when the height of the cover crop is lower than 3".
