Three Chopt Project Completed: A Bold Landscape Designed for Impact
Some landscapes are made to stand out—and this recently completed Three Chopt estate project does exactly that. Designed by James River Nurseries’ own Eric, this transformation brings together refined structure, layered planting, and expert craftsmanship to create an outdoor space that feels timeless, elevated, and deeply connected to its surroundings.
From the first site visit to the final walkthrough, this project was built around one goal: to enhance the property with a landscape that matched its architectural presence while adding warmth, livability, and long-term beauty.
A Vision Brought to Life Through Design + Detail
This project combines large-scale elements with intricate detailing, resulting in a landscape that is both impressive and inviting. Thoughtful planning and execution allowed our team to balance bold form with natural flow.
Key elements include:
- Custom Hardscape Design
A network of walkways, terraces, and transitions creates movement through the landscape. Stone accents and generous spacing give the property a stately but welcoming feel. - Showcase Plant Material
Large caliper trees and statement evergreens establish scale and structure immediately, giving the landscape a mature aesthetic from day one. - Layered Planting for Four-Season Beauty
The planting design includes a mix of ornamental shrubs, perennial color, and evergreen anchors—adding depth and softness while ensuring year-round interest. - Lush Sod Installation
Expansive lawn areas frame the hardscape and planting beds, offering balance and open space for gathering, play, and visual relief between landscape layers.
From Concept to Completion
Eric’s design emphasized flow, proportion, and material harmony—ensuring the home, landscape, and site feel connected. Every curve, planting bed, and transition was purposefully laid out to guide movement and create visual rhythm across the property.
The result? A showstopping outdoor environment that feels grand yet livable—built to grow even more beautiful over time.
