This 2006 Cushing, Maine garden
was designed to resemble a small
rock quarry, typical in this part of
Maine. I designed and supervised
construction of the Japanese-style
screen house which slightly
overhangs the pond.

Resetting Stones at Asticou Azalea Garden (2007 and 2009). We were honored to bring our
two wooden and steel tripods to help meticulously restore the original 1950s setting of the
stones at the sand garden with our good friend, Mary Roper, the head gardener.

"Lee Schneller has a wonderful eye for the right placement, whether of a plant or a
rock. She is delightful to work with, good at explaining what she can do, and good at
just helping you understand your property and its potential. I've used her now for two
projects, a Japanese-style rock garden [above] and a walk [left]. For both projects, I
simply assembled the raw materials she requested and stood back and watched a
miracle happen. The property looks completely different now, and I spend more time
enjoying it. I highly recommend her." - W. Keller, Norridgewock, Maine
