Tunnell and Tunnell Landscape Architecture Award winning Landscape Architect, Spencer Tunnell of Atlanta, began his private practice of landscape architecture in 1988.

Spencer's own backyard, where black-eyed Susans get to run a little wild against a stacked stone wall. Shenandoah grass softens every hard edge, all part of a native plant palette he clearly enjoys off the clock too.

Even landscape architects garden for themselves sometimes.

A few weeks ago, Spencer spent an afternoon walking LSU's visiting landscape architecture students through Olmsted Linear Park in Druid Hills.

The neighborhood was Frederick Law Olmsted's last residential suburb design, and we've worked with the Olmsted Linear Park Alliance to restore each of the linear parks to his vision since 1998.

Swipe to see this concept from 2015 compared to how the estate looks today.

Drone photos capture the breadth of this gorgeous project in ways few shots from the ground can.

This garden is in a state of becoming. Back in March, we were still nudging pots into place, plan in hand. After just one summer, it's already thriving.

Good design doesn't stop at the front door.

We're not just thinking about how a landscape feels to walk through. We're thinking about how it looks from the kitchen window. From the breakfast table. From the coffee spot.

This view came from inside the house. A landscape that lures you outside in the thick of a Georgia summer was designed with every angle in mind, including the ones you never leave the couch to see.

It's National Dog Day, which around here is basically every day.

Meet Yarrow, VP of "Wanna Play Fetch?", and Honeybun, VP of Belly Rubs.

Two very different management styles. Equally effective.

We started designs for this potager (vegetable garden) in 2022. This week we got to see it doing exactly what a garden should do in the Dog Days.

The okra is towering, the pollinators are working overtime, and the owners were happy to share some of their summer harvest. Spencer, of course, had to test the design for himself.

This is a part of the job we love, not the design process itself, but the years after, when a garden settles in and becomes a living and vital part of a client's life.

Three plants that wait ALL summer for their moment, and it's right now. ☀️

Rudbeckia triloba: smaller blooms than 'Goldstrum,' but the finches don't care. They shred the seed heads all season long.
Rudbeckia hirta ('Green Eyed Susan'): towers to 6 feet with deeply lobed leaves that earn their keep in the border long before they flower.
Ginger Lily: gardenia-white blooms, zero white fly drama, and a fragrance that fills an entire room from one cut stem.

None of these ask to be babied. They just show up when it's hottest and do their thing.
