Halfway there! Congratulations to our own Dominic Fava!
 
Dominic recently passed his second of four sections of the LARE (Landscape Architecture Registration Exam) and is well on his way to being a licensed landscape architect. That’s no small accomplishment, and we couldn’t be more proud of the hard work, dedication, and discipline he’s putting into his path to licensure (and his work here at the DT office).
 
Keep going Dominic, we’re rooting for you!

Getting serious about our site inspection during a recent rooftop renovation at a corporate campus in Memphis.

Custom raised planters give the soil depth needed for trees on the roof deck. Shade structures, site furnishings, and lighting create comfortable spots for employees and visitors to enjoy the outdoors anytime of day. A putting green doubles as an event lawn. It’s a space for work and play, and was a fun place to reimagine.

Shoutout to our teammates:

Construction at the new Frayser Library is nearly complete. The work on the building and paving install is impressive, but we have to show some love to the “back of house.” Thousands of native sedges were planted to create a lush, low-maintenance and environmentally friendly landscape between the building and existing woodland.

Sedges and other natives can offer long-term cost savings versus a traditional sodded lawn. They require mush less water, little to no mowing, and can support pollinators and other wildlife. We’re excited to see this landscape develop and track its progress - looking great so far!

Congratulations to the Memphis Botanic Garden on their new Youth Education and Tropical Plant House being named a finalist in Memphis Business Journal’s Building Memphis Awards!

Shoutout to team members 4F Design and Grinder, Taber, & Grinder. We enjoyed working through plans for hardscape, grading, drainage, and other site details to help shape the outdoor classroom and patio space outside of this new tropical oasis in the heart of Memphis.

DT escaped with 9 minutes to spare from the High Noon Saloon Room . If the clues were plant names we’d have really nailed it. Fun times!

We hope that you enjoy this holiday season with your family and friends! Our office will be closed beginning at noon today, December 22, and will reopen on Tuesday, December 27. Thank you to our clients and collaborators for a wonderful year. We look forward to a great 2023!

A big thanks to the Memphis River Parks Partnership and Montgomery Martin Contractors for having us and other TNASLA members out for a tour of Tom Lee Park. We’re excited to see the finished product next year - looking great so far!

DT design studio enjoyed a great evening at The Grove at GPAC, which is one of our recently built projects and a collaboration with the talented folks at archimania. Thanks to the Germantown Performing Arts Center for a wonderful evening and for supporting local musicians.

Fall is here and what better way to enjoy this amazing weather by heading to the Agricenter. The Sunflower Trail is a bike and pedestrian pathway that connects the Agricenter to Shelby farms. While on the trail, check out our signs where you can learn about the Agricenter research from solar panels to cotton fields. There is so much valuable knowledge you may gain along this amazing path!

We are excited to announce that Dalhoff Thomas design studio has won a TNASLA Merit Award for the Ballet Memphis completed landscape design. We collaborated closely with Archimania to design a project that demonstrates how architecture and landscape interact through movement, space, and time. archimania

It’s exciting to see that Broad Ave will begin to transform over the next upcoming years! The arts district will gain apartments for an active lifestyle while maintaining culture of arts and community vitality.
