Ashley Bristow Designs

A Landscape Designer focused on personalized garden designs in Wake County, NC.

About me

I am a graduate of North Carolina State University with a B.S. in Horticultural Sciences concentrated in Landscape Design. In addition, I have received a Master of Business Administration from NC State. Also, a wife and a mother of two crazy little boys. As a NC native, I am very familiar with clay soil.

My design technique is a little different from other companies. I strive to find a way that allows a client to visualize their finalized design, and utilize their opinions throughout the design process. I provide different options for plant layout, and then bring a range of plants that will suit the selected design. The client and I go through the different options until the client is fully satisfied. This way I can work with those who is well versed in plants, and with those who just want everything to look pretty!

I do my best to keep my recent projects page updated, but recently have started utilizing my Instagram page to display my design submissions. Take a look at both sites to see project updates.

In addition, I am working on a “toolbox” page. This will display my favorite products for the landscape. Items that are always great to have on hand for your landscape needs.

  • Giving Proper Space
    When first meeting this homeowner, it was clear that their plants were not accenting the house. Everything was all clustered together, and many plants were not in the right place.
