Steve Griggs has been building more than gardens for nearly 40 years — he builds stories, sanctuaries, and spaces that speak. In this episode, he pulls back the curtain on what truly separates pretty landscaping from living landscapes: engineering, plant science, personal memories, privacy, and yes — even the grit behind the beauty.
🔍 We talk about:
• How to design outdoor spaces that reflect who you really are (not what’s trendy)
• The creative + technical balance: when a design needs more than just flowers and stone
• Why privacy, storytelling, and comfort are just as important as the aesthetic
• Real-world tips: choosing materials, working with engineers, and features most people overlook
If you’re building or renovating your outdoor space — or just love powerful design stories — this one’s for you.
