R.a. Haines Landscape

About R.a. Haines Landscape

Late afternoon in the old neighborhoods south of downtown West Palm Beach, the sun slides through the oaks and lands gold on 1920s houses with tile roofs and deep porches. R.a. Haines Landscape tends grounds across the city, landscape and lawn alike, fitting each yard to the house it surrounds. On streets like these a front garden is part of the architecture, and it reads truest with borders squared and plantings shaped to the doorway. Down on Clematis Street the evening crowd gathers by the waterfront fountain, while a few blocks away a lawn mown that morning settles into shade. The craft lies in leaving every property in keeping with its age and its street as the city turns toward night.
