When it comes to residential landscapes, Randy Allworth and Dale Nussbaum—Design Achievement Award winners in 2005—have created an entirely new appreciation for the concept of minimalism.

Known for well-edited plant choices and uncomplicated but chic landscapes, this team is creating sanctuaries that define the Northwest garden in its most pure, simplified form.
