Scott Shrader has mastered the art of crafting classic gardens that feel timeless. Take a look inside his own garden, where he makes even a small space feel abundant.

Garden Design: Why did you, a garden pro, choose a house with such a tiny yard?
.
Scott Shrader: I’m out every day, busy on jobs, and I don’t have time to manage much space for myself. But I saw how I could take this small house—which had a good plan and 11-foot ceilings—and pop in big French doors to open its rooms to the outside. By dividing the garden into corresponding outdoor rooms, I could give both inside and out more purpose and make everything feel larger.

Garden details include Walter Lamb chairs, a table made from reclaimed scaffolding, and exterior hardscaping crafted with vintage Guatemalan pavers. Shrader designed the bronze center feature, titled Flight of Icarus, with sculptor Simon Toparovsky. Photo by Lisa Romerein.
