WaterWise Garden Design, located in Raleigh, NC, has evolved from a landscape design business to a full-service environmental approach to garden design over the past twenty four years.

In addition to creating and managing the installation of landscape plans, Hoyt has promoted education and volunteerism in the gardening community. Over the years, the knowledge and experience achieved in these areas helped develop a landscape design process that is grounded in the conservation of our natural resources.
