A garden studio,
not a lawn crew.
Lee Alderman paints with plants — depth, dimension, color for every chosen space. Thirty years of design in Sarasota and Manatee.
Landscape is the slowest architecture.
Silvermoon is a designer-led studio. We work like painters: a first wash of structure, a second pass of mass planting, the final note of accent that carries the eye through the garden in season. Plant selection is a long-term composition — the right species in the right place, doing the work for years.
Most of our clients are still calling a decade later. That's the only metric we care about.

The practice — eight disciplines, one studio.

Like painting a painting, his designs have depth, dimension, and color for each chosen space.
A studio is not a service. It is a point of view.
Most landscape companies in Sarasota and Manatee were founded by transplants. Silvermoon is a multi-generational Floridian practice — the soil, the canopy, the rainy season, the dry, the salt, the heat index. That knowledge is the foundation of every planting plan we draft.
We are designer-led, not maintenance-led. Every project begins with a measured drawing, a plant palette, and a written scope. The build follows the design, not the other way around. Half of our new work each year comes from clients we've served for over a decade.

A short call, an on-site walk, a measured drawing. No pressure, no upsell. The first visit is on us.
