Our Story

Born from the
Blue Ridge Mountains

21 years ago, a park ranger with a vision started creating landscapes that honor the natural beauty of Western North Carolina.

21Years in Business
How It Started

From Park Ranger to Landscape Architect

Terry Greenfield spent his twenties hiking the Appalachian Trail and working as a park ranger along the Blue Ridge Parkway. He fell in love with the way nature composes itself — how stone, water, and plant life arrange into something beautiful without a blueprint.

After earning his landscape architecture certification from NC State's extension program in 2004, he left the National Park Service and started Greenstone Landscapes out of his garage in 2005.

The name “Greenstone” comes from the metamorphic rock found throughout the Blue Ridge Mountains — it represents the natural, enduring foundation of everything they build.

Diane joined the business full-time in 2008, and her organizational skills transformed it from a talented solo act into a real company. Today, Greenstone employs 12 crew members, including two junior designers and a dedicated hardscape foreman.

What We Believe

Our Guiding Principles

The values that shape every project we take on.

Design with the Land

We never impose a design on a property. Every plan starts by understanding what the land wants to be — its slopes, its light, its natural character.

Native & Natural

We prioritize native Appalachian plants and locally sourced stone. Our landscapes don't just look beautiful — they support local ecosystems.

Built to Last

We use the best materials and proven construction techniques. A Greenstone landscape should look better in 20 years than it does on day one.

Transparent Process

Diane keeps every client informed at every step. Clear timelines, honest pricing, and no surprises — that's how we've kept clients coming back for two decades.
