The David Miles Story

A Lifetime of Landscaping Expertise

Stone & Garden by Design is led by owner David Miles, a green-industry veteran with over 35 years of hands-on experience. David’s unique perspective comes from a career built from the ground up—literally. He spent his first decade mastering the nursery and horticultural side of the business, learning exactly which plants thrive in Northern New Jersey’s climate. He then transitioned into 25 years of intensive field work, specializing in custom hardscape construction and stonework. When you hire Stone & Garden, you aren't getting a revolving door of project managers; you are getting David’s personal oversight, his eye for detail, and a level of craftsmanship that has been a staple in the Ringwood community for over 15 years.

Expert Solutions for Ringwood’s Unique Terrain

Landscaping in the Northern New Jersey Highlands requires more than just an aesthetic eye—it requires a deep understanding of our region's complex geology. From the heavy clay and granite shelf of the Ramapo Mountains to the aggressive runoff challenges faced by homes near our local lakes, every property in Ringwood presents a unique set of environmental demands. At Stone & Garden by Design, we don’t offer 'cookie-cutter' packages. Instead, we provide site-specific engineering and horticultural solutions designed to withstand the local climate while enhancing the natural character of your North Jersey landscape

Mastering Rocky Topography

Ringwood is famous for its hills and rocky soil. David specializes in designing engineered retaining walls and tiered stone walkways that transform steep, unusable slopes into functional outdoor retreats

Advanced Drainage & Grading

With the heavy rainfall and elevation changes in the Highlands, water management is critical. We install custom French drains, swales, and grading systems designed to protect your foundation and keep your property dry

Highlands-Hardy Plantings

Between the local deer population and our specific soil types, planting in Ringwood requires local knowledge. We prioritize deer-resistant landscaping and native species that flourish in neighborhoods like Cupsaw Lake, Erskine Lakes, and Stonetown.

Strategic Privacy & Natural Screening

While Ringwood is known for its open spaces, achieving true backyard privacy can be difficult on sloped or wooded lots. We design living privacy fences using deer-resistant evergreens and custom screening solutions that create secluded outdoor sanctuaries without blocking your mountain views.
