Our Greenspaces
Raney Design offers Northwest Arkansas a fresh perspective to transform and personalize your outdoor space.
Blake Street House
Blake Street required a dynamic site design that evoked a "home away from home" feel. Abundant native mass plantings fill the front porch and courtyard spaces, enhancing the private and exclusive nature of this social club. Intimate and communal spaces merge through warm and organic material selection.
The Preacher's Son
The Preacher’s Son design honors its traditional church setting while capturing the charm of a traditional English garden. Native hardy perennials add vibrant color and texture through the summer and early fall and partner’s well with the base Italian Cypress and boxwood evergreens.
Table Rock Lake House
The Table Rock Lake home design celebrates the geography and topography of the Ozarks, while making sense of a challenging steep grade and densely vegetative lakefront.
The Greenway Office Park
Greenway office park developers tasked Jon with creating a contemporary oasis that connected workers to the natural environment. Sleek lines of varying green textures cocoon the liminal pathways and offer contrast to a bold, custom outdoor sculpture.
Caruth Residence
This backyard landscape and pool design creates a calming retreat using simple, muted materials and clean forms, maximizing the efficiency of a tight space. An elegant steel gas fire pit serves as the heart of the intimate area, inviting relaxation and connection.
Watson Circle Residence
A modern interpretation of a stream, a grey limestone cascade water feature was with glass tile was designed and installed in the pool of a mid-century residence to enhance the backyard space near a busy toll road.
Farquhar Residence

Preston Glen Residence
The design challenge of a narrow lot was met with a linear pool and spa, enhanced by a lighted limestone wall that conceals equipment and adds elegance. An Ann Sacks tile and stainless-steel weir wall create soothing sounds at the pool's entry.
Crestbrook Residence
The landscape design, influenced by strong lines and warm materials from Stocker Hoesterey Montenegro Architects, features simple architectural concrete step pads paired with organized plantings of grey cotoneaster, soft ground covers, and seasonal color to enhance the home's front entry.
Testimonials
“For 30 years, the hillside in front of our lake cabin has been prone to erosion and overgrowth of weeds. We wanted to make this land not only more passable, but livable too. Jon listened to our needs patiently and designed an elegant multi-tiered and low-maintenance outdoor space that respects the natural contours of the land. What was once an unsightly and unused thicket on the way to the water has been transformed into an inviting new gathering space for our growing family.”
Table Rock Lake Resident
“Working with Jon changed how we experience our home. It expanded into the back yard. Because of his vision, we went from the backyard being an area we engaged with sporadically to a place we interact with as often as we can. We love our space!”
