The Ridge at Chukker Creek, Aiken, South Carolina

Stands of wild azalea dot a client's property in western South Carolina, but fortunately were easily avoided because they covered a relatively small percentage of her acreage. On another property in New England, where about half the land was vegetated with mountain laurel, a color aerial photo taken just after snowfall helped enormously in identifying the stands and designing around the most significant of them.
