Professionally Staged Patios for realtors & homeowners
We can help give your home (or your client's home) the edge it needs to fetch a higher price and sell faster! We know what it takes to create a vibrant, resonant memory that will stay on a client's mind long after their visit. With a perfect mix of budget-conscious staging and design savvy, we'll create a garden and patio that will be a win-win for both buyer and seller. Here's how we helped a Compass realtor bring her client's home to market.
While the farmhouse style of the home (not pictured) was very charming, the state of the garden made selling the house simply overwhelming. We were excited to come to the rescue, meeting both time and budget constraints. Now, any family would be happy to relax in this corner lot pergola or linger by the fire pit on a cool Philly evening.

Our Procedure
Consultation
We offer a complimentary fifteen minute phone chat to better understand your wants and needs, and answer your questions to be sure we're a good fit. It's kind of like speed dating for a garden makeover project! It's important that your goals and budget are clearly understood, so that we can create an outdoor space you've only dreamt of thus far!
Site Visit
The next step to your new patio, is to book a site visit online. We'll meet in person and assess your sunlight, the current condition of the space, take detailed measurements and learn a bit more about your lifestyle and your ideal outdoor day. Upon agreement of working together, a deposit will be needed to continue on to the best part-the design phase!
We install, you enjoy!
Once the design has been agreed upon and finalized, we're on our way to making it all happen for you! Our mindful production team will carefully and quietly install everything you'll need for your patio to help you relax, reboot and reconnect to nature!

"Kristin and team were wonderful to work with. They transformed our patio in the sky into a welcoming, comfortable, attractive space. We have spent more time there in the last 2 weeks than in the 2 years we have lived here. Kristin was supremely professional, listened closely and adapted to our suggestions. We now have a genuine oasis."

LongHouse Reserve, East Hampton, NY
For 20+ years, Kristin owned and ran an event design and production firm in NYC. Organics were a large part of the business. Along with her team, Kristin designed and produced events for the likes of Target, Giorgio Armani, Laura Mercier, Smith & Hawken, and Godiva. She also enjoyed work as a photo stylist and window designer for
a number of luxury 5th Avenue retailers.
The move to Philadelphia came about because the drive to design and renovate a lowly rowhouse into a highly efficient and luxurious home, was the ultimate challenge! (Think steam room, rooftop shower, radiant heated sidewalk, and dumb waiter to the rooftop deck!) Kristin also felt compelled to live in a place where people had more time to volunteer, and to be involved in their communities, particularly planting trees and working in community gardens.
So, from years of experience in design, and a strong love of nature and the environment, Rowhouse Growhouse was born, fittingly right here in Philadelphia, America's Garden Capital.
Kristin lives in Philly with her husband, Gadge, and her Senegal parrot, Nelson.
Hello, Philadelphia!
I'm so glad to be here!
