As we wrap up World Landscape Architecture Month, we wanted to highlight the dedication of our licensed staff at KVD. We asked them to share why they embarked on the path to licensure, and their responses were both inspiring and insightful.
At KVD, we prioritize continuous learning and professional growth. Encouraging our staff to pursue licensure is just one way we support their development. With a diverse team boasting a wealth of expertise and interests, we’ve instituted internal lunch and learn sessions. These sessions provide a platform for each staff member to showcase their projects, share lessons learned and spark new ideas for the future.
Our commitment to learning also extends beyond our office walls. You’ll often find our team members attending educational sessions hosted by organizations like ASLA and ULI right here in Nashville. These experiences not only expand our knowledge but also strengthen our connections within the local design and construction community.
As we reflect on World Landscape Architecture Month, we’re reminded of the passion and dedication that drives us forward. Together, we’ll continue to push the boundaries of innovation and excellence in landscape architecture.

Introducing the newest addition to our KVD squad: Taylor! 🎉 We're beyond excited to have Taylor join us as a Project Manager. His passion, skills, and fresh perspective are sure to take our team to new heights.
Taylor is a seasoned professional who joined the KVD team in 2024, infusing over 13 years of invaluable high-end residential experience into the firm. Blending a rare combination of creativity and pragmatism, Taylor is just as likely to wield a paintbrush on canvas as he is to meticulously pore over project details on the computer. A graduate of Mississippi State University with a degree in Landscape Architecture, Taylor embarked on his career journey in his hometown of Nashville. His energetic demeanor is matched only by his patience, a trait that proves indispensable when navigating the intricacies of long-term projects typical in their line of work.
Taylor finds joy in the simple pleasures of life. An avid beekeeper and gardener, he relishes in the tranquility of nature and the satisfaction of nurturing life from seed to bloom. When he's not tending to his hives or cultivating his garden, Taylor cherishes every moment spent with his wife, lively toddler, and beloved dogs, embracing the joys and challenges of parenthood with boundless enthusiasm.
Welcome aboard, Taylor! #KVD #NewHire #WelcomeTaylor

At KVD, when we work hard, we like to play even harder!
Our team always has fun getting out to see projects in our own backyard. Earlier this week, we visited the newly completed Cool Springs Park in Franklin. We enjoyed checking out the design details in the park and were inspired by the level of play this project promotes.

It's our pleasure to introduce another new member to the KVD team, Accounting and Business Manager Rebecca!
Rebecca joins our team as our resident Bean Counter, Artist Wrangler, Treat Giver, and Mistress of the Files. She loves being surrounded by creative people and doing her part to help make the world a little more green.
She is originally from New Orleans, LA, which mostly explains her love of lush green spaces, beautiful art, Halloween, and excellent seafood. It does not explain her love of organization, logic, and computer software. After living in various states over the last 20 years, she has made her home in the Nashville area with her family and loud/ opinionated Siberian husky.
When she isn’t labeling everything with a purple pen, you can find Rebecca on the local trails, out in her garden, cooking something for a large group, planning her Halloween display, going to Disney, or reading a ridiculously long book in a short amount of time.
Follow @rebecca_kvd on Instagram to see more creative KVD content!

Earlier this week KVD had a fun field trip up to the neuhoff_district in Nashville! Neuhoff is a new mixed-use site along the Cumberland River in historic Germantown. Originally home to Nashville's meat-packing district, this site will now feature office, retail, multi-family space, an amphitheater, outdoor entertainment space, and direct riverfront access. It was inspiring to see Neuhoff reusing salvaged brick, stone and other remnants of the original meat-packing plant. As Landscape Architects and Designers, having these amenities in our own backyard is so exciting! Thank you so much to Holland and Gavin at @newcityproperties for allowing us to visit and for being such fantastic tour guides!

This New Jersey native graduated with her BLA from Penn State (where she met Katie) in 2012. Kaylynn has worked with a spectrum of project types including healthcare, hospitality, multifamily and municipal recreation spaces and has been recognized on several award-winning projects.

Kay is an engaged mentor and champion of creating a nurturing and vibrant office culture. In her free time, she enjoys boating and traveling/camping with her husband and daughter in addition to renovating and flipping homes.

Project Year Completed: 2022
Client: Boyle Investment Co.
Consultants:
General Contractor: DeAngelis Diamond Nashville
Civil: Kimley Horn Associates
Architect: @smithgeestudio
Landscape Contractor: Viking Landscape
Turf Supplier: @goatturf
Berry Farms Town Center was designed with outdoor spaces for everybody. From a luxury pool and a dog park, to linear pocket parks, this new development has a lot to offer and all within walking distance of your front door. The designs incorporate curvilinear forms to create outdoor rooms that allow for flexible use of each space, whether you're working on your laptop or hanging with friends. The pool and grilling areas were designed to break up the spaces for year-round use and have been a huge hit for the Town Center residents. The dog park has also become a highly utilized feature that the dogs (and resident's) love!
KVD enjoyed being a part of Friends of Franklin Park’s Raise the Roofs Event at Harlinsdale Farm benefitting the funding of Franklin’s first inclusive children’s park, “Ellie G’s Dream World!”

As we wrap up World Landscape Architecture Month, we wanted to highlight the dedication of our licensed staff at KVD. We asked them to share why they embarked on the path to licensure, and their responses were both inspiring and insightful.
At KVD, we prioritize continuous learning and professional growth. Encouraging our staff to pursue licensure is just one way we support their development. With a diverse team boasting a wealth of expertise and interests, we’ve instituted internal lunch and learn sessions. These sessions provide a platform for each staff member to showcase their projects, share lessons learned and spark new ideas for the future.
Our commitment to learning also extends beyond our office walls. You’ll often find our team members attending educational sessions hosted by organizations like ASLA and ULI right here in Nashville. These experiences not only expand our knowledge but also strengthen our connections within the local design and construction community.
As we reflect on World Landscape Architecture Month, we’re reminded of the passion and dedication that drives us forward. Together, we’ll continue to push the boundaries of innovation and excellence in landscape architecture.

Introducing the newest addition to our KVD squad: Taylor! 🎉 We're beyond excited to have Taylor join us as a Project Manager. His passion, skills, and fresh perspective are sure to take our team to new heights.
Taylor is a seasoned professional who joined the KVD team in 2024, infusing over 13 years of invaluable high-end residential experience into the firm. Blending a rare combination of creativity and pragmatism, Taylor is just as likely to wield a paintbrush on canvas as he is to meticulously pore over project details on the computer. A graduate of Mississippi State University with a degree in Landscape Architecture, Taylor embarked on his career journey in his hometown of Nashville. His energetic demeanor is matched only by his patience, a trait that proves indispensable when navigating the intricacies of long-term projects typical in their line of work.
Taylor finds joy in the simple pleasures of life. An avid beekeeper and gardener, he relishes in the tranquility of nature and the satisfaction of nurturing life from seed to bloom. When he's not tending to his hives or cultivating his garden, Taylor cherishes every moment spent with his wife, lively toddler, and beloved dogs, embracing the joys and challenges of parenthood with boundless enthusiasm.
Welcome aboard, Taylor! #KVD #NewHire #WelcomeTaylor

It's our pleasure to introduce another new member to the KVD team, Accounting and Business Manager Rebecca!
Rebecca joins our team as our resident Bean Counter, Artist Wrangler, Treat Giver, and Mistress of the Files. She loves being surrounded by creative people and doing her part to help make the world a little more green.
She is originally from New Orleans, LA, which mostly explains her love of lush green spaces, beautiful art, Halloween, and excellent seafood. It does not explain her love of organization, logic, and computer software. After living in various states over the last 20 years, she has made her home in the Nashville area with her family and loud/ opinionated Siberian husky.
When she isn’t labeling everything with a purple pen, you can find Rebecca on the local trails, out in her garden, cooking something for a large group, planning her Halloween display, going to Disney, or reading a ridiculously long book in a short amount of time.
Follow @rebecca_kvd on Instagram to see more creative KVD content!

Earlier this week KVD had a fun field trip up to the neuhoff_district in Nashville! Neuhoff is a new mixed-use site along the Cumberland River in historic Germantown. Originally home to Nashville's meat-packing district, this site will now feature office, retail, multi-family space, an amphitheater, outdoor entertainment space, and direct riverfront access. It was inspiring to see Neuhoff reusing salvaged brick, stone and other remnants of the original meat-packing plant. As Landscape Architects and Designers, having these amenities in our own backyard is so exciting! Thank you so much to Holland and Gavin at @newcityproperties for allowing us to visit and for being such fantastic tour guides!

Project Name: Berry Farms Town Center

Client: Boyle Investment Co.

General Contractor: DeAngelis Diamond Nashville

Architect: @smithgeestudio
Landscape Contractor: Viking Landscape

Berry Farms Town Center was designed with outdoor spaces for everybody. From a luxury pool and a dog park, to linear pocket parks, this new development has a lot to offer and all within walking distance of your front door. The designs incorporate curvilinear forms to create outdoor rooms that allow for flexible use of each space, whether you're working on your laptop or hanging with friends. The pool and grilling areas were designed to break up the spaces for year-round use and have been a huge hit for the Town Center residents. The dog park has also become a highly utilized feature that the dogs (and resident's) love!
KVD enjoyed being a part of Friends of Franklin Park’s Raise the Roofs Event at Harlinsdale Farm benefitting the funding of Franklin’s first inclusive children’s park, “Ellie G’s Dream World!”
