Landscape & Design

Petro to restore famous gardens… A treasure was found in the attic; the original landscape design plans and native plant lists, of an extraordinary manor house, Drayton Manor, located near Chestertown, Maryland.  This prestigious property has a rich history. Prominent landscape architect Thomas W. Sears (1880-1960) designed the original landscape plans for a private formal garden at the Drayton Manor Estate in 1938. Petro Design/Build, Inc has plans to restore the Sears garden to its’ original grandeur. This restoration will be photographed and documented for The Smithsonian to be included in the Thomas Sears Collection at the Archives of American Gardens.
