David J.B. Jochnowitz is a fourth generation gardener in the English tradition, getting his start on his grandfather's farm in England, "Barnes Park." With a life-long interest in landscape design, he started his own firm in 1988 in his hometown of Barnestable on Cape Cod. In 1993, David was featured in Better Homes and Gardens for an English perennial garden he had designed and installed. While studying Ornamental Horticulture/Environmental Design at Delaware Valley College in Doyelstown, Pennsylvania, he was the head of design for the college's award winning displays at the Philadelphia Flower Show in 1994, 1995, and 1996.

After college, David sold his company on Cape Cod to pursue a career in the Bucks County area of Pennsylvania. There, David learned more about grading and the operation of heavy equipment. David also honed his talents with stone, working both with the native stone and man-made material.

In 2000, seeking a longer growing season, and wanting to be close to the seashore again, David took a job in Maryland, with a company that shared his attention to detail and superior construction. Homestead Gardens was a place to learn which plants grow well in the Maryland area, a climate that was new to him. He was also afforded the opportunity to work on some premier projects that he is very proud of.

After two years, David's entrepreneurial spirit drove him to create a design firm that practiced excellence in design, until it became a habit. As a designer/consultant, David develops his concepts and perspectives into master plans; then can continue working with the client through the installation. David always looks forward to meeting with new clients, and creating projects that will improve their lives.
