Welcome to Stoneshovel! My name is Arnold Rutkis and I am a Sculptor and Landscape Designer currently residing in Irondale Al. In these pages I will document the gardens and artwork i have been working on and feature any unique projects I have been involved in. I currently offer garden design and landscaping services in the Birmingham area. The word 'sustainable' is thrown around these days and I have firmly grounded myself in good landscape practices, such as limited use of chemicals and maximum reliance on organic methods. Edible gardening, native landscaping, habitat gardens and multi-seasonal floral displays are some of my favorite areas to explore. I have been 'Green' before green became a buzzword. Please explore the site and see examples of my projects and share in my gardening knowledge and experiences. We are all in the same garden just tending our own patch.

A tough native like Rudbeckia Maxima or coneflower can bring lasting beauty to any garden border and once established requires just a little maintenance.
