Troy shares how growing up on a horse ranch, being mentored by master landscapers, and even walking through burnout and a major back injury shaped his approach to design. Today, he “adopts” his clients like family and creates outdoor environments that honor their lifestyle, values, and long-term goals—not just their wish lists.

Episode Highlights

From ranch life to landscape architecture: How Troy’s childhood on a horse ranch and mentorship under Yoshioka and Yamasaki set the course for his career.

Burnout, injury, and a pivot: The back injury that forced Troy to step away from design-build and step into landscape architecture—and how it re-centered his purpose.

Why most homeowners start in the wrong place: The danger of leading with “pretty pictures” and lofty dreams instead of goals, budget, and reality.

Designing for how you actually live: Why circulation, pathways, stairs, and flow matter more than the latest trendy plant or feature.

The power of personal details: How favorite animals, family stories, and “what you don’t like” shape custom features like turtle fountains and bird-of-prey-inspired designs.

Avoiding expensive regrets: Pools, fire pits, and features people think they want—but rarely use once they’re installed.

Embracing the learning curve: The advice Troy would give his younger self about experience, ego, and trusting the process.

The real reward: Why Troy measures success by his clients’ reactions and the way their new spaces bring people together.

Whether you’re dreaming about a pool, a fire pit, or simply a yard you actually use, Troy explains why slowing down, asking better questions, and understanding your “why” can save you from expensive regrets and unlock a space you genuinely love.

Clinton shares his journey from building computers at age 11 to running construction companies, industrial developments, a golf course, and now a premier historic event venue. He explains how faith, curiosity, and a love of learning have guided every venture—from North Dakota oil fields to boutique hospitality in Nashville.

You’ll hear the inside story of the Fontanel:

How it went from Barbara Mandrell’s family home and reality TV backdrop…

To a 5,000-seat soundstage that hosted some of the biggest bands of the 2000s…

To the neglected mansion Clinton rescued from the brink of being torn down…

And now, to a meticulously restored, experience-driven venue for weddings, music events, and unforgettable gatherings.
