R Lacey Design is a design firm based in the historic town of McClellanville, SC and serves the entire Lowcountry. Founded by Ruthie Lacey, R Lacey Design is deeply rooted in coastal South Carolina with decades of history in the region, as well as a generational influence vital to the Charleston area
With a lifetime spent in the Lowcountry of South Carolina, Ruthie has been immersed in the proper gardening practices of the state for decades. Soaking up the lessons learned from her grandfather - a pioneering Lowcountry horticulturist - as well as her mother, Ruthie has paired this with a natural ability to create beautiful spaces to become one of the premier garden designers in the southeast.
Create your perfect garden getaway with a custom Ruthie Lacey design. Working with you, Ruthie will bring your dream to reality; or take the pressure of yourself and allow Ruthie to build a fully custom plan from scratch.
Famed landscape architect Loutrel Briggs relied on Ruthie’s grandfather, Fritz, for his expertise on southern plants. This wealth of knowledge has been passed to Ruthie and has been further advanced through decades of experience.
Our Practice
Ruthie creates enduring designs because of her choices in plants and hardscape that structure the garden and allow for seasonal additions to keep your garden fresh and full of life.
