It’s New to Us by Jean Stratton


SPRING SPOTLIGHT: “Early spring is a great time to create beauty in the landscape. With the harsh weather of the past 18 months (hot summer, drought, and extreme cold weather), there is a need for a lot of replanting and replacements — trees, shrubs, bushes, etc.” John J. Colombero, president of Sunset Creations Landscape Design & Construction, looks forward to the start of a new season.

After the wintry blast of the past months, people can’t wait to get outside. Sunny days, balmy breezes, and warm temperatures are beckoning.


ALL-IN-ONE: “We’re a design-build firm. We are an architectural firm, a general contractor, and custom woodworkers. It’s three cylinders that function together.” Kevin Wilkes AIA, founder and managing director of Princeton Design Guild, stands in front of the state-of-the-art wide belt sander in the company’s 12,000 square foot shop.
