Rick Griffin is a Jackson, Mississippi based Landscape Architect. Rick has been honored with an outstanding alumni award from Mississippi State University’s School of Landscape Architecture. The work done by him and his business partner, fellow L.A. Clifton Egger, has been celebrated in numerous magazines. While deeply rooted in the South, Rick readily absorbs influences from gardeners and landscape architects around the world, adapting them to suit local conditions. His signature designs include a rich blend of shapes, textures and colours, layering contemporary – some might say quirky – elements on sound, traditional foundations. Concepts developed for his high-end clients may use classic construction materials, but in his own garden, you’re as likely to find artwork by local children, repurposed second hand finds, fake grass, rebar or smashed up concrete. Rick insists that the design principle is the same. If you ask Rick if he ever gets tired of it all, he simply replies “It’s just fun to see all the new stuff. That’s why I don’t want to retire. I’m having too much fun.”

Clifton Egger, a lifelong resident of Jackson, Mississippi. He graduated in 1981 from Mississippi State University’s School of Landscape Architecture; several years after he joined Rick’s large design firm, they decided to become sole partners in the super-creative Griffin and Egger Landscape Architecture, with Clifton drawing and fine-tuning plans and consulting with clients and landscape installation firms on construction details. Aside from tending his own landscape, one of Clifton’s most satisfying hobbies is creating finely-crafted woodwork. He and his wife Diana have two grown children, Clif Egger and Samantha Thompson. When Clifton is out of the studio, he’s spending time with his grandchildren!
