Reliable reference sources describe him as a major figure in garden and landscape design, and his work is associated with projects such as Mariebjerg Cemetery and other notable Danish parks and gardens.
He is remembered not only for completed landscapes but also for the way he helped raise garden design to the level of an art form in Denmark.

He died on April 30, 1945. Public records and reference listings also note honors including the Eckersberg Medal and appointment as a Knight of the Order of the Dannebrog.
