Outdoor Living & Landscape Design in North Georgia

Outdoor living is where site work becomes something you sit in. Because we've already handled the grading and drainage, the patio sits at the right elevation, the lawn drains, and the planting has soil worth growing in.

What we see most often

  • Patios that pond water or settle unevenly
  • Beautiful plantings installed over compacted construction fill
  • Lawns that stay soggy in the same corner every year
  • No lighting, so the whole investment disappears at dark

Scope of work

What this work includes

01

Patios & hardscape

Bluestone, flagstone, pavers and concrete set on compacted base with pitch that moves water away from the house.

02

Structures & fire features

Pavilions, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces and fire pits integrated with the grade instead of set on top of it.

03

Planting & lawn

Soil rebuilding, native and adapted plantings, tree installation and durable turf established the right way.

04

Lighting & irrigation

Low-voltage lighting for drives, entries, trees and steps, plus irrigation zoned for how the property is actually used.

Space that pulls you outside after dinner, and still looks right after a decade of weather.
