01 · Design and planning

Every project starts on paper.

We survey the site, study drainage, sun and views, and draw a concept plan you can walk through in 3D before anything gets built.

  • Site survey and drainage study
  • Concept plan with two rounds of revisions
  • 3D views of the key spaces
  • Construction drawings and a planting plan
Design fee$6,500 to $18,000Timeline3 to 6 weeksCreditHalf the fee comes off your build

02 · Stone and hardscape

Set by our own masons, on a base built for Georgia clay.

Terraces, walls, steps, drives and paths. We dig deeper and drain better than code asks, so stone stays flat through wet winters.

  • Bluestone, granite, travertine and brick terraces
  • Seat walls and engineered retaining walls
  • Steps, paths and drives
  • Drainage built into every base
Typical investment$60,000 to $300,000Build time4 to 14 weeksWarranty5 years

  • Fountains, rills and water walls
  • Decks, coping and outdoor showers
  • Equipment screened from view

05 · Lighting

Light the garden, not the neighbors.

We light the paths you walk, the trees you love and the face of the house, and aim every fixture so glare stays out of windows.

  • Lighting plan and a night mock-up before install
  • Path, step and facade lighting
  • Tree uplights and moonlighting
  • Smart timers with phone control

  • Trees, shrubs, perennials and lawn
  • Drip irrigation zoned by plant type
  • Care visits every two to four weeks

Most gardens combine three or four of these. A 90-minute site walk sorts out what you need and what it costs.
