Completed

If you want more out of the space around your house, we can help. Our team can design, plan and build the whole thing, or just the part you are stuck on.

That covers planting and foliage, irrigation, outdoor lighting, and hardscape features such as walls, paver patios, fireplaces and fountains. Most jobs use several of those at once, which is the argument for having one company hold the drawing and the schedule.

Built by people who do it every day

Our staff is ICPI certified and the installation crews train regularly, so a patio is set properly and a retaining wall is engineered rather than stacked. For larger walls we can provide the engineered drawings and work through the permitting so the job stays on schedule. As a licensed general contractor in Tennessee we can also take on the masonry, grading and structures that sit alongside the planting.

Plants we have already been looking after

A good deal of the plant material is grown or held here in our own nursery, and the rest is selected to nursery standards from growers around the country. Either way it is cared for by our nursery staff on the farm until your site is ready, so plant health is monitored right up to the day it goes in the ground rather than starting the clock on a lorry.

After dark, and after we leave

Low-voltage LED lighting extends the hours you can actually use the garden, and adds security while it does it. Irrigation protects the investment against a dry summer. Both are systems rather than objects, so we service what we install.
