RESIDENTIAL DESIGN + INSTALLATION
Your outdoors.
Made for living.
A new patio. A greener lawn. More privacy. Or a complete landscape transformation. We help turn your ideas into a space that feels like home.
Our residential division serves homeowners and custom-home builders within a 30-mile radius of our hometown shop in Cumming, Georgia.
BACKYARD DESIGN
A dream for your yard?
Let’s put it on paper.
Whether you have a design in mind, a few inspiration photos, or just a wish for a better backyard, you’re in the right place.
We meet with you one-on-one at your home, walk the yard together, and talk through how you want to use the space. We take photos and notes, then develop a drawing and plan to help you picture the layout, planting, and outdoor features before installation.
