Services
Landscape Design
Our landscape design service creates customized outdoor environments combining aesthetics and functionality. Using Vizterra 3D modeling software, we develop detailed plans that incorporate existing structures, topography, and client preferences. With expertise in plant selection and hardscape integration, we transform ordinary spaces into cohesive, sustainable landscapes that enhance property value and usability.
Stone Masonry
Professional stone masonry services construct durable outdoor features using natural and manufactured materials. We build retaining walls, patios, fire pits, and walkways that withstand Atlanta's climate while adding architectural interest. Our craftsmen ensure precise installation techniques that prevent shifting and maintain structural integrity for decades of enjoyment.
Drainage Solutions
Specialized drainage solutions address water accumulation issues through strategic grading and infrastructure. We install dry creek beds, French drains, and surface channels to redirect runoff from roofs and driveways. Our systems prevent basement flooding and soil erosion while integrating seamlessly with landscape aesthetics using natural stone and vegetation.
3D Design Plans
3D design visualization creates accurate digital representations of proposed landscapes using Vizterra software. This technology builds virtual models of existing properties with precise architectural details, allowing clients to explore design elements before construction. The interactive format facilitates adjustments to hardscape placement, plant selection, and spatial relationships for optimal outcomes.
Wood Decks
Custom wood deck construction expands outdoor living spaces with durable, stylish structures. We build decks with complementary pergolas, privacy screens, and integrated seating using premium materials. Our designs consider drainage requirements and maintenance accessibility while creating seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor entertaining areas.
