What We’ve Been up to - Summer Highlights in Atlanta
We’ve had an exciting season bringing life to landscapes across Atlanta—from shaded front yards to historic estates. Here’s a peek at a few favorite transformations:
1. Emory Village Front Yard Revival
Style: Charming + Functional | Goal: Low-maintenance curb appeal
This historic Atlanta bungalow got a front yard refresh with clean lines and natural textures:
Radial bluestone patio filled with green groundcover for softness and structure
Meandering stone path through freshly planted beds of Heuchera, Boxwoods, and shade perennials
New sod installation to unify the space and boost curb appeal
Now, the space welcomes both guests and neighbors with elegance and ease.
2. Buckhead Side Garden
Style: Modern + Natural | Goal: Create beauty in a shaded, overlooked side yard
This tucked-away space next to a sleek modern home was transformed into a serene garden escape:
Shade-tolerant layering of ferns, hydrangeas, boxwoods, and hostas for texture and movement
Symmetrical structure with boxwood borders to balance the wild woodland edge
Crisp mulch beds that define the garden and enhance moisture retention
The result? A clean yet lush path that blends seamlessly with the forested surroundings.
3. Downtown Decatur Lawn & Path Restoration
Style: Timeless + Estate-Inspired | Goal: Respect and refresh a classic Southern garden
In one of Atlanta’s most iconic neighborhoods, we refreshed the heart of a backyard rooted in history:
Full sod replacement for a rich, lush lawn that honors the geometry of the old garden
Brick and stone path rejuvenation to preserve original hardscape charm
Understory cleanup + new stepping stones to make the shade garden inviting and walkable again
Classic meets clean—a careful upgrade that protects the past while making room for the present.
4. Backyard Entertaining Space in Decatur
Style: Clean + Contemporary | Goal: Maximize function and flow for a family-friendly yard
This Decatur backyard was designed with everyday living and entertaining in mind. We transformed an open lawn into a multi-use outdoor retreat with timeless materials and family-friendly structure.
Features Include:
Modern rectangular bluestone patio with a granite cobble edge for contrast and polish
Low-maintenance garden beds featuring rosemary, ornamental grasses, and evergreen shrubs
Defined zones for grilling, dining, and relaxing without sacrificing open play space for the kids
Improved circulation and flow between the back door, patio, and lawn
