From bare backyard to showstopper
Planting Design & Installation in North Metro Atlanta
Where Every Day Starts and Ends With a View You Love
Forget the boring, over-pruned bushes you see in most yards. We design colorful, layered plantings that make neighbors take a second look — and make you feel proud every time you step outside.
Our planting designs are curated to stir emotion: lush textures, vibrant color, and year-round beauty that creates connection. To your home. To nature. To the life you’ve worked hard to build.
Neighbors notice. Guests compliment. And you? You feel it, every time you step outside.
Landscapes Built for Porch Time, Backyard Strolls, and Compliments at Sunset
We design plantings that go beyond curb appeal, they pull you outside. Think relaxing afternoons, softly lit paths, and friends commenting on how peaceful your yard has become.

“Our yard has exceeded every expectation.
Todd’s creativity with shade planting, color, and lighting transformed it into a homeowner’s dream. I used to avoid the backyard, now I find myself outside more than I have in the last 15 years.”
