Custom Landscape Design
Our in‑house landscape architect meets you on site to understand how you want to live outside—dining, entertaining, gardening, play, or quiet retreat. We carefully evaluate:
- Sun and shade patterns throughout the day
- Drainage and elevation changes common in Johns Creek’s rolling terrain
- Views toward woods, golf fairways, and neighboring homes
- Privacy needs along fences, rear property lines, and side yards
Using this information, we create a detailed landscape design that feels cohesive and intentional, whether your home is in St. Ives, Seven Oaks, Medlock Bridge, Sugar Mill, or a gated Johns Creek community off Old Alabama or State Bridge. The result is a backyard design that looks thoughtfully planned, not pieced together over time.
Lawn Leveling & Sod Installation
Uneven lawns, builder‑grade turf, and poor drainage are common in both established and newer Johns Creek neighborhoods. Our team:
- Re‑grades problem areas to prevent puddling and runoff
- Protects foundations, driveways, and patios by directing water away from structures
- Installs high‑quality sod varieties suited to Johns Creek’s climate and soil conditions
Within days, your yard has a smooth, green lawn that becomes the foundation for the rest of your renovation and instantly improves curb appeal—whether you’re on a cul‑de‑sac in Seven Oaks or on a wooded lot in River Glen.
Hardscapes & Outdoor Living Spaces
We build hardscapes that extend how and where you can live outside, turning underused yards into comfortable outdoor living spaces. Using premium pavers, natural stone, and decorative concrete, we design and install:
- Patios sized correctly for furniture, grilling, and gatherings
- Walkways connecting doors, side yards, play areas, and garden spaces
- Retaining walls and steps for sloped lots in communities like St. Ives or Ammersee Lakes
- Pergolas and shade structures for sunny backyards in Medlock Bridge, Sugar Mill, or Doublegate
Whether you’re upgrading a small patio or creating a larger entertaining terrace, every structure is engineered for stability and proper drainage so it performs well through Johns Creek’s heavy rains and hot summers.
Drainage & Erosion Control
Johns Creek’s clay soil and frequent storms make drainage a critical part of any serious backyard renovation. We incorporate:
- French drains, channel drains, and swales where needed
- Re‑shaped grades to move water away from the house and gathering areas
- Retaining walls and deep‑rooted plantings to stabilize slopes and creek‑adjacent or low‑lying properties
These measures help protect your foundation, lawn, and plantings while keeping your outdoor spaces usable after storms—especially important in river‑adjacent neighborhoods like River Glen and Ammersee Lakes.
Planting Design & Installation
Plants give your yard character, structure, and year‑round interest. We select trees, shrubs, and perennials that:
- Thrive in Johns Creek’s climate and your specific sun/shade conditions
- Provide privacy and screening between homes in swim/tennis communities like Seven Oaks and Sugar Mill
- Add seasonal color, texture, and form without requiring constant upkeep
From foundation plantings in Medlock Bridge or Doublegate to layered, naturalized edges backing to woods in St. Ives or near the Chattahoochee, we design landscapes that look established from day one and support your larger backyard design.
Outdoor Kitchens & Fire Features
For many Johns Creek families, the backyard is the primary gathering space. We can integrate:
- Built‑in grills and full outdoor kitchens for entertaining
- Stone or brick fire pits and outdoor fireplaces for four‑season use
- Seat walls and integrated lighting around gathering areas
These upgrades turn your backyard into a true outdoor living space, making it easier to host neighbors and friends—while adding long‑term home improvement value and strong appeal for future buyers in Johns Creek’s competitive market.
