Dargan Landscape Architect - Atlanta's Experienced Landscaping

Patchy grass in Atlanta is often due to compacted clay soil, poor drainage, shade issues, or improper irrigation. As landscape architects, we diagnose the root cause—whether it's soil health, grading, or plant selection—and design a comprehensive solution. This typically involves soil amendment, regrading for better drainage, and installing a tailored mix of turfgrass and hardy native ground covers that thrive in our local conditions, creating a lush, uniform lawn.

Frequent timer failures often signal an outdated or poorly designed system. We recommend and install modern smart irrigation controllers that are more durable and can be managed from your phone. More importantly, we design the entire irrigation system—including zoning, head placement, and pressure regulation—for maximum efficiency and longevity, ensuring every part of your landscape gets the right amount of water without overloading the controller.

Our full design service creates a master plan to prevent issues from the start. It includes a detailed site analysis of your soil and drainage, a customized planting plan using disease-resistant and drought-tolerant native plants, and a professionally engineered irrigation system layout. We also specify proper grading and hardscape materials to manage water runoff. This holistic approach builds a landscape that is beautiful, functional, and built to last in our local environment.
