Landscapers New Orleans LA | Call Garden Picasso

We treat standing water as a symptom of a larger system issue. Our process starts with a detailed site analysis to understand your soil composition and grading. For many New Orleans properties, the solution involves a combination of strategic regrading, installing subsurface French drains or dry wells, and creating permeable hardscapes like patios. We focus on moving water away from your home's foundation and into the soil properly, transforming a muddy, unusable area into a dry, functional part of your landscape. It's not just a quick fix; it's about building long-term resilience into your property.

It means we build your landscape from the ground up, literally. Many local soils are compacted or lack organic matter, leading to poor drainage and weak plants. We don't just plant into existing dirt. Our services include soil testing, decompaction, and amending with organic material to create a living, healthy foundation. This regenerative approach ensures your plants—especially native species suited to our climate—develop strong root systems, require less water, and naturally resist pests and diseases. A healthy garden starts with healthy soil.

Yes, we are a full-service design-build firm. From the initial concept for your patio, outdoor kitchen, or retaining wall through to the final installation, our team manages the entire process. This includes all necessary excavation, grading, masonry work, and integration with irrigation and planting plans. This seamless approach ensures the structural and horticultural elements of your project work together as one cohesive, resilient system, saving you time and ensuring the vision in the design is accurately realized in the construction.
