Local Business Overview

River Tides in St. Marys, GA, is a landscaping business founded by Erin Welsh, who brings a unique blend of technical expertise and certified landscape design skills to the local community. After a 30-year career in technology, Erin earned a Landscape Design Certificate from Emory University in 2022 and furthered her education with UGA, specializing in plants suited for Zone 9a's salty, sandy soil, intense sunlight, and unpredictable weather. She started the business to address the common frustration of finding someone with both vision and execution ability for yard projects. River Tides focuses on creating low-maintenance, hardy landscapes using native plants as much as possible, tailored to each client's lifestyle and property conditions. Services include gardening, patio and walkway construction, landscape design and maintenance, lawn care, shrub care, and more, with a crew ready to install dream outdoor spaces.
