Frequently Asked Questions
How does Southern Gardener handle standing water and poor grading issues common in Atlanta yards?
We address Atlanta's frequent drainage problems through specialized grading and drainage solutions integrated into our landscape design. During our initial site assessment, we evaluate water flow and soil conditions to identify trouble spots. We then implement corrective measures such as regrading, installing French drains, or creating retention areas, often incorporating these into features like terraced retaining walls or dry creek beds. This not only solves the water issue but enhances the overall landscape design, preventing erosion and creating a healthier yard.
What does your landscape design and construction process involve?
Our process starts with a thorough consultation and site assessment to understand your goals, property layout, and local conditions like Atlanta's soil and climate. We then create a custom design plan that may include hardscape elements (e.g., patios, walkways, walls) and softscape plantings. Once approved, our experienced team handles all construction and installation, from groundwork and material acquisition to final planting and pruning. We manage every phase, ensuring the project aligns with our 15+ years of expertise in landscape renovation and construction.
Do you offer services for building exterior features like driveways and walls?
Yes, we provide comprehensive hardscape construction, including driveway installation, exterior and interior wall building, and retaining walls. Our team handles the entire process—from design and material selection to skilled construction—ensuring these features are durable, functional, and aesthetically integrated into your overall landscape. For example, we often build retaining walls that not only define spaces but also address grading issues, making them a practical solution for many Atlanta properties.
