Candler Park-Front Renovation

Uploading some of the work from this past summer/fall. This was a neat little project that got a major clean up and new Palisades Zoysia sod.

A lot of Updates today!

I have been very good at keeping up with "The Landscape Guy" facebook page-not so efficient at updating the blog. Have added photos from the last month and a half or so-been pretty busy! I still have the rest of July booked up and have a good bit of work scheduled in Sept-Oct..but August looks a bit light right now if you have a project you are ready to move forward with.

Candler Park-Back Yard Sod, Tree Removal & Bed Prep

This was a neat install-really nice, small back yard area in Candler Park. I removed a huge old Red Tip Photina (remember those?) to open up some light for the turf and planting areas, then installed Palisades Zoysia as the turf. Also added amended soil to some new bed areas and tilled it in with the native soil.

Chastain Park- Dry Creek Bed Extension & Footbridge

I installed a dry creek bed at this house last summer to alleviate erosion from the back corner of the house to a "real" creek that flows thru the back yard. The homeowner liked the look and decided to extend the creek bed all the way to the driveway in front. They also wanted a way to easily cross the river stones as the walked around the house. This was accomplished with a 2' x 5' slab of Crab Orchard flagstone laid across as a footbridge. The final touch was the addition of pea gravel to improve the appearance of the section of dry creek that was visible from the front parking area.

Settles Point-Suwanee Back Yard Zoysia

I almost left this job off the blog! Following construction of a under deck patio/walkway on this project we installed 4500 sf of Palisades Zoysia here-that is a lot to leave out!

Peachtree Corners/Dunwoody- Windsor Block Wall & Drainage

This client was getting his back yard washed away by all the surface water that entered his lot from the neighbor's yards in back. I installed a drainage system with around 150' of 4" ADS and 3 12" catch basins, then constructed a 100' Windsor Block Wall to corral the water and direct it into the drainage system.

Grant Park Bermuda Sod Install

Some rare (for this summer) over cast and cool weather helped out with this installation in Grant Park. We installed approx 1500 s.f. of 419 Bermuda Sod here.

Suwanee-Settles Point..Windsor Block Wall and Additional Sod

This was the final phase on this project for a while. I re-built and added on to a Windsor block wall installed by the homeowner last year..then filled in all remaining bare front areas with Palisades Zoysia sod.

Candler Park-Little 5 Points...Container Plantings

These clients have a deck that isn't high enough to require a railing, but a walk over the edge might sting a bit. Their solution was to create a barrier with container plantings. They purchased the planters/pots-I went out to check those out then went shopping for a variety of plants to plant them with. The result is a practical and attractive solution that can be changed up with just a little re-arrangement as suited-and changed seasonally.

Suwanee-Settles Point..Under Deck Patio and Walkway Extension

I've been working at this house for over a year now. Initially I did quite a bit of drainage work, then built some timber planters and steps. The clients are finishing up some construction with deck and hot tub additions and wanted a solution for the area under the deck. The finished basement has a door that leads out under the deck and prior to our getting started with this latest project they walked out to a fairly severe dropoff and muddy conditions. They wanted a usable space that would be connected to the previous timber work that ended at the gate leading to the back yard. We decided to enclose the area with a timber retaining wall, which was then backfilled with soil and surfaced with crushed shale. A walkway was built and steps added to tie everything to the steps along the side. You can now walk from the driveway in the front to the back door using the steps, walkway and patio area we constructed. Underneath the deck is now 800 square feet of usable, level space.

Ashford Park Renovation

This recently completed project in the Ashford Park area of Brookhaven was done for Wisdom Properties. New front foundation and accent plants were installed along with the most shade tolerant Zoysia sod available-JaMur. The back yard was seeded with hybrid fescue.
