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.

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.

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.

Chastain Park-Bryn Mawr Lane-Completed

Chastain Park-Bryn Mawr Lane

This project was done over the course of a few months. Delays from winter weather, tree cutting permits from the city and some buried septic tank issues delayed us a few times but the job went smoothly and turned out nicely. The entire landscaped area of the property was irrigated, new front foundation and some new plantings in the back were added..a flagstone patio and stacked fieldstone wall with new masonry veneer on some existing steps were parts of a fairly extensive hardscape project. Fescue sod was installed in back and Palisades zoysia sod for the front lawn.

West End Renovation

This client purchased a home in the historic West End area of Atlanta to renovate as a rental property. I had a pretty tight budget to work with-so we concentrated on the front foundation-curb appeal. I brought in topsoil to create some raised beds in from and implemented a planting design.
