Smyrna-Glen Pointe

There were two concerns for these homeowners when they contacted me. The first was that the original plantings around their front porch had grown to the point that the porch seemed "walled in"..and they had become hard to maintain. The idea was to tear all of that out and replace with a design that would keep the porch open and airy. The second issue was a growing hardwood on the corner shading out the Bermuda turf-my solution for this was to extend the bed down towards the fire hydrant and creat a new bed line that would keep the healthy grass in place. I planted GG Gerbing Azaleas and Sarcococca in this shaded area.

Upcoming Winter Projects-

Top photo is a pretty large job for me-in the Chastain Park area. It will involve tree removal, a 10 station irrigation system and new front landscaping (Plants & Sod). The back will get some sod, stepping stones and a nice cleanup. The bottom photo is a house in Smyrna-they have grown a bit tired of their original front landscaping and I will be ripping out all of the existing plants and installing all new plants -extending a bed-adding some stepping stones and a nice container for the front entrance.

Smyrna-Cooper Oaks

This was a pretty cool job-I like working with stone. I did some edging of some back beds with Tennessee Ruble milled stone and some flagstone steps laid over jute mat in a problem area. Also addressed some drainage issues and did some irrigation realignment (moving heads-checking for coverage) while I was out.

Vinings Clean Up & Pruning

This was a one day clean up (although I had been out twice before to spray herbicide in preparation). Back yard had gotten a little out of hand-wish I had true "before" photos before I started the spraying. Pretty simple-used a weedeater to mow down all the dead weeds up on the top ledge and in the ivy beds..put down some pine straw and did some pruning-cut back the English Laurel pretty severely-they had gotten really out of scale in the landscape. Japanese Maple needed a lot of dead cut out and some hollies needed a haircut.
