Featured Reviews for Landscape Architects & Designers in Atlanta

Sears Smith & Associates, Inc.
Landscape Architects & Designers in Atlanta
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 2, 2015
“We used this company to fix a drainage issue in our backyard and add some privacy trees across the back of our property. We were very pleased with results. Chris and his team listened to our needs and concerns and came up with a plan in our budget. We've had several big rains since installation and we no longer have a problem. I would definitely use them again.”
Georgian Landscape Design

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 26, 2012
“GLD not only completely designed my front and back yard, they maintain it on a regular basis. They respond quickly when I contact them. They go above and beyond. I would recommend GLD to anyone that wants the WOW yard. I want to say to the last person that sent in a review and complained: You are an idiot. I have known the owner of this company for years and he has ALWAYS done a fantastic job. He explains what will work and what will not. I know he explained things to you. Your problem is you did not ask the real boss (your wife) before you said to go ahead with the planting. When she did not like it you made up some crap to save face with her or we know who wears the pants. Bottomline it was YOUR FAULT and NOT this company. So to anyone that read his comment please disregard as he has no class or commonsense.”
Park Places Landscape Design - Donna Park, GCLP
Landscape Architects & Designers in Atlanta
Average rating: 4 out of 5 starsMay 11, 2016
“We had a serious drainage problem which prompted the contact. Donna came up with some beautiful solutions and we ended up following her suggestions for hardscape and drainage, as well as plant material. Our goal was to have year round color and a variety of plant materials which we have achieved. Our property is situated near the entrance of our sub division and we have had many passer-by commenting on the beautiful landscape and asking for our designer. We have worked on our project in stages and hope to initiate Donna's ideas for our front entry soon. True to her word, Donna is present on the job site to insure execution is carried out as planned. I would highly recommend Donna.”

“Ryan & Ryan (and their team) are great! They did a full landscape plan for our custom new construction and worked with us on a phased install - both to make sure various parts were installed at an ideal time for growth and to be friendly to our budget. Their knowledge and expertise was great - they took into account our cosmetic/functional preferences and figured out how to make that work with the water, sunlight, shade, etc. around different parts of our lot. Not sure what we love more - driving up to our home every day or hanging out in the back yard with the dog. Thanks guys!”

Professional landscaping anchors a house to the site, connects it with the environment and creates a welcoming entrance to a home. A Atlanta landscape architect or designer works with living plants as well as building materials to design for future growth and maintenance as well as the present visual appeal. Landscape architecture is very regional, so look for a landscape designer in Atlanta, GA that’s familiar with the local climate and plant types that do well there. Start here to learn more about the landscaping services in Atlanta, GA that will help create your dream garden.

What does a landscape architect do?


The work of this outdoor professional includes most everything surrounding a home's exterior. A landscaping architect can even work with the home architect to choose the right spot for your Atlanta, GA house. From there the Atlanta landscaper will develop preliminary concepts for your front or backyard design based on individual needs including the climate and activities that will take place, as well as layouts and planting plans. Landscape architects will also design any structures or outbuildings that will be added to the space. Any grading changes that will be added to the yard are also the responsibility of the architect. This includes any drainage modifications. An engineer can also be responsible for these tasks, but licensed Georgia landscapers are fully capable. Like building architects, they will produce preliminary concept drawings as well as detailed construction documents and planting plans. Three-dimensional renderings and illustrative plans are all supplementary.

What does a landscape designer do?


A Atlanta landscaping designer generally will have ecological, aesthetic and technical training, which helps them maximize the potential of your outdoor space. Keeping in mind both style and functionality, garden designers analyze your architecture and yard to produce a professional landscape design plan that may or may not include location and materials for walkways, patios, water features, fences, garden aspects and more. In addition, a landscaper in Atlanta, GA will carefully assess your geographic region to choose plants, trees and flowers that will flourish naturally, as well as address concerns such as drainage, screening and soil conditions. Certain landscape designing services only help with the planning portion, while some may deliver the plans and then oversee a hired landscaping contractor. Others — typically following a design-build approach — take care of both the design and all aspects of the landscape architecture and construction.

Before you hire a Georgia professional landscaper, consider the scope and emphasis of your outdoor project. Landscape architecture firms typically hire individuals who hold advanced degrees in their field and are trained to develop comprehensive structural plans that include plants, hardscaping, water use, drainage and more. Local landscape designers, also known as landscape planners, typically specialize in the aesthetic and horticultural, rather than structural, side of yard and garden planning. They might or might not have advanced training. Even within their fields, backyard designers may specialize in hardscape- or vegetation-focused designs. In some cases you might need to hire additional help to get the outdoor space you want. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of landscape designers: .

Questions to ask prospective landscapers in Atlanta, GA:


  • Can you provide me with references?
  • How long have you been in the landscaping business?
  • What is your certification?
  • Do you have liability insurance?
  • How much do you charge, and what does that include?
  • What regions and climates are you skilled in?
  • Can you accommodate my special requests (such as ADA or LEED)?

  • What is your experience with similar projects?
  • When can you complete this project?
  • What do your services include?
  • Who will be working on the project design?
  • What happens when costs exceed budget, whether due to materials or labor pricing changes? What about changes made by the client or by the professionals — what kinds of situations would cause those costs to be incurred?
  • Can you provide me with a written estimate?
  • What will I need to provide?
  • Are there any important considerations or concerns that you know of or that might come up in the future with this project?
