We plant, trim, and care for your yard all year. ## Why Atlanta Gardens Need Steady Care Atlanta's clay soil holds water badly and packs down fast. This chokes plant roots. Add hot, wet summers and you get fungus and weeds by July. We've worked yards from Grant Park homes to Buckhead estates. We see the same problems a lot. Beds get messy, shaded yards thin out, and fire ants show up by May. Waiting too long means you'll replace plants instead of just trimming them. Small problems in spring turn into big bills by fall if no one checks your yard. Overgrown Hedges Hiding the House Clay Soil Killing New Plants Vegetable Gardens That Never Took Off Shaded Beds Losing Their Color Seasonal Color That Never Gets Swapped Invasive Vines Taking Over the Yard Hedges left alone for a season block windows and walkways. We trim them back before they take over your yard. Georgia red clay drains poorly and smothers roots. Water sits on top instead of soaking in, so roots stay wet and starved for air. This is why so many new shrubs and plants die in their first year here. We fix up beds so new plants can survive. We mix in compost to break up the clay. This gives roots room to grow and lets water move through the soil the way it should. Many homeowners try a garden bed and give up after one bad season. We set them up right the first time. Big oak trees in city neighborhoods block sun from flower beds fast. We pick plants that can handle the shade. Flower beds planted once and left alone look tired by midsummer. Early blooms fade, weeds creep in, and bare spots show by July. Many Atlanta yards end up with bare patches right when guests are outside the most. We swap plants by season so color lasts. We add fresh flowers as weather changes through spring, summer, and fall. That keeps your beds looking full and bright all year. Kudzu and English ivy spread fast around metro Atlanta. We pull it before it covers fences and trees. ## Ten Years of Local Garden Know-How 10 Years Local Licensed & Insured Flexible Scheduling We've worked gardens across Atlanta since 2016.

Hot summers bring bugs and fire ants from May to October. Old oak trees often block grass but work well for shade gardens. Atlanta's red clay and hot summers make gardening harder than most places. We've learned what works here. In Grant Park and Inman Park, big trees mean shade-loving plants do best. In newer neighborhoods, full sun and grass need a different plan. Tree Permits Matter Atlanta protects its trees closely. Removing a tree without a permit from the Arborist Division can cost you up to $1,500 in fines. We know the rules and plan garden work around them, so you never get caught off guard. ## Get Your Garden Back on Track Don't let Atlanta's clay and heat wear your yard down.

We picked the ones that matter most, from watering to bug problems. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q:** How much does gardening service cost in Atlanta? A: Cost depends on your yard size and what it needs. A small bed cleanup costs less than a full plan. We give you a price before any work starts, so there's no surprise. **Q:** How fast can you get to my yard? A: We often come within a few days, sooner in slow months. Spring is our busiest time, so call early. We work Monday through Sunday, 8 AM to 8 PM. **Q:** What happens during a first visit? A: We walk your yard with you and check soil, sun, and plant health. Then we tell you what we'd do and what it costs. Work usually starts on the next visit. **Q:** What's the difference between garden care and outdoor design? A: Garden care keeps your beds healthy with trimming, weeding, and planting. Outdoor design builds a new layout from the start. Most Atlanta yards start with care, then add design later for a bigger change. **Q:** Do you serve all of Atlanta? A: Yes, we cover the whole metro area, including city neighborhoods and suburbs. Our crews know how soil differs between old and new lots. Call us to check your address. **Q:** How do I know my garden needs help? A: Watch for thin grass under trees, yellow leaves, or bare beds by midsummer. Fire ant mounds and creeping vines are warning signs too. Catching these early saves you money. **Q:** Can you set up a vegetable garden in clay soil? A: Yes, we build raised beds or fix the soil so veggies can grow. Clay soil alone rarely works for vegetables. We've built beds across the city that grow well by midsummer.
