How We Work

From site reading to final planting, every phase is deliberate. We do not hand off drawings and disappear — we are on the land with you through installation.

Step 1: Site Consultation

Site Consultation

Call us at or reach out through our contact form. We schedule a site visit to read the grade, existing canopy, drainage patterns, and soil character. You will leave the first meeting with a clear sense of direction — not a sales pitch.

What Our Clients Say

4.8 average from 8 reviews

"Earth Design completely transformed our backyard. The stone patio and native plant beds look like they've always been there. They designed it and built it themselves, and you can tell the difference. The installation crew knew the plan inside out."

"We'd been through two contractors who couldn't match our vision. Earth Design listened, designed something specific to our sloped lot, and built exactly what they drew. The retaining walls and plantings are beautiful and the drainage actually works now."

"The planting design Earth Design put together for our front yard is gorgeous in every season. They chose plants I'd never heard of that are clearly thriving. No replacements needed, no dead spots in August. Just a landscape that works."

"From the first site visit to the last day of installation, Earth Design was professional and precise. They answered every question and never made us feel like we were being handed off. One team, start to finish. Exactly what we needed."

"Earth Design's native plant landscape has been in the ground for almost a year now and it looks better than it did at installation. The plants they selected are clearly suited to our Upstate climate. My neighbors keep asking who did the work."

"I hired Earth Design after a bad experience with a firm that designed one thing and installed something completely different. Earth Design does both, and the finished product matched the drawings exactly. The stonework alone was worth every dollar."

"The landscape architecture plan Earth Design produced for our property was unlike anything we'd seen. It was specific to our lot, our house style, and the way we actually use the yard. When they built it, it came out exactly as drawn. Really impressive."

Patrice Norwood

"Earth Design helped us rethink a sloped backyard that we'd given up on. The site design addressed the drainage problems we'd had for years, and the finished landscape is something we actually enjoy spending time in. The team was thorough and easy to work with."
