Featured Projects
Midtown Haven
Vedado
Midtown Atlanta, GAThis backyard redesign was about starting fresh. After decades in a Manhattan apartment, the homeowners moved to Atlanta and sought a calm, modern outdoor space that offered privacy, low maintenance, and a welcoming layout for their dog. The existing backyard — cluttered with old hardscape, dense overgrowth, and a deteriorating shed — needed a complete overhaul. The vision was clear: create a sleek, contemporary retreat with clean lines, practical features, and a sense of serenity.
Lush Outdoor Living Space
Clairemont
Decatur, GAThis project centered on transforming a disjointed and underused backyard into a cohesive outdoor living space that complemented the character of an early 1900s home. The goal was to replace two bulky decks with a unified area that balanced historical charm and modern convenience. Key features included a paver patio, outdoor kitchen, seasonal versatility, green space, and pet-friendly design—all while adhering to strict city ordinances.
