Grantlanta LawnLandscape design and installation in Atlanta.
Beds, shrubs, trees and plantings planned around how you actually use the yard, then installed by the crew that planned them. Free in-person estimates.Beds, shrubs, trees and plantings planned around how you actually use the yard, then installed by the crew that planned them.
BeforeAfterA plan you can see, and a crew that builds it.
- Site walk. Sun, shade, slope, drainage and how you use the space.
- Plant selection. Plants that survive Atlanta clay and heat, native and pollinator friendly where it fits.
- Beds and borders. Shaped, edged and finished with mulch or pine straw.
- Trees and shrubs. Sized for the space so they look right in year five, not just year one.
- Phasing. Bigger plans can be built in stages to fit a budget.
- Install. Abe's crew plants what was planned, then walks it with you.
"We have an understanding of what the job is going to be, how we're going to do it, and the costs are always established beforehand."Grant Wallace, owner
Abe leads our landscape installs. You meet him on the site walk, and he's the one on the job when it goes in.
What we study on the site walk.
Light.
Where the sun is at 9, at noon and at 4. The plant list comes from this, not from a catalog.
Soil and drainage.
A probe in the ground tells us how much clay we are fighting and where water sits after rain.
Sight lines.
What you see from the kitchen window and the front porch. Those views get the money.
Maintenance appetite.
Some people want to garden on Saturdays. Some never want to think about it. The design has to match the owner.
What a design and install is like.
After the walk you get a simple plan: bed shapes, the plant list with quantities, hardscape if any, and a number. For bigger yards we phase it so each stage looks finished on its own.
Abe's crew does the install. Beds get cut and amended first, plants go in sized for year five, then mulch or pine straw. Most front yard installs take one to two days.
We walk it with you and leave a watering schedule. Follow it for the first month and the plants take. Heather checks in after two weeks.
Designing for East Atlanta conditions.
Hydrangea, abelia, loropetalum, native grasses and perennials that do not sulk in clay. We skip the ones that look good at the nursery and die here.
Under the canopy we lean on ferns, hostas, hellebores and evergreen groundcover instead of fighting for grass.
Bungalow fronts are a few hundred square feet. A strong bed line and three or four plant types beat a dozen.

What neighbors say about installs.
Great landscaping service. I worked with Grant and Abe. Both were good at communicating. Abe and his crew fantastic and the result looks awesome. We had a bunch of rock dropped off and the delivery driver nicked our gate but Grant offered to repair it and ordered a replacement part for the fix. That's top notch.
Grantlanta did an excellent job resetting my front and back yard allowing me to keep my sanity given the amount of rain that resulted in a ton of overgrowth. They removed and cleaned everything we discussed and mulched where it needed to be mulched. All was done on time with great attention to detail. I’m very happy with the result, to say the least.
Nice people, quality work, fair pricing and responsive service. What more could you want? Grantlanta has done several big jobs for us in a particularly wild part of our yard, and they always work quickly and without hassle. We’re glad to hire them and support a local company.
Design questions.
Do I need a formal design drawing?
Usually not. Most yards need a clear plan, plant list and a number, which we put together after the site walk. If you want drawings, ask and we will scope it.
What plants do well in Atlanta?
Ones that handle clay soil, summer heat and periodic drought. We lean on natives and proven performers and we will tell you what to avoid.
What does a landscape install cost?
It depends on the beds, the plant sizes and the prep, so we quote in person and the estimate is free. Phasing is always an option.
When is the best time to plant?
Fall and early spring are ideal in Atlanta. We install year round and adjust watering guidance to the season.
Can you work with plants I already have?
Yes. We will tell you what is worth keeping, what to move and what to retire.
How do I pay?
Installation projects take a deposit to get on the schedule, and the balance is due when the job is done. We accept credit and debit cards, ACH, Venmo and Zelle.
