Service area · Fulton County
Native-plant design, paver hardscape, drainage, irrigation, lighting, and recurring maintenance. Same crew, same designer, same quality on every Alpharetta project. Avalon · Crabapple Crossing · Crooked Creek.
Alpharetta is where builder-grade landscapes go to age out. We've done 52 yards here since 2009 — the pattern is almost always the same: a 2008–2015 new-construction home where the builder's $4,000 landscape has reached year seven and looks every bit of it. Foundation refresh, outdoor room builds, regrading for positive drainage, and getting the irrigation system (if there is one) actually working. Avalon and Crooked Creek also send us estate-scale full redesigns.
Native azalea
Rhododendron canescens
Survives north-Fulton deer pressure where the imported Asian azaleas get browsed to stubs.
Carolina jessamine
Gelsemium sempervirens
Evergreen vine for the privacy fences and mailbox posts these subdivisions all have.
Anise
Illicium floridanum
Deer-resistant, evergreen, aromatic — the specimen shrub we reach for on north-facing Alpharetta beds.
Little bluestem
Schizachyrium scoparium
Drought-tolerant ornamental grass for the full-sun Alpharetta slopes with compacted builder soil.
Oakleaf hydrangea
Hydrangea quercifolia
Larger specimen we save for the back beds where it can mature — three-season interest and deer-resistant.
Builder-grade compacted fill over red clay — standard on Alpharetta new-construction lots.
Alpharetta lots built between 2000 and 2018 were aggressively graded and the topsoil sold off. What's left is heavily compacted clay fill with almost no organic matter. We typically excavate beds to 10–12" and replace entirely with amended soil before any planting. We also regularly add or extend french drains since builder grading usually pitches toward the house.
Compacted builder fill
Most Alpharetta lots have 2–3" of sod over pure construction fill. Nothing establishes well until you remove the fill and replace with amended bed soil. We cost this into every proposal upfront.
Deer pressure
North Fulton deer are bold and numerous — Crooked Creek and Windward neighborhoods especially. We design with a strict deer-resistant palette and never promise performance on anything that ends up on deer menus.
Builder irrigation systems
Most Alpharetta new-construction homes have a builder-installed irrigation system that was designed for instant sod, not long-term landscape. We audit every system before we plant — controllers, heads, zones — and recommend upgrades if needed.
HOA design standards
Most Alpharetta subdivisions have covenant-governed front-yard design. We've worked with Windward, Crooked Creek, and North Point HOAs and know what gets through the design-review board and what comes back for revision.
Recent Alpharetta projects
Full front and rear foundation tear-out on a 2012 build. 180 sqft of new bed soil, deer-resistant native palette, drip irrigation zones, fresh mulch.
520 sqft Belgard paver patio with an outdoor kitchen rough-in, seat wall, fire-pit pad, and 8-zone irrigation expansion. Native plantings on all three bed sides.
Regraded back lawn that was pitching toward foundation, installed two french drains, extended four downspouts, and restored 4,800 sqft of Bermuda sod.
Our process
One company. Three phases. Same designer at consult, same crew at install, same office calling to schedule the next mow. That’s how a yard you spent fifty thousand dollars on still looks like new five years later.
Design — on paper before a shovel goes in the ground
Free 90-minute consult on site. We listen, measure, photograph, then draft a scaled landscape plan with 3D renderings of the major hardscape. You see the patio before we pour the base.
Build — ICPI-certified, owner-supervised, one crew
Same five-person crew on every project, led by Marcus. Engineered base for every paver. No sub-contractors except licensed electrical and plumbing. Daily site cleanup, project manager on speed dial.
Maintain — the same people who built it keep it
Optional monthly plans starting at $120/mo. Whoever maintains your yard is the same person who designed the beds. Plant warranty extends through the first full year on a Greenline plan.
Homeowner voices
We don’t buy reviews and we don’t buy leads. These are Atlanta-metro homeowners whose yards we’ve put hands on in the last 90 days. Full Google reviews linked from each.
We had three landscapers quote our Buckhead backyard. Greenline was the only one who showed up with a sketchbook and asked what we actually wanted to *do* in the space. Three weeks later we have an outdoor room we use four nights a week.
Caroline & David M.
Marcus designed our front yard in 2017 and Renee has maintained it since 2019. The yard still looks like the day it was installed — actually better, because the maples have filled in. That kind of continuity is hard to find.
Sandeep V.
Belgard paver patio and outdoor kitchen in Alpharetta. They pulled permits, coordinated electrical and gas, and finished on the day they said. The cost was the cost. No change orders, no surprises. We're getting a pool next year — Greenline gets the call.
