Landscape Design and Outdoor Living in Green Hills

Making the Most of a Green Hills Lot

Lots here are generous by city standards but smaller than the estates in Belle Meade, and the houses on them have grown. That makes every part of the yard count. A well planned back yard can hold a patio for dinners outside, a fire feature, a stretch of lawn and planting that gives privacy from the neighbors, without feeling crowded.

• Patios and terraces sized for the way you entertain
• Privacy planting along shared property lines
• Front entries and walks that suit the house
• Lighting for evenings on the patio and a welcoming front at night

New Builds on Established Streets

When a new house goes up on an older lot, the yard that comes with it is usually just grading, sod and a few shrubs. We design the landscape the house deserves: a finished back yard, planting that softens the new architecture and blends it into a street of mature trees, and drainage that handles the extra roof and hard surface water a larger house sends into the yard.

Working Under Mature Trees

Many Green Hills yards sit under large oaks and maples. That shade is part of the neighborhood's character, and it shapes the design: planting that thrives in shade, patios placed to protect root zones, and lighting that shows off the trees after dark. We plan the work around the trees you want to keep.

Rolling Ground and Drainage

The name is honest: much of the area is rolling, and many lots fall from front to back or side to side. A retaining wall or a set of terraces can turn a slope into usable space, and grading and drainage keep water moving away from the house and the patio.

Care After the Build

Our property care team can look after the finished landscape on a regular schedule: lawn, beds, shrubs, mulch, seasonal cleanups and leaf removal in the fall, when a Green Hills canopy drops a lot of leaves.
