New Construction Landscaping in Nashville and Middle Tennessee
Landscape Design and Planting

New Construction Landscaping

Landscape plans and installation timed with builders: grading, drainage, planting, sod and walks for new homes and developments.

A new home sits on a lot that has been stripped, graded and compacted. The soil is hard, the drainage is untested and there is not a single mature plant in sight. Landscaping a new build is a different job from improving an old yard: the grade has to be right, the soil has to be rebuilt and the work has to fit around the builder, the concrete crews and the final inspections. In Nashville, where red clay and fast growth meet, early planning pays off for years.

We work with owners and builders to time landscaping with the other trades. We review the grading plan, correct low spots and drainage, bring in topsoil where it is needed and install sod, beds, trees and shrubs after the heavy work is done. We can also plan irrigation, lighting and stone features so they go in before the lawn does. For builders, we provide clear scopes and reliable schedules that keep closings on track.

Fit the build schedule

Landscaping is timed after heavy equipment and before final inspection or closing.

Fix the grade

We correct low spots and slopes so water moves away from the foundation.

Rebuild the soil

Compacted clay is loosened and topsoil or compost is added where plants will grow.

Start green and strong

Sod, trees and beds are installed with care so the yard establishes well.
