A thoughtfully planned and well-maintained landscape enhances beauty, increases value and makes your home a haven.

Since 1992, Old South Landscaping has partnered with homeowners across Nashville to create landscapes that are as unique as the families who enjoy them. Because every project is unique, we tailor our designs to put the right plants in the right places, so that trees, shrubs, perennials and groundcovers thrive. And with our full range of maintenance services, we make sure your landscape stays healthy, vibrant, and worry-free for the long term. The result is a landscape that not only looks beautiful on day one but continues to bring joy, value, and lasting appeal year after year.

Our Residential Landscaping Fundamentals

Our team works tirelessly to be Nashville’s go-to local residential landscaping company. The foundation of our success is a relentless pursuit of excellence. We ensure customer satisfaction with our high-quality landscaping products and services.

Horticultural Integrity

Based on a depth of experience, horticultural knowledge and an emphasis on native plants, we only recommend plant species that will flourish in your unique space and meet your aesthetic and functional needs. We believe in attention to detail and aren’t into quick fixes or short cuts that could undermine the integrity of your landscape.

Sophisticated Design

To create an elegant landscape that is visually pleasing and functionally sound all year round, we take into account your aesthetic and practical preferences. We layer big anchor plantings with seasonal color accents and a diverse range of foliage. Picture beautiful pink peonies in bloom in the spring and the vibrant, textural mums in the autumn. The landscapes we create are constantly evolving, offering fresh experience as you enjoy your yard all year.

Premium Products

Healthy plant growth begins with premium materials. We start with superior plant specimens and provide ample weed control, fertilization and irrigation. Our residential landscapes are designed to thrive, and the products we apply deliver outstanding results, lasting longer and requiring fewer applications.
