Consultation & Planning

Starting with your vision, we combine our horticultural knowledge with what we learn from your specific site conditions to provide landscape planning with solid recommendations on the plantings that will thrive in your space.

Landscape Design

During the design process, our designers create professional landscape design plans for your home that will guide the development of your landscape now and years into the future. We can incorporate features like irrigation and hardscapes into your design plan, ensuring your landscape is beautiful, sustainable and built for everyday function. If you already have plans or renderings from a landscape architect, our team can seamlessly work with them to bring your vision to life.

Plant Selection

We select high-quality cultivars that will meet the needs of your space and uphold your vision. Because we believe in gardens that are long-lasting and sustainable, we lean heavily on the use of native plants that have adapted to local soil conditions and weather patterns.

Installation

For both all-new installations and those that integrate with existing plants and hardscapes, we take special care with your property. We prepare the soil, dig holes for optimal plant depth and finish with appropriate mulch, fertilizer and irrigation to ensure success. Our team also builds the hardscape elements included in your design with the same attention to detail and craftsmanship.

Follow-Up & Maintenance

We make sure your newly installed plants are rooting well and receiving the right amount of nutrients and water. To keep your landscape thriving long after installation, we also offer ongoing residential landscape maintenance services tailored to your property’s needs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Residential Landscape Design

  • What is the cost of landscape design services in Nashville?

    The cost of landscape design services in Nashville can vary depending on the size of your property, the complexity of the design, and the types of features you want to include. Simple garden bed updates may be more affordable, while full-scale projects with hardscapes, irrigation, or outdoor living spaces represent a larger investment. At Old South, we provide clear, customized estimates so you’ll know exactly what your project will cost before work begins. This way, you can make informed decisions and choose a design that fits both your vision and your budget.

  • Should I hire a landscape designer for my home landscaping project?

    Working with a professional landscape designer can make a big difference in the success of your outdoor areas. A professional has the expertise to evaluate your property’s unique conditions, such as soil, slope, drainage, and sun exposure, and then create a plan that makes the most of those factors. In addition to choosing the right plants, a designer can also integrate hardscapes, irrigation, and functional features to ensure your landscape is both beautiful and practical. Hiring a designer helps you avoid costly mistakes, ensures your investment lasts, and gives you a clear plan that guides installation now and in the future.
