That's not just a detail on a contact page. It's why we can get out to look at a property quickly, why our crews aren't burning an hour of daylight before the first job, and why if something needs a second visit, a second visit isn't a scheduling problem.

Custom Property Work in Bloomingdale
Bloomingdale has a bit of everything - older homes on generous in-town lots, wooded acreage outside of town, and new construction filling in around it. Those properties don't need the same things.
Our custom work includes clearing and reclaiming overgrown ground, full bed design and installation, landscape restoration on established properties, privacy and screening plantings, front-entry and driveway landscaping, grading for lots that hold water, and site prep for whatever you're building next.
Tell us what you've got and what you want it to be. We'll tell you what it takes, what it costs, and whether it makes sense to do in stages.
What Working With Us Looks Like
People get burned by contractors often enough that it's worth being plain about how this goes.
1. We come look at it. Quotes for this kind of work don't happen accurately over the phone. We walk the property with you, listen to what's been bothering you, and look at what's actually going on - soil, drainage, what's growing where, what's realistic.
2. You get a written quote. Itemized, with material included, so you can see what you're paying for. If there's a cheaper way to get most of the result, we'll tell you what it is. If something you're asking for won't work, we'll tell you that too - that conversation is cheaper before the job than after.
3. We agree on scope and timing. Including whether it makes sense to phase the work. Plenty of properties are better served by doing beds this spring and plantings in the fall than by doing everything at once, and fall is genuinely the better planting window here.
4. We do the work and clean up after ourselves. Debris hauled off, drives and walks blown clean, material staged where it isn't in your way. The cleanup is part of the job, not a favor.
5. We stand behind it. If something isn't right, tell us and we'll come back. Being ten minutes away makes that easy.

Choosing Your Materials
Mulch and rock aren't one product each, and the choice makes a real difference in cost, appearance, and how often you're redoing it.
Mulch
-
Hardwood mulch - The common all-purpose choice. It knits together well, stays put on a slope, and breaks down into the soil, which genuinely improves beds sitting on poor or compacted ground.
-
Pine bark - Available in nuggets or a finer grind. Good-looking and long-lasting, but nuggets float. In a bed that takes roof runoff or sits low, you'll find them in the yard after a hard rain.
-
Dyed mulch - Black, brown, and red. Sharp-looking when fresh and popular in newer neighborhoods. Expect the color to fade over a season, faster in full sun, so plan on refreshing it annually if the look matters to you.
-
Pine straw - Common across the region and inexpensive per application. It breaks down fast in this heat and blows out of exposed beds, so it usually needs doing two or three times a year. Under pines and in natural-looking beds it fits the setting better than anything else.
Decorative Rock
-
River rock - Smooth, rounded, and the most common decorative choice. Holds up well in beds that take runoff.
-
Crushed granite and gravel - Angular, so it locks together and stays put better than river rock on any kind of slope.
-
Marble and white chips - Bright and high-contrast. They show dirt and organic debris more than darker material, so they need periodic cleanup to keep looking sharp.
A general note on rock: it doesn't break down, which is the appeal, but it also doesn't feed the soil and it holds heat around plants in full sun. It's at its best along foundations, in accent areas, and where drainage is the main concern - and in heavily planted beds you intend to keep adding to, mulch is usually the better call.
On landscape fabric: it earns its place under rock and in low-planting areas. In a planted bed you'll keep adding to, it becomes a nuisance within a few years - mulch breaks down on top of it into a seedbed and weeds root right through. Pre-emergent is often the better option there. We'll tell you which makes sense bed by bed rather than defaulting to fabric everywhere.

We come look at the property, talk through what you want, and send a written, itemized quote with material included. No charge for the visit and no obligation.
Depends on the season - spring is the busiest stretch by a wide margin, and winter is the most open. If you're planning clearing, grading, or drainage work, scheduling it for the cooler months usually means getting on the calendar faster.
Yes. Bloomingdale has plenty of acreage and wooded lots, and we're equipped for clearing, brush removal, and equipment work. Tell us roughly the acreage and condition when you reach out - photos help a lot.
Brush, overgrowth, saplings, and small trees. Mature trees need a dedicated tree service with the right rigging and insurance, and we'll tell you when a job falls into that category.
Yes, and it's in the quote. On clearing and cleanup jobs, dealing with what's left is the real work, and it should be priced up front rather than come as a surprise.
Yes - bed cleanouts, mulch and rock installation, seasonal cleanups, shrub replacement, grading, drainage, clearing, and site prep, on a one-time or recurring basis. We also work with builders and contractors.
Once a year, usually in spring. Heat, humidity, and heavy rain break organic mulch down faster here than in cooler climates. Two to three inches is plenty, pulled back from stems, trunks, and your foundation.
Fall for shrubs and trees, so roots establish before their first summer. It's the single most useful piece of timing advice for this climate.
Georgia's Water Stewardship Act limits landscape watering from public water systems to between 4 p.m. and 10 a.m., year-round. New plantings are exempt for their first 30 days - exactly when they need it most. Drip irrigation, soaker hoses, hand-watering with a shut-off nozzle, and private well water are also exempt. Drought conditions can bring tighter rules.
