Landscape Architect Savannah, GA
Bring Savannah’s Character Into Every Outdoor Design
Every garden, square, and shaded sidewalk in Savannah tells a story. From the canopy of centuries-old live oaks to the scent of gardenias drifting through cobblestone streets, landscapes are woven into the city’s soul. Coastal Georgia landscaping means balancing that historic charm with the practical realities of heat, humidity, salt air, and sudden downpours.
Our Savannah landscape architects create spaces celebrating this heritage while delivering modern performance. Whether it’s a riverfront greenway where residents gather to enjoy the breeze off the Savannah River or a multi-acre development in Chatham County, we design vibrant landscapes that feel timeless, perform beautifully, and stay connected to their surroundings for decades.
Local Landscape Architect Services in Savannah
With more than 20 years of experience designing for diverse environments, our team creates landscapes that capture Savannah’s character while delivering lasting performance.
Our local landscape architecture services include:
Our Conceptual Site Plans (CSPs) show how every part of your property connects—from open spaces to circulation routes. In Savannah, that means meeting stormwater rules, historic district height and setback limits, and tree and landscape requirements.
We position gathering areas in natural shade, link walkways to surrounding streets, and grade sites to move rainwater away from low spots. Each plan meets local codes, reflects Savannah’s style, and works for daily use.
Savannah’s tree canopy is a defining feature, and many mature species, especially live oaks, are protected by local ordinances. Our plans map existing trees, assess health, and outline preservation or mitigation strategies.
We protect canopies whenever possible, designing layouts around root zones and using mature trees as focal points. If removal is unavoidable, we guide clients through mitigation requirements and work with certified arborists for expert evaluations.
Savannah’s gardens are known for vibrant blooms, shaded lawns, and the graceful drape of Spanish moss. Our planting plans build on that timeless appeal, from camellias and gardenias that mark the seasons to perennials like lantana that add depth and movement.
In Savannah’s coastal climate, salt-tolerant plants like wax myrtle keep landscapes beautiful year-round. Each layout accounts for wind, irrigation, and seasonal changes, creating inviting spaces for every season.
Regular rainfall doesn’t always mean consistent moisture, especially with Savannah’s sandy soils. Our irrigation designs group plants with similar water needs into dedicated zones—lawns, shrub beds, and ornamental plantings—so each gets the right amount without waste.
We integrate drip systems for narrow beds, weather-responsive controls to adjust for rainfall, and backflow prevention in compliance with Georgia Environmental Protection Division and city requirements. The result is a system that conserves water, supports plant health, and operates efficiently every season.
Public spaces embody Savannah’s charm—like shaded pavilions in Forsyth Park or open lawns along the waterfront. We design amenities across the city that invite the area’s 148,000 residents to gather, relax, and engage with their surroundings.
Our projects include trails, picnic areas, sports courts, playgrounds, and outdoor workspaces. Each is built for accessibility, low maintenance, and compatibility with the site’s purpose.
Our hardscape designers create brick walkways in the Historic District, plazas for community events, retaining walls, entry monuments, patios, and pool decks. Each design withstands the coastal climate and meets local codes. We choose materials that are slip-resistant in rain, permeable for stormwater control, and durable in salt air, ensuring every space reflects Savannah’s character.
