We communicate clearly, deliver on schedule, and keep your priorities central throughout.
Challenges Faced by Landscape Architects in Tennessee
Regulatory Complexity & Stormwater Management
Projects often must comply with both Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) standards and municipal stormwater ordinances. Landscape architects must design effective runoff controls, sedimentation systems, and green infrastructure strategies.
Flooding & Heavy Rain Events
Tennessee is prone to intense storms and flash floods, especially in river basins and valleys. Designs must incorporate robust drainage, permeable hardscaping, retention zones, and resilient grading strategies.
Climate Diversity
From the Appalachian region in East Tennessee to the Cumberland Plateau and beyond, varying elevations bring different frost dates, soil types, and moisture regimes. Planting and irrigation strategies must adapt accordingly.
Soil Variation & Erosion Control
Clay-rich soils in central Tennessee, rocky substrates in the eastern counties, and loam in other regions require distinct approaches to planting, stabilization, and drainage design.
Balancing Development & Preserving Natural Character
Tennessee’s beauty—its forests, rivers, and rolling hills—is a major asset. Successful landscape architecture must balance growth with ecological preservation, integrating corridors, native plantings, and habitat-sensitive design.
What to Expect from a Tennessee Landscape Architect
Following an initial consultation and site evaluation, your Evergreen Design Group landscape architect customizes the design approach based on context and goals. Below are examples of how our services come into play:
