Hardscaping

The built elements that give a yard its structure: retaining walls, walkways, patios, and one-of-a-kind pieces like our security-vault mailboxes. This is the backbone of most of the projects we take on around Atlanta.

The "Amazon Vault" Mailbox : Atlanta Waterscapes built a stone mailbox in Tucker, GA with a hidden bank vault door on the back to keep packages safe from porch pirates.
Townhouse Patio Solutions : Atlanta Waterscapes fixed a muddy townhouse yard with a three-sided stone wall, crushed slate and a reverse swale that keeps water off the foundation.
The Mailbox: Security Vaults and Architectural Statement Pieces : Atlanta Waterscapes shows how a masonry mailbox can add security and curb appeal, from a vaulted package drop to planters and a stucco repair.

Landscaping

Planting and grading that work with the Georgia terrain instead of against it, from an 1,800-plant walkway to taming steep and difficult lots.

Taming the Georgia Terrain : Atlanta Waterscapes built a stone staircase of 18 inch deep steps down a steep Georgia slope to a backyard fire pit finished with slate gravel.
The 1,800-Plant Walkway : Atlanta Waterscapes planted over 1,800 Dwarf Mondo Grass plants between stepping stones to create a green walkway that handles foot traffic.

Patios
