Our Landscape Design Process
Consultation: We start with a free on-site visit to understand your vision, budget, lifestyle, and how you use your outdoor space.
Design: We develop a custom plan that accounts for Nashville’s transition zone climate, clay soils, sun and shade patterns, drainage, and seasonal rainfall. Every design includes a plant list with species rated for our zone.
Installation: Our crew handles every aspect from soil amendment and planting to irrigation and mulching.
Follow-Up Care: We provide a maintenance guide specific to your new landscape and offer ongoing services.
Plants That Thrive in Nashville
Nashville’s four-season climate (USDA Zone 7a) supports a wide diversity of plants. We commonly work with native and adapted species including:
Trees: Eastern redbud, flowering dogwood, tulip poplar (Tennessee’s state tree), red maple, white oak, crape myrtle, and bald cypress.
Shrubs: Oakleaf hydrangea, Virginia sweetspire, beautyberry, winterberry holly, spicebush, and ninebark.
Groundcovers and Grasses: Liriope, mondo grass, switchgrass, little bluestem, Tennessee coneflower, and creeping phlox.
Perennials: Black-eyed Susan, purple coneflower, bee balm, Tennessee coneflower (Echinacea tennesseensis — native only to Middle Tennessee), daylilies, and hosta for shade.
Evergreens: Eastern red cedar, American holly, Japanese cryptomeria, and Southern magnolia for year-round structure.
Designing for Nashville’s Clay Soil
Middle Tennessee’s heavy clay is the biggest challenge for landscape design in Davidson County. Clay holds moisture and can suffocate roots if not properly amended. We incorporate organic matter, proper grading, and raised bed techniques where needed. We also select plants that naturally tolerate clay conditions — many Tennessee natives have evolved to thrive in exactly these soils.

FAQ — What does your landscape design process look like in Nashville?
We start with a consultation to understand your vision, budget, and how you use your outdoor space. From there we develop a custom design plan that accounts for Nashville’s intense summer heat, clay and clay soils, and Metro Water Services water restrictions. Once you approve the design, our team handles full installation from start to finish.
FAQ — What plants work best for Nashville landscape design?
Nashville’s semi-arid climate is ideal for drought-tolerant Tennessee natives. We commonly design with Tennessee sage, live oak, Mexican sage, agave, lantana, black-eyed Susan, and esperanza — plants that thrive in clay and clay soils, require minimal supplemental water, and provide year-round color.
