01
Existing Site Conditions
The site featured a challenging slope with poor drainage, resulting in water accumulation and limited usable space.
Our Projects
- Project 1
Storm Water Management
The site faced significant soil erosion, with poorly channeled storm water making the backyard difficult to access. The intervention focused on stabilizing the terrain through improved drainage, including the installation of water pipes, along with repairing and extending the existing stairway. These measures not only resolved the functional challenges but also reconnected the space, allowing the homeowner to comfortably access and enjoy the terrace.

Curb Appeal Of A Condominium
A tree stump at the entry point disrupted access and created a visual obstruction for the condominium. After the discussion with the home owner several options for the hardscapes were discussed, then final proposal of stump removal followed by design of path was finalized. The intervention began with the stump removal, followed by the installation of a thoughtfully designed pathway that improved access while enhancing the overall entry experience.
Miscellaneous Project
The homeowners wanted to enrich their existing garden with native planting. A vibrant palette of native perennials was introduced to transform the space into a thriving refuge for pollinators.
Stormwater Management & Outdoor Living
The homeowners approached Roots & Petals to transform their backyard, a challenging site with steep slopes, poor drainage, and ongoing soil erosion that left the space unappealing and non-functional. A detailed analysis showed storm water was collecting on the property and overflowing into the neighboring yard. After presenting several designs and refining a final direction with input from the HOA, we began with site clearing and shrub removal, installed a comprehensive drainage system, constructed a flagstone patio, built retaining walls to stabilize the slopes, and finished with topsoil and turf. The result is a beautiful, functional lawn that can be enjoyed year-round.
The build, step by step
02
Site Clearing & Shrub Removal
Overgrown shrubs were carefully removed to improve access to the basement and prepare the site for redevelopment.
03
Drainage Installation
A comprehensive French drainage system was installed to effectively manage storm water flow and prevent future water logging.
04
Patio Construction & Flagstone Installation
Patio spaces were created and finished with natural flagstone, providing durable and inviting outdoor areas.
05
Retaining Walls & Slope Stabilizing
Retaining walls were constructed and the land carefully graded to stabilize the slope and create level, functional space. Approximately 3 tons of filtered fill soil were added to improve the terrain, followed by topsoil and turf installation to establish a healthy lawn.
06
Completed Landscape
The transformed landscape now offers a practical and beautiful outdoor environment for both homeowners and their pets. Accessible patios and thoughtfully designed spaces provide year-round enjoyment while successfully resolving longstanding site challenges.

What Our Customers Are Saying About Us
I am new to Atlanta. We recently bought a house and I wanted to plant native plants. Roots & Petals came up with a design and plan for the native garden. I have a variety of flowering plants from spring through summer to fall. It’s lovely to see such unique plants, even though they are native.
