Decatur sits about 32 miles northwest of our Covington base, a straight run up I-20 into the heart of intown DeKalb County. The properties here, from craftsman bungalows in Oakhurst and Winnona Park to renovated homes near Decatur Square, are mostly mature and established, and the landscaping has to fit that. We work around old trees and tight lots to bring established yards back up to where they should be.
Most Decatur work is renovation, not new construction. We update established yards, fix the drainage that comes with old trees and red clay, and fit hardscape to homes that already have a lot of character.

Learn more ›Decatur is an established intown city, not a new suburb. The historic core around Decatur Square sets the tone, and the neighborhoods that ring it are mostly mature: craftsman bungalows in Oakhurst and the MAK district on McDonough, Adams, and Kings Highway, the tree-lined streets of Winnona Park near Agnes Scott College, and the older homes of Clairemont-Great Lakes and Lenox Place. Almost everything we do here is renovation on a property that has been landscaped before, which is a different job than starting from bare dirt. A plan that works on a new build in a far suburb looks wrong on a 1920s Decatur bungalow, so we fit the work to the home and the block.
The mature tree canopy that makes Decatur Decatur is also the source of most of the problems we get called for. Old oaks and sweetgums push surface roots that lift grade and crack poured concrete, and the dense red clay underneath drains slowly, so water sits where it should not. Natural stone handles that movement better than a rigid slab, which is why travertine steps, bluestone landings, and paver patios are so common here. We set everything on a proper compacted base, work carefully around protected root zones, and grade so runoff moves off the clay and away from older foundations.

Yes. We pay attention to the architecture and the neighborhood before planning any project. Decatur's craftsman bungalows, foursquare homes, and mid-century properties have a different aesthetic than newer suburban construction, and the landscaping should reflect that. We select plantings and hardscape materials that work with the home's style. If you have a specific look in mind, tell us when you call and we will discuss what fits before the estimate visit.
Yes. Natural stone steps and paver patios are among our most common projects in Decatur. We install travertine steps, bluestone landings, flagstone paths, and paver patios on a proper compacted base with edge restraints and drainage considered from the start. Stone work in Decatur often involves working around mature tree roots and existing grade changes, which requires care in the excavation and base preparation stages.

Yes, and on most Decatur properties that is the whole job. The big oaks and sweetgums in neighborhoods like Oakhurst, Winnona Park, and Clairemont-Great Lakes have spreading surface roots that lift grade, crack rigid concrete, and make planting and drainage tricky. We dig and route around protected root zones, use flexible hardscape like stone and pavers where movement is a factor, and grade so water clears the compacted clay instead of pooling against the foundation. Tell us what you are dealing with when you call and we will plan the work around the trees you want to keep.
