Once recognized as Atlanta’s Best Backyard, this project is a showcase of how beauty and technical precision can coexist. With both a private pond and direct lake frontage, the property demanded a design that was not only visually stunning but also environmentally responsible. Careful grading, retaining walls, and stormwater solutions protect the site’s delicate ecosystem while enhancing its natural features. The design respects the flow of water across the property, from dams to drainage, ensuring long-term resilience. At the same time, the refreshed exterior and layered landscape create a setting that feels elegant, and deeply connected to its surroundings. This project demonstrates how thoughtful design can honor the environment while delivering a space worthy of recognition.
