Verdant Row designs, builds and looks after residential gardens and outdoor living spaces. Every job starts with a site visit and a written plan, so you know what is going where before a single bed is cut.
Most gardens get made a piece at a time. A patio one year, some shrubs the next, sprinklers when the lawn starts to brown. Each piece is fine and the whole never quite adds up.
We work the other way round. We look at the property as one place, draw it, agree the scope with you in writing, and then build it in phases. When the building is done we can keep looking after it, so the garden you paid for is still the garden you have a few years on.
Three services make a garden and three keep it. Each has its own page with what is involved and what to have ready.
The order matters. Nothing is built until it has been drawn and agreed.
How a job runsWe come to the property, walk it with you and look at what is there now. This comes first on every job, whatever its size.
You receive a plan and a written scope that sets out what will be done. Nothing starts until you have it.
The work is scheduled in phases rather than all at once, so each stage is finished properly before the next begins.
The same crew lead stays with your job from the first phase to the last. You are not explaining your garden again to someone new each time.
Three rules sit behind every plan we draw. They are the reason a Verdant Row garden tends to look settled rather than installed.
We choose plants that suit the Tennessee Valley climate, natives among them. A plant that is right for the place needs less rescuing and looks at home.
Stone, gravel and other materials are sourced regionally where we can. A patio tends to sit more quietly in a garden when its stone comes from the same part of the country.
A garden is only as good as its upkeep. We design with the looking after in mind, so what we plant and build can be kept in shape without heroics.
We take on gardens in the five places listed here. If you are not sure whether your street falls inside, ask when you get in touch and we will tell you straight.
Listed in no particular order. We work in all five.
Tell us about the property and what you have in mind. The first step is always a site visit, and the written plan and scope follow from it.
