Planting beds planned for every season
Clint Tucker grew up working in his grandmother's rose and azalea garden and earned his landscape architecture degree at UGA in 1996. Today, two licensed landscape architects on our staff plan every perennial planting we install, so you can enjoy your yard year round.
What we plant
Planting services shaped by your plan
Every project starts on paper, so each plant has its place before it arrives on site.
Custom planting plans
A one-of-a-kind plan for your yard, drawn so your beds look good in every season of the year.
New home planting
Planting beds and irrigation for a newly built home. A typical new home install with irrigation takes two days.
Front yard replanting
We clear an overgrown front yard, replant it, and freshen the mulch in your flower beds so it looks brand new.
Trees in a later phase
Your plan can hold space for big trees, added in a second phase once your budget is ready for them.
Why Sugar Hill Outdoors
Licensed design behind every perennial planting

Plants from trusted nurseries
We've worked with BL Mullinax nursery for several years and source a lot of our plant material through SiteOne.

One team, plan to planting
Our general contractor's license covers design, planting, and irrigation under one contract, and you pay as each phase is finished.
From first conversation to planting day
Every planting project follows the same three steps, whatever the size of your yard.
Design consultation
A licensed landscape architect meets with you and gathers as much information as possible about your yard and how you want to use it.
Your plan in 3D
You see your initial planting plan in 3D, then we make changes together until it fits the way you picture your yard.
Layout and planting
We order your plants, lay out each one to plan, and install everything. Most projects take one day to several weeks.
Planting cost
What perennial planting costs
Your price comes from the scope of work, from a single bed to a whole property. Here's where most planting projects land.
Typical pricing
- Design fees: start at $600
- Landscape projects: start at $500, priced to your scope
- A $5,000 budget: plants a lot of plants and lays a good bit of sod
- Overgrown front yard, re-landscaped: typically under $10,000
North Georgia soil
Planting beds prepared for Piedmont clay
North Georgia's soil is dense, naturally acidic Piedmont clay, so healthy perennial beds need real soil amendment. Hardiness zones here run from about 7b to 8a, and yearly rainfall runs roughly 48 to 54 inches. Your planting plan takes the soil, zone, and rainfall into account.
