Athens Landscape Design by Chico Landscaping
At Chico Landscaping Athens, landscape design is more than making a yard look pretty. It is a practical plan that fits the way you live in Athens, Georgia, and the way our seasons swing here.
About landscape design
From initial site assessment to a finished plant palette, our landscape design covers every detail. We map plant zones for sun and shade, propose hardscape foundations like walkways and seating nooks, and outline irrigation considerations to support your choices. Our lawn care specialist collaborates with you to select a cohesive palette that thrives in Athens heat and occasional drought, prioritizes low maintenance, and stays within budget. We provide schematic plans, scale drawings, plant lists, and installation guidance so you can implement in stages or all at once. This service is ideal for busy homeowners, new lawns, or owners who want to refresh an underperforming yard without surprises.
