Landscaping in Calhoun, GA

The ground in Calhoun

Oothkalooga Creek valley: broad, comparatively level, with workable soil over the usual red clay. Some of the most forgiving ground to build on anywhere in the service area, which is a real advantage when a project needs machines moved around a finished house.

What that means for the build

Easy ground moves the difficulty into design. With no slope forcing the decision, a terrace can sit anywhere, which means where it sits should be decided by sun, sight lines and how the house is actually used, not by where the dirt allowed it.

The properties

Established in-town neighborhoods, newer subdivisions, and acreage toward Sugar Valley and Fairmount.

What usually leads in Calhoun

Every trade is available across the whole service area. These are the ones that tend to carry a Calhoun project:

• Hardscape & Paver TerracesPool decks, terraces, walkways and stepping-stone paths. Compacted base, screeded bedding, cut edges and a locked perimeter. The part nobody sees is the part that decides whether it is still flat in ten years.
• Outdoor Living & Fire FeaturesStone fire features, fireplaces, water features and pergolas: the reason the family actually goes out there instead of looking at it through the window.
• Lighting & IrrigationLow-voltage lighting laid out for the walk up to the door and the view back at the house, plus zoned irrigation that keeps new sod and new plant material alive through a Georgia August.

All ten trades run in-house, so one crew and one schedule covers the whole job.
