Landscaping in Silver Creek, GA

The ground in Silver Creek

Creek-bottom and low-ridge ground south of Rome. The flats hold water longer than the map suggests, and the transition from bottom to slope often happens inside a single back yard.

What that means for the build

That transition is the whole job. A terrace set at the wrong elevation puts the low end in standing water twice a year. Getting the grade and the outfall right first is what makes the hardscape on top of it last.

The properties

Larger parcels and small acreage, where there is room to build outward rather than terrace upward.

What usually leads in Silver Creek

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

• Retaining Walls & GradingSegmental block walls, cut-and-fill grading and the drainage behind both. Georgia clay holds water and moves; a wall that was not drained is a wall that leans.
• DrainageFrench drains, catch basins, downspout tie-ins and swales. Georgia clay does not drink water. It holds it, and every terrace, wall and lawn on this list lasts exactly as long as the water under it is managed.
• 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.

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