Enjoy the benefits of reduced water bills, no pesticides, and a perfect green space for entertaining, playing bocce or golf, and making lasting memories without the weekend yard work.

Whether you need a fence for privacy, safety for children and pets, or a retaining wall to manage a sloped yard and create usable flat space, our process is thorough and client-focused. We start by understanding your needs, then provide design options that balance aesthetics, materials (like wood, vinyl, or composite for fences; stone or block for walls), and budget. Our lead foreman is renowned for his custom builds, crafting everything from gates to outdoor grilling tables with precision.

Our commitment to doing it "the right way" sets us apart. We ensure proper post-setting, structural integrity, and expert craftsmanship so you have zero concerns about your investment holding up.

Protect your property and enhance its beauty with effective landscape drainage solutions from Howkins Landscape and Design. Water management is a critical concern for many homes in Atlanta, where improper drainage can lead to foundation issues, soil erosion, and soggy, unusable yards. We specialize in designing and installing dry creek beds, French drains, and other systems that channel water away from your home while adding natural, attractive elements to your landscape.

This service is essential for homeowners noticing standing water, basement moisture, or washouts in their yard after rain. Our process begins with a detailed assessment of your property's grading and water flow. We then design a tailored solution that addresses the problem at its source, using techniques that blend seamlessly with your existing or planned landscaping. A well-executed dry creek bed, for example, not only solves drainage issues but also becomes a striking garden feature.

Trust our experienced team to implement lasting solutions. We use quality materials and proven methods to ensure your drainage system performs reliably for years, protecting your home's foundation and preserving the integrity of your outdoor living spaces. Investing in proper drainage with Howkins Landscape is an investment in your property's long-term health and value.
