Landscape Design & Installation in Cumming, GA

Horticultural Gardens creates attractive, functional landscapes for residential and commercial properties in Cumming, Forsyth County, and surrounding North Georgia communities. Since 2003, our team has combined thoughtful landscape design, careful site planning, and professional installation to create outdoor spaces suited to each property and the people who use it.

Custom Landscape Design Built Around Your Property

A successful landscape begins with more than choosing attractive plants. The design must account for your property’s terrain, soil, drainage, sunlight, architecture, existing features, maintenance requirements, and how our client wants to use the finished space.


Horticultural Gardens takes the time to understand your goals and evaluate the conditions of your property before developing a landscape plan. Whether you want to improve your home’s curb appeal, renovate an aging landscape, install a new lawn, or completely redesign your backyard, we create a cohesive plan that balances appearance, function, and long-term performance.

Landscapes Designed for North Georgia Conditions

Properties in Cumming and Forsyth County often present challenges such as compacted clay soil, sloped terrain, heavy rainfall, erosion, poor drainage, and areas with dramatically different levels of sunlight. These conditions can affect plant health, water flow, lawn establishment, and the long-term stability of landscape features.  Our team considers these local conditions during both design and installation. We evaluate how water moves across the yard, where plants are most likely to thrive, whether grading or drainage improvements are necessary, and how new landscaping will interact with the home and existing outdoor features. This local knowledge helps us create landscapes that are not only beautiful when installation is complete but also better prepared to grow and function in North Georgia’s environment.
