Custom Garden Design

Gardens are as unique as you are and should cater to your individual taste. There is no space too big or too small that can’t be made into an enchanting natural retreat. The key is right plant, right place. Let us re-imaging your space with unique plants, shrubs, trees and pathways that enhance the existing features of your home and provide a calming place to de-stress after a busy day.

Modern designs focus on simplicity, clean lines and greenery with only an occasional pop of color to render a minimalistic low maintenance garden that focuses predominately on hardscaping over planting. In these gardens repeating patterns, shapes or colors create a cohesive and visually restful space.

Traditional garden designs focus on symmetry, formality and geometric shapes to create a balanced, elegant and timeless aesthetic. Key features include defined lines from hedges, manicured lawns, and gravel or brick paths as well as well-defined plant borders. Pergolas, arbors, and trellises add vertical interest and a sense of grandeur whilst fountains, sculptures or specimen trees may be added to create an eye-catching focal interest. Ibis Coastal Landscapes is proud to partner with local artisans and craftsmen to create custom designed sculptures and artwork for your garden that adds that extra definition and increases the uniqueness and individuality of your garden design.

Similar to traditional, yet definingly American, Plantation-style gardens feature formal layouts with straight lines, geometric shapes and hedges to create a balanced garden often centering around a large feature such as a stone well or fountain, which in turn is surrounded by roses, hydrangeas, azaleas or camelias. Ibis works with the local live oak trees and cascading Spanish Moss by using native underplantings and deer resistant flora including palmetto palms, cast iron plants and giant leopard plants resulting in a garden flowing with effortless Southern charm.

Have you ever watched a cooking show where the chef steps out into a perfectly manicured kitchen garden, grabs whatever herb or fruit or vegetable they may need and incorporate it directly into their dish? Would you like to come home and make fresh homemade tomato sauce with your own garden basil or roast a chicken with rosemary and lemons grown from your own backyard? We source premium, organic herbs – such as rosemary, thyme, basil, tarragon, sage and mint – chosen to thrive in your microclimate and suit your lifestyle. We then design raised beds or elegant planters to reflect your unique aesthetic preferences and culinary and site conditions. Want to keep chickens on your property? Let us design a custom coop for your family that is reflective of the luxury and elegance the rest of your garden exudes.

Available for both commercial and residential spaces, we are a custom garden designer that works with local Georgia seed and plant growers to create wildflower meadows and romantic overflowing informal gardens that attract native species to your garden. Not only is this vital to preserving our natural environment but it creates a wonderful outdoor learning lab for your little ones as butterflies, bees and hummingbirds flock to your property.
