How we work

Each project starts with the property itself. We look at how the space functions, what needs to change and how each part of the landscape should connect before construction begins.

01 / Understand

Start with the property

We begin with your goals, the existing site and the practical conditions that will shape the project.

Property review Project priorities Site conditions
02 / Plan

Build the plan

Layout, grade, drainage, circulation and the relationship between major outdoor elements are worked out before materials are finalized.

03 / Build

Bring it to life

Our team coordinates site preparation, hardscape, pools, structures and other major construction elements around the approved plan.

Services / Common Questions

FAQs

Answers about landscape design, pools, hardscaping, outdoor living, planting and site work for residential projects across Greater Atlanta and Southwest Florida.

Ambrose Outdoors / Design + Build

One property. Multiple systems.

Landscape, pools, patios, planting, drainage and outdoor living work best when they are planned as parts of the same property rather than isolated projects.

01 What landscape design and outdoor living services does Ambrose Outdoors offer?

Ambrose Outdoors provides residential landscape design, custom pools and water features, hardscaping, outdoor living and outdoor kitchens, planting and landscape installation, and fire features and landscape lighting. Projects can focus on one part of the property or combine several services into one coordinated design-build plan.

02 Can a pool, patio, landscape and outdoor kitchen be designed as one project?

Yes. Larger backyard projects often combine pool design, patios and hardscaping, planting, drainage, lighting and outdoor living spaces. Planning these elements together helps coordinate elevations, circulation, materials, utilities, privacy and the relationship between the house and the yard.

For projects involving several major features, start with the landscape design process so the entire property can be considered before individual elements are built.

03 How much does a landscape, pool or backyard renovation cost in Atlanta?

Outdoor project costs vary based on property conditions, access, grading, drainage, materials and the number of features being built. A focused hardscape project has a very different scope from a complete backyard renovation involving a pool, outdoor kitchen, retaining walls, planting and lighting.

Use the Ambrose project cost estimator for a preliminary planning range, or browse the resource library for Atlanta landscape design, hardscaping, pool and outdoor living cost guides.

04 Does Ambrose design custom pools as part of the surrounding landscape?

Yes. A custom pool should be planned around more than the water itself. Ambrose considers pool placement, grade, drainage, decking, patios, privacy planting, circulation, lighting and how the pool connects with the rest of the backyard.

Explore pool and water feature design or read the Atlanta pool and landscape project cost guide when planning a larger pool environment.

05 Can you handle grading, drainage, slopes and retaining walls?

Site conditions are an important part of residential landscape design, especially on Atlanta properties with changing elevations, runoff or difficult slopes. Grading, drainage, retaining systems, steps and hardscape elevations may need to be resolved before planting or outdoor living features are installed.

See our custom hardscaping services and read the backyard drainage guide for Atlanta or sloped backyard landscaping guide.

06 What can be included in a custom outdoor living project?

A custom outdoor living project may include patios, covered spaces, outdoor kitchens, dining areas, fireplaces, fire pits, pool connections, privacy landscaping and lighting. The goal is to make the outdoor space function as an extension of the home rather than a collection of disconnected features.

07 Where does Ambrose Outdoors provide landscape design and construction services?

Ambrose Outdoors works on residential landscape and outdoor living projects throughout Greater Atlanta and Naples and Southwest Florida. Atlanta-area service pages include communities such as Alpharetta, Milton, Roswell, Johns Creek, Sandy Springs and Dunwoody.

Browse the complete Ambrose Outdoors service area directory for current location information.

08 What should I do first if I am planning a major outdoor project?

Start by identifying what needs to change, how you want to use the property and which features matter most. You do not need to determine every construction detail before contacting Ambrose. The planning process can establish how landscape design, pools, hardscaping, planting, outdoor living, lighting and site work should fit together.

You can also browse the Ambrose resource center, review the full project FAQ, or start a project inquiry.
