Landscape Design

Landscape design is about creating harmony between natural elements and architectural structures. In Smyrna, we often work with properties that highlight the area’s scenic vistas, incorporating native plants and materials that thrive in Tennessee’s climate. Our design process begins with an on-site consultation, during which we learn about your personal style, desired features, and any functional needs like seating areas or play spaces for children.

We take every detail into account, from soil conditions and sun exposure to your long-term maintenance preferences. If you’re keen on eco-friendly practices, we can incorporate permeable surfaces, drought-tolerant plants, or rain gardens to reduce water consumption and runoff. We also consider seasonal interest, planning for plant varieties that offer color and texture all year, so your Smyrna home remains visually appealing in every season.

By combining our horticultural knowledge with your design goals, we create a tailored plan that shows exactly how each element—like flower beds, shrubs, walkways, and lighting—fits together. After finalizing the design, we’ll move into the installation phase with precision, ensuring every detail aligns with your expectations. In the end, you’ll have a landscape that feels like a natural extension of your home or business, seamlessly blending beauty and function.

Lawn Installation

Nothing sets the stage for a welcoming outdoor space quite like a vibrant, meticulously maintained lawn. In Smyrna’s mix of residential neighborhoods and commercial areas, a healthy lawn can enhance both your property’s aesthetic and its market value. We specialize in lawn installation methods that suit Smyrna’s soil types and climate conditions, helping you select the right grass variety for your specific needs.
We begin by testing the soil to gauge pH and nutrient levels, adjusting them as needed to promote strong root growth. For lawns that get a lot of sun and foot traffic, we might recommend hearty Bermuda or Zoysia grass. If your yard is partially shaded, a fescue blend could be the perfect solution. We’ll discuss the pros and cons of sod versus seeding, including cost, appearance, and initial maintenance requirements, so you can make an informed decision.

Proper site preparation is key. We’ll clear debris, level uneven areas, and ensure the soil is loose and well-draining. After installation, we’ll walk you through the essential steps of watering and fertilizing to give your new turf the best possible start. We can also provide ongoing lawn care services—like aeration, overseeding, and weed control—so you never have to worry about maintaining that lush green look.

Hardscaping

Hardscaping features go beyond patios and walkways, encompassing everything from decorative stone walls and pathways to outdoor kitchens and water features. At Bi-County Landscaping, LLC, we see hardscaping as a way to add both visual interest and practical functionality to your outdoor space. These elements often serve as the framework of your landscape, providing structure and defining different areas of use.

In Smyrna, a popular hardscaping request is creating visually appealing transitions between different levels of a property. For example, if your yard has a slight slope, we might suggest stone steps or a terraced seating area to maximize usable space. We also specialize in driveways that can endure day-to-day wear while enhancing your home’s curb appeal.

During the design process, we balance aesthetics with practicality. We’ll help you choose materials that blend with your home’s exterior and stand up to Smyrna’s seasonal weather changes. Whether it’s a custom-built pergola for shade, a retaining wall that doubles as extra seating, or a stone pathway leading to your backyard retreat, our skilled team ensures each piece of hardscaping is installed with meticulous attention to detail.

Pavers & Patios

Pavers and patios let you enjoy Smyrna’s pleasant climate and scenic surroundings. Whether you envision a small, private patio for family dinners or a more extensive design that includes an outdoor kitchen or fire pit, our team can bring your ideas to life. We typically begin with a discussion about your lifestyle and how you plan to use the space. Do you love hosting large gatherings, or do you prefer quieter moments by the fire? The answers help us determine the size, layout, and features of your new patio.

Material selection is another area where our expertise shines. From rustic natural stone that complements Smyrna’s rural charm to sleek concrete pavers suitable for modern homes, we’ll guide you toward a product that fits both your aesthetic and your budget. Correctly installed pavers not only offer lasting durability but also add value to your property. We focus on excavating and preparing a stable base, ensuring that your patio remains even, drains correctly, and resists cracking.

For added flair, we can incorporate design elements like decorative borders, built-in seating, or even a pergola overhead. We’ll also consider how lighting, landscaping, and outdoor furniture will fit into the final design. The result is an outdoor living space that serves as a natural extension of your home and invites you to savor Smyrna’s beautiful outdoors.

Retaining Walls

Smyrna’s rolling terrain can create challenges for homeowners and businesses alike, especially when it comes to preventing soil erosion and making the most of uneven land. Retaining walls are often the answer, and at Bi-County Landscaping, LLC, we approach these projects with a keen eye for structural integrity and design appeal.

Before we break ground, we perform a comprehensive site assessment, looking at factors like slope, soil type, and drainage patterns. This information allows us to engineer a retaining wall that can manage water flow and handle the weight of the soil behind it. We use materials like concrete blocks, stone, or brick, based on your budget, style preferences, and the wall’s functional requirements.

We also focus on blending the retaining wall with the rest of your landscape. We might integrate plant beds at different levels, use decorative stone finishes, or add built-in steps for convenient access. Proper drainage is crucial; we incorporate techniques like gravel backfill or perforated drain pipes to prevent hydrostatic pressure from building up. The result is a retaining wall that not only secures your property but also enhances its visual appeal.
