A stone path winding through deep planting

They found a drainage problem two other firms had quoted straight over. The patio went in a fortnight later than planned and I am glad it did.

The plan had every plant on it with a price. I priced it against two other quotes properly for the first time instead of guessing.

Second spring now. They came back twice without an invoice to replace three shrubs that did not take. That is the whole review really.

Same four faces every day for three weeks. Nobody handed our garden to a company we had never heard of halfway through.

Why choose Brantley

More Than Landscaping.
A Yard That Works.

  • Every plant named on the planNot "assorted shrubs". Species, sizes and quantities, priced line by line.
  • Drainage before decorationMiddle Tennessee clay moves water sideways. We solve that first or the patio fails.
  • One crew, no subcontractorsThe people who draw it are the people who build it and the people who come back.
  • Two seasons of establishment careIncluded, in the contract. Anything that does not take, we replace.

Our process

How a Garden
Actually Gets Built.

Six stages, in the order they happen. No icons, no arrows, and nothing left out to make it look simpler than it is.

We walk the whole property

Not just the bit you called about. We read the levels, the soil and where the water already goes, then tell you what is worth doing and what is not.

About an hour, free

You see the plan before we dig

A drawing with every plant and material named and a price against each line. Change it as often as you like — it costs nothing until it is built.

Two to three weeks

Ground and drainage first

Middle Tennessee clay sheds water sideways. Levels, sub-base and pipe go in before anything decorative, because this is the half that decides whether the rest lasts.

Week one on site

Hard materials, by our own crew

Paving, walls and steps set by the same people who dug it. Nobody hands your garden to a company you have never met halfway through.

Weeks two to three

Planting goes in last

Always last, and always into soil we have already rebuilt. Plants put in before the heavy work is finished get walked on, compacted, and blamed on the nursery.

Final week

We come back for two seasons

Establishment care is in the contract, not the sales conversation. Anything that does not take, we replace — and the second visit tells us whether we got the soil right.

Two full seasons

Stages three and four overlap on purpose — the base for the paving goes in while the drainage trench is still open. It takes about a week off the programme and means the garden is only dug up once.

Where we work

Franklin and Williamson County.

One crew, one county. We keep the work inside a radius we can reach before seven, because coming back for two seasons of care only works if you are close.

Before you call

Six Honest Answers.

A front garden redesign in Williamson County typically runs $14,000 to $38,000 depending on how much hard material is in it. Patios and outdoor kitchens go further. You get a per-line price on the plan before anything is committed.

The consultation is. The drawn plan is chargeable and credited in full against the build if you go ahead with us. We do it that way because a free plan is a sales document, and you should be able to take ours to another contractor.

Two to four weeks on site for most gardens, plus two to three weeks of design ahead of that. Anything involving significant drainage or grading adds a week. We give you the dates in writing and tell you early if they move.

Middle Tennessee clay sheds water sideways instead of down, which is why so many patios here heave and so many beds drown. We test it, and where it matters we rebuild the soil profile or pipe the water somewhere useful before anything decorative goes in.

Two seasons of establishment care are included with every build. After that we take on a limited number of maintenance schedules for gardens we built ourselves. We do not take on mowing rounds.

We replace them for two full seasons, which covers the period when losses actually happen. It is in the contract rather than in a sales conversation.
