Executive Green helps homeowners in Watkinsville, Athens and Oconee County plan and install retaining walls, patios, drainage improvements, sod, artificial turf and landscape lighting. Start with the problem you want to solve and how you want to use the space. An on-site visit helps connect those goals with your yard’s slope, access and existing landscape.

What landscaping services are available in Watkinsville and Athens?
Projects can combine several services rather than treating each part of the yard separately. Executive Green’s residential landscaping services include hardscapes and outdoor living, grading and drainage, sod and turf, irrigation, lighting and landscape maintenance. Tell us whether your priority is a more usable backyard, an updated entrance, standing water or ongoing care so the proposal can focus on your needs.
Should I address drainage before adding a patio or sod?
Discuss existing water problems during the first visit. Point out where water collects, where runoff travels and whether the problem happens after particular storms. Drainage and grading may affect the layout of a patio, the planting area and the preparation needed for a new lawn. Planning them together helps identify the work needed before finished surfaces are installed.
When is a retaining wall worth considering?
A retaining wall may be part of a project to manage an elevation change or create more usable outdoor space. Wall material, site access, drainage and the intended use of the area all affect the plan. Review our retaining-wall installation services for stone, boulder and block options. Any required permits or engineering should be checked for the actual site and design.
Can I combine a patio, fire pit and landscape lighting?
Yes. A complete outdoor-living plan can account for seating, paths, lighting, planting and access from the house. Start with how you expect to use the space: family dinners, entertaining, a quiet sitting area or a connection to an existing backyard feature. Discuss irrigation and electrical requirements before selecting the finished layout.
Are there examples of Executive Green’s work in Watkinsville?
The Pappas project in Watkinsville included tree removal and a retaining wall that extended the backyard. The Treiber project in Watkinsville included a boulder fire pit. These examples show different ways to improve outdoor space; your property needs its own assessment. See more project photos and our Watkinsville and Athens service information.
What affects the cost of a landscaping project?
Scope, materials, site preparation, drainage, access and the size of the area affect the quote. A wall and grading project has different requirements from lawn replacement or a lighting installation. Share your priorities and budget during the visit, and ask which parts of the proposal are included. An on-site quote is more useful than a generic price that ignores the property.
What should I include when requesting a quote?
- Your name, contact details and project city.
- The work you want done and the main problem to solve.
- Photos of the area and any existing water or slope issues.
- Your preferred timing, budget and any access restrictions.
