They are the best Greenville and the surrounding area has to offer. They understand the clients vision and offer their vision for your property. The two blend beautifully together! They take pride in their work and deliver above and beyond what they promise. It's also a bonus they have two of the best landscape architects in the business, Nathan Schaupp and Dabney Collins.Posted on Google The Potter's PlaceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dabney Collins has done a variety of projects out here at The Potter‘s Place. Everything they do is with incredible creativity and excellence.

We can’t imagine using anybody else.Posted on Google Paula McCallumTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dabney Collins is a premier landscape design firm with a staff and crew of top notch experts in plant material, lighting, design, hardscape and more. They function with great imagination, integrity, & the desire to please, and are worth every penny. We are absolutely thrilled beyond our imagination at our gorgeous landscape. Nathan & Kenny listened to our description of our goals for the property and then Nathan, Sean, Brian, Jimmy, Angelo, and crew delivered a stunning project! Delivery people even stop to photograph the spectacular water feature, which looks as though it had been here forever, & that the house was built around it.Posted on Google Kristin YoderTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. DabneyCollins has been an absolute game-changer for our renovation, and Nathan Schaupp has gone above and beyond at every step. They joined our project about eight months into our search for a retaining wall solution and were able to provide clear, thoughtful answers within hours—something that immediately set them apart. Their communication has been exceptional, and their design process has been both collaborative and inspiring. From landscape design and driveway concepts to site plans, retaining wall engineering, and reimagining the front elevation of our home, their vision brought clarity and excitement to what can be an overwhelming process. We are deeply grateful for their expertise and cannot recommend them highly enough. DabneyCollins helped us see the full potential of our renovation, and we’re truly excited for what’s ahead.Posted on Google Phillip SaccognaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Dabney Collins and their landscape design and construction team have consistently impressed me with their expertise and vision. Their work on our current commercial project, particularly the master courtyard design, has been exceptional. They are knowledgeable, trustworthy, and truly know how to bring a project to life. I highly recommend Dabney Collins for any landscaping needs.Posted on Google Carla WalpoleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It’s one thing to love your home but it is more than valuable to love what your landscaping, outdoor spaces, and exterior atmosphere can hold. DabneyCollins exceeded expectations and yet brought our dreams to life! As a family, we thrive most enjoying time together and with friends. We love being outside in general, having loved traveling to see resorts that do an incredible job incorporating their setup with nature, which made investing in quality design highly important. From the brainstorming and designing, to the implementation, building, and now enjoying, we will forever be grateful for the work completed to make our full property our home vs. just the house itself. The team did incredible work with a welcoming and functional driveway path, proper privacy planting, and then perfectly encapsulated a backyard retreat mimicking a small resort including a smaller family pool, hot tub with easy entrance from our master bedroom, a cozy fire pit, a pleasant pool house entertaining space, outdoor shower, a perfect staircase to our garden, and when the sun sets we have enchanting, yet expertly planned, lighting around the entire space. We are thankful that we worked our budget to accommodate what we now have - we will never regret the investment we have made into our land. We had such a wonderful experience that we are utilizing their talents and strengths to rework how our front landscaping can welcome guests all the way from the gated entrance to our front porch.Posted on Google Grace BoernerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Dabney Peeples’ gardens range from highly traditional to playful and contemporary. The three driving forces of his work are the requirements of the architecture, cues from the land, and the unique personalities of every client. These tenets have influenced hundreds of gardens over the past four decades, each one as unique as the place and people who inspired it. He firmly believes that to successfully practice design over time, one must “never quit learning, always stay completely aware of your surroundings and listen, listen, listen.” Dabney eschews trends in the garden, opting instead for timeless solutions guided by the principles of design, proposing that “if a design is good now, it will be good forever.” He finds inspiration both in classical architecture and contemporary masters, because a garden should reference the past while looking to the future.
Dabney has built his practice on the belief that gardens are first and foremost personal. Relationships are essential to the successful creation of every garden. He extolls the importance of a strong partnership, saying, “No matter how extensive or how detailed a set of drawings are, there is absolutely no substitute for trust between client, designer, and contractor.”
Over the course of 20 years, Kenny Collins has built a company from two men with a truck and a couple of shovels into a thriving group of multiple installation crews with specialist craftsmen. His philosophy has always been to put people first, both internally and in client relationships. Kenny also places great emphasis on structural and horticultural integrity, encouraging continuing education, experimentation, and research to augment the collective team experience. “We are continuously improving how we do things, and we never sacrifice our own integrity by taking a shortcut.” He believes that every element contributes to the value of the garden, from the effectiveness of the drainage and water management, to concert-quality outdoor sound and thoughtful landscape lighting. “Community in life is paramount and the gardens that we create cultivate this on another level. They have the ability to promote community in a unique way.” The work at DabneyCollins is ultimately all about people and valuing relationships; when the relationships are solid, everything else will follow. “It does take a team and I love ours. So much more is possible when we work together.”
