DabneyCollins delights commercial clients with timeless outdoor transformations. For over two decades, we’ve worked with property owners, stakeholders, and contractors to design, build, and install commercial landscapes from conception to completion. Our commercial hardscape design-build projects deliver luxury craftsmanship and exceptional client services. Outdoor dining, corporate courtyards and campuses, pathways, entryways and signage monuments, parking lots, retaining walls, rooftop gardens and terraces, hotel pools, fire pits and outdoor lounges, water features, pedestrian walkways, and landscape redesigns are just some of the projects we execute with precision and excellence.
With more than 25 years of residential and commercial experience, our award-winning team of designers, architects, hardscapers, and landscapers work seamlessly to build retaining walls that prevent erosion and landslides, stabilize soil, level slopes, and engineer drainage systems to manage water runoff. Transform steep, unusable land into flat and functional areas for patios, gardens, driveways, parking lots, and more. Maximize uneven terrain with multi-level outdoor spaces that add structure, depth, and visual appeal to any landscape. DabneyCollins combines faithful attention to architectural and environmental influences with the unique needs of our clients to imagine and install durable retaining walls that create usable space for exquisite hardscapes with functional longevity.

Custom outdoor kitchen design is one of the centerpieces of luxurious outdoor living in the Upstate. We begin the design phase by listening to your vision. Conversations continue onsite to discover the unique opportunities for your hardscape project. One lead designer spearheads your project, and our architect, estimator, and finishing designer stay involved throughout the design process.
Outdoor kitchen ideas are limitless, and we specialize in creativity, originality, and adaptation. Functional layout, high-quality weatherproof materials, integrated appliances, ample counter space, strategic shelter and shade, lighting, seating and dining areas, water and fire features, storage solutions, and personalization are just a handful of the essential elements for innovative outdoor kitchens in Greenville and surrounding areas. As the design goes through several revisions, our focus on value engineering and specific timelines guarantees your budget and schedule are honored.
Landscape and hardscape services are not static, and the end of installation is the beginning of our relationship with you. Our legacy care provides support for existing clients, whether troubleshooting an issue, updating a system, or developing new areas. Superior hardscape installation and legacy care are hallmarks for enduring landscape design in Greenville, and the Upstate.
Our maintenance plans protect your investment, extending the lifespan of your outdoor spaces. These plans encompass everything from timely inspections, weather damage repair, weed and moss control, water feature maintenance, comprehensive system checks, and additional recommendations and planning.
Outdoor sound systems help transform residential and commercial hardscapes into gathering centers for unforgettable moments. Subtle soundscapes invite guests to relax, connect, and enjoy the beauty of creation. By seamlessly integrating high-quality, weather-resistant outdoor audio speakers, your pathways, pool areas, patios, and fire pits are surrounded with perfect sound. Make every outdoor experience extraordinary with our robust and personalized audio systems. Fill the air with well-balanced sound for remarkable ambiance and enduring memories.
Modern luxury swimming pool design creates opportunity for simple, immediate connection. An event or gathering of friends echoing across the water, a child’s first swim without floaties, or a quiet morning breakfast by the poolside all help us stay rooted in the present moment. It is these ordinary occasions that our clients wish to create, and it is our greatest joy to dream with you, then design and install refreshing aquatic hardscapes.
Custom lighting systems complete the illumination, security, and beauty of any pool or property, providing visibility and enjoyment into the night. As graduates and members of the International Landscape Lighting Institute, our outdoor lighting designers are second-to-none and create artistic, sympathetic brilliance for your architecture and grounds. Greenville outdoor lighting highlights walkways and architectural features and brightens the night with an inviting ambiance.
Hardscape design is the planning and installation of structural landscaping like patios, walkways, retaining walls, driveways, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, landscape lighting, decks, fences, fire pits, water features, pools, and structures. Hardscape design uses man-made and synthetic materials like concrete, brick, granite, stone, asphalt, gravel, pavers, ceramic, porcelain, and composite. Successful hardscape designs complement the architecture and landscaping of a property.
Drawing on nearly 25 years of hardscape design expertise, we consistently delight our clients with custom hardscaping for residential and commercial settings, including patios, outdoor kitchens, pools, decks, pergolas, fencing, driveways, pathways, entryways, signage monuments, parking lots, outdoor fire place and lounges, retaining walls, water features, outdoor sound, and landscape lighting, to name a few.

The national average cost for hardscapes in 2024 is $9000, ranging from $5000 to $18,000. For projects that include a pool or outdoor kitchen, the national average cost is $50,000, ranging from $25,000 to $100,000+.
