We serve clients throughout the Upstate, including Greenville, Travelers Rest, Seneca, Lake Keowee, and Anderson.
The first step in the design process is to get to know both the client and the site. Each client is different, with different needs and priorities, and each site has its own features and requirements. Design work begins with a conceptual phase and continues with design revisions, detail refinement, and materials selections. Budget and schedule are two important guiding elements throughout the design process. In every phase of property development, we integrate big-picture residential master planning with the detailed expertise of a landscape architect. Our team creates the finest luxury outdoor spaces in the Southeast. It is our greatest joy to dream with each client and then bring that dream to life together.
The DabneyCollins’ portfolio of work artfully blends clients’ specific vision with meticulous regard for architectural and environmental nuance. We design luxury gardens that combine beauty with longevity. Classic gardens, like this one in the heart of Greenville, SC, offer a place for socializing and hidden discovery. Our ideal of the “New American Garden” is not really new; it simply combines everything we hold dear. The more diverse and considered the plant palette, the more ecologically functional the system, even if that system is only the size of a backyard. Our award-winning gardens offer hospitality, entertainment, and a safe place where the wilder forces of flora and fauna coexist.
We invite our clients to explore the fine details. Our team will present lighting design and finishing ideas toward the end of the design process. The finishing touches, including furniture and integral garden accessories such as planters, lanterns, and gates, correlate to the style and architectural references of the house. Timeless furniture, an unobtrusive sound system, and elegant lighting create a feeling of welcome, extending the safety and enjoyment of your outdoor spaces beyond the daytime and into the night. Whether you are outside in the garden or inside simply looking out, subtle lighting evokes feelings of sanctuary and wonder. As graduates and members of the International Landscape Lighting Institute, our lighting team creates artistic, sympathetic illumination for your architecture and grounds.
Gardens are not static, and the end of construction is only the beginning of our relationship with you. Our legacy garden team provides support for existing clients, whether troubleshooting an issue, updating a system, or developing a new design-build area. With stewardship and proper care, every property has the potential to flourish and improve over time. Landscapes hold deep potential to enrich human life and make space for meaningful, in-person experiences. A DabneyCollins’ garden offers a tangible anchor for reflection, connection, and peace in a time of increasing disconnection and virtual noise.
