Explore breathtaking design-build ideas for 2024 and start the collaborative conversation as the team listens to your dreams for the perfect landscape. DabneyCollins’ full-service landscape design firm adapts the rich heritage of hospitality and relaxed elegance of true Southern living to modern life. We design and engineer projects across the Upstate for Greenville, Seneca, Spartanburg, Lake Keowee, Lake Hartwell, Anderson, Piedmont, and Williamston, to name a few.
The DabneyCollins’ portfolio of work artfully blends clients’ specific vision with meticulous regard for architectural and environmental nuances, designing luxury gardens that exude integrity, beauty, and longevity. Classic gardens, like this one in the heart of Greenville, SC, elicit sociability, curiosity, 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 exude hospitality, entertainment, and tranquility in a structured elegance where the wilder forces of flora and fauna coexist.
Following a site inventory with our lead designer, estimator, and horticulturist, the architecture design phases begin with revisions and discussions about value engineering and timelines to secure your budget and schedule. It is our greatest joy to dream with each client and then bring that dream to life together. From entrance development and driveway layout to site circulation, hardscaping, architecture, pool design, outdoor lighting and custom water features, our team of architects and designers creates the finest luxury outdoor spaces in the Southeast. In every phase of property development, we integrate residential master planning with a landscape architect’s expertise. Our design development interweaves structural coherence, human experience, and environmental consciousness for unmatched wonder alongside structured elegance.
The swimming pool design process begins with listening. As the dream for your pool unfolds, onsite conversations help to discover the unique constraints and assets of your property. A DabneyCollins lead designer works with estimators, horticulturists, and finishing designers through several revisions to present your final design. Swimming pool design holds tremendous potential to promote human interaction and make space for meaningful experiences. In a time of technological isolation, swimming pools and spas act as an experiential anchor for family and community gatherings and a genuine invitation for lifelong memories. As the construction process ensues, a project manager communicates with you to set expectations regarding the type and timing of work based on your project schedule. Working with the highest quality materials, the most experienced craftsmen, and the best horticultural practices DabneyCollins’ designs are built with meticulous detail. Upon completion, a detail crew white-gloves the site, checking every system and removing all traces of construction activity.
Anything is possible as you explore lighting design and finishing ideas with DabneyCollins. 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. Retaining walls blend seamlessly into the landscape of botanical selections ranging from vibrant flowers and majestic trees to perennial beauty and lush shrubs, secured by meticulous curation of furniture, robust fences, and inviting patios, decks, and terraces. Enjoy serene garden features at any hour, like fountains, ponds, and cascading waterfalls, alongside aquatic havens and pools brilliantly lit. 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.
Landscape design-build is 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. From garden design and landscape architecture to pool design, lighting design, finishing, and maintenance, DabneyCollins’ design-build is a tangible anchor for reflection, connection, and peace in a time of increasing disconnection and virtual noise.
