From the initial stages of master planning to the flawless execution, his expertise shines through every step of the process. Their ability to turn ideas into reality while keeping even the smallest details in mind is truly remarkable. If you’re looking for someone who can seamlessly bring a vision to life while providing exceptional support and guidance along the way, I wholeheartedly recommend Kenny Collins. They are, without a doubt, the best in the business! Tom Markalunas2025-01-09 As an architect, we really appreciate good design and the creative process; traits that are a part of the projects we work on with Dabney Collins. Equally important is having the confidence that the people you work with display integrity, a passion for their trade, continually strive to improve their process, and have quality/excellence at the core of their business. Having worked with the talented team at Dabney Collins for nearly 20 years, I am truly grateful for the many projects that we have had the privilege of collaborating on. To have a team that can design a garden/landscape for a home and then execute that design with superior installation is unique. The relationship, the trust, and the expertise are hallmarks of their projects. Our homes are always better because of Dabney Collins' vision, depth, and their commitment to the craft. YTTV Foster2025-01-09 I had a great experience with Dabney Collins. They were first class and timely with every aspect of our job from design to installation. I would highly recommend them. randy presnell2025-01-09 I was fortunate to have DabneyCollins provide the infrastructure for my equine facility. They placed arena lighting water and underground electric in a very timely and professional manner and helped dramatically increase the value of the services we provide. Most certainly recommended by myself and will certainly acquire their services again when needed. Kirk Zambetti2024-10-29 We worked with Dabney Collins on our new house on Lake Keowee. We had sticker shock on the original quote. We requested modifications to the plans to reduce the price, i.e. cement vs pavers and less plantings. Since the original install, we have had them come back twice to add and revise, for much more than we originally saved. What we learned the hard way was their plan and quality was worth our trust. You get what you pay for, they do it right. Highly recommended. Angi Einstein2024-10-21 We have depended on the DabneyCollins team for years and have always been grateful for their expertise and guidance. The entire team is knowledgeable and incredibly talented. Even when we have last-minute “emergencies”, they step in with quick solutions and a smile! Randall2020-10-05 They keep their promises and complete the job very well..Quality and professional work done in a timely manner.

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.”
