Gardens shaped
with a quiet
kind of care.
Sowriver designs, plants, and tends residential gardens across Atlanta — considered work, done at the pace a living thing deserves.
What we tend to
Each project starts from the soil up — read as much or as little into that as you like.
Garden Design
Layout, planting palette, and materials planned around how you actually use the space — drawn up before a single spade goes in.
Planting & Installation
Trees, shrubs, and perennial beds installed by hand, matched to Atlanta's soil and seasonal light.
Seasonal Maintenance
Pruning, weeding, feeding, and bed edits on a recurring visit schedule, tuned to what's actually growing.
Irrigation & Watering
Drip lines and simple watering systems set up so nothing depends on you remembering.
Soil & Bed Renewal
Testing, amending, and rebuilding tired beds so what you plant next actually has a chance.
Seasonal Cleanup
End-of-season cutback and spring wake-up visits that reset the garden for what's next.
From first visit to first bloom
Four stages, each one feeding the next — the same way a garden actually grows.
Consultation & site read
We walk the property, note light, drainage, and what's already growing, and talk through what you want the space to do.
Design & planning
A planting plan and quote you can actually read, with a realistic timeline and material list.
Installation
Beds, plantings, and hardscape work carried out on-site, with the space left clean each day.
Ongoing care
Scheduled visits to keep the garden on track through every season, not just the first one.
