New Construction Installs
New construction landscaping in Charleston, SC starts the moment the builder clears the last piece of equipment off the lot. What’s left behind, bare dirt, compacted subsoil, and construction debris mixed into the grade, needs professional attention before any grass, plants, or hardscape can go in. T&T Lawn and Landscape works with homeowners, builders, and developers across the Charleston area to turn raw construction sites into finished, functional landscapes built for the Lowcountry climate.
Founded and operated by Timothy Fowler, T&T is based at 2124 Parsons Corner in Charleston and provides full-service new construction landscaping from initial site grading through final planting and irrigation. Our crews know the sandy soil, high water tables, and salt exposure that define landscaping here, and we build every project around those realities.
New Construction Landscaping Services We Offer in Charleston, SC
T&T Lawn and Landscape provides a complete range of new construction landscaping services. Each service below can be performed individually or as part of a full-site landscape package.
New Home Landscaping Design and Installation
A new home without landscaping is an unfinished product. T&T creates landscape designs based on the specific lot, accounting for sun exposure, drainage flow, soil composition, and the architectural style of the home. We select plant material proven to perform in the Lowcountry’s subtropical climate, including native grasses, salt-tolerant shrubs, and seasonal color beds.
Installation covers everything from foundation plantings and shade trees to mulch beds, landscape lighting, and decorative features. We coordinate directly with homeowners or builders to align landscape work with closing schedules and move-in dates.

Builder Landscape Services for Residential Developments
Builders need a landscaping partner who can meet deadlines across multiple lots without sacrificing quality. T&T provides builder landscape packages for residential developments throughout the Charleston area. We handle lot-by-lot scheduling, maintain consistent material quality, and keep work moving on pace with construction timelines.
Our team has worked on subdivisions from West Ashley to Mount Pleasant and understands the HOA requirements and covenant standards that often govern new development landscaping.
New Construction Lawn and Sod Installation
Sod installation on a new construction site isn’t as simple as rolling out turf. The subsoil left after construction is typically compacted, nutrient-poor, and mixed with debris. T&T prepares the soil bed properly, removing rocks and debris, aerating compacted ground, and amending with topsoil before laying sod.
We install warm-season turf varieties suited to the Charleston climate, including St. Augustine, Bermuda, and Zoysia. Each lawn gets starter fertilizer and a watering schedule to help establish strong root systems during the critical first 30 days.
Developer Landscaping and Site Grading
Proper grading is the foundation of every successful landscape. On new construction sites, poor drainage leads to standing water, erosion, and long-term damage to lawns and plantings. T&T provides site grading services that direct water away from structures and toward proper drainage outlets.
For developers working on multi-lot projects, we handle common area landscaping, entrance features, and retention pond edges plus to individual lot work. Our crew coordinates grading and landscape installation to avoid rework and keep projects on budget.
Irrigation System Installation for New Builds
A new landscape without irrigation is at risk from day one, especially during Charleston’s hot, dry stretches in late summer. T&T installs complete irrigation systems for new construction properties, including rotor and spray zones, drip irrigation for beds, and smart controllers that adjust watering based on weather conditions.
We design each system around the specific layout of the property, accounting for turf zones, planting beds, and hardscape areas. Every installation includes a full system walkthrough so you understand your zones, run times, and seasonal adjustments.
Hardscape and Walkway Installation for New Homes
Hardscaping adds structure and function to a new landscape. T&T installs patios, walkways, retaining walls, fire pits, and outdoor seating areas using pavers, natural stone, and concrete materials selected for the Lowcountry environment.
For new homes, we often install front walkways, driveway borders, and rear patio spaces as part of the overall landscape package. Coordinating hardscape and softscape work under one company eliminates scheduling conflicts and ensures the finished product looks cohesive from the street to the backyard.
