Complete Landscape Installation for New and Existing Properties

T&T provides landscape installation for properties at every stage, brand-new construction lots that need a full build-out, established homes due for a renovation, and commercial sites that require professional grounds from day one.

For new construction, we start with grading and soil preparation. Charleston’s sandy, low-lying terrain demands proper drainage planning before a single plant goes in the ground. We handle the full sequence: grading, irrigation layout, hardscape construction, planting, sod, and mulching. For existing properties, we assess what’s working, remove what isn’t, and install a landscape that fits the site conditions and the owner’s vision.

New Landscape Design and Install in Charleston, SC

Every landscape installation project at T&T begins with a property walk. Timothy Fowler or a senior team member meets you on-site to evaluate soil composition, drainage flow, sun and shade patterns, and any structural considerations like retaining walls or grade changes.

From that assessment, we develop a design and a written scope of work. You receive an itemized proposal, materials, labor, timeline. No vague estimates. Larger projects include a full design package with plant selections chosen for Lowcountry conditions: heat tolerance, salt resistance, and low water demand. Common selections include muhly grass, palmetto palms, loropetalum, and native azaleas that thrive in Charleston’s Zone 9a climate.

Full-Service Landscaping Installation in Mount Pleasant

Mount Pleasant is one of the fastest-growing areas in the Charleston metro. New subdivisions in Park West, Carolina Park, and the I-526 corridor need landscape installation that meets HOA standards and holds up in the East Cooper climate. T&T installs complete residential landscapes in Mount Pleasant, from front yard curb appeal packages to full backyard outdoor living spaces.

We also serve commercial properties along Highway 17 and Coleman Boulevard, including retail centers, medical offices, and multi-family developments that need professional, low-maintenance landscapes installed on a schedule.

Hardscape and Softscape Installation

A finished landscape combines hardscape and softscape elements. Hardscape includes patios, walkways, retaining walls, fire pits, outdoor kitchens, and pergolas. Softscape covers plants, trees, shrubs, groundcover, and turf.

T&T installs both under one crew. We build paver patios and natural stone walkways, construct seating walls and fire pit areas, and install pergolas and small outdoor structures. On the softscape side, we handle tree and shrub installation, ornamental bed planting, groundcover, and seasonal color rotations. Having one company manage both hardscape and softscape means your installation is coordinated, no scheduling conflicts between separate contractors.

Sod Installation and Grading

Sod installation is one of the most common landscape services we perform in Charleston. The Lowcountry’s warm season supports centipede, Bermuda, St. Augustine, and zoysia varieties. We help property owners choose the right turf type based on sun exposure, foot traffic, and maintenance preferences.

Before sod goes down, the ground needs to be properly graded. Poor grading leads to standing water, root rot, and drainage problems, all common issues in Charleston’s flat, low-elevation terrain. T&T grades every sod installation site to direct water away from structures and prevent pooling.

Garden Bed Design and Planting

Garden beds anchor a landscape’s visual appeal. T&T designs and installs flower beds, ornamental borders, and foundation plantings using species suited to the Lowcountry’s heat, humidity, and sandy soil.

We build beds with proper edging, amended soil, and appropriate mulch depth. Plant selections are based on the site’s light conditions and the owner’s maintenance preferences, from low-care native shrubs to seasonal annuals that rotate with the calendar. We also offer recurring bed maintenance to keep plantings healthy and beds clean throughout the year.

Why Choose T&T Lawn and Landscape for Your Charleston Landscape Installation

You won’t be passed between a salesperson and a project manager who’s never seen your yard. The person who writes your proposal is the same person overseeing the install.

Built for Lowcountry conditions. Charleston landscapes deal with sandy soil, a high water table, salt air, tropical storms, and intense summer heat.

“This is my home too. When we work on your property, we treat it the way I would want someone to treat mine.”, Timothy Fowler, Founder
