Southern Landscape Atlanta

Southern Landscape Atlanta has served the Atlanta area since 1993, offering landscape design, installation, lawn maintenance, and irrigation services to residential clients.

The company specializes in landscape design that blends natural beauty with architectural elements to enhance outdoor spaces. Installation work begins with quality soil preparation to support plant health. Lawn maintenance includes year-round weekly service to keep properties looking their. Irrigation and sprinkler systems round out the offerings.

Landscaping work that involves hardscaping, irrigation, or structural elements may require a building permit from the City of Atlanta Office of Buildings. The city uses the 2024 International Building Code and related standards (effective for all new permit applications from February 1, 2026). Contact the Office of Buildings at (404) 330-6150 with questions about whether your project needs a permit.

If your landscaper is also a licensed contractor performing work that triggers permit requirements, verify their license through the Georgia Secretary of State's online system (GOALS). General Contractors and Residential Contractors must maintain active licenses issued by the State Licensing Board for Residential and Commercial General Contractors. Always ask for a license number and confirm it before hiring.

Request a clear estimate that covers materials and labor. Ask your landscaper whether they will handle all permitting and code compliance, or if that is your responsibility. Clarify the scope—whether the work is a one-time installation or includes ongoing maintenance—and get a timeline in writing.
