Designing with nature in mind.
The new space for nature is increasingly becoming the Homo sapiens’ back yard, so for us, creating biodiversity is the top garden-priority.
We offer basic gardening services like regular monthly or bi-weekly maintenance. We also offer garden coaching, consulting, and advice for our more hands-on clients. Specializing in cottage-style native plantings, we aim to blend the classic garden with the contemporary. Our team manages the weeding, natural fertilizing, pruning, and composting that transforms a plot of land into belonging. We take our client relations deeply – as any business ought – as we strive to develop a self-sustaining garden that needs less outside help over time.
While not all garden styles will suit this approach, we stress that easy upkeep comes from understanding your garden well. By carefully adding native plants and common favorites, we will gradually shape the “all-American” landscape into what you actually long for: nature’s best right outside your door.
I’m Clark Williams, Certified South Carolina Landscape Professional, and the owner of Gardenscapes Greenville. I began gardening at the age of seven when my family moved from a lovely wooded home to a sad, empty suburban shell. I missed the forest and wanted to bring a bit of the nature I loved to our backyard. When a neighbor shared my first iris rhizome, I began to learn what cultivating a home could really mean.
I’ve been professional landscaper since 2015, and designing gardens since 2018. I’ve been trained extensively through the Clemson Extension Horticulture Program and am currently enrolled in the Master’s of Landscape Architecture program at Clemson. When I plan a garden, I prioritize long-term sustainability while drawing on basic principles of Naturalistic design. My own aesthetic flair emphasizes the relation I form with each, unique client.
Our Philosophy
We care for our environment and your space by:
Utilizing a diverse placement of native plants to contribute to our genuine needs for beauty, access to nature, and wildlife.
Employing integrative pest management, striking a balance between cultural control methods and “pest” appreciation/integration with the whole of the garden’s ecological function.
Co-facilitating a nutrient/fertilizer cycle through soil testing, and choosing the best matched compost management system for your needs, be it organic fertilizers or leaf mould.
Incorporating plans for lawn alternatives that can be implemented in affordable segments, utilizing grass alternatives such as moss lawns, no mow native grasses, or “micro-prairies”.
