We always strive to exceed our client's expectations, and are very thankful for the referrals and repeat business from some of Atlanta's finest clientele. Landscape design for 4 to 6 acres was a scary thought at the beginning of the project, but Chris and crew made it a very enjoyable experience. I would definitely recommend using his team.

My husband and I hired Chris Sears as a landscape architect to design a plan for our badly dated yard. Chris was professional and on time, and he developed a design that is outstanding. The plan was implemented by A&C Development, who works with Chris. We are extremely happy with the results. I recommend Chris without hesitation.

Chris has done work for us and we could not be more happy with the quality of the job. He and his team finished the work on-time and on-budget. His design and plant choice has lasted for years and that is why we are having him help us plan for more additions. Thank you Chris you are terrific and so is your team!

Chris Sears has worked on a number of projects for me ranging from a backyard renovation to a 5 year strategic plan for our local Little League campus and facilities. On every occasion, I have been delighted with the quality and speed of his work. He is also very reasonably priced. Our family recommends Chris without hesitation.

Chris has done design and installation work for me twice. The first time was after we built our house and he came up with an imaginative plan on a somewhat limited budget. The second time we used Chris to correct some drainage issues and improve hardscape areas. Both times he did a great job at a reasonable price.
