potted plants. What I am looking for is a creative out-of-the-box thinker who would work with me to create something unusual. I am a writer and so my budget is limited. I am a very creative thinker and I want my yard to reflect that. My backyard also has a drainage issue so that would have to be taken care of as well.

    Hi Kim, I have family all around you there in Tucker. We love to get together and visit Stone Mountain and The Lakewood Amphitheater. My Cousin had something similar as you described done in her backyard and she had a lot of trees removed. There is a member here on HomeTalk that has a good reputation and is based out of Marietta. They are Amazing Improvements and would probably be happy to discuss your vision. They have several posts of their "outside the box" projects in the area and their HomeTalk profile page is: http://www.hometalk.com/member/ybponrrf1w I hope I've steered you in the right direction, please keep us posted on your progress and AI's performance. Best to you...JL

    Kim, We found out about "Pro Green Nursery" from our neighbors. Todd came in and made our front and back yard look great His contact # (o) 770-831-4538.(c)404-867-6891. They also installed our sprinkler system. The grass looks great and been drought tolerant. He planned the entire yard and has planted trees and shrubs which make the entire driveway and yard look fantastic. Give him a try.

    The only garden landscaper I ever tried to work with wouldn't do things the way I wanted them done...I was pretty picky esp about water runoff and tiering etc. But when he said He wouldn't be responsible for anything to do with my water runoff problems I decided it would be easier to do myself...and when I decided I wanted to just take a huge pallet of flagstone rather than have him take half a day trying to pick out the best ones and off he went...and my brother came in and finished the project in the manner I wanted... I now do what I am able to do and hire people for $10 hour who will just do what I ask not assume they know a thing about plants...made that mistake several times with very expensive plants that are NOT cheap!
