Southern Legacy Landscape Group serves Charleston and the surrounding coastal islands including Johns Island, Kiawah Island, Seabrook Island, Wadmalaw Island, James Island, Mount Pleasant, and Isle of Palms.

Local Expertise Where It Matters Most

The Lowcountry presents unique challenges for landscape design and maintenance. Sandy soils, tidal influence, salt exposure, and protected wetlands require thoughtful planning and experienced installation practices. Southern Legacy Landscape Group provides professional landscaping services throughout Charleston and the surrounding coastal islands, helping homeowners, builders, and property managers create landscapes that are both beautiful and resilient.

From custom landscape design and installation to drainage improvements, irrigation systems, and long-term landscape maintenance, our team works across Johns Island, Kiawah Island, Seabrook Island, Wadmalaw Island, James Island, Mount Pleasant, and nearby communities. Our familiarity with local soils, climate conditions, and architectural standards allows us to deliver landscaping solutions designed specifically for coastal properties.

We work with clients who value craftsmanship, communication, and a landscape that enhances long-term property value while respecting the character of the Charleston coast.

Kiawah Island and Seabrook Island

Kiawah Island and Seabrook Island are among the most carefully regulated communities in the Charleston region. Our team is highly familiar with local Architectural Review Board requirements and the approval processes that guide exterior improvements and landscape installation.

We design and install refined landscapes that respect the natural maritime forest environment while meeting strict community standards. Plant selections emphasize native and adaptive coastal species such as palmettos, live oaks, wax myrtles, muhly grass, and other salt-tolerant plantings well suited for Kiawah and Seabrook properties.

Southern Legacy provides landscape installation, drainage solutions, irrigation systems, and long-term estate landscape maintenance for coastal homes and private communities throughout these barrier islands. Our experience working within ARB guidelines helps projects move smoothly from concept through completion while maintaining the natural character that defines Kiawah and Seabrook Island landscapes.

Johns Island

Johns Island is one of the most diverse landscapes in the Charleston area, with properties ranging from expansive rural estates and equestrian land to new residential developments and commercial spaces. This variety often requires careful planning for grading, drainage, and large-scale landscape installation.

Our team provides comprehensive landscaping services on Johns Island, including estate-scale landscape installation, irrigation systems, native landscape restoration, and long-term landscape maintenance programs designed for large residential properties.

Southern Legacy frequently works with new construction projects and property renovations on Johns Island, helping homeowners and builders establish landscapes that balance coastal durability with refined design. Whether maintaining an established property or planning a new landscape installation, our team brings structure, foresight, and reliable execution to every project.

Wadmalaw Island

Wadmalaw Island offers a more rural and agricultural environment, where properties often require a different landscaping approach than traditional residential developments. Open land, long driveways, and large property footprints call for thoughtful grading, drainage planning, and durable plant selections suited for coastal conditions.

Southern Legacy provides landscape design, installation, and property maintenance for Wadmalaw Island estates and rural properties, focusing on practical solutions that preserve the natural beauty of the land while delivering a polished and intentional landscape.

Our experience with larger parcels allows us to design landscapes that balance durability, environmental sensitivity, and clean visual structure without overdevelopment.

James Island

James Island combines established residential neighborhoods, commercial corridors, and waterfront properties. This mix requires landscaping solutions that are adaptable and efficient while maintaining strong curb appeal and long-term property value.

Southern Legacy provides professional landscaping services across James Island, supporting homeowners associations, private residences, and commercial properties with reliable landscape maintenance, irrigation management, and landscape improvements.

Our crews are experienced working in active neighborhoods and high-traffic areas, maintaining clean job sites and clear communication while delivering consistent results.

Common landscaping services on James Island include:

Folly Beach and Coastal Properties

Coastal environments demand resilient landscape design. Properties near Folly Beach face constant exposure to salt air, wind, and sandy soil conditions that can quickly stress traditional landscape plantings.

Southern Legacy designs and installs coastal landscapes engineered for barrier island conditions, using salt-tolerant plants, stabilized soils, and irrigation strategies that promote long-term plant health while conserving water.

The result is a landscape that maintains its structure and visual appeal while standing up to the challenging environmental conditions found along the Charleston coast.
