About Us
Southern Legacy Landscape Group is a premier landscaping company serving Charleston, SC and the surrounding barrier islands including Kiawah Island, Seabrook Island, Johns Island, and Mount Pleasant. Founded by horticulture professionals Tyler Collins and Luke Strehl, Southern Legacy specializes in high-end residential landscaping, estate maintenance, and custom outdoor environments designed for the Lowcountry lifestyle.
Our Story
Southern Legacy Landscape Group was born from a desire to build something better. After years of working for large, national landscaping firms, founders Tyler Collins and Luke Strehl saw a gap in the local market. High-end clients in Charleston and the barrier islands needed a firm that could combine the resources and capabilities of a large company with the personal attention and agility of a local business.
We aren’t just contractors; we are neighbors dedicated to enhancing the beauty of our community. We built Southern Legacy to provide a “one-stop-shop” experience for clients who demand quality. Whether you are building a custom home on Kiawah Island or managing a sprawling commercial complex in the Charleston area, our mission remains the same: to build relationships through reliable, exceptional service.
