Landscape and Hardscape Services

Since 1981, Miller Landscape has designed and built outdoor spaces for homeowners across North Atlanta – from Woodstock and Roswell to Alpharetta, Marietta, and beyond. What started as a small local operation under Bruce Miller has grown into a full design-build company handling everything from paver patios and gunite pools to complete landscape installations and year-round maintenance. We still work the way we did on day one: one property at a time, with a plan built around how you actually live outside. Below, you'll find every service we offer, grouped so you can find exactly what your project needs, along with the specialized work behind each one.

Patios & Pools

Paver Patios

A patio is often where a backyard truly comes to life, and pavers give that space texture, color, and staying power that poured concrete can't match. We help homeowners choose from clay brick, permeable concrete, natural stone, and porcelain options, then handle every step from base excavation to the final pass of polymeric sand. The result is a durable entertaining space, sized and shaped around how your family actually uses the yard, built with the same craftsmanship and attention to detail we bring to every hardscape project we take on.

Gunite Swimming Pools

Few backyard additions change daily life like a pool. Our gunite team shapes each project around your yard's grade, sun exposure, and how your family plans to use the water, then builds in the safety features, lighting, and finishes that hold up season after season. Because gunite is poured and formed on-site rather than dropped in as a shell, the shape, depth, and steps are entirely custom to your property. Explore the design, installation, and renovation stages of a gunite pool project below.

Gunite Pool Design

Every pool begins with a plan that accounts for your yard's slope, sun exposure, and how you'll actually use the space day to day. We map out shape, depth, and features like tanning ledges, spas, or water features before construction starts, so the finished pool fits your property, your family's routines, and your budget from the very first sketch.

Gunite Pool Installation

Once the design is set, our crews handle excavation, steel reinforcement, gunite application, and plumbing with the precision this type of construction demands. We coordinate every trade involved, from electrical to decking, so your pool moves from bare yard to finished water on a predictable timeline, built to the safety and code standards your family and neighborhood require.

Gunite Pool Renovation & Replacement

An aging pool doesn't have to be replaced to feel new again. We resurface gunite shells, update coping and tile, and swap out worn equipment for efficient, modern models, extending the life of your pool by years. Many renovations also add features the original design never included, like tanning ledges, updated lighting, or a refreshed water feature.

Outdoor Living & Entertaining

Outdoor Living

Not every backyard upgrade needs to be permanent to feel transformative. Outdoor living covers the connective spaces between your hardscape and your home – covered patios, pergolas, lounge areas, and transitional zones that turn a yard into a second living room. We plan these areas around shade, sightlines, and everyday traffic flow so furniture, lighting, and landscaping work together instead of competing for attention. It's the layer that ties every other feature in your backyard into one cohesive, usable space.

Outdoor Kitchens

Cooking outside stops feeling like a novelty once the kitchen is built to handle it properly, day in and day out. We design layouts around your grill, storage, and countertop needs, then coordinate the plumbing, gas, and electrical work required to run appliances safely through Georgia's humidity and winters alike. Stainless steel components, weather-rated cabinetry, and stone-faced islands are matched to your patio's existing materials so the finished kitchen reads as part of the space, not an addition bolted onto it after the fact.

Outdoor Fireplaces

There's a reason fireplaces anchor so many backyard designs – they draw people toward them without needing to say a word. We build custom surrounds in stacked stone, cultured stone, brick, or stucco, matched to your home's exterior, and choose between wood-burning warmth or the convenience of gas depending on how often you expect to use it. Ventilation, dampers, and clearances are engineered to code from the very start, so the finished fireplace performs safely through many years of backyard gatherings.

Fire Pits

A fire pit asks for less commitment than a full fireplace but delivers a similar pull on a summer evening. We build them in brick, stone, or concrete, in wood-burning or gas configurations, with options like push-button ignition and adjustable flame height for anyone who wants convenience over ceremony. Placement matters more than people expect – we account for wind, drainage, and distance from structures before construction starts, then finish the surrounding area with matching pavers or low seat walls.

Hardscaping & Masonry

Hardscaping

Hardscape is the structural skeleton beneath a good landscape design – the steps, walls, walkways, and masonry that hold everything else in place and give it shape. Miller Landscape builds these permanent features using materials chosen for the site's drainage, slope, and long-term wear rather than appearance alone, though the finished look still has to match your home's architecture. Retaining walls, garden steps, columns, and custom masonry all fall under this service, each one built to outlast the plantings and furniture around it.

Pavers

Pavers are the material most of our hardscape work is built from, and the range available today goes well beyond the gray concrete slabs most people picture. We install Belgard and Old World-style pavers in clay, concrete, natural stone, and porcelain, sourced through supplier partnerships that give homeowners real options in color, texture, and pattern. Whether the goal is a patio, driveway, or walkway, our certified installers handle layout and setting with the same attention to detail on every single project.

Learn More →

Paver Driveways

A driveway takes more daily abuse than almost any other hardscape feature, so we build ours to prioritize load-bearing strength as much as curb appeal. Site layout, drainage, and base preparation are worked out carefully before a single paver is ever set, which keeps the surface from shifting or settling under vehicle weight over time. We offer a wide range of paver sizes and textures to complement your home's architecture, finished with the same precise alignment we bring to every project we build.

Paver Walkways & Pathways

Walkways do quiet work in a landscape – guiding movement, connecting garden beds, and giving structure to spaces that would otherwise feel open-ended. We plan each path's width, curve, and material with the surrounding plantings in mind, so the route feels natural rather than imposed on the yard. Every transition, from a front entry path to a winding garden trail, is set with attention to spacing and flow, creating a finished walkway that improves how the whole property moves and feels.

Natural Stone

Nothing quite replicates the texture and variation of natural stone, which is why it remains a favorite for patios, walkways, retaining walls, and water features alike. Our team sources and installs stone selected for both durability and the specific character each project calls for, whether that's a rustic fieldstone look or a more refined, contemporary finish. We take on new installations as well as renovations of existing stonework, sizing every job to fit your property, your budget, and your vision.

Retaining Walls

Retaining walls solve a problem before they ever become a design feature – holding soil in place on sloped properties and preventing the erosion that comes with heavy Georgia rain. Built correctly with segmental wall blocks, they also open up new usable space on hillside lots that would otherwise go untouched. Many homeowners use them for terraced gardens or decorative borders once the structural need is met, and we engineer every wall to serve both purposes from the very start.

Decks

A deck earns its keep through daily use, which is why we build ours around how a family actually spends time outside rather than a standard template pulled off a shelf. We talk through your routines – morning coffee, weekend cookouts, evening wind-down – and shape the layout, railings, and finish details to support them. Clear communication runs through every stage of construction, from framing to the final board placement, so the finished deck feels like a natural, lasting extension of your home.

Landscape Design & Care

Landscape Design

Every strong landscape starts on paper before it starts in the yard. Our design team evaluates your property's layout, sun exposure, and drainage, then builds a plan that positions plantings, hardscape, and outdoor living features to work together rather than as separate additions. Budget shapes the process as much as vision does, which is why we offer design tiers ranging from a basic sketch to a full 3D rendering. See our design packages below for the options available to you.

Landscape Design Packages

Not every project needs the same level of design work up front. We offer tiered packages, from a basic layout sketch to a fully rendered 3D plan, so you can choose the amount of detail and investment that fits your budget and timeline before a single plant goes in the ground or a single stone is set.

Landscaping

Landscaping, done well, is a coordinated process rather than a checklist of separate, disconnected jobs handled by different crews. We handle everything from initial planting and sod installation through the ongoing maintenance that keeps a landscape looking the way it did on installation day. Soil conditions, irrigation, and plant selection are all considered together so the finished landscape thrives in Georgia's climate rather than fighting it season after season. Explore our installation and maintenance services below, including online access for existing clients.

Landscape Installations

This is where the design plan becomes a real landscape. Our crews handle grading, planting, hardscape integration, and irrigation setup with the same plan guiding every step of the process, so trees, garden beds, and structural features go in exactly where they were designed to be, built to establish and thrive.

Landscape Maintenance

Once your landscape is installed, ongoing care keeps it looking the way it did on day one. We offer flexible mowing, pruning, and bed maintenance schedules, plus fertilization, aeration, and seasonal clean-ups, tailored to your property's specific needs rather than a one-size-fits-all visit that overlooks what your landscape actually requires.

Maintenance Customer Portal

Existing maintenance clients can view upcoming service dates, past visit history, and invoices anytime through our secure online portal, day or night. It's built to make it easy to stay on top of your property's care schedule and account details without needing to call or email our office for routine, day-to-day updates.

Lawn Maintenance

A healthy lawn depends on consistency more than any single treatment, which is why our maintenance visits follow a set rhythm rather than a one-time fix applied once a year. Mowing, edging, trimming, and weed control are handled on a regular schedule, paired with fertilization programs suited to the season and customized aeration and overseeding when a lawn needs more than routine care. Fall and spring cleanups round out the program, protecting root health and keeping the lawn presentable throughout the entire year.

Planting & Sod

Every planting project starts as an open canvas, and we approach it with an eye for how color, texture, and seasonal change will read months after installation, not just on day one. Trees, shrubs, and perennials are chosen and placed to match your property's architecture and light conditions. For lawns, we evaluate soil composition and usage before recommending a sod variety, so the turf you install is suited to withstand daily life rather than just looking good on delivery day.

Learn More →

Aeration

Compacted soil quietly suffocates a lawn's roots, blocking the air, water, and nutrients that healthy turf depends on. Our aeration process starts with a soil assessment, then creates evenly spaced perforations across the lawn to relieve that compaction and open a path for those elements to reach the root zone. Overseeding and targeted fertilization are available where a lawn needs more than aeration alone, giving thin or stressed areas the support they need to fill back in fully and evenly.

Water Features

Moving water changes how a backyard feels almost immediately – the sound alone shifts a space from purely visual to genuinely calming. We design water features around your property's layout and lighting, using materials chosen for long-term performance so the feature still looks natural years after installation, not just on day one. Whether the goal is a subtle fountain or a more dramatic focal point, our design work aims to blend structure with a sense of ease and quiet, natural motion.

Every project on this page starts the same way – a conversation about your property, your budget, and how you want to use the space once it's finished. Whether you're picturing a single fire pit or a complete backyard rebuild spanning several of these services at once, our team plans the work as one cohesive project rather than a series of disconnected jobs. We've been doing this in North Atlanta since 1981, and that experience shows up in the details: proper drainage, code-compliant construction, and finishes built to hold up through Georgia's seasons.
