Greenville has been our home since 2016.
Reedy River Landscapes was founded in Greenville by landscape designer Luke Steffensmeier, and the greater Greenville area is still where most of our work happens. Our trained staff know how Piedmont red clay behaves after a hard Upstate rain, which slopes need a wall and which need a swale, and what materials and structures hold up the best in high summer humidity and freezing winter cold.
We are a true design-build firm: one team draws your plan, prices it, and builds it. There is no handoff between a designer and an unknown crew, no gap in accountability — just a project manager and site supervisor you can reach directly from first sketch to final walkthrough.

What Greenville Yards Actually Need
Prioritizing Drainage
Clay soil and water that has nowhere to go. Upstate red clay sheds water instead of absorbing it, which is why so many Greenville yards flood the same spots every spring. We solve the grade and the drainage first, then build on top of a site that will hold.
Optimizing Slopes, Walls, and Usable Ground
Optimizing Slopes, Walls, and Usable Ground — Many lots are steeper than they look. Engineered retaining walls and terracing turn an unusable bank into a level patio, lawn, or a place to actually sit.
Plantings built for Zone 8a
Plantings built for Zone 8a — Hot, humid summers and unpredictable winters can punish the wrong plants. We lean on native and adapted species — and design for four seasons.

FAQs
Some frequently asked questions.
01 How much does landscaping cost in Greenville, SC?
It depends on scope far more than square footage — a planting refresh and a terraced patio will inevitably have distinct price points. What we do is give you a written, itemized estimate after the on-site consultation, so you’re comparing a real number and not a guess.
02 When is the best time to start a landscaping project in the Upstate?
We build year-round. Fall and winter are the best planting windows in Greenville and typically the easiest months to get on the schedule. Spring books out fastest, so plan a spring install several months ahead.

We design to your HOA’s requirements and provide the plans and detail you need for submittal, and we advise on where county or city permitting applies for walls, drainage, and structures.
