Landscaping
Full-service landscaping in McDonough that improves how your property looks and functions.
Turn Your Outdoor Space Into Something Usable
You have a yard in McDonough that does not work the way you need it to. Maybe drainage sends water toward your foundation, beds are overgrown with the wrong plants, or your lawn struggles in areas with too much shade or compacted soil. Sanders Landscaping & Maitenance designs and installs landscapes that solve real problems while creating outdoor spaces you actually want to use.
Landscaping services include site assessment, design planning, grading and drainage correction, soil preparation, sod or seed installation, planting beds with shrubs and groundcover, mulching, and hardscape coordination if needed. We work with your budget and timeline to prioritize what matters most, whether that means fixing a functional issue first or starting with curb appeal and adding features over time.
If you need a landscape plan for your McDonough property that addresses real challenges and improves how you use your outdoor space, contact us to schedule a site visit and discuss options.
How We Plan and Install Your Landscape
We start by walking your property in McDonough to identify drainage patterns, sun exposure, soil conditions, and how you currently use the space. From there, we develop a plan that addresses problem areas first and layers in plantings, turf, and hardscape elements that match your goals and maintenance preferences. Installation involves grading low spots, amending soil, setting plants at proper depths, and mulching beds to retain moisture and reduce weeds.
Once the work is finished, you will see water draining away from structures instead of pooling, plants that are sized appropriately for their locations, and turf that establishes evenly without thin or muddy patches. Your yard will look intentional and feel usable rather than patched together or neglected.
We source plants that perform well in Georgia clay and handle summer heat without constant intervention. If your project includes irrigation, lighting, or retaining walls, we coordinate with specialists to keep everything on schedule and integrated into the overall design. This service does not include ongoing maintenance contracts, but we can refer you to care plans that keep your new landscape healthy after installation. Projects typically take one to three weeks depending on size and complexity.

What homeowners usually ask before starting
Most people want to know how long installation takes, what happens to their existing yard, and how soon they can use the space after we finish.
What happens to plants or grass already in the yard?
We remove or relocate plants that conflict with the new design and strip out old turf in areas where grading or soil work is needed. Healthy plants in good locations are often incorporated into the plan to save cost and preserve maturity.
How long before new sod or plants look established?
Sod roots into soil within two to three weeks if watered properly, and you can walk on it lightly after that. Shrubs and trees take a full growing season to establish strong root systems, but they will look healthy and fill out visibly within a few months.
Why does my yard need grading if it looks flat?
Even slight slopes that are hard to see can direct water toward foundations, driveways, or low spots that stay soggy. Grading corrects these subtle grades so water moves away from structures and does not create long-term moisture problems.
What if I want to do the project in phases?
We design with phasing in mind so each stage is functional on its own and ties into future work without redoing completed areas. Most homeowners start with drainage and turf, then add beds and plantings as budget allows.
How do you choose which plants to use?
We select plants based on your site conditions, maintenance preferences, and visual goals. Everything we install is suited to McDonough weather patterns, soil types, and typical sun exposure so it performs without constant fertilization or replacement.
