Landscape Design and Installation in Conway, AR

Olive Branch Landscape Management designs and installs landscapes for homes and businesses in Conway, Faulkner County and the Little Rock metro, including Greenbrier, Vilonia, Maumelle and Sherwood. A good landscape design starts with your yard as it really is: the clay soil, the slope, where water runs and how much sun each bed gets. We draw a plan around that, pick plants that thrive in Central Arkansas heat and humidity, and our own crew installs it. See finished work on our projects page. One team handles the design, the planting, the hardscape and the lighting, so the finished yard looks like the plan. Call (501) 513-7573 for a free consultation.

What Goes Into a Landscape Design That Lasts in Central Arkansas

Pretty on day one is easy. Here’s what we plan for so your landscape still looks good in five years.

Soil and Drainage First

We look at grading and where water goes before we pick a single plant. Amended beds and proper drainage keep roots out of soggy clay.

Plants Picked for Arkansas

We use native and adapted plants that handle 100 degree summers, humidity and the occasional ice storm, like hollies, loropetalum, crape myrtles and native grasses.

Year-Round Structure

Evergreens, hardscape and layered beds give the yard shape in winter, with color from perennials and seasonal plantings the rest of the year.

Built for Your Maintenance Level

Want it low-maintenance? We design for that with spacing, mulch, edging and irrigation so the yard doesn’t outgrow itself.

Landscape Design vs. Landscape Installation: What's the Difference?

Landscape design is the plan: the layout of beds, plants, paths, patios and lighting on paper. Landscape installation is building it. Some companies only design and some only install. We do both, which means the person who drew your plan is on site while it’s built, and nothing gets lost between the drawing and the yard. You can install the whole design at once or in phases over a few seasons.

Planting Seasons in Conway and Central Arkansas

Fall is the best time to plant trees and shrubs here. Cooler air and warm soil let roots grow all winter before summer heat. Spring works well for perennials and warm season sod like Bermuda and Zoysia. We design year-round and schedule each part of the install for the right season.

Landscape Design Across Conway and the Little Rock Metro

We design landscapes across Central Arkansas. In established Conway neighborhoods near Hendrix and downtown, that’s often renovating overgrown foundation beds. In newer subdivisions in Greenbrier, Vilonia and Centennial Valley, it’s turning a bare builder yard into a finished landscape. In Maumelle, west Little Rock and Sherwood, it’s shade gardens, slopes and full backyard outdoor living spaces.
