Reviving a Lowcountry Estate for a Dream Wedding

When our client came to us with a vision to bring new life to their old Lowcountry estate, we knew it would be a transformation to remember.

The property, once beautiful but long overgrown and neglected, needed a complete refresh—not just for everyday use, but to become the stunning backdrop for their daughter’s upcoming wedding.

Our first step was to tackle the overgrown landscape. We carefully cleared away years of wild growth and removed several small trees that were crowding the space and blocking the natural flow of the property. With the land opened up, we turned our attention to reshaping and revitalizing the terrain.

The clients dreamed of a lush, level landscape where they could host friends and family for this special occasion, so we brought in over 300 yards of fill dirt to help regrade the property and create a smooth, walkable surface throughout. Once the ground was properly leveled and prepared, we laid high-quality sod across the entire estate, creating a rich, green canvas that would photograph beautifully and feel incredible underfoot.

To support the extensive new lawn, we installed a comprehensive irrigation system, ensuring the grass would stay healthy and vibrant well beyond the wedding day. Attention to detail was key, so we didn’t stop there—every planting bed was carefully cleaned out and redefined, and we finished the project with a fresh layer of pine straw mulch throughout, giving the estate that polished Southern charm.

What was once an overgrown and tired landscape is now a picturesque estate ready to host a lifetime of memories. It was a true honor to help this family create a setting as beautiful as the moment it will host.
