The Nature by Design ATL Garden Style Guide

What should your garden feel like?

Your favorite garden is usually less about a label and more about the feeling you want to come home to.

Start with what draws you in

You do not have to choose just one.

Most personal landscapes blend two directions: perhaps the structure of a tailored garden with the movement of a natural one, or a modern foundation softened by woodland planting. Notice the shapes, colors, textures, and level of formality that feel right to you.

Tailored & Timeless

Defined shapes, layered evergreens, restrained color, and a polished sense of arrival.

Best for traditional homes, formal entries, and homeowners who prefer structure through every season.

Soft & Natural

Loose drifts, graceful movement, soft color, and plantings that feel collected rather than arranged.

Best for relaxed homes, pollinator-friendly gardens, and landscapes that change beautifully with the seasons.

Woodland & Restful

Textured foliage, quiet paths, layered shade plants, and a calm connection to the existing trees.

Best for shaded properties, natural slopes, and intimate garden rooms.

Clean & Modern

Simple lines, repeated forms, edited plant palettes, and strong contrast between planting and hardscape.

Best for contemporary homes, smaller spaces, and homeowners who appreciate clarity and restraint.
