Charleston Landscape Design & Build

CHS Contracting is a veteran owned landscape design and build company in Charleston, SC. We create full 2D and 3D CAD landscape plans with hardscape, planting, irrigation, and lighting, then build the project with our own crews across the Charleston metro, with free estimates and a satisfaction guarantee.

A real design takes the guesswork out of a big outdoor project. Instead of pointing at a corner of the yard and hoping it turns out, you see the patio, the beds, the walkways, and the lighting drawn to scale, so you know how it flows, how big everything actually is, and what it will look like before a single shovel goes in the ground.

Because we design and build, the plan is not a glossy drawing that gets handed off to someone else to figure out. The same team that draws it builds it, so the hardscape, planting, irrigation, and lighting are coordinated from day one and the finished yard matches the plan you approved.

What We Build

Full landscape design that you can see to scale before you build, across the Charleston area.

2D & 3D CAD Design

Scaled 2D plans and 3D renderings so you can walk through the finished space and approve it before any work begins.

Full Landscape Plans

Complete plans that lay out planting beds, lawn, trees, hardscape, and grading as one coordinated design.

Hardscape & Patio Design

Patios, walkways, walls, and firepit areas sized and placed on paper so the materials and layout are settled up front.

Irrigation & Lighting Plans

Watering zones and lighting designed into the plan from the start so they fit the planting instead of being added later.

New Build Design

Full outdoor design for new construction, from a bare lot to a finished yard with drainage planned in from day one.

Renovation Design

Redesign of an existing yard that keeps what works, fixes drainage and tired beds, and ties the whole space together.

Design Built For The Lowcountry

A landscape plan in Charleston has to account for the climate, the soil, and the plants that actually thrive here, not a generic palette off a national template.

We design with a Lowcountry plant palette, the live oaks, palms, palmettos, and heat tolerant ornamentals and grasses that hold up to the humidity and bounce back from a hot summer. The result is a yard that looks established faster and is not fighting the climate every season to stay alive.

Drainage is planned into the design, not patched on after. Many local lots sit low and flat, so we work the grading, the dry zones, and the wet zones into the plan from the start. And because plans are drawn to scale and easy to read, they make HOA and architectural review approval far smoother, so your project gets the green light without weeks of back and forth.
