Large lot landscaping, heritage oak care, driveway lighting, and complete outdoor living for homes across Johns Island. Veteran owned, competitively priced, and backed by a satisfaction guarantee on every project.
Johns Island is where rural Lowcountry meets luxury. Big lots, working land, heritage oaks, and high end new construction all share the same island, and the landscaping has to fit the scale. CHS Contracting handles the full outdoor project from one company, so a large property is designed and built as one cohesive plan instead of a patchwork of separate trades.
From Maybank Highway and Fenwick Hall to Kiawah River, Stono Ferry, Rushland, and The Cape, we build landscapes that take advantage of the room you have. That means full packages, native Lowcountry plantings, hardscape, irrigation, and lighting all working together across acreage and long driveways. As the gateway to Kiawah and Seabrook, Johns Island sets a high bar, and the work should hold up to it.
Whether you want a native, low input landscape on a few acres, a complete hardscape and irrigation package on a new build, or careful work around a heritage oak, we scope it, design it, and build it. Every project comes with a satisfaction guarantee, and estimates are always free.
Design through maintenance, all from one veteran owned team.

Johns Island gives you room, rich soil, and some of the most beautiful trees in the country. The trick is doing the scale justice.
The island is built on rich sea island agricultural soil, the same ground that has grown Lowcountry crops for generations, and that gives plantings a real head start. We lean into native and Lowcountry adapted material, palmettos, wax myrtle, muhly grass, hollies, and hardy perennials, so a large landscape looks established quickly and does not fight the local climate. With big lots, the goal is a plan that feels intentional from the road all the way back, not a few beds lost in a sea of lawn.
Johns Island is also home to the Angel Oak and countless heritage live oaks, and those trees change how we design. We protect root zones, avoid grade changes and compaction that stress old oaks, and plant around them so the tree stays the centerpiece. With long driveways and gated entrances common here, lighting matters too, and full landscape, hardscape, and irrigation packages let us treat the whole property, gateway to Kiawah and Seabrook, as one finished space.
