Art Of Stone Gardening

Enhancing your outdoor living space can change how you live and even how much you enjoy your home. Outdoor rooms expand your home's usable area, giving you new places for relaxing, sharing time with loved ones and entertaining. Our temperate climate and the rolling terrain of the Appalachian Mountains foothills make Northeast Georgia an especially pleasant backdrop for adopting a gracious outdoor lifestyle. Art of Stone Gardening has a 20-year history of creating fine landscapes that blend master-level stone masonry with beautiful and sustainable plantings.

You don't become premier designers and builders of the finest outdoor spaces without passion-for the work, for the people you work with, and for excellence in every aspect of the work you take on. Since ground was broken on Art of Stone Gardening in the year 2000, Suzanne and Jason Brosche (pronounced bro-SHAY) have grown these shared passions into a thriving, close-knit enterprise that has enhanced the beauty and functionality of more than 1,200 landscapes across North Georgia. The friendships they've developed with clients and the professional relationships they've forged with colleagues have proved to be every bit as satisfying and long-lasting as the myriad projects on which they've left their signatures.

Together, we'll assess your property, share ideas and talk about options for accomplishing your goals. Next, we'll consider the hardscape aspects of the project. These non-living elements, like patios, walls, steps, fire pits, water features, bridges and even outdoor kitchens, will create structure and form in the landscape. Then we'll draw on our horticultural expertise to suggest plants that will thrive in your property's micro-climate, and we'll learn which of those you'd like to include, based on everything from colors and textures to maintenance considerations.

Our master stonemasons have made their marks on some of the finest landscapes throughout Northeast Georgia, earning Art of Stone Gardening a solid reputation for breathtaking stonescapes that seamlessly marry nature with built structures. All good construction brings out the beauty of our rock and stone creations. Beneath the rustic, outer layers of these artistic creations there is evidence of our broader masonry construction skill sets. For example, the integrity of our stone and rock structures is the result of proper design, engineering and construction of footings and foundations.

The individual elements of the outdoor spaces we create-from the stone patios to the rock walls to the verdant, sustainable gardens-are special in their own rites, but the real magic happens when they come together to change the way you relax, the way you entertain and the new ways you experience living in your home. The outdoor lifestyles we design and build add elegance to nature, inspire gracious hospitality and celebrate moments to remember. What do we mean "from the ground up?" First, the structural integrity of our projects and the sustainability of our gardening practices all begin in the ground, where solid engineering principles and balanced, nutrient-rich soils are the foundations for many years of enjoyment.

Maintaining vibrant, ever-changing perennials and annuals, shrubs, vines, herbs and vegetables is a blissful labor of love for avid gardeners. For others, not so much. If you have limited time, travel a lot or just don't "dig" gardening as much as you enjoy looking at the garden, you might consider having us handle your landscape maintenance for you. After all, even the lowest of low-maintenance landscapes will need some upkeep. Art of Stone Gardening will develop a landscape maintenance plan tailored to your particular property and the specific plant varieties on it, and we'll care for your plants as if they were our own.
