Landscape and Ornamentals
With Georgia’s excellent climate and location, professional landscape and lawn care businesses are one of the largest growing sectors in Georgia and make up Georgia’s “Green Industry”. This industry not only provides beautification through the installation of ornamental plantings but designs and manages landscapes to address environmental challenges including stormwater runoff, erosion control, heat island effect, and pollinator protection.
