When Hurricane Helene tore through the CSRA, Augusta homeowners were left with damage that stretched from broken trees to compromised outdoor structures. For one home located in the heart of Augusta, just steps from the Augusta National Golf Club, the storm caused significant disruption to their carefully maintained landscape. Retaining walls shifted, walkways cracked, fencing was broken, and plantings were lost.
The homeowners, who often host gatherings and social events, needed not only storm damage repair but also improvements that would make their property more functional moving forward. Verdant Landscape was called in to handle the restoration, ensuring the home’s outdoor spaces were not only repaired but enhanced for beauty, resilience, and convenience.
Restoring and Rebuilding
Retaining Walls: Repaired and reinforced to provide both structural stability and visual appeal.
Walkways: Reset and rebuilt to ensure safe and smooth access throughout the property.
Fencing: Repaired sections to restore both security and aesthetics.
Plantings: Replaced damaged plant material with fresh, healthy selections that complement the home’s existing landscape.
Restoring Stability and Safety
The first step was addressing the structural elements of the landscape. Our team carefully deconstructed compromised retaining walls and rebuilt them with reinforced stability to ensure long-term performance. Not only do these walls provide critical support to the property’s sloped areas, but they also enhance the visual appeal of the landscape by defining space and adding clean lines.
Next, the walkways were reset and rebuilt. These pathways are essential for safe, convenient access around the property, especially with frequent guests. We replaced broken and uneven sections with durable materials that will withstand weather while complementing the home’s architecture.
The fencing was repaired and restored to its original condition, bringing back a sense of security and privacy. A sturdy fence is not just about appearance, it’s about peace of mind, especially after a storm as powerful as Helene.
Reviving the Landscape with New Plantings
Once the structural elements were addressed, we turned our attention to restoring the natural beauty of the property. Plants play a vital role in softening the hardscape and creating a welcoming environment. We replaced damaged shrubs, flowers, and ornamental plants with new selections chosen to thrive in Augusta’s climate. The result was a refreshed and vibrant landscape that brought life back to the property after the devastation of the storm.
Adding Functionality: New Parking Pads
Beyond restoring storm damage, the homeowners saw an opportunity to make functional improvements. Because they often host parties and gatherings, parking was a recurring challenge. To solve this, Verdant Landscape designed and installed new parking pads at the front of the home. These additions provide organized, durable spaces for guest vehicles while enhancing the property’s overall layout.
By addressing a long-standing need alongside storm repairs, the homeowners gained both practicality and long-term value. This type of project illustrates how storm recovery can also open the door for meaningful upgrades.
A Stronger, More Resilient Landscape
When the work was complete, the transformation was clear. What began as a storm-damaged property had been fully restored, and improved. The retaining walls and walkways were stronger and safer than before, the fencing was secure, the plantings were renewed, and the new parking pads added convenience for hosting.
This Augusta home is now ready to welcome family, friends, and guests with a landscape that balances beauty, function, and resilience.
