An Elegant Outdoor Setting for a Wedding in Georgia
Landscaping With Purpose, Timing, and Beauty
When a homeowner dreamed of hosting a wedding in their own backyard, they turned to O’Neill Landscape Group to bring that vision to life. What began as an unfinished side yard—overgrown and undefined—was thoughtfully transformed into a refined outdoor space that would feel personal, timeless, and ready for a meaningful event.
With careful design, strategic scheduling, and the right plant choices for Georgia’s climate, the result is a space that not only celebrates one special day but adds long-term value and beauty to the property.

Challenges
& Solutions
Challenge: Preparing for a Specific Event Timeline
Solution: Designed and executed the project on a flexible, well-paced schedule that met both budget and event goals—ensuring the landscape was fully matured in time for the fall wedding.
Challenge: Tough Environmental Conditions
Solution: Accounted for summer heat, deer activity, and heavy shade in plant selection and layout to ensure durability, color, and coverage.
Challenge: Starting From a Blank Slate
Solution: Transformed an underused field into a defined and intentional space for hosting, gathering, and long-term enjoyment.
“This was basically an unfinished side yard—a field of weeds, no plantings, no definition. We turned it into a meaningful space for their family to gather and celebrate.”
