🌿 As you pass by, you see the beauty…

What you don’t always see is the hard work that goes into creating it.
This beautiful landscape features Dwarf Mondo Grass, also known as Dwarf Monkey Grass, carefully planted by our hardworking crew. From preparing the beds to planting each piece, it takes time, teamwork and plenty of hands-on work to create the finished look.
Here are the people behind the beauty. 💪🌿

We’re proud of the work our team does—and even prouder of the landscapes they create.

🌸 Flower Friday 🌸

As school starts back and summer vacations begin to feel like a memory, we’re still holding on to a little bit of that summer feeling. ☀️✈️🌺
Today’s Flower Friday takes us to Victoria, British Columbia, where the beautiful The Butchart Gardens are putting on quite a show!
The hydrangeas are absolutely stunning—full, colorful, and a perfect reminder that there’s still plenty of beauty to enjoy before summer officially slips away. 💙💜🌿
So while backpacks are being packed and routines are starting again, let’s take a moment to enjoy a little garden inspiration from one of the most beautiful places in the world.

Happy Flower Friday! 🌸

From selecting the plants to loading them up and getting them in the ground, our team enjoyed bringing this commercial landscape to life. 🌿🌸🏵
And we love seeing how a little color can make such a beautiful difference!

🌧️ Rainy Days Reveal Drainage Problems

💧 A friendly reminder from last year that's just as important today.
After the next rainfall, inspect your yard for standing water. Catching drainage problems early can help prevent bigger issues down the road.
Proper drainage protects your landscape—and your home.

Drainage Check-Up: Don’t Wait for a Downpour!

Have you noticed pooling water or mildew smells near patios or plant beds? New Orleans’ fall rains can be heavy — and proper drainage is key to avoiding costly damage.

👷‍♀️ This month, take a walk around your yard after a rain and look for trouble spots. We can help evaluate grading, soil conditions and hardscape slopes.

Every beautiful landscape starts with a vision... and hard work. 💚
Fresh sod creates an instant green lawn, while azaleas provide seasonal color, agapanthus add striking blooms, and liriope gives the landscape a clean, finished border. It's a combination that looks great today and will continue to mature beautifully.

A little throwback, but our commitment hasn't changed. 🌿
For years, we've helped homeowners keep their landscapes healthy and beautiful—whether they're home every day or away for weeks. Reliable maintenance never goes out of style.

We have quite a few clients that do not reside in New Orleans year around. As a result, they rely on Exterior Designs to maintain their landscape while they are away. We offer affordable lawn care and landscape maintenance options for homeowners. We will visit regularly to completely maintain your landscape or provide support to complement your already established maintenance efforts. The benefit to having us maintain your landscape is we can identify, correct and prevent problem areas! Contact us at (504) 866-0276 to reserve your next maintenance visit!

🌿 Summer Landscape Tip 🌿

If you have boxwoods, put the hedge trimmers away for a few weeks!
From late July through August, avoid trimming boxwoods. Pruning during this time can increase the risk of boxwood blight, a disease that can spread during trimming.
When in doubt, wait until the timing is right—and always use clean tools.
A little patience now can help keep your boxwoods healthy for years to come.
