Classic Colonial Landscaping
Elegant plantings with natural stone detail
Colonial Landscape Installation in Knoxville, TN
This stately brick home in Knoxville was designed with a timeless Colonial aesthetic, and the landscaping needed to match. The homeowners wanted an exterior that felt refined, balanced, and true to the home’s architecture. Our team at Property Docktors completed a full front landscape installation using a classic combination of structured plantings, natural stone edging, and decorative river rock for a clean, polished finish that complements the home perfectly.

Client Goals
The client wanted the landscape to feel elegant and cohesive with the home’s Colonial design. Clean lines, symmetry, and low-maintenance materials were priorities. The planting layout and stone choices needed to enhance the home’s architecture without overpowering it.
Key goals included:
-
- A timeless, structured landscape design
- Plant selection that complements the home’s style and color palette
- Durable, maintenance-friendly materials
- Defined beds with natural stone edging and decorative river rock
Our Process
We began by designing a planting layout that followed the home’s strong architectural lines. Boxwoods and evergreen shrubs were placed strategically to frame entryways and corners, providing year-round structure.
Our installation process included:
-
- Grading and preparing planting beds for proper drainage
- Installing Reubel stone edging to create defined, natural borders
- Adding 25 tons of tri-color blend river stone for texture and contrast
- Planting 90 shrubs and ornamentals for balanced symmetry and curb appeal
The tri-color river stone, with its blend of tans, browns, and greys, adds subtle contrast to the red brick façade while ensuring easy long-term maintenance. The result is a classic landscape that enhances the home’s timeless charm.
