City Garden Company

City Garden Company is a landscaping business in Athens, GA. It offers custom landscape design and build services across North Georgia, including Athens and the surrounding countryside. The company handles the full scope of outdoor projects, from updating classic front yards near the University of Georgia to building out outdoor sanctuaries in rural areas. Its services include addressing stormwater challenges, managing municipal regulations, and executing hardscaping and horticulture. The team navigates local ordinances, zoning, site approvals, tree protection, and water management to ensure projects remain compliant and move forward efficiently. The business holds a 5.00 rating based on 5 reviews.

The design and build approach is led by Patrick Bell, the owner and design plus build lead, who brings decades of hands-on experience in landscaping, hardscaping, and project management. He oversees each project from concept to completion, managing details from the first paver to the final plant. Danielle Calenti supports operations, having worked for more than a decade to get the company off the ground. With a background in natural sciences, she focuses on botany and keeps projects running smoothly by supporting clients throughout the design and build process. The company’s work balances modern design with essential functionality, as seen in a mid-century modern curb appeal project in Ravenwood, Athens, where the team solved stormwater damage to a foundation while creating a welcoming front yard with a fire pit and clean lines. Another notable project transformed a suburban Atlanta backyard into a modern outdoor living space featuring a custom-painted brick gas fireplace, a saw-cut concrete patio, and a fully equipped custom-framed outdoor kitchen.

City Garden Company has received recognition for its work in landscape design. Its awards include the 2025 Atlanta Magazine Georgia Design Awards, the 2025 APLD International Landscape Design Awards, and the 2025 Georgia Urban AG Council. It has also received multiple Houzz Best in Service awards from 2015 through 2024, as well as a Houzz Best in Design award in 2021. These recognitions reflect the care the team brings to every project and the trust its community places in its craftsmanship.

City Garden Company serves Athens and surrounding areas, bringing a thoughtful eye to landscapes ranging from shaded in-town gardens to expansive rural properties. Its work in Athens is rooted in the city’s unique character, blending college-town energy, historic neighborhoods, and artistic spirit into outdoor spaces that feel at home in their place.
