Exterior design for gardens, gathering spaces, furnishings and the moments that make a property memorable.
The Sweeter Magnolia
Exterior Design
We design everything outside the walls.
We design and build luxury outdoor living environments that extend the experience of home beyond its walls. From concept through installation, we create spaces that are as intentional, functional, and as beautiful as the homes they surround—places where people gather, relax, celebrate, and make memories for years to come.
For homeowners seeking more than traditional landscaping, our company designs and builds immersive outdoor living environments that elevate everyday life.

Our Process
Design the Plan
We develop the layout, circulation, planting, hardscape, furniture placement, lighting, and key exterior moments as one cohesive design.
Step 1 See The Whole Property
We start with the house, the architecture, the way you arrive, the views, the existing landscape, and how the property already wants to function.
Step 2Finish the Details
Materials, containers, furnishings, lighting, gates, trellises, textiles, and the smaller moments that make the property feel layered and complete.
Step 3Design for Living
Then we think about how the space is actually used: where people gather, eat, sit, entertain, play, or disappear with a glass of wine.
