Portfolio
When someone searches “Landscaper Charleston SC,” they’re often looking for visual proof. They want to see what’s possible. They want inspiration, creativity, and assurance that the firm they choose can deliver work that’s beautiful, functional, and lasting. That’s where our portfolio comes in. But for us at REMARK Studio, the portfolio is more than a gallery-it’s a story. A story of our clients, our values, and the process we use to turn ideas into living spaces. This is why our client’s trust REMARK Studio.
As a licensed landscape architecture firm based in Charleston, we’ve been privileged to work on projects that range from compact urban courtyards to large multi-acre estates and larget Master Plans. From high-end residential to commercial developments, our designs respond to both place and people. We design not just for today’s photos but for how a space will feel five or ten years from now. That long-term vision is what makes us different from a typical Landscaper Charleston SC.
One of the things you’ll notice as you scroll through our work is variety-coastal-modern patios with steel planters and concrete pavers, native meadows surrounding Lowcountry retreats, crisp formal gardens echoing traditional Charleston architecture, and even an authentic Tee-Pee. But beneath that visual variety is a consistent approach rooted in three values: innovation, collaboration, and stewardship.
Take the Upper Peninsula project in Charleston. We were hired to create outdoor environments for a multi-family development that had tight space constraints, high traffic, and minimal existing vegetation. The client didn’t just want a pretty space—they wanted a usable one. Somewhere for residents to gather, relax, and connect. We responded with a mix of materials that included permeable paving, planting to softened the hard edges, native grasses that could handle heat and low irrigation, native perennials for pollinating and seating zones that encouraged community. That’s innovation with a purpose which is also how we create Aesthetic Ecology.
Or consider one of our residential estate projects just outside of downtown. The homeowners had a vision of modern elegance-something refined but not cold, natural but not wild. We worked closely with their interior designer and builder to ensure the landscape echoed the same tonal palette and material language used inside the home. We specified native evergreen screening, native trees, simple and clean hardscape, and discreet lighting. The result? A seamless indoor-outdoor experience that feels like one cohesive space that merges with the architecture and interior of the home. That’s collaboration in the truest sense.
A client on Kiawah Island wanted something that felt untamed-but controlled. They didn’t want a golf-course lawn. They wanted texture, movement, a sense of place. We pulled together a planting palette of native grasses, dwarf palmettos, yaupon holly, and seasonal perennials. Then we carved out gravel pathways that twisted through the site like trails. It was all about restraint. About letting the land breathe and express itself. That’s stewardship-designing in a way that highlights nature, not overwhelms it.
We’ve also worked on rain gardens and green infrastructure throughout Charleston-projects that most people won’t notice at first glance, but that perform essential functions. One client had frequent flooding on their lot. Instead of hiding it, we made it a feature-building a lush rain garden that collects and filters runoff naturally. That’s where innovation meets ecology. Again Aesthetic Ecology. That’s the level of thinking people deserve when they hire a Landscaper Charleston SC.
Each project begins the same way: we listen. We visit the site. We study the patterns-sun, shade, wind, water. We think about how people move, how they gather, where they rest, where they create memories that will last a lifetime. We think about transitions, frames, vistas. Then we sketch, we study, we revise. And we present options that feel exciting-but grounded with the client’s vision in mind.
We also believe in the power of good bones. A great landscape starts with thoughtful grading and hardscape. Every step, every wall, every edge matters. Our portfolio reflects that-from stepped terraces to fire pits to reclaimed brick paths. And every material we select is chosen with performance, maintenance, and context in mind.
In downtown Charleston, for example, we used reclaimed bluestone to match the historic character of an 18th-century home. In Mount Pleasant, we used modern concrete pavers with gravel joints to meet permeability codes and reduce runoff. In every case, the materials are there to serve both the land and the client.
What you won’t see in our portfolio-but what every project includes-is the behind-the-scenes coordination. The meetings with ARBs. The calls with engineers. The budgeting with builders. The updates to homeowners. That’s collaboration in action. It’s what turns a beautiful plan into a successful build.
You’ll also see a consistent commitment to plant health. We don’t just plant pretty things. We choose plants that belong. That thrive, add structure, seasonal interest, and habitat. That’s part of our stewardship. It’s why we use native species wherever possible. It’s why we educate our clients about maintenance. And it’s why our projects look good not just on day one-but on day 1,000.
One of my favorite projects was a compact courtyard garden we did for a couple who had downsized from a large property. They wanted something intimate but not cramped. Lush but manageable. We designed a layered garden that wrapped around a small lawn panel. The bones were strong-crisp walkways, water feature, a low wall that doubled as seating. But it was the planting that brought it to life: fern textures, soft grasses, seasonal color. They told us it was the first time they enjoyed being outside at home in years. That’s the emotional payoff of doing this right.
Our portfolio also includes work in hospitality-small resorts, inns, event venues. In those spaces, the landscape isn’t just decoration-it’s part of the guest experience. It’s the first impression. The setting for a wedding photo. The pathway to a quiet moment. That’s where every detail matters. And that’s where we thrive.
When clients search “Landscaper Charleston SC,” we want them to find work that speaks for itself. But we also want them to feel the thought behind it. The care. The craft. That’s what our portfolio is built to showcase.
And while the imagery is important, we also believe in narrative. That’s why our project pages include more than just pictures. We explain the goals, the challenges, the solutions. Because our work is about more than aesthetics-it’s about intention.
If you explore our portfolio today, you’ll see both built work and conceptual designs, and master plans. You’ll see large properties and small spaces. You’ll see a consistent sensitivity to context and a respect for the natural world. That’s our commitment to stewardship showing up in every detail.
We don’t repeat templates. We don’t cut corners. Every project is a custom response. And every portfolio image is the result of dozens-sometimes hundreds-of decisions made with you and your site in mind. And we are on time and on budget.
So whether you’re building a new home, restoring a historic property, or simply dreaming about transforming your yard, we hope our work inspires you to think bigger, feel deeper, and imagine more.
REMARK Studio is more than a design firm. We’re your partner in making outdoor space matter. In bringing beauty, order, and meaning to the places where life unfolds.
So when you search for “Landscaper Charleston SC,” remember that behind every image in our portfolio is a relationship, a process, and a promise-to create landscapes that reflect who you are and what you care about most.
