The yard your neighbors ask about.

Chris Whitt's father laid brick across North Alabama, and Chris learned the trade at his elbow: how to set a line, check it, and check it again before the mortar sets. He went on to teach school and coach in Athens for a long time, and the whole time he kept building. He helped build his own house and his family's. He built a sauna. He turned his backyard into a koi pond, a waterfall and a place to sit at the end of the day, and people who see it ask who did it.

When he retired, the yard work he had been doing on the side became the job. Most weeks that means mowing and keeping up a short list of yards around Athens. Some weeks it means a new flower bed, a pond, or a patio. Whatever it is, he reads up on it first and does it the slow way once, so nobody has to do it twice.

Blake came home to Athens this year and started working alongside him. It is the two of us, not a crew. When you text, one of us answers. When we show up, it is the two of us in your yard.

If you are in or around Athens, we would like to take care of your yard.
