Our Heritage
Rootedintradition,refinedformodernliving.
Priority Landscaping began on Folly Beach in 1996 with a simple belief: exceptional landscapes are built through local knowledge, honest relationships and care that lasts well beyond installation. Nearly three decades later, that same approach guides a full-service team trusted to design, build and maintain more than 300 residential and commercial properties across Charleston and the Sea Islands.
From salt air and sandy soils to drainage, turf health and year-round growth, we understand what Lowcountry properties demand. Our designers, technicians, project managers and maintenance crews work as one team—creating landscapes that feel established, function beautifully and grow better with time.
“It’s important to keep our money local.”

Lowcountry expertise
Landscapinghererequireslocalknowledge.
- 01Coastal soils
- Sandy, salt-influenced soils behave differently than inland ground. Plant selection, bed preparation and nutrition all have to account for it.
- 02Water and drainage
- Heavy rain, high water tables and flat lots make drainage part of nearly every project. Dry wells, French drains, sump pumps and culvert piping are routine work here.
- 03Saltwater exposure
- Storm surge and salt spray damage turf and plantings. We help clients recover lawns and choose material that tolerates the exposure.
- 04Heat, humidity and turf stress
- Long warm seasons drive fungus, weeds and insect pressure. Our twelve-month turf program is built around that cycle instead of a handful of visits.
- 05Palms and trees
- Palm installation, pruning and tree care take equipment and experience — especially on tight coastal lots and raised homes.
- 06Storms
- When weather moves through, cleanup, debris removal and tree work come first so the property is safe and usable again.
