Half the lots in Mableton fall away toward a creek somewhere, and September rain has a way of taking the red clay with it. S&N landscaping and hardscapes answers that with stone — retaining walls set into a slope, a patio squared and leveled, walkways laid so a yard becomes usable ground instead of a hillside. Around the built work the softer side keeps pace: beds shaped and mulched, shrubs trimmed, the lawn mowed and edged so the hard lines and the green ones agree with each other. Georgia weather tests everything eventually, which is a good reason to build it right the first time. A wall holding, a patio dry, a clean edge where grass meets stone — that is the finished picture.
