About SML Landscape Designs

Mornings on the Smith Mountain Lake coves near Hardy start under mist, and it lifts off the water about the time the mowers start. SML Landscape Designs works the shoreline yards and the roads back up into the Franklin County hills — mowing, edging and trimming through the green months, plowing and shoveling when the Blue Ridge sends weather down. Lake lots are all slope and angle, which makes a straight-cut line worth something. In winter the same driveways turn steep and slick, and clearing them is its own satisfaction. The view stays the same year round; the work is what changes.
