Specialties
At River Tides, every project begins with a personalized consultation to understand your needs, preferences, and yard conditions—including sun exposure, soil, water access, and climate. These factors are key to creating a healthy, low-maintenance landscape.
We also take time to get to know you and your vision. Whether you love entertaining and want a welcoming space with cohesive plants and hardscapes, or you prefer a private, tranquil retreat, we design with your lifestyle in mind.
Certified Landscape Designer Erin will assess your property and collaborate with you using proven design principles to bring your ideal outdoor space to life.
Meet the Business Owner: Erin W.
River Tides' owner, Erin Welsh, spent her first career as a technologist, where she spent 30+ years in tech. Her vision, planning and execution skills are responsible for many of the technologies that you use today.
Struggling to find someone with a vision and the ability to execute the changes she wanted in her own yard, Erin sought and received a Landscape Design Certificate thru Emory University in 2022 to "do it herself." She continued her education with UGA, focusing on plants that thrive in Zone 9a with particularly salty, sandy soil along with intense sunlight and unpredictable weather patterns.
Now she’s offering these services to others in the area, focusing on low maintenance, hardy local plant selections, using native plants as much as possible. She also sources and delivers landscape materials and has a crew ready to install your dream outdoor living space!
