What We Do

Landscape, Hardscape, Site Prep

One crew covering the work most homeowners split across three contractors — design, build, grade, plant, water, and haul it away after.

Landscape Design

Full yard design including plantings, beds, trees, turf, and layout. We scope honestly — you'll hear what will work in Atlanta soil and what won't.

Hardscape + Patios

Paver patios, retaining walls, walkways, fire pits, steps. Proper base prep, clean edge work, and lines that still look right in five years.

Sod + Grading

Land leveling, soil amendments, sod install. We've leveled yards for backyard kid pools and regraded after construction for proper drainage.

Irrigation

Sprinkler system design, install, repair. Drip lines for beds, rotor heads for lawn, smart controllers. Water saved is money saved.

Tree Work + Stumps

Tree trimming, removal, planting, and stump grinding. The trees that are overgrown, storm-damaged, or in the wrong place — we handle.

Excavation + Junk Removal

Site prep, debris haul-off, old-landscape rip-out, post-construction cleanup. Start fresh without coordinating a separate hauler.

Water Features

Ponds, fountains, small water-feature install and repair. The accent that elevates a backyard from yard to garden.

Artificial Turf

Synthetic turf install for high-traffic areas, pet yards, and shaded lawns where grass won't grow. Proper base, permeable, long-wearing.

What Customers Say

4.5 Stars. Jose Named by Name.

Jose personally shows up. That's the pattern across review after review — customers know his name because he's the one on the site, not in an office.

Our Story

Jose Morales, Owner-Operator

Six Years. One Crew. One Phone.

Jose Morales founded Morales Landscape & Construction in 2019 with a simple idea: one crew, full scope. Not a design firm that subcontracts install. Not a lawn company that won't touch hardscape. One five-person team that handles the design, the grading, the planting, the stones, the trees, and the cleanup.

Six years later, that model hasn't changed. Jose does estimates personally. The customer reviews mention him by name because he's the one doing the walk-through, answering the questions, and often swinging the shovel. It's why 34 Thumbtack customers have hired him across full-yard transformations, hardscape-only projects, and everything in between.

Single-source landscape and construction means fewer coordination failures. One invoice, one warranty, one person you call when something needs attention.

Common Questions

Landscape FAQ

Yes. Design firms typically hand off to install contractors; that hand-off is where projects get sloppy or expensive. Jose handles the design walk-through AND the crew doing the install, so nothing is lost in translation.
Yes — small-to-mid removal, stump grinding, and replanting. Very large or hazardous removals near structures we refer to certified arborists; we'll tell you honestly if your tree is in that category.
Yes. Paver patios, walkways, fire pits, steps, retaining walls up to standard heights. Proper base prep is the whole game — that's where we do not cut corners.
Yes. Junk removal and post-construction haul-off are standard offerings — especially useful on rip-out and replant jobs where the existing landscape has to go before the new one comes in.
Depends on scope and season. Small jobs (sod, cleanup, stump) often within a week. Full-yard design/build projects typically need 2-4 weeks from first estimate to start. Jose will give you a real timeline, not a sales pitch.
