Lowcountry Trades Showcase — August 2026
Artisan Landscapes
Introduction
Artisan Landscapes designs and builds outdoor living spaces across Charleston, Daniel Island, Mount Pleasant, Isle of Palms, Johns Island, and James Island — patios, hardscapes, lighting, irrigation, and the planting that ties it all together. Led by president Joel W. Dodd, the company also runs an ongoing plant-care program, Artisan Aftercare, built around the idea that the relationship doesn't end when the install does.
The Project
This month's showcase follows a full backyard build in Hobcaw: grading, hardscape, planting beds, and a finished outdoor living layout built from the ground up.
The Work
Coverage included ground-level walkthroughs of the finished space alongside drone passes that show how the whole property ties together — something a phone camera at eye level can't capture.
The People
Every one of these projects comes down to a crew putting in the hours on-site, in Charleston heat, getting the grading and hardscape details right before a single plant goes in the ground.
The Craftsmanship
The details that make a backyard feel finished — clean hardscape lines, thought-out sightlines, planting that actually matches the space — are easy to miss in a few photos and obvious in a full walkthrough.
Why We Chose Them
Artisan's backyard work is consistently some of the most visually complete project coverage we shoot — full transformations with a clear before and after, backed by an aftercare program that most landscapers don't bother offering.
