Gardens of Babylon Landscapes

What Gardens of Babylon Landscapes does

Gardens of Babylon Landscapes is a privately held, full-service landscaping company headquartered at 900 Rosa L. Parks Blvd in Nashville, Tennessee, operating as Gardens of Babylon, LLC since 2003. The firm delivers a vertically integrated service portfolio spanning landscape architecture and planning, custom landscape design (with 2D/3D renderings), professional installation of pools, outdoor kitchens, patios, fire features, irrigation, lighting, drainage, and multi-sport courts, plus ongoing residential and commercial maintenance programs with add-ons such as compost tea, aeration and overseeding, and seasonal cleanups. It also operates a retail garden center near the Nashville Farmers' Market and a commercial plant-rental service for events and corporate clients.

The customer base is concentrated in seven affluent Nashville-metro communities — Nashville, Franklin, Brentwood, Forest Hills, Oak Hill, Belle Meade, and Berry Hill — and spans residential homeowners, commercial property managers (HOAs, retail centers, office parks, apartment complexes), and corporate event planners. Selected enterprise references include Werthan Lofts, Husk restaurant, and Amazon's UnBoxed Conference at Opryland Resort.

The business model combines one-time design-build project fees, recurring maintenance contracts (which include a 10% garden center discount and up to 12-month warranties), retail plant and accessory sales, and event-based plant rental fees. Acquisition is driven by direct sales via online consultation booking and a phone-first approach, supported by a multi-channel marketing mix of SEO, content marketing, an active social presence across six platforms, an email/SMS "Plant Text Club," and BBB-accredited reputation management. The company employs 51-100 staff, has completed more than 9,000 landscapes since founding, and maintains a 4.8/5 average across 696 third-party reviews.
