Bell Outdoor

What Bell Outdoor does

Bell Outdoor, LLC is a privately-held, founder-led landscape design/build and residential property management firm headquartered at 411 Arnold Rd on St. Simons Island, Georgia, and operating exclusively in the Golden Isles of coastal Georgia. Founded in 2016 by Faulkner Bell, an Auburn University horticulture graduate, the company delivers custom landscape and hardscape design and installation projects — including driveways, patios, walkways, pools, water features, landscape lighting, irrigation systems, and arboriculture — for affluent residential property owners on St. Simons Island, Sea Island, and surrounding communities. The core technology is standard landscape design/build and horticultural services, augmented by third-party certifications (Belgard Authorized Contractor, ICPI Certified Segmental Concrete Pavement Installer, NALP Safe Company) and strategic vendor partnerships with Tremron and Soake Pools.

The business model blends one-time project fees (custom landscape design/build installation) with a growing subscription-based Residential Management line covering routine inspections, proactive maintenance, pre-arrival preparations, holiday lighting, housekeeping, and storm protection for private estates and vacation properties. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with each engagement customized to property requirements and material selections. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer via on-site consultations and project proposals, with customers acquired primarily through an extensive project portfolio website, Instagram and Facebook presence, customer testimonials, word-of-mouth referrals, and earned media in publications such as Lawn & Landscape, Turf Magazine, and Elegant Island Living.

The company has 11-50 employees, is wholly owned by its founder with no external institutional investment, and has no disclosed subsidiaries, acquisitions, or regulatory actions. Its competitive position rests on localized craftsmanship reputation, formal horticultural credentials, and dense vendor relationships within a single affluent micro-market — a profile that supports premium pricing but limits scale and creates meaningful geographic concentration risk.
