Earth Designs

What Earth Designs does

Earth Designs, LLC is a privately held boutique hardscape and landscape design-build firm headquartered in Little Rock, Arkansas, with a secondary presence in Hot Springs. Founded in 2001 and operating as a founder-owned LLC with approximately 15 employees, the company serves Central Arkansas homeowners seeking high-end, custom outdoor living environments—including patios, walkways, driveways, retaining walls, pool surrounds, fire features, and outdoor kitchens. The firm operates a unified design-build model in which the same team of architects who produce the plans also execute the construction, an arrangement the company credits with seamless transitions and reduced scope ambiguity.

The firm's service offering is anchored in traditional masonry and landscape craft, drawing on industry certifications (CSRWI through NCMA and PICP through ICPI) and a curated supplier ecosystem. Inputs include natural stone from Stone Universe, concrete pavers from TECHO BLOC, exclusive fire-feature burners from Warming Trends, and artificial turf installed through an exclusive partnership with Arkansas Luxury Lawns. Notable project evidence—including the T. Lee testimonial covering pool, fire feature, artificial turf, and stepping pads, and the Corbett Project featuring Ivory Travertine in a French Pattern—supports a positioning in premium, design-led residential outdoor transformations.

Earth Designs makes money through project-based, quote-driven professional services engagements with residential consumers in Central Arkansas. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies with project scope, materials, and complexity, but the firm markets itself to a high-end clientele pursuing comprehensive outdoor living projects rather than commodity landscaping. Lead generation runs through direct phone consultations (501-690-4600), website contact forms, a Facebook presence, and referral flows from pool contractors and other trade partners. There is no disclosed funding, M&A, or external investor activity; the company appears to be operated as an independent lifestyle business sustained by reputation and word-of-mouth.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• TruGreen: National lawn care and landscape services franchise with millions of residential customers. Overlaps with Earth Designs on residential landscape maintenance and certain design/installation services, but operates a mass-market, recurring-service model rather than boutique design-build.
• BrightView Landscapes: Largest U.S. commercial and residential landscape services company, offering landscape design, installation, and maintenance at national scale. Compares to Earth Designs as the broad incumbent across the same residential outdoor services category, but at vastly larger scale and broader scope.
• Davey Tree Expert Company: Large established residential and commercial tree care and landscape services company. Comparable to Earth Designs on the landscape services axis serving homeowners and commercial clients, but offers broader portfolio (tree care, utility services) rather than specialized hardscape design-build.

Emerging players

• Tilly: Online landscape design service providing professional design plans paired with a vetted contractor network. Competes for the same homeowner-driven landscape project pipeline as Earth Designs, but uses remote design rather than an integrated local design-build team.
• Yardzen: Online landscape design platform connecting homeowners with professional designers and contractor networks. Targets the same residential customer seeking custom outdoor design that Earth Designs serves, but with a technology-enabled, lower-touch delivery model.

Others

• Belgard: Major hardscape manufacturer of pavers, retaining walls, and outdoor living products with a national contractor network. Comparable as a strategic supplier and partner (similar role to TECHO BLOC for Earth Designs) and adjacent through its design resources for landscape contractors.
• SiteOne Landscape Supply: Largest U.S. distributor of landscape supplies, hardscape products, irrigation, and lighting. A key supplier-side participant in the same value chain Earth Designs operates in, comparable as an ecosystem counterpart serving landscape contractors nationwide.
• Unilock: Manufacturer of concrete pavers and segmental retaining walls with a contractor locator and design support programs. Comparable as an industry enabler serving landscape contractors like Earth Designs, including shared emphasis on premium hardscape design and installation training.
