Knoxville Landscape Company Branching Out

You’ve surely seen their signs in yards and on trucks throughout Knoxville and the surrounding region, but what you may not know is that Acadia Landscape Company offers much more than just landscape / hardscape installation.

“It all starts with a design,” say designer Julie Cooper and landscape architect Patrick Beasley. “Acadia has developed a reputation for working hand-in-hand with their clients to develop unique gardens and outdoor living spaces that are perfectly suited to their individual needs.”

Acadia’s chief operator, Phil Bonifacio, agrees. “More and more of our clients are looking for a one stop shop – someone they can trust to blend good ideas and quality materials into a functional outdoor garden. And because more of our work involves our entire spectrum of landscaping services, we’ve recently expanded to a new location in the old Ellenburg Nursery space at 5805 Walden Drive (off of Northshore Drive near Kingston Pike).”

The new facility allows Acadia to stock samples of hardscaping materials, plants, fountains and containers, which makes the selection process easier and more involved for the client.

In addition to their new location, Acadia is offering expanded landscape architecture services, including LEED-certified plans for those looking for environmentally friendly landscaping services. Or, as Phil points out, you can still install the exact same eco-friendly garden but not worry about “counting points.” “LEED certification is a point system, with pre-set guidelines for making a project more environmentally friendly. Developers and commercial projects will do it in for tax breaks, but most of our residential clients do out of the goodness of their hearts.”

In time, Acadia hopes to offer a variety of plants and shrubs unique to their company. “We plan on stocking hard-to-acquire varieties that are currently unavailable in this region — shrubs, trees and flowers that will make a landscape unique.”
