Trusted in Asheville for over 30 years

  • We have a home in Lake Lure, NC and Gardens for Living has done a fantastic job with our landscaping. The work was completed on time and on budget. John Phillips is extremely knowledgeable and is very creative. I would highly recommend him and Gardens for Living.

    MJ B. and Melany F.

  • “John Phillips and The Gardens for Living Team is excellent in all they do. We have worked with them for years and they are part of our team that strives and succeeds at “Exceeding Expectations”. Their work is top notch from design to finish. Gardens for Living is a company that has high levels of integrity. We highly recommend them!”

    Living Stone Construction, Inc.

  • John Phillips of Gardens for Living designed the exterior environment of our newly constructed home in Asheville, and transformed secondary growth woods into an informal garden that beautifully blends into the surrounding woods. The project involved contouring the land, artfully designing steps from rock, placing landscaping lighting and planting an abundance of perennials. John listened carefully to our suggestions and created a landscape that exceeded our expectations.
