Landscape Design & Architecture

At Tunnell & Tunnell, we transform properties through thoughtful design that honors architectural context and personal vision. From historic estate gardens to modern residential courtyards, our designs create meaningful connections between people and place.

Our Design Philosophy

Every landscape tells a story. We begin each project by understanding yours—your goals, your lifestyle, and your property’s unique character. This foundation allows us to create outdoor spaces that feel both timeless and deeply personal.

Residential Landscapes

Our residential portfolio spans Atlanta’s diverse neighborhoods—from historic estates in Druid Hills to modern homes in Buckhead and family-focused suburban properties.

Garden Rooms – Intimate spaces that create sequence and discovery
Outdoor Living – Thoughtfully designed terraces, pools, and entertaining areas
Integration – Seamless connections between home and landscape
