Turn Your Yard Plan Into Reality
Complete landscape installation services in Knoxville, from grading and planting to hardscape construction and finishing touches.
Once you have a design in hand, landscape installation is the work that brings it to life across your Knoxville property. This means clearing and grading the site, amending soil where needed, installing hardscape features like patios or walkways, planting trees and shrubs in the right locations, and adding mulch or ground cover to finish the beds. The installation follows the plan exactly, so what you approved on paper is what gets built in your yard.
Clear Creek Landscaping Tn. handles every step of the installation process, from excavation and drainage work to final planting and cleanup. The crew works in Knoxville and surrounding areas, managing projects that range from small front yard refreshes to full-property overhauls with retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, and custom plantings. You get a finished landscape that is ready to grow and age in without needing immediate corrections.

What Happens During a Full Installation
Installation in Knoxville starts with site prep, which includes clearing unwanted vegetation, rough grading to manage water flow, and marking out bed lines and hardscape footprints. If your property has drainage issues or uneven slopes, grading work happens first to set the foundation for everything else. Equipment like skid steers and excavators may be used depending on the scope of the project.
After grading, hardscape elements such as retaining walls, patios, or walkways are installed using stone, pavers, or concrete. Planting beds are then built with amended soil, and trees, shrubs, and perennials are placed according to the design. You will notice clean bed edges, level pathways, proper mulch depth, and plants positioned for long-term health and spacing.
Irrigation lines, landscape lighting, and edging are added as needed. The crew hauls away debris, rakes out rough spots, and seeds or sods any bare areas. The work does not include ongoing maintenance or seasonal replanting, but it leaves your yard fully established and ready to settle in.
What Homeowners Want to Know Before Installation
Before installation begins, homeowners typically ask about timing, site access, material choices, and what they need to do to prepare. These questions help set clear expectations and avoid surprises once work is underway.
How long does a typical landscape installation take?
Small projects like front yard plantings may take two to three days, while larger installations with grading, hardscape, and full plantings can take one to two weeks. Weather and material availability affect the timeline.
What do I need to do before the crew arrives?
You should mark any underground utilities, move vehicles out of the work area, and clear access to gates or pathways. If you have pets, plan to keep them inside or away from the site during active work days.
Can I change the design once installation starts?
Minor adjustments can be made on site, but major changes to layout, materials, or plant selections may delay the project and increase costs. It is best to finalize the design before installation begins.
What materials do you use for plantings and hardscape?
Plants are sourced from local nurseries and selected for hardiness in Knoxville. Hardscape materials include natural stone, pavers, and treated timber, with choices based on your design preferences and budget.
Will my new plants need special care after installation?
Yes, newly installed plants need regular watering for the first few weeks to establish roots. You will receive a care guide that covers watering schedules, mulch maintenance, and when to start fertilizing.
