Profile
The Fockele Garden Company designs, installs and manages residential gardens and commercial landscapes throughout the southeast.
We believe in the restorative impact on people when they are brought together with gardens. We have developed a specialty for facilitating this therapeutic connection through our projects at nursing homes, retirement communities, hospitals, churches and public spaces. Memorial gardens, meditation gardens, healing gardens, physical rehabilitation gardens, and walking gardens are all included in our repertoire. Because we design, build and manage each garden, we are free to incorporate the creativity and attention to detail that creates a space where a visitor can have a personal and intimate experience.
Additionally, we look for opportunities to incorporate appropriate sustainable landscaping practices into our gardens. We design and install rainwater harvest and smart irrigation systems; we employ on-site stormwater management components such as permeable surfaces and bioswales. Finally, we incorporate plantings that will optimize the functionality of these site improvements. These techniques are endorsed by the Low Impact Development Program (LID), LEED, and the Sustainable Sites Initiative (SSI.)
In 2010 we celebrated our 20th year in business. Our cumulative knowledge and experience allows us to design, and deliver in-house, a wide range of products and services. Our installations include imaginative and creative garden structures such as ponds, streams, custom stone fountains, gazebos and fences, walls, terraces, and steps. Our plantings are unusual, exciting and beautiful, and at the same time, manageable and practical. They include woodland gardens, perennial and native plant gardens, water gardens, rock gardens, and drought tolerant gardens. The wide variety demonstrates our extensive plant knowledge. And once a garden installation has been completed, our ongoing landscape management program preserves the original design intent.
