Custom outdoor spaces designed and built around the way you live.
Creative Earth is a designer-led landscape studio serving Greenville, Mauldin, Simpsonville, Greer, and the surrounding Upstate South Carolina communities. For more than 25 years, Sam Carter has been creating custom landscapes that turn ordinary yards into refined, tranquil outdoor environments — the kind of spaces you actually want to spend time in.
If you’ve been staring at a yard that feels unfinished, disconnected from your home, or just almost right but never quite there, you’re in the right place.
Most landscape companies in Greenville install. We design. A good installer can put plants in the ground and build a patio. A designer shapes the whole experience — how your yard feels when you walk through it, how the light moves across the stone in the afternoon.
Every project is custom, but most of our work falls into one of these areas
Most of our designer-led residential projects start in the mid-five-figure range and scale up depending on hardscape, water features, and specimen plants. The best way to get an accurate number is to book an on-site consultation.

Yes. Sam designs every project and our team handles the installation so the vision stays intact from paper to planting.
