Shaping Nature’s Vision: Visionscapes Makes Major Progress at Creekside Park

At Visionscapes, our passion for landscapes goes beyond design — it’s about crafting places where nature and community thrive together. That vision is coming to life in a big way at Creekside Park, one of the most ambitious and environmentally rich projects we've had the honor to work on.

Located right in the heart of the Johns Creek community, Creekside Park is set to become a shining example of sustainable landscaping and thoughtful ecological design. Over the past few months, our team has made tremendous progress transforming this site into a dynamic natural space that blends beauty, function, and environmental responsibility.

Natural Rock Veers: Honoring the Landscape’s Heritage

One of the standout features of Creekside Park is the installation of natural rock veers. These strategically placed rock structures guide water flow and reduce erosion, all while mimicking the natural forms of the surrounding environment. Built with native stone and placed with precision, these veers not only protect the land but add a stunning visual element to the park’s natural watercourses.

Wetland Plugs: Breathing Life into the Ecosystem

Restoring and enhancing wetland areas has been a core focus of this project. We've successfully installed thousands of wetland plugs to help establish a healthy, functioning wetland ecosystem. These native plantings are already taking root and attracting local wildlife, supporting biodiversity, and improving water quality. It's a major step in re-establishing natural balance to this landscape.

Tree Planting: Building the Forest for Tomorrow

Creekside Park’s transformation wouldn't be complete without its hundreds of newly planted trees. From shade-providing canopies to future habitat corridors, each tree has been carefully selected and placed to thrive in its environment. Our tree planting efforts are not just about greenery today — they're an investment in a healthier, more resilient park for generations to come.

Groundcover and Bushes: Thousands of Layers of Life

Creating a landscape that feels full and vibrant takes depth, texture, and diversity. That’s why we've installed thousands of groundcover plants and bushes throughout the park. These low-lying plantings help stabilize soil, suppress invasive species, and add year-round interest. Whether it’s vibrant blooms in spring or rich foliage in fall, this living layer will offer color and character in every season.

Grading: Laying the Foundation Right

Before anything else could begin, our expert team completed meticulous grading work across the site. With careful planning and precise execution, we shaped the land to support proper drainage, enhance usability, and set the stage for all future plantings and hardscaping. It’s the unseen foundation that makes all the visible progress possible.

Looking Ahead

The work at Creekside Park is far from over, but the progress we've made is already something to be proud of. As the landscape continues to take shape, we’re excited to see it become a thriving community destination — a place where people connect with nature, and where nature is given the space to flourish.

At Visionscapes, we don’t just build landscapes. We bring visions to life.
