Landscape Architecture & Tree Preservation
Desiging Landscapes. Preserving What Matters.
“The landscapes I value most are shaped by a deep respect for trees, ecology, architecture, and the cultural history of the land. Through thoughtful design and careful stewardship, we create landscapes that grow richer with time and remain deeply connected to their place.”
— Daniel Eginton, PLA, ISA Certified Arborist
Daniel Eginton Landscape Architecture (DELA) is a landscape architecture and tree preservation studio serving Atlanta, North Georgia, communities throughout Georgia, and select Southeastern markets.
Our work is rooted in a planting-driven approach to landscape design—one that considers architecture, existing trees, soils, ecology, seasonal change, and the character of the land as parts of a larger composition.
Rather than treating plants as decoration, DELA creates layered landscapes using trees, shrubs, grasses, perennials, groundcovers, and native and adapted plant communities to establish structure, movement, habitat, and seasonal character.
Led by Daniel Eginton, PLA, ISA Certified Arborist, the studio brings landscape architecture and professional arboriculture together within a single practice—combining creative design with a technical understanding of trees, soils, root systems, and long-term landscape stewardship.
DELA collaborates with homeowners, architects, surveyors, builders, developers, landscape contractors, and other design professionals on residential, commercial, institutional, and public landscapes throughout Georgia and the Southeast.
Areas of Practice
Landscape Architecture
Residential + Estates
Landscape master planning, planting design, gardens, outdoor living environments, and construction plans designed with ecological richness and architectural clarity.
Commercial + Public Landscapes
Commercial properties, campuses, healthcare and healing environments, parks, plazas, civic spaces, and other public landscapes designed around people, planting, and place.
Ecological + Specialty Planting
Native and adapted plant communities, pollinator and habitat gardens, naturalistic planting, and layered landscapes designed to evolve and mature over time.
Tree Preservation
Professional arboricultural services focused on the preservation, protection, assessment, and long-term health of existing trees.
Services include tree tagging + inventories, tree care prescriptions, tree risk assessments, tree replacement plans, tree protection, Air-Spade root excavation, root care, and construction-related tree preservation.
Design + Stewardship
Whether creating a new landscape or protecting the trees that already define one, DELA approaches each project with the same objective:
Create landscapes that belong to their place—and become better with time.

Meet Our Principal
Daniel Eginton, PLA, ISA Certified Arborist
Daniel Eginton is the founder and principal of Daniel Eginton Landscape Architecture, bringing more than 35 years of experience in landscape design, horticulture, and tree preservation to his work.
His career began with an early foundation in horticulture and includes experience at Walt Disney World’s EPCOT, where he worked with internationally recognized gardens and landscapes. Daniel continued his education at the State University of New York and later earned his Bachelor of Landscape Architecture from the University of Georgia’s School of Environmental Design.
Since establishing his practice in 1996, Daniel has focused on creating thoughtful, enduring landscapes shaped by plants, trees, architecture, ecology, and the character of the land.
As both a Landscape Architect and ISA Certified Arborist, his work bridges landscape design and professional tree preservation—allowing existing trees, soils, planting, and natural systems to become integral parts of the design process.
Daniel’s approach favors landscapes that feel layered, natural, and established—combining trees, lush planting, natural stone, water, art, seasonal color, and pollinator-supporting plant communities to create gardens that grow richer with time.
