Plant-Forward. Ecologically Grounded. Architecturally Disciplined.
Daniel Eginton Landscape Architecture is a design studio focused on planting-driven landscapes shaped by ecology, architecture, and long-term stewardship. Each project begins with a close study of the land—its soils, trees, light, and patterns of use. From this understanding, we craft landscapes that balance horticultural richness with architectural clarity.
Gardens, terraces, paths, and plant communities are composed to create outdoor spaces that feel timeless, resilient, and deeply connected to their setting.
Led by Daniel Eginton, PLA, ASLA, ISA Certified Arborist, the studio integrates landscape architecture and professional arboriculture—bringing both design vision and technical expertise to every project. DELA collaborates with homeowners, architects, builders, and landscape contractors to guide landscapes from early concept through thoughtful implementation across Georgia and the Southeast.
AREAS OF PRACTICE:
Residential & Estates
Gardens, estates, and outdoor living environments designed with rich planting and architectural clarity.
Public Spaces
Campuses, healthcare environments, civic spaces, and development landscapes across the Southeast.
Design Partnerships
Collaborating with architects, builders, tree professionals, and landscape contractors to bring thoughtful design to construction projects.
“At DELA, landscapes are shaped by a deep respect for trees, ecology, and the cultural history of the land. Through thoughtful design and careful stewardship, we create landscapes that mature gracefully over time and enrich the places they inhabit.”
— Daniel Eginton, PLA, ASLA, ISA Certified Arborist
Daniel Eginton Landscape Architecture is led by founder, Landscape Architect and Certified Arborist, Daniel Eginton who has established a reputation for conceiving and planning thoughtful, timeless landscapes since 1996. His years of field experience has spanned 35 years, including Walt Disney's Epcot Center where Daniel designed and maintained some world-renowned gardens. Daniel's education spans from the State University of New York to the University of Georgia's Environmental Design School where he earned his BLA.
While creating timeless gardens, Daniel and his team incorporate elements of natural stone, garden features, water and art with lush greenery, color and pollinators into each design. In most instances, Daniel believes plants can also be used to solve erosion and drainage problems as well to create barriers between harmful chemicals and pollutants adjacent to waterways.

We provide comprehensive landscape architectural services for residential, institutional, and civic environments. Our work includes master planning, site layout, circulation systems, grading and drainage strategies, and the integration of built and planted elements.
Design solutions balance spatial clarity with horticultural richness, organizing landscapes into coherent sequences of arrival, movement, gathering, and retreat.
Planting is central to our practice. We design layered, ecologically informed plant communities that evolve gracefully over time and support regional biodiversity.
Our planting work emphasizes:
We produce clear, detailed construction documents that translate design intent into buildable systems. Our drawings and specifications support efficient permitting, accurate pricing, and high-quality installation.
Deliverables may include:
We remain actively involved throughout construction to ensure design integrity and technical performance.
Services may include:
Our studio works across a range of scales and contexts, including:
We believe great landscapes are not simply installed—they are cultivated over time. Our work is guided by long-term thinking, environmental responsibility, and respect for living systems.
Through careful design, technical expertise, and ongoing collaboration, we create landscapes that mature with grace and meaning.
Thoughtful design allows landscapes to perform responsibly and endure over time.
Trees are not treated as objects, but as living infrastructure…
