Stephen Hackney has launched SWH Landscape Architecture, LLC. Providing residential landscape architectural services for discriminating home owners in Knoxville and the surrounding region, Hackney specializes in creating classic and traditional residential environments that are beautiful, timeless and site appropriate.

"The firm's passion is working with clients to realize the full potential of their properties and create a true sense of place," said Hackney. "We strive for creative excellence in every project we undertake."

Hackney's focus is producing exceptional landscape architecture blending traditional design with modern sensibilities. He is from the region and is a graduate from the school of landscape architecture at the University of Kentucky. He has spent 12 years specializing in residential landscape architecture. Hackney has also worked for several firms, including Ross Fowler of Knoxville and Land Plus of Atlanta.

Landscape Architecture is the science and the art of creating organized solutions for built environments in our outdoor world. It encompasses the analysis, planning, design, management, and stewardship of natural and built environments. "The work of a professional landscape architect is to create and design spaces that stir the emotions of their clients by unlocking the 'soul' that is uniquely inherent to their home," Hackney pointed out. "Few are capable of producing the level of sophistication and artistry that resonates in a space designed by SWH Landscape Architecture."
