About Us

For five years, I have specialized with Right Plants for the Right Places so you will begin to LOVE plants and your Nashville, Franklin, or Murfreesboro outdoor space! I design, troubleshoot, plan, and execute all things plant related. If you don't know what to do, then let's get started. I provide a FREE site audit so you receive VALUE first. I know you want to take control of your outdoor space and enjoy the fruits of your labor! It’s HARD to grow plants (or design your space) successfully the first time. I couldn’t do it and I had the patience and formal education that should have helped me. But it didn’t… (It’s not your fault that school doesn’t teach you how to nurture living things…) Worse yet, most magazines and TV focus on the high-end of landscape design; expensive, expansive projects. It’s unrealistic for most homeowners. Especially just starting out with Home Improvement Project #1… Instead of digging through textbooks, online blogs, magazines, and reality TV shows, work with My Landscape Guide for tips that take the guesswork out of landscaping. Why waste time and money when I’ll show you the way the pros do it?! I provide plant replacement warrranties on all the trees and shrubs that I sell, because I want you to have peace of mind and grow with success! Most landscapers don't show you how to take care of your plants. It's easy and I'll show you how to grow your green thumb fast. I grew up on a wholesale nursery in McMinnville, TN and have a bachelor's degree in Horticulture from UT-Knoxville. I have experience with all types of landscaping. I have designed and grown plants on two personal homes and dozens of client landscapes. I strive to maintain long term relationships. I'm easy to get in touch with, either phone, email, or text and I respond within 24 hours. Why Right Plant in the Right Place? It solves all the problems inherent to gardening and landscaping. When you start with the right location and the correct plant your problems dwindle. I analyze your site for sun exposure, soil type, and proper plant sizing. That way you start with great plants that perform well for your unique space!

Typical Job Cost

I cater to new home constructions, high end clients, and active DIY homeowners. No budget is too low! Landscape designs for new homes start at 500. I SAVE you a lot of money by purchasing wholesale plant material from McMinnville, TN. If you do the job right the first time, you'll save hundreds not replacing plants that die! You'll also save years of frustration trying to grow the wrong plants!

Elliott did an amazing job designing the front landscape to my home. We started off with minimal plants and scrubs that did not look well but wanted to try and relocate, and Elliott did an excellent job in relocating old scrubs and building a stunning landscape (including a natural fence which I wanted) along with a landscape full of color and variety. Now I'm ready for him to tackle the back yard! I will definitely be using him and his services again.

Came up with a beautiful design with options for our price point. Allowed us to add later or install in multiple stages.

Thank you for the kind words Rachel. You and Billy are going to have the best landscape in the neighborhood!

Elliott was able to respond to my inquiry, come out to view my existing landscape with the installer, design the new landscape plan and oversee the install within a two week window. The service was quick, the advice and design was very professional, the install was timely, and Elliott's follow through on every step was appreciated. I would definitely recommend My Landscape Guide to address any of your landscaping needs.

Thank you webuser, it was a pleasure to see this landscape "grow and bloom!"

Alex Craw

Elliott with My Landscape Guide provided me with superior service, excellent knowledge and timely delivery of a landscape design (including plant selection and placement) for two new construction townhomes in North Nashville. This was our first project involving a rain garden and Elliott's plant expertise really shined through. We've already received several compliments from perspective buyers. I've used My Landscape Guide twice before and will be using them again in the future!

Thank you for the five star review Alex! I look forward to your next project.

Mark Gilliam

My wife and I purchased a 1940's bungalow home that's yard needed some serious updates. Elliot removed overgrown shrubs, weeds, etc. & added boxwoods, hydrangeas and many other plants. We needed something with low maintenance and he listened to our needs and expertly created a design that suited our family. He was prompt, pleasant to work with & continues to help us as we have questions. I would highly recommend Elliot if you are looking to re-landscape your yard or just refresh existing greenery.

Hi Mark, I look forward to seeing your front yard bloom throughout the summer. Thank you for the kind words.

My Landscape Guide made my landscaping project amazingly simple and efficient. After a preliminary phone conversation with Elliott, I sent him a photo of my front planter "situation" and my list of desired garden attributes and budget. He quickly responded with an estimate and a beautiful rendering which overlayed his recommended design and plant selection on that same photo I had just sent. This was extremely helpful for me to visualize the project and pull the trigger right away. Elliott is very knowledgeable and helpful, but most importantly, he does business with integrity. He made several suggestions that would save me money even though it ultimately lowered his profits. To top it all off, they completed my project ahead of schedule and it looks fantastic. The superb quality of service and craft provided by My Landscape Guide has definitely earned them my business on all my future landscaping projects. I would confidently recommend them to anyone.

First of all, response time to inquiries was very expeditious. I think probably my primary take away, aside from knowledge and expertise, is Elliot's enthusiasm for and obvious committment to his work

Comment from My Landscape Guide:

Thank you for your business! Your patio is so cool. It's going to be awesome watching it throughout the summer.

Jeff Ley

Elliott did an amazing job with our homes landscaping! From initial design through completion, he provided a quality job and completed our project when he said he would. We are thoroughly impressed with his professionalism, and would gladly recommend him to all of our friends and family!

Thank you for trusting me Jeff. I look forward to helping you in the future.

Elliot is absolutely TERRIFIC. He is the consummate professional with a lifetime spent in Horticulture and Landscape Architecture. From childhood, he worked his family Nursery and developed a PASSION for Plants that shows through in his work. You will benefit greatly from his life experience and the passion and desire that resulted. Probably the best thing I can say about Elliot in conclusion is that he truly has the 'heart of a teacher', as Dave Ramsey says. I think this quality is rare and quite valuable in Landscape Architecture and Real Estate. He helps you understand all your options with a constant mind towards your budget and how many decisions you want to make versus giving him carte blanche and saving you the stress. There is no better consultant for your next project than Elliot Hallum, and he is an even better person. My Best, Brooks

Thank you for the kind words Brooks. You are a quick learner and I will enjoy watching your landscape appreciate!

They did an excellent job, everythign looks great and the plant quaility was superb. Installation was on time and spottles. Elliot and his team created a design that worked best with my yard, taking into account for the shady and sunny areas. I would highly recommend anyone interested in doing future landscaping to contact Elliot.

Thank you for your business aprovost83! I love shady landscapes; there are so many cool shade loving plants!

My husband and I recently built a new home and didn't know how to go about the landscaping. I found Elliot on the Houzz website and gave him a call, when I spoke with him he was very professional and you could tell he enjoys his job. We met with him on location and received design plans and a quote in a timely manor. When delivering the plants he insisted on placing them where they go instead of just setting them in the driveway like we had expected. We were very impressed and delighted by that. We look forward to working with Elliot more in the future and we definitely would recommend him to someone who needs help with their landscaping!!!!
