SS&A has ranked in the Top 25 Landscape Contractors in Atlanta by the Atlanta Business Chronicle since 2014. SS&A was voted Perimeter North Lifestyle magazine's Best Landscaper of 2017. When requested by our clients, SS&A recommends utilizing A&C Development, Inc. (a separate company, but owned by SS&A management) to provide competitive installation and construction proposals for our designs. This separation allows for clearer contractual and professional responsibilities, while still providing many of the numerous benefits of a “design/build” delivery methodology. A & C Development, Inc. is a general Landscape contractor which also provides proposals on select projects that are designed by others. Visit www.acdevelopmentinc.com for more information. Environments experience: Residential homes; Commercial sites including Academic, Hospitality, Multifamily, Corporate Office, Institutional, Transportation, Parks and Recreation, Streetscapes and Public Spaces; and HOA and Residential Development entrances and amenities.
