Ridgeland sits right between Madison and Jackson, with the Ross Barnett Reservoir along its eastern edge and some of the metro’s busiest commercial corridors running through it. Madison Planting & Design Group provides landscaping in Ridgeland, MS for homeowners and businesses: thoughtful design, quality installation and reliable maintenance, all from one team based about 20 minutes away in Canton.

Residential landscaping in Ridgeland
Ridgeland neighborhoods range from established streets with mature trees to newer homes near the Reservoir. Whatever your lot looks like, we can help you get more out of it:
- Outdoor living: natural stone patios and walkways, outdoor fireplaces, pergolas and fountains, outdoor kitchens and fire pits, and landscape lighting
- Pools: pool landscaping and stone pool decks
- Planting: new beds, trees and shrubs, seasonal color and pine straw
- Irrigation and drainage: new systems and repairs, plus drainage solutions
- Ongoing care: landscape maintenance and lawn care
Homes with a view toward the water call for a different kind of design, one that frames the view rather than blocking it and uses plants that can handle open sun and wind. We’ll walk the property with you and design around what makes it special.

Commercial landscaping along Ridgeland’s corridors
Ridgeland is home to Northpark Mall on County Line Road, which opened in 1984. It also has Renaissance at Colony Park, and Highland Colony Parkway, built in the 1990s and now lined with offices and shops. In a business setting like that, curb appeal isn’t optional.
Our commercial landscaping team provides:
- Weekly mowing, edging, trimming and blowing
- Fertilization, weed control, and insect and disease control
- Pruning and seasonal color at entrances and sign beds
- Monthly irrigation and landscape lighting checks
- Monthly inspections and written reports for property managers
Planning for Ridgeland’s review process
The City of Ridgeland is known for careful attention to how development looks. Projects go through the city’s Architectural Review Board, and the city maintains a landscape ordinance and a tree ordinance with tree-mitigation requirements. For new commercial projects and major site work, that means you’ll want a clear, professional landscape plan.
MPDG’s design work is led by Kirk Cameron, ASLA, a licensed landscape architect (Mississippi License #433). Our landscape architecture services cover site and planting plans, and our crews can install and maintain the approved design. Always confirm current requirements with the City of Ridgeland.

Ridgeland’s roots and today’s gardens
Ridgeland traces its name to the Highland Colony Company, founded in 1896 by developers who promoted the area to northern families. The land around it was farmed for crops like pears and strawberries. Today’s gardens face the same central Mississippi conditions those early growers knew: long, humid summers, USDA zone 8b winters, heavy rainfall and dense clay soils. Much of the city drains toward the Pearl River and the Reservoir.
We design with that in mind:
- Grading and bed layout that move stormwater away from homes and patios
- Plants proven in our heat and humidity
- Irrigation zoned for real sun and shade conditions
- Fall planting when possible, so trees and shrubs establish before summer
