In 1991 Gary and Teresa Waters founded Outdoor Environments, Inc., a landscape and garden center located in the rapidly growing community of Grayson, Georgia.  In 1999, they expanded and opened a second location north of Grayson in Braselton, Georgia.  With Austin as manager, Outdoor Environments, truly became a “family business”.  But we would not be here today if it were not for the loyal employees who have worked with us through the years and have become our extended family.   We are so grateful to Brad, Brady, Cade, Carly, Carol, Garrison, Greg, Jessica, Nestor, Sharon, Kylie, and Crystal.

The success of Outdoor Environments, allowed Gary to begin supplying others with "Quality Grown Trees" that are grown at our tree farm, Hartland Farms, in Hartwell, GA.
