The man behind the perfectly placed palms and flawless irrigation system is Guy Artigues. As owner of Pleasant Places, he has had the opportunity to add a bit of lushness to some pretty memorable landmarks. From Dunes West Golf & River Club to the residential community of Oyster Point, this family-owned and operated business continues to deliver plenty of curb appeal. “I have always enjoyed how a particular landscape can alter your mood, thoughts and attitude,” said Artigues. “I have always, and still do, enjoy physical work. Landscaping has allowed me to play and work at the same time.” Installing designs that are both aesthetically beautiful and functional, Pleasant Places has built a career that spans over three decades, and, given its track record, will continue to bloom. Licensed, insured and dependable, Pleasant Places has earned a reputation of being one of the leading commercial landscaping companies in the Lowcountry. Putting customers first, Pleasant Places even offers free initial consultations to better understand clients’ needs and get an adequate feel for the scope of the design they envision. “Working on Town Hall, with the visibility and exposure it has, the team assembled, the expectations of all involved, has without question raised the bar,” said Artigues. “Seeing the project transform from paper to installation has been very rewarding. I was amazed on a daily basis as to how nicely everything became reality.” Well versed in what specific plants will thrive in certain environments, the team at Pleasant Places puts careful thought into installing a design that will look good throughout all seasons – evolving and unfolding in the most ideal way. “Our clients entrust us to transform the design into reality,” said Artigues. “This transformation is made easier than most because of the true talent and commitment of the men and women who work at Pleasant Places. The pride they each take in their respective craft is palatable. I could not be more proud of them.” From the Daniel Island Club to Charleston International Airport, the portfolio of Pleasant Places continues to grow. Mount Pleasant’s Town Hall is yet another example of its expertise and top-notch skill set. From soothing lagoons with fountain features to rows of sprawling oaks that exude the old South, the thoughtful touches the company brings to each project continues to delight residents. Crafting a mood with soil, seed and stone, these professionals remain committed to offering up their very best, no matter the size of a project. Rooted in integrity and perfection, Artigues and his team felt a great responsibility in playing such an integral part in helping to shape the new Town Hall. “No one wanted to be the weak link in the chain,” said Artigues. “Fortunately, there were no breaks, the chain remains intact and the town of Mount Pleasant has something they can be very proud of, and we will all be able to tell our children and grandchildren that we had a hand in building something very special.” TH To learn more, visit www.pleasantplaces.com or call 843-881-3430.
