About

I have been fortunate to spend my career doing what I love: working with people, plants and outdoor elements to create beautiful and useful spaces. Some are relaxing spaces, others are working environments, while still other projects include some combination of work, play and/or function. I never know what my next project might include.

My hometown is Perry, Georgia. I graduated from Perry High School and later the University of Georgia. From there I moved to the Atlanta area and had the privilege of learning from some of the area’s top landscape professionals.

My wife, LeAnne, and I eventually moved back to middle Georgia and are blessed to be near our children, grandchildren and extended family.

These days I very much enjoy helping younger ‘green industry’ professionals while still maintaining a robust design schedule. Landscape design is a fascinating and rewarding career and one to which I hope to contribute for more years to come.

We just completed our 3D outdoor pavillion design with Michael Turner and the experience was exceptional. Michael's patience, experience, and customer-focused approach in his architectural design greatly impacted our decision making to choose his work.  My wife and I found ourselves gravitating and pursuing Michael for insight and further advice after the initial meetings. Michael's knowledge, expertise in both landscape and structural design has been a tremendous asset. Michael was willing to listen and make multiple design drawing adjustments during the process as we were working with our construction lead plus work with me via Zoom for convenience.

Mr. Turner was highly recommended to us and we also highly recommend him to anyone for their landscape design!  If you want someone who is professional, a good listener, fast responding, knowledgeable, patient, on time, and easy to work with, Mr. Turner is the person for you!  After working with him, we received a personalized landscape design that reflects our culture, vision, and lifestyle.  We can't wait to bring the 3D design to life and enjoy it!  Thank you, Mr. Turner!

Michael was extremely knowledgeable and professional. He was patient as we worked through different options and ideas. His passion for this work is obvious. We worked together to get ideas, not only on paper, but brought to life in the 3D presentation. I would highly recommend using Southern Accents as a resource.

We used Michael to redesign our 25 year old front yard. He was very easy to work with and very professional. He adapted quickly changes we wanted made, and offered alternate plant selection.

We had a great experience with Mr. Turner.  Our plans were very professionally done and he was very responsive to our suggestions and revisions.  Being a local landscaper was also a huge asset as he knew what plants would be best for our area.

Our front walkway needed a special design due to the brutal FL afternoon sun.  We had to communicate electronically our desires/needs which were responded to professionally & promptly.  It looks so clean now!

Michael arrived when he said he would, left us a great design, and even returned to advise on another project. Easy to work with, reliable and dependable. And the design was appealing.

We had Michael come out and look over what we were wanting to do. It was nice to have someone that listened to us and give us great advice. Michael gave us a great design for our beds and even took time to come back out to look at another patio project. Great to work with, easy and enjoyable! Professional designs!
