A note on installation
Southern Clay is a design studio. We produce the plan, specify and source the plant material, and coordinate the install — with our vetted crew or a contractor you already trust. That keeps the design honest and the pricing transparent, because we are never marking up labour to make a plan look cheaper than it is.
