Meet Phillip Byard
Founder & President
Embark on the journey of Phillip Byard, a man whose life story is deeply connected to the landscapes he shapes. Phillip was born and raised in the peaceful town of Eden, North Carolina, where his early connection with nature laid the foundation for his lifelong passion. After enlisting in the Army, he served as an artilleryman and developed discipline, commitment, and teamwork values that would later become the cornerstones of his business ethos.
With a curious mind after his military service, he sought education. Though his academic path at Auburn University was left incomplete, the lessons learned both in military service and in classrooms laid a foundation strong enough to support the growth of a thriving business. He spent over fourteen transformative years in Atlanta, GA, where his career in the Green Industry blossomed. After his three-year apprenticeship under Brendan Butler of Tokikata Modern Gardens, he mastered the art of Neo-Japanese Gardens, which would leave a lasting impression on his design philosophy.
Phillip's entrepreneurial spirit led him to establish Hardscapes by the Yard - Atlanta, where his reputation for quality and innovation quickly grew. Life had other plans for him when he met his fiancée and moved to Nashville, TN, to support her career advancement. He eventually became the seasonal color manager at Russell Landscape, but his desire to forge his path led him to establish Music City Hardscapes.
Today, Phillip is the leader of Music City Hardscapes, known for creating functional and aesthetic outdoor spaces in Nashville's hardscape industry. He embodies the values of integrity, excellence, and commitment to creating spaces where life's best moments are enjoyed. Beyond his business, Phillip volunteers with The Mission Continues and the Boy Scouts, and he loves spending time in the great outdoors with his family.
Phillip's journey, from the fields of North Carolina to the vibrant community of Nashville, is a personal growth narrative and a blueprint for the values that Music City Hardscapes embodies.
