ARK Design + Build is a landscape design-build firm in Madison, Mississippi, founded by Matt Gates in 2007. For 18+ years, we have designed and built outdoor living spaces for homeowners across the greater Jackson metro area, including Ridgeland, Brandon, Flowood, and Clinton.

Matt Gates holds a credential combination no other firm in the Jackson metro can match: ICPI Certification from the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute for hardscape standards. A Licensed Horticulturalist credential from the Mississippi Department of Agriculture for formal plant science. And Techo-Pro Certification from Techo-Bloc for premium paving materials with manufacturer warranty support.

Our services include pool and spa design, outdoor kitchens, paver patios, retaining walls, landscape lighting, water features, drainage solutions, and planting design using Mississippi-native species. Every project follows The ARK Way, our 5-phase process — Discovery, Design, Planning, Build, and Care — that locks scope, keeps communication clear, and delivers lasting craftsmanship.

Every property is a canvas. Our work transforms that canvas into functional outdoor art.
