Hunter Kipps
Owner & Lead Craftsman
Hunter Kipps has spent 15+ years building and repairing mountain and lakefront landscapes across Northeast Georgia — boulder retaining walls, shoreline riprap, red-clay drainage, and estate stonework. He personally runs the heavy equipment and walks every site before quoting it.
Hunter founded Kipps Kustom Landscapes (Miller Landscaping Group LLC) and works every project himself, from reading a saturated slope after a storm to hand-fitting the final stone. He writes these guides to help Habersham County and North Georgia homeowners make informed decisions about their mountain and lakefront property.
