We would like to remodeI the propety we just purchased in Grant Park using eco-friendly concepts

We are using this property for student housing ,so we cannot afford to increase the costs. We need floor covering,countertops, paint on doors. We have some land so we were thinking of a garden the students could maintain. Can you recommend any inexpensive people to do the "heavy lifting" ? I can be reached at Karenthecoach@bellsouth.com. We usually buy homes for Lease/Purchase to our tenants and may do a "Kiddie Condo"
I am a mortgage coach.

If you want to put in a garden to be maintained, how about installing a grey water system that naturally filters through a pond system that would then "spring feed" the garden. If the person Lee referred you to doesn't have the know how, I have someone's info to give.

FIRST ANSWER
Karen, what's a "Kiddie Condo" ? you questions are not very clear. Is the house a multi-family? duplex?
You realize that Grant Park is zoned Historic. So, work done to the property needs to be permitted and approved by the Urban Design Commission (UDC) of Atlanta. Most contractors know this and have additional 'work' involved with this..... so it might not be 'cheap. hope this helps.
