The small size of Greene Square reflects the constricted space afforded by the East Common for expansion of the town. Small flower gardens, including raised brick planting beds, anchor the corners of the modestly landscaped square. The sidewalks employ concrete with oyster shell aggregate, evoking the tabby commonly used in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries in Savannah.
