Serving Auburn Since 2013
Auburn started as a railroad town. It was platted in 1891 by the Seaboard railroad and incorporated the next year, and it still has tracks running right through the middle, parallel to US-29 and Highway 8. The historic downtown sits along that highway, with R.H. Burel Park on 4th Avenue and a small grid of older streets near the rail line. Auburn straddles the Barrow and Gwinnett county line, though the large majority of the city is on the Barrow side, and that border location is exactly why it has grown so fast.
People who want more land and more house than Gwinnett prices allow keep moving east into Auburn, and it has gone from a rural railroad village to a community of more than 7,000. That growth means new subdivisions, and new subdivisions here mean the same thing they always do: builder-disturbed soil, compacted clay under a thin layer of builder-grade sod, and drainage that fails the first hard rain. We handle that work regularly: soil assessment, drainage correction, proper ground prep, and sod that is done right from the start so the homeowner is not redoing the lawn in two years.
Auburn still has plenty of larger semi-rural lots too, out toward Carl and along Auburn Road and Highway 324, and those have different needs: land clearing, grading on sloped terrain, drainage on acreage, and lawn care on properties with several acres of grass. We handle both the new-construction suburban work and the bigger rural jobs. From Covington, Auburn is about 28 miles north. Call (470) 226-7215 to set up a free estimate.
