Local Knowledge

Serving Buford Since 2013

Buford has two distinct landscaping markets. The first is the lakefront and near-lake communities around Lake Lanier, the 38,000-acre reservoir on the city's northern edge. Properties that sit on or near the water face erosion challenges that most residential landscaping does not deal with: shoreline erosion from wave action and boat wake, slopes that lose soil during heavy rain, and the need for retaining solutions that look good and hold up in a wet environment. Rip-rap installation, native plantings on slopes, and erosion-control grading are standard requests on Lanier-area properties. We have worked on similar sloped lots on Lake Oconee and bring that experience to Buford.

The second market is the residential and commercial growth on the Gwinnett County side of town, in the 30519 corridor surrounding the Mall of Georgia, the largest mall in the state. Buford straddles the Gwinnett and Hall county line, with a historic Main Street and the Tannery Row artist colony recalling its days as the Leather City, and newer subdivisions and the Hamilton Mill area filling in around it. Sod on aging lawns, lawn care maintenance contracts, drainage corrections on new construction, and outdoor living projects are the consistent requests here, the same needs you find throughout north Gwinnett County.

Gwinnett clay runs throughout the Buford area just as it does further south in the county. Every sod job and every landscape install starts with a soil assessment. What we find determines the prep work that needs to happen before plants or sod go in. Getting that step right is what separates work that lasts from work that has to be redone.

Buford is about 45 miles up I-85 from our Covington base, on the far edge of the area we serve, and we make the trip for the right projects. To set up a free estimate, call (470) 226-7215.

Questions

Buford Landscaping FAQ

Do you work on lakefront properties near Lake Lanier?

Yes. Lakefront properties near Lake Lanier have specific needs: shoreline stabilization, erosion control on slopes leading to the water, and retaining solutions that hold up in a high-moisture environment. We have experience on waterfront properties and can assess your shoreline situation, recommend rip-rap or native plantings for slope stabilization, and handle the landscaping on the upland portion of the property as well. Call us to discuss your specific property and location.

What landscaping is best for properties near the water?

Slopes leading to the water need erosion control: either rip-rap (stone placed along the shoreline), native ground covers with deep root systems that hold soil, or a combination. Flat areas near the water benefit from grass varieties that tolerate occasional wet conditions, like Zoysia. On the upland side of the property, standard Bermuda or Zoysia works well for sunny areas. We walk the property with you, assess the slope angles and soil conditions, and make specific recommendations before quoting anything.

Buford is about 45 miles from Covington. Is there a trip charge, and is it worth your while?

No trip charge. Buford is on the far edge of our service area, about 45 miles up I-85 from our Covington base, and the written estimate is the same price regardless of location. Because of the distance, we are best suited to recurring lawn care contracts, HOA and commercial accounts, and larger installs: full sod, drainage, erosion control, landscaping, and hardscape. The Mall of Georgia corridor has plenty of commercial and retail work that fits, and we can service multiple properties under a single agreement. Call (470) 226-7215 to discuss your property and what a maintenance contract would look like.

Do you serve the Mall of Georgia and Hamilton Mill areas of Buford?

Yes. We cover the residential and commercial growth on the Gwinnett County side of town, including the 30519 corridor around the Mall of Georgia and the Hamilton Mill area, along with the established homes near historic Main Street and the Tannery Row district. Sod on aging lawns, lawn care maintenance contracts, drainage corrections on new construction, and outdoor living projects are the consistent requests here, and we run all of it from our Covington base.

Do you serve both the Gwinnett and Hall County sides of Buford?

Yes. Buford straddles the Gwinnett and Hall county line, and we work on both sides, from the near-lake communities around Lake Lanier on the north edge to the subdivisions filling in around the Mall of Georgia to the south. We make the trip up I-85 from Covington for the work that fits, whether that is erosion-control grading on a sloped lakefront lot or a standard lawn care contract on a subdivision yard.
