Oxford is a historic college town laid out in 1839 around what is now Oxford College of Emory University, and that history shows in its streets. The 146-acre Oxford Historic District is full of Greek Revival homes from the 1840s through the 1930s, many with mature canopy trees, boxwood hedges, and established beds that need careful refreshing rather than wholesale replacement. We treat older landscapes with the patience they require, preserving the planting that has matured for decades while bringing tired beds and overgrown shrubs back into shape.
The campus core and the surrounding residential streets sit close together, so most properties are tidy in-town lots where edging, seasonal color, and clean lawn lines make the biggest difference. Newer homes on the edges of town off Emory Street and Asbury Street are a strong fit for fresh sod, irrigation, and full landscaping builds. Because Oxford shares the red clay soil common across Newton County, we grade and prep every sod and planting job around the actual contour of the yard, not a one-size template.
From our Covington base, Oxford is essentially next door, a short drive up Emory Street. That closeness means a fast look when water is pooling after a storm or a quick turnaround on a maintenance visit. Call (470) 226-7215 to schedule a free estimate anywhere in Oxford or Newton County.
