Tucker is about 36 miles northwest of our Covington base, up I-20 and US-78 into northeast DeKalb County. It is an established mid-century suburb, and the neighborhoods around Main Street and Smoke Rise are full of 1960s and 70s ranch and split-level homes on good-sized lots. Those are exactly the properties that benefit from a landscaping refresh and a maintenance crew that shows up.
Tucker's older ranch homes and larger lots are built for landscaping refreshes, drainage work, and steady maintenance. We cover the full range of residential and commercial services across the Tucker area.

Learn more ›Tucker is an established mid-century suburb that incorporated as a city in 2015, with a walkable Main Street downtown where the train still runs through and the farmers market sets up on Saturdays. The residential streets around it, through neighborhoods like Idlewood and Northlake and out toward Smoke Rise, are lined with 1960s and 70s ranch and split-level homes, most on larger lots than newer subdivisions allow. Those lot sizes are where the opportunity is: foundation beds that were never updated after the original build, dated boxwoods and overgrown shrubs, and bed edges that have been lost over the years.
Bed refresh work is a big part of what we do in Tucker. Cleaning out the old material, resetting clean edges, and replanting transforms how a ranch home reads from the street without a full redesign. The other constant is DeKalb red clay. It compacts hard under decades of use, drains slowly, and wears lawns down, so we do a steady amount of sod replacement with real ground prep and regrading to move water off the clay and away from the house. For homeowners who want more, we handle complete landscape plans with new hardscape, sod, and planting.
The Lawrenceville Highway and Mountain Industrial Boulevard corridors give Tucker a strong base of commercial and light-industrial property, and the downtown investment keeps adding storefronts that want their grounds to match. From our Covington base, Tucker is about 36 miles northwest up I-20 and US-78, and our GDOT certification qualifies us for commercial and public works there.

The most common requests we get in Tucker are bed refresh work, sod replacement on aging lawns, and drainage fixes. The 1950s through 1970s ranch homes in Tucker typically have large lots with outdated plantings, compacted soil, and beds that have lost their edges over time. We clean them out, reset the edges with stone or steel edging, and replant with material that fits the home's style. For lawns that have struggled in DeKalb's red clay soil, we recommend sod replacement with proper ground prep so the problem does not repeat itself.
Yes, that is one of the most common jobs we do in Tucker. Overgrown foundation beds are a straightforward project: we remove the existing overgrown or dated material, reestablish clean bed edges, amend the soil where needed, and install new planting selected for the light conditions and the look you want. The result is an immediate improvement to curb appeal without touching the rest of the yard. Call us at (470) 226-7215 and describe what you are working with. We will come out and give you a written estimate.
Yes. The wooded, larger lots in Smoke Rise and the surrounding Tucker neighborhoods are a good fit for what we do. Bigger properties mean more lawn to keep watered and mowed, more bed area to design and maintain, and often slopes and tree cover that call for grading, drainage, or a retaining wall. We scale crews and equipment to the property rather than running a one-size mow-and-go route, and we are equally set up for commercial sites along the Lawrenceville Highway and Mountain Industrial corridors. Call us to walk the property and get a written estimate.
Yes. We work throughout Tucker, including the Idlewood and Northlake neighborhoods and the residential streets around the Main Street downtown. These are mostly mid-century ranch and split-level homes on good-sized lots, exactly the properties where bed refreshes, sod replacement on compacted DeKalb red clay, and steady maintenance make the biggest difference. Call (470) 226-7215 and tell us your street, and we will schedule a free estimate from our Covington base.
Yes. The Lawrenceville Highway and Mountain Industrial Boulevard corridors give Tucker a strong base of commercial and light-industrial property, and we maintain grounds for businesses and storefronts there year round. With downtown Tucker still adding storefronts, we also take on commercial installs, drainage, and hardscape, and our GDOT certification qualifies us for public works in the area. Call us to discuss scope and we will send a written proposal.
