Landscape design in Buford, GA
We design landscapes that thrive in the Lake Lanier climate.
The climate and terrain in Buford and the surrounding area can present unique challenges for homeowners looking to maintain a lush, healthy yard. Hot summers, periodic droughts, and varied sunlight exposure all impact how well a landscape thrives. That’s where Lake Lawns shines—our deep knowledge of local ecosystems and plant species allows us to create landscape designs that are both beautiful and sustainable.
By focusing on native plants, we create landscapes that are well-adapted to Georgia’s environment. Native plants require less water, are more resistant to local pests, and need less ongoing maintenance, making them an ideal choice for busy homeowners. Plus, they contribute to the local ecosystem, supporting wildlife and pollinators like birds, butterflies, and bees. Our team will carefully select plants that are not only suited to your yard’s unique conditions but also create a stunning visual impact.
Beautiful design, minimal upkeep.
At Lake Lawns, we understand that homeowners want beautiful landscapes without the headache of constant upkeep. That’s why we prioritize low-maintenance landscape designs that simplify your life while still providing an attractive, welcoming outdoor space.
Our designs include carefully selected native plants that thrive in our heat, ensuring your landscape remains vibrant with minimal effort. We incorporate drought-tolerant species and use hardscaping features that not only add beauty but also reduce the need for frequent maintenance. Our strategic designs limit the necessity for pruning, weeding, and excessive fertilizer application, allowing you to spend more time enjoying your outdoor space instead of working in it.
A waterfront landscape design built for fun and function
For this Flowery Branch project, we installed a new patio, built a retaining wall, and added a flagstone path with stone steps. We also buried all the downspouts to help with drainage and planted a mix of native, deer-resistant plants that do great in the shade.
