Professional Landscaping Services in North Georgia
Your Local Tree & Outdoor Property Experts — Right Here in North Georgia
Your Yard Should Be Something You Love, Not Something You Dread
A well-maintained yard makes your home look better, feel more welcoming, and adds real value to your property. But keeping up with planting, mulching, hedge trimming, bed maintenance, and seasonal clean-up on your own takes more time and effort than most homeowners have to spare.
Nature Tamer is a full-service landscaping company based in Oxford, Georgia, with over 25 years of experience transforming yards across Newton County, Covington, Conyers, Madison, Social Circle, and the surrounding North Georgia area. We handle everything from a one-time landscape makeover to ongoing seasonal maintenance — so your yard looks great year-round without taking over your weekends.
Whether you need a fresh planting design, a mulch refresh before spring, overgrown hedges brought back under control, or a complete outdoor transformation, we’ve got you covered. Call us today for a free on-site estimate.
Nature Tamer is not just a lawn service — we're a full land management company. That means we look at your entire property holistically: drainage, grading, tree health, planting, and hardscaping all working together. You won't get that perspective from a lawn crew.

Landscape Design & Planning — Start With a Plan That Works
Great landscaping doesn't happen by accident — it starts with a thoughtful plan. We assess your property's sun exposure, soil conditions, drainage, and how you actually use your outdoor spaces, then create a design that looks beautiful, suits Georgia's climate, and won't require constant replanting because the wrong plants were put in the wrong places. Whether you want a simple front-yard refresh, a backyard retreat, or a full property redesign, we'll walk you through a plan before a single plant goes in the ground.
Planting Services — Trees, Shrubs, Flowers & Gardens
We install and replace a wide variety of plants suited to Georgia's climate and your yard's specific conditions — from shade trees and ornamental shrubs to seasonal flowers and perennial borders. We source healthy, quality plants and install them correctly so they actually thrive, not just survive.

Mulch & Pine Straw Installation — The Finishing Touch That Does Real Work
Fresh mulch is one of the simplest, highest-impact things you can do for your landscape. It suppresses weeds, retains moisture, regulates soil temperature, and makes your beds look polished and well-kept. Pine straw is a popular Georgia alternative that's lightweight, long-lasting, and especially suited to sloped beds where mulch can wash.
We install both mulch and pine straw for new beds, annual top-ups, and full property refreshes. We'll recommend the right material and depth for your beds and plants.

Hedge Trimming & Shrub Care — Clean Lines, Healthy Plants
Overgrown hedges and shrubs can make an otherwise well-kept yard look neglected fast. Regular trimming keeps them healthy, well-shaped, and sized for their space — and prevents the much harder job of cutting back seriously overgrown plants that have been ignored for years. We trim and shape all types of hedges and ornamental shrubs common to Georgia landscapes — boxwoods, hollies, Leyland cypress, knock-out roses, azaleas, and more. We also advise on whether struggling shrubs should be trimmed back, rejuvenated, or replaced entirely.
Flower Bed Installation & Maintenance — Beds That Stay Beautiful
A well-designed flower bed frames your home and adds color and texture to your landscape. But beds require regular attention — weeding, edging, mulch refreshing, seasonal plant swaps, and occasional soil amendment to keep them looking their best. We install new flower beds from scratch or refresh and maintain existing ones. Whether you want low-maintenance native perennials that come back every year or a rotating seasonal display with annuals, we'll set up a plan that works for your goals and your schedule.
Spring & Fall Clean-Up — Start and End Every Season Right
The best time to set your yard up for success is right at the beginning of each season — and the best time to protect it for next year is right at the end. Our seasonal clean-up service handles all the one-time tasks that fall between regular maintenance:
Leaf removal and bed clean-out
Cutting back ornamental grasses and perennials
Fresh mulch or pine straw application
Shrub trimming and shape-up
Debris removal and general yard tidy-up
Planting seasonal color (annuals for spring or fall displays)

Why Professional Landscaping Is Worth It
Increases Property Value
Professionally landscaped homes consistently sell faster and at higher prices. Curb appeal is real and measurable.
Reduces Long-Term Maintenance
A well-planned landscape with the right plants and mulch takes care of itself far better than a patchwork yard that needs constant attention.
Protects Your Property
The right ground cover, plantings, and grading prevent soil erosion, reduce runoff, and protect your home's foundation.
Makes Your Yard a Place You Use
A beautiful outdoor space extends your living area and makes your home more enjoyable every single day.
Better for the Environment
Native plants, mulch, and proper drainage reduce the need for watering, chemicals, and constant replanting.

From beds and hedges to drainage and hardscaping, we handle everything — you work with one company instead of coordinating multiple contractors.

Landscaping FAQs
Most mature trees benefit from professional pruning every 3 to 5 years, though young trees may need more frequent shaping to develop a strong structure. Trees near structures, power lines, or high-traffic areas should be checked annually. Dead or diseased branches should be removed as soon as they're spotted, regardless of the last pruning date. When you call us for an estimate, we'll give you a personalized recommendation based on your tree's current condition.
Landscaping costs vary widely depending on the scope of the work. A spring clean-up and mulch refresh for an average residential property might run $300–$800. A full planting and bed installation project could be $1,000–$5,000 or more depending on the size and plant selection. Larger projects involving hardscaping, drainage, or sod are priced separately. We always provide a free, detailed on-site estimate before any work begins — so you'll have an exact price for your specific project.
In Georgia, spring (March–May) and fall (September–November) are the best seasons for most landscaping work. Spring is ideal for new planting, mulching, and bed installation before the summer heat. Fall is great for Fescue sod, overseeding, perennial planting, and end-of-season clean-up. That said, many services — hardscaping, tree work, drainage, hedge trimming — can be done year-round. We'll tell you the best timing for your specific project.
Yes. Many of our customers schedule recurring services — spring and fall clean-ups, annual mulch applications, hedge trimming throughout the growing season, and seasonal bed replanting. We're happy to put together a maintenance schedule that keeps your property looking great year-round without you having to think about it. Ask us about ongoing maintenance when you request your estimate.
Absolutely — and this is one of the biggest advantages of working with Nature Tamer. Most landscaping companies don't handle trees, and most tree services don't do landscaping. We do both, which means we can assess your entire outdoor property in one visit, coordinate tree work and landscaping together, and make sure the finished result works as a whole — not as two separate jobs done by two different companies who never talked to each other.
