Landscape design, installation, lighting, irrigation and lawn maintenance from our office on Cochran Street in south Macon, between Macon and Warner Robins.
LawnWorks was established over 20 years ago and we have developed an excellent reputation by treating each client's project as if it were our own. We not only design and install landscapes, but we design and implement the final grade, irrigation, drainage, hardscape, planting, and exterior lighting. Just as importantly as the initial installation, our maintenance teams provide the necessary upkeep to your landscape for years of enjoyment.
Our core clients want one service provider to handle all facets of their landscaping needs and wants. These clients will always be our first priority. We are big enough to serve you, but small enough to know you.
LEGEND
Design
Consultation, CAD drawings and a plan built around your budget.
Build
Planting, hardscape, irrigation and lighting by our installation crews.
Maintain
Weekly and bi-weekly care so the garden matures the way it was drawn.
Our core values, reinforced daily in our morning huddles:
Integrity. Craftsmanship. Commitment.
We believe in setting expectations for our projects, putting them in detailed plans and quotes and implementing the design exactly as it is drawn. We can provide CAD drawings, photo imaging, as well as an extensive portfolio to help you envision the design, and we design and print large format plans from our own office.
A consultation at your property
Call or email us to set an appointment. Rick comes out, walks the property for a site analysis and asks a lot of questions to find out exactly what will be best suited for your lifestyle and budget.
A budget, then a plan
Designing a landscape around a budget allows us to provide a plan that will not exceed your budget and typically have several phases. We build projects from $1,000 to $300,000.
Your design and quote
A complex landscape design takes about 1 week. A simple quote for enhancements usually arrives within 24-48 hours of your first call.
“I will come out (on time) and meet with you and discuss your plant preferences and landscape tastes, advise you on what I think would add appeal to your property, and determine a budget for your landscaping project. 90% of my quotes have a 24 hour turn around. CAD drawings may be slightly longer.”
With over 20 years of experience, we are keenly aware of which plant types are best suited for our climate in Macon and Warner Robins. We regularly try new plant varieties as they become available from Monrovia, Southern Living, Proven Winners and First Editions. We have a unique vision for every property.
Since we are a full service landscape company, one team can take your property from inception to maturity: design, installation, the systems underneath and the care that follows.
Consultation, CAD drawings, photo imaging
Our landscape design process starts with a consultation to determine a vision for the landscape, and we work throughout the design process with our clients to ensure their expectations are being satisfied. Our availability lists feature plants from Southern Living Plants, Proven Winners, and First Editions Plants.

Landscape lighting is one of the most exciting services we offer around Macon and Warner Robins. We use low voltage lighting fixtures that accent the desirable features of your home and landscape, and our lighting design team crafts each project so the result illuminates your property like a work of art. Once you have seen how amazing it all can look when it's been illuminated properly, you'll see your living space in a whole new light.
“I was also thrilled with the lighting that Rick recommended. It added a beautiful ambiance to our home at night.”
Creating outdoor living spaces is one of the most exciting types of projects we design and build. Extending the living space of your home into the garden can be a wonderful experience. We build custom fireplaces, outdoor patios and soothing water features, and we install fireplaces and outdoor kitchens with a focus on creating a unique ambiance that will allow you to relax and recharge in your backyard.
Hardscapes provide the foundation to your landscape design: concrete and paver patios, retaining walls, concrete driveways, flagstone walkways and natural stone walls.
Nothing brings more joy than a beautiful blooming landscape. We create annual flower compositions that last season long with the newest annual varieties available, and after decades of installing seasonal color we know the ideal timing for planting.
PLANTING WINDOWS
We primarily install seasonal color April 15th-30th and November 1st-15th, and with over 2 decades of experience we can guarantee your seasonal color will be stunning and last until the next color change.
Containers, flower boxes and topiaries planted for the season, so the color reaches the front door and the deck as well as the beds.
Lawn maintenance is vital to the success of any landscape. We train our teams to identify plant material, to know how and when to prune, and to identify weeds and perennials. Choose the plan that fits your property.

Several years ago, while on my way to an appointment, I passed a yard that really caught my eye. I liked it so much that I brought my wife back later in the day to see how nice it was. We had recently added a gate and some brick work to our yard and needed to install landscaping around it. Luckily, there was a small sign in the corner of the yard and that's how I came to call on LawnWorks.
From my first interaction with Mr. Wallace, I have been extremely pleased. Rick was very punctual for our initial consultation. He listened to the ideas we had and had several suggestions of his own. The installation was done in a very professional and timely manner and the plants were very healthy and full.
We have been using LawnWorks for many years, multiple times each year to plant our seasonal flower beds and install trees and bushes. We hope to add an outdoor fireplace to our backyard soon and will definitely be calling on Rick's expertise to help us come up with a plan that will compliment our home. From the planning stages to installation, LawnWorks is a great company to work with.
I highly recommend LawnWorks to anyone who wants to have excellent results and customer care. I have had the pleasure of working with the owners and operational leader of LawnWorks and have experienced their passion for their work and serving their customers well. The owners, leaders and crew from LawnWorks take time to be a family and have great working relationships. Because they not only love what they do and are competent and skilled in their trade, they enjoy working and being together. Values of hard work, going the extra mile and superior quality of work means that customers get amazing results when they trust LawnWorks for their landscaping needs.
I would rate Lawn Works 10 stars if I could. They have completed 2 major projects for us. They totally landscaped our front yard and then replaced our driveway and side walk. The quality of their work is second to none. I can not say enough about his crew, completely professional and knowledgeable. They take pride in their work and the results are testament to that. I highly recommend Rick Wallace and his company.
Rick and his team were a pleasure to work with. They were very detailed from design process all the way through the the installation of our landscape project! I was also thrilled with the lighting that Rick recommended. It added a beautiful ambiance to our home at night. We will be recommending Lawn Works to all of our friends!
LawnWorks stands head and shoulders above any lawn service we have used in the past. Not only is the work preformed of the highest caliber, but owner Rick Wallace is amazingly responsive to all questions and special requests. I am grateful for their great service and highly recommend LawnWorks.

The best days to have your property maintained are Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays for homeowners (Monday for corporate clients). Except for approximately 6-8 weeks in the Spring when turf is at its peak growth, there is very little difference in cut appearance come the weekend.
Please let us know 7-10 days ahead and we will provide weekly service the day before your party. With 14 days notification we can also provide a detail crew service, mulch, pruning and seasonal color so that your property will look its best before your big day!
From late April to late November we use a 2-3″ mowing height depending on how level your lawn is. Wherever and whenever we can we recycle the clippings back to the turf, as grass blades and leaves are the very best compost for building long-term highly organic soil. We sharpen our blades on average about every 12 to 15 working hours.
Turf grass should be watered 1″ per week. Annual and perennials should be watered 2-3 times per week. This answer is for established landscapes.
