The Eastern Gateway of the Triad
Burlington is Alamance County's largest city and the easternmost community in our service area. Located about 45 minutes from our Winston-Salem headquarters along I-40 and I-85, Burlington has its own distinct identity, separate from the core Triad cities. The city blends a proud textile manufacturing heritage with new commercial development, a growing university presence through nearby Elon, and established residential neighborhoods that have been the backbone of Alamance County for generations.
Burlington's landscape market is different from the western Triad. There is less competition from major landscaping firms here, which means many residential and commercial properties are underserved. Property owners who want professional-quality results often struggle to find reliable providers. That is the gap Webber Landscaping fills for Burlington and surrounding communities like Glen Raven, Haw River, and Elon.
We make the drive because the relationships and the work justify it. Our Burlington clients receive the same professional service, equipment, and expertise as our Winston-Salem neighbors.
Commercial Development & Mixed-Use Properties
Burlington is attracting new development that needs professional grounds care from day one.
Alamance Crossing
Alamance Crossing is Burlington's premier commercial destination, a sprawling retail and dining complex along the I-85/I-40 corridor that draws shoppers from across the region. The center's high visibility and foot traffic demand landscaping that stays sharp season after season. We provide grounds maintenance for commercial properties in the Alamance Crossing area, including weekly mowing, seasonal bed rotations, and hardscape upkeep that keeps pace with the center's heavy daily use.
University Drive Corridor
University Drive connects Burlington to Elon University and has become a commercial growth corridor with new restaurants, retail, and professional offices. Properties here need to project a polished image because they serve the university community and its visitors. We maintain commercial landscapes along University Drive with attention to the high standards this corridor demands, including clean bed edges, healthy seasonal color, and consistently manicured turf areas.
Historic Mill Conversions
Burlington and surrounding Alamance County have a rich textile manufacturing history. Former mill buildings throughout the city are being converted into mixed-use developments with apartments, offices, breweries, and event spaces. These adaptive reuse projects need landscape plans that honor the industrial character while creating welcoming outdoor spaces. We design and install landscapes for these properties using native plants, low-maintenance groundcovers, and hardscaping that complements the brick-and-timber architectural aesthetic.
I-85/I-40 Business Parks
Burlington's position at the interchange of I-85 and I-40 makes it a natural location for distribution centers, logistics companies, and business parks that serve the entire central Carolina region. These large commercial properties need efficient, practical grounds maintenance that covers significant acreage without excessive cost. Our commercial team handles multi-acre mowing, perimeter maintenance, entrance landscaping, and seasonal cleanup for industrial and distribution properties along these corridors.
Burlington's Neighborhoods & Surrounding Towns
Downtown Burlington's residential streets feature a mix of early 20th-century homes and mid-century ranches, many with mature landscapes that need renovation. Foundation plantings from the 1970s and 1980s are often overgrown, and lawns that were once lush have thinned under aging trees. Our renovation services bring these properties back to life with selective removals, fresh plantings, sod replacement, and updated bed designs that honor the home's character while requiring less ongoing maintenance.
Glen Raven, just north of Burlington, is a compact community with tidy residential streets where homeowners take pride in their yards. Haw River, to the south, is experiencing growth with new construction that needs complete landscape packages. Both communities fall within our Burlington service radius and receive the same level of care.
The neighborhoods near Elon University see a mix of long-term residents and faculty households who expect professional-grade landscape maintenance. Properties here often have well-established lawns and gardens that benefit from weekly mowing contracts, seasonal fertilization programs, and annual mulch and pruning services. The university's own beautifully maintained campus sets a high standard for the surrounding residential community.
What Makes Burlington Landscaping Unique
Different Soil Composition
While Burlington shares the general Piedmont red clay base, Alamance County soils near the Haw River tend to be slightly sandier in some areas, with better natural drainage than the heavier clay found in Winston-Salem or Greensboro. This affects plant selection, fertilization rates, and irrigation needs. We soil test Burlington properties before making recommendations, because the conditions can vary significantly from lot to lot based on proximity to the river system and local topography.
Underserved Market
Burlington is outside the core service area for most Winston-Salem and Greensboro-based landscaping companies, creating a gap in professional-level service. Many Burlington property owners have experienced inconsistent work from smaller operators or have had difficulty finding commercial-grade maintenance providers. We fill that gap with the same equipment, training, and reliability our core Triad clients receive, and we schedule our Burlington routes to ensure consistent, dependable service days.
Growth Opportunity
Burlington is one of the fastest-growing areas in the eastern Triad, with new residential and commercial development expanding the city's footprint. New subdivisions, commercial outparcels, and mixed-use projects all need landscape services from the ground up. We bring our new-construction expertise in grading, sod installation, and landscape design to Burlington's expanding market, giving developers and homeowners access to Triad-quality landscaping services.

Yes. Burlington is about 45 minutes from our home base, and we make the trip because our Burlington clients deserve the same professional service available in the core Triad.

Yes. Our Burlington service area covers all of central Alamance County, including Glen Raven to the north, Haw River to the south, Elon to the west, and the I-85/I-40 corridor between them. If you are within about 10 minutes of downtown Burlington, you are in our service area. For properties farther east into Alamance County, contact us and we will let you know if we can reach you on our existing route schedule.
We have experience working on adaptive reuse and mixed-use properties. Burlington's mill conversions present unique landscaping challenges, including compacted industrial soils that need significant amendment, limited planting space between buildings and parking, and the need for designs that complement historic architecture rather than competing with it. We use native plants, architectural hardscaping, and container plantings to create inviting outdoor spaces that match the industrial aesthetic these conversions are known for.
Commercial grounds maintenance is our largest category in Burlington, driven by the Alamance Crossing area and I-85 corridor business properties. On the residential side, landscape renovation is consistently popular because many Burlington homes have aging landscapes that need updating. Sod installation is growing as new development expands, and land grading is in demand for both new construction and existing properties with drainage issues. Weekly mowing contracts are also strong, particularly with homeowners near Elon who want reliable, professional lawn care.
