Serving a Community on the Rise
Kernersville sits at the geographic center of the Piedmont Triad, midway between Winston-Salem and Greensboro along the I-40 corridor. Over the past two decades, this once-small town has become one of the fastest-growing communities in Forsyth County, and that growth is visible in the new neighborhoods, expanding commercial parks, and fresh retail centers that line its main roads.
All that new construction means strong demand for landscape installation, sod, grading, and hardscaping. At the same time, Kernersville's established neighborhoods and its charming downtown historic district need ongoing maintenance, renovation, and seasonal care. Webber Landscaping serves both ends of the spectrum.
Located just a short drive from our Winston-Salem headquarters, Kernersville is one of our most-served communities. Our crews are in Kernersville multiple days every week, handling everything from new-build finish grading to weekly residential mowing contracts.
Kernersville's Building Boom
New homes and businesses mean new landscapes. We help Kernersville's newest properties start strong.
New Residential Subdivisions
Kernersville's residential growth shows no signs of slowing. New subdivisions along Union Cross Road, Macy Grove Road, and the NC-66 corridor are adding hundreds of homes that need complete landscape packages. Builders typically leave properties with rough grading and bare dirt, which means homeowners need finish grading, soil amendment, sod installation, and foundation plantings before their yard is livable. We offer bundled new-construction packages that handle everything from ground prep to the final walkthrough.
Triad Business Park & I-40 Corridor
The Triad Business Park and surrounding commercial developments along I-40 at the Kernersville exits have brought office buildings, distribution facilities, and flex spaces to the area. These properties need consistent commercial grounds maintenance, including mowing, seasonal plantings, and parking area upkeep. Our commercial team provides 12-month service agreements that keep these high-visibility properties looking professional year-round as they compete for tenants.
Sod Installation for New Builds
Sod installation is one of our most-requested services in Kernersville, directly tied to the construction boom. New homes on clay-heavy lots need careful soil preparation before sod goes down. We till the compacted soil left by construction equipment, amend with organic matter and sandy loam, establish proper grading for drainage, and then lay fresh Bermuda or fescue sod. This extra soil prep is what separates a lawn that thrives from one that struggles in its first summer.
Grading & Drainage for New Sites
New construction in Kernersville often reveals just how challenging Piedmont clay can be. Water pooling against foundations, erosion on sloped lots, and inadequate builder grading are common issues we fix. Our grading team uses laser-guided equipment to establish proper slope away from structures and direct stormwater to appropriate drainage points. We also install French drains, catch basins, and swales when surface grading alone is not sufficient.
Kernersville's Rooted Neighborhoods
Downtown Kernersville's historic district along Main Street retains a small-town charm that sets it apart from the surrounding Triad cities. Properties in the historic core feature mature landscaping, established shade trees, and older hardscaping that often needs renovation rather than replacement. We work with homeowners in the downtown area to preserve the character of their properties while updating worn-out beds, failing retaining walls, and overgrown foundation plantings.
The Sedge Garden community south of town and the Piney Grove area to the east are established residential neighborhoods with properties that have been landscaped for decades. Mature trees, aging shrubs, and compacted lawns are common. Our renovation services breathe new life into these properties with selective removals, fresh plantings, aeration, and sod replacement where the original turf has thinned.
The Fourth of July Park neighborhood and surrounding residential streets represent Kernersville's community-oriented lifestyle, where well-kept yards are a point of pride. Weekly mowing, seasonal cleanup, and annual mulch programs are popular services for homeowners who want reliable, professional results without the weekend work.

Start with grading. Most new-build lots in Kernersville have rough grading from the builder, but the finish grade that ensures proper drainage away from your foundation still needs to be done. Once grading is complete and drainage is established, we amend the clay soil, install sod, and then plan your landscape beds and plantings. Trying to plant or sod before the grade is correct leads to water problems and plant failure. We can assess your property and give you a phased plan that matches your budget and timeline.
During the active growing season from April through October, Kernersville lawns need weekly mowing to maintain a healthy height. Bermuda grass should be kept at 1.5 to 2 inches, while fescue performs best at 3 to 3.5 inches. During the peak summer heat of July and August, Bermuda may need mowing twice per week to keep up with growth. Our mowing contracts include weekly visits with edging, trimming, and blowing so you never have to worry about timing or missed weeks.
Yes, we maintain several commercial properties in and around the Triad Business Park and the I-40 corridor through Kernersville. Our commercial services include weekly mowing of grounds and common areas, seasonal mulch and bed maintenance, parking lot island care, and snow/ice treatment in winter. We offer 12-month contracts with set scheduling so property managers can count on consistent service. Call us at (336) 770-2385 to discuss your property's needs and get a custom maintenance quote.
The most common issue is water pooling against foundations because the builder's rough grade settled after construction or was never properly finished. Kernersville's heavy clay soil makes this worse because the clay does not absorb water quickly, so runoff concentrates in low spots. We also see erosion on sloped lots where the topsoil was stripped during construction and the exposed clay washes during rain. Our solutions include regrading to establish proper slope, installing French drains or catch basins for persistent wet areas, and adding erosion control measures like sod or ground cover on slopes.
