Based Right Here on Bailey Road
Webber Landscaping and Outdoor Solutions is headquartered at 875 Bailey Road in Winston-Salem. This is where our crews start every morning and where our equipment is maintained. Being based here means we know Winston-Salem's soil, climate, and growing seasons better than anyone.
Winston-Salem sits in USDA Hardiness Zones 7b and 8a, with hot, humid summers and mild winters. The Piedmont's characteristic red clay soil presents unique challenges for drainage, grading, and plant establishment. Our team has spent years learning exactly which turf varieties, shrubs, and trees thrive in this specific microclimate.
From the historic estates around Reynolda to the new commercial developments downtown, we provide complete landscaping solutions tailored to Winston-Salem's diverse properties.
Landscaping Across Winston-Salem's Communities
Every neighborhood has unique character and different landscaping needs. We tailor our approach to match.
Reynolda & Buena Vista
The Reynolda area features some of Winston-Salem's most distinguished properties, including large estates with mature hardwood canopies and formal garden spaces. Buena Vista's tree-lined streets require careful pruning, leaf management, and seasonal planting rotations. Many homes here have foundation plantings dating back decades that need skilled renovation rather than replacement.
Ardmore & West Salem
Ardmore's bungalow-era homes sit on compact lots where every square foot of landscaping counts. West Salem's historic properties near Old Salem Museums require sensitive landscape approaches that complement the district's character. We work with homeowners here on low-maintenance native plantings, small-space hardscaping, and efficient irrigation solutions suited to these classic Piedmont neighborhoods.
Sherwood Forest & Country Club Estates
These established residential communities south of downtown feature larger lots with mature landscapes. Properties in Sherwood Forest often have significant grading needs due to the rolling terrain, and many homeowners invest in retaining walls, paver patios, and premium sod installations. Country Club Estates properties demand meticulous lawn maintenance to match the neighborhood standard.
Lewisville-Clemmons Road Corridor
The western growth corridor along Lewisville-Clemmons Road includes newer subdivisions where builders often leave minimal landscaping. These properties need complete landscape design and installation, from grading and drainage solutions to full planting plans. The newer construction in this area also means fresh sod installation is in constant demand as homeowners finish their properties.
Downtown Revival & Commercial Properties
Winston-Salem's downtown is undergoing a major transformation. The Wake Forest Innovation Quarter has brought new life to the former R.J. Reynolds tobacco campus, and those commercial and mixed-use properties require professional grounds maintenance year-round. We serve multiple properties in the Innovation Quarter with weekly mowing, seasonal color installations, and hardscape maintenance.
The Hanes Mall area remains the Triad's largest retail hub, and the surrounding Thalhimer Realty commercial properties along Hanes Mall Boulevard and Stratford Road depend on immaculate curb appeal. Our commercial crews handle everything from parking lot island plantings to large-scale seasonal rotations for retail centers.
Along the Peters Creek Parkway corridor and University Parkway business district, we maintain office parks, medical complexes, and multi-tenant properties that need consistent, reliable grounds care throughout the growing season.
Working with Winston-Salem's Piedmont Soil & Climate
Red Clay Soil Solutions
Winston-Salem's Piedmont red clay is dense, drains poorly, and compacts easily. Before any planting or sod installation, we amend the soil with organic matter and address drainage to give roots the best chance. For grading projects, understanding how clay behaves when wet versus dry is critical to avoiding erosion and settling issues down the road.
Zone 7b/8a Plant Selection
Our plant selections are based on what actually thrives here, not a generic nursery catalog. We favor tall fescue and Bermuda blends for lawns, crepe myrtles and river birch for ornamental trees, and native azaleas, oakleaf hydrangeas, and loropetalum for foundation plantings. Every recommendation accounts for sun exposure, soil pH, and irrigation access.
Seasonal Maintenance Cycles
Winston-Salem's humid subtropical climate means a long growing season but also high disease pressure. We time fertilization, aeration, and overseeding to match Piedmont conditions, not a national schedule. Spring cleanup starts in early March here, and fall leaf removal in neighborhoods like Buena Vista and Reynolda can run well into December with the mature canopy overhead.

Winston-Salem falls in USDA Zones 7b and 8a, which is a transition zone for turf grass. Tall fescue performs well in shaded yards and cooler microclimates, while Bermuda grass excels in full-sun properties. Many homeowners opt for a Bermuda/fescue blend to get year-round color. Zoysia is another strong option for its drought tolerance once established. We evaluate your specific property's sun exposure, soil conditions, and irrigation before recommending a variety.
Piedmont red clay is nutrient-rich but extremely dense and poorly draining. For planting beds, we amend the clay with compost and aged mulch to improve structure and drainage. For grading projects, we account for clay's expansion and contraction with moisture changes, which can cause settling if not handled properly. Sod installations on clay require extra soil preparation, including tilling and top-dressing with sandy loam to establish a root-friendly environment. We've worked with this soil for years and know exactly how to manage it.
Yes. We provide ongoing grounds maintenance for commercial properties throughout Winston-Salem, including the Innovation Quarter, Hanes Mall corridor, and University Parkway business district. Our commercial services include weekly mowing and edging, seasonal color rotations, mulch and bed maintenance, parking area cleanup, and snow/ice treatment when needed. We offer 12-month contracts with reliable scheduling so your property always looks its best.
For warm-season grasses like Bermuda and zoysia, late spring through early summer (May through June) gives the best results, as the grass enters its active growth phase. Fescue sod is best installed in early fall (September through mid-October) when cooler temperatures and fall rains support root establishment without heat stress. We can install sod year-round for urgent situations, but timing the installation to match the grass variety's growth cycle produces the strongest, longest-lasting lawn.
