Landscape Design
Landscapes are so much more than just “gardens.” Plants, trees, flowers and shrubs chosen for you, by you, to provide year-round color and comfort are all part of the overall package. If you prefer a low-maintenance property or a garden where you can “dig in” to keep it in shape, we will work with you.
Our talented design team will recommend a delightful selection of plant varieties and combinations that not only thrive in our scorching summers but also bring a fresh and captivating look to your space all year round.
Hardscapes
“Hardscape” includes patios, arbors, pergolas, landscaped walkways, planters, retaining walls, water features and even fire pits. We can create separate areas suited to you around your house, gardens and pool. You will be able to choose from a variety of brick, pavers, limestone, wood, gravel or concrete, to bring your vision to life. Your hardscaped and landscaped areas will join together into a creative show piece.
Grading & Sod
A proper grade will ensure water does not collect or pool. Gentle sloping permits water to follow its natural instinct and flow downward and away from your home. In South Louisiana, we can fill in dips, divets, holes and level uneven areas caused by wear and tear, storm damage and tree removal.
Leave the Dirty Work to Us
Work with a local excavation contractor in Covington, & New Orleans, LA.
The first step in any landscaping or new construction project is to make sure you have a clean and clear site. If you have dense vegetation standing in the way of construction, turn to Gordon’s Lawn & Landscaping. We’re a top-rated excavation contractor with years of experience.

Synthetic Turf
Synthetic turf (or artificial grass) offers many advantages over a traditional sod lawn. It is always green, never needs mowing and is pet-friendly. It can be suitable for a residential lawn or even for commercial applications.
When it comes to selecting the perfect style, color combination, and blade length, you’ll be spoilt for choice. Gordon’s Lawn and Landscaping offers industry-leading artificial grass products.
We can even create a custom putting green right in your own backyard! What’s more, artificial turf products offer the added advantages of reducing water consumption and being allergen-free.
Experience the beauty and convenience of a vibrant, low-maintenance residential lawn that will transform your outdoor space.
Drainage Solutions
If you have a swamp, bayou, or moat in your yard, consider a drainage solution tailored to your needs. Subsurface drains, including French drains, can be installed to slope away from your home, redirecting water.
Additionally, we can connect your existing gutters to the drain system to prevent puddling and erosion near your home’s foundation. In some cases, proper grading or sloping of the land may be necessary to encourage water flow. Adding new sod will help maintain the new grade for many years to come.
Landscape Lighting
Enhance the ambiance of your home, pathways, and foliage with the enchanting glow of low-voltage landscape lighting. This sophisticated lighting solution not only showcases your property’s finest features but also enhances safety for your loved ones.
Often referred to as “path” or “decorative” lighting, these compact fixtures work wonders in accentuating the beauty of your landscape. Illuminate your walkways for added security, highlight majestic trees or shrubs with mini-spotlights, or infuse a touch of color and whimsy to your entries and patio area.
