Buffalo Creek Gardens is located on 7-acres just north of Knoxville, TN in the Norris Community, where we have operated for more than 18 years. Our garden center is located on site and it is the base for our landscaping business. Also on site, is "The Florist at Buffalo Creek". We stock soil, mulch and chips which can be delivered. Landscape designs are included in estimates. Our landscaping projects center on new and recovered older flower gardens which may include retaining walls and water run-off and erosion management.

Buffalo Creek designed and installed a French drain to divert the water away form the embankment. Barbara, with Buffalo Creek, worked with us on the design and materials selection to install the drain. They built a short retaining wall using existing stones, replaced the dirt and installed plantings and ground cloth to hold the embankment in place. They also created a river rock covered garden where the drain empties. Their employees take pride in their work We were so pleased with the first project that we had them work on the area across the front of our home. With Barbara's help, we worked out what we wanted for each area and then broke it up into smaller projects that we could do as resources became available. Buffalo Creek employees removed the plastic, Junipers and mulch. Then they graded the area, installed top soil, plantings, stepping stones, and a bird feeder. We now have a beautiful garden with various plants blooming from spring until late fall. At a later date, in the rear of our home, Buffalo Creek employees installed a second larger paver patio surrounded by a butterfly garden. They also planted a tree to help shade the patios. They used the sod from the patio and garden area to patch other areas of the lawn that needed it. They have also done a number of smaller projects for us. They installed a crushed stone walkway from the side of the house to the front gardens, removed a dead tree, and did the fall trimming of rose bushes and hedges. Whenever possible, they reuse existing plants, stones, etc. Barbara and Al, the owners, are always personally involved in each project from start to finish and we highly recommend them.
Description of Work: The initial problem was with an embankment that was washing onto the driveway to our basement garage. Every time there was a heavy rain, more dirt ended up in the driveway and the roots of a tree at the top of the embankment were beginning to be exposed. As a result of our experience with this first project, we also had them work on the gardens in front and behind the house. In the front, on one side, the previous owner had taken down a tree, covered the area with plastic, mulched it and used it as a dog run; on the other side, the Junipers had taken over and in an old herb garden, the weeds had taken over. In the back, we had a small paver patio with a few flowers around it.
