About Us
Reliable landscape and lawn maintenance built on engineering principles, professional care, and long-term client relationships.
Who We Are
Associated Environmental Landscape (AEL) was founded in 1995 by Dave Henderson. At the time, Dave was operating an environmental engineering firm and envisioned a landscaping company built on scientific principles, structural integrity, and long-term environmental care.
Dave recognized that lasting landscape beauty depends entirely on what lies beneath the surface. Without proper understanding of soil dynamics, drainage, and turf biology, surface landscaping cannot thrive. By combining engineering principles with professional landscape care, AEL provides solutions that keep lawns and garden beds healthy, vibrant, and resilient through every season.
Serving North Metro Atlanta—including Alpharetta, Roswell, Buckhead, Johns Creek, Milton, Sandy Spring, Brookhaven, Marietta, and surrounding communities—we take pride in caring for many of your neighbors' properties with dependable, high-quality service.
Why Choose Us
We apply technical, scientific insight to soil, drainage, and plant care, ensuring long-term health rather than quick fixes.
Led directly by Dave and Melissa Henderson, ensuring consistent quality, direct communication, and reliable service.
