Meet Our Owner
Stuart Ward Owner/General Manager
Stuart began his career in corporate sales working in the chemical and environmental industries. As an entrepreneur at heart, he saw the potential for a new landscaping company in the North Atlanta metro area. Although there were many companies serving the market at that time, none took a truly professional approach to the business. By leveraging his experience in business with his passion for landscaping design he founded Buckhead Turfcare, LLC (now Buckhead Landscape and Design) in 1996.
Stuart Ward is designated a Certified Landscape Professional (CLP) through PLANET and is a Certified Pesticide Applicator in the state of Georgia. His favorite plants are the Camellia and the Mexican Petunia, and his favorite part of living in Atlanta is all the activities the city has to offer, such as the great concerts and events he attends with his wife.

Andrew Ward General Manager
As General Manager, Andrew is relentlessly focused on exceeding customer expectations. A self-described perfectionist, Andrew manages the company’s day-to-day operations and is also involved in every project from start to finish. It’s important to him that no detail is overlooked because he understands how important it is to his clients. Andrew got his start in the industry as a chemical technician, but his passion for creating beautiful landscapes and outdoor living spaces eventually led him to pursue certifications in plant identification as well as hand-drawn, AutoCAD, and DynaScape design. He’s also a licensed CAT24 pesticide applicator and certified paver installer. While the summer heat can be brutal, Andrew does appreciate Atlanta for a climate that gives him the opportunity to use a wide variety of plant species within the landscapes he creates. His favorite plants are Spider Web Fatsia and Yuletide Camellia.

He loves to start from nothing and bring a yard to life with new sod and complimentary plants and trees. Don also loves taking on the challenge of creating an outdoor living space that no one thought possible, complete with barbecue grill and fire pit. He holds a certificate in plant identification and is a licensed turfcare applicator. As a lover of the outdoors, in his free time he enjoys taking motorcycle rides with his wife, and his favorite thing about Atlanta is watching the seasons change.

Amanda Shelton Business Financial Manager
When it comes to billing and finance-related matters, Amanda is Buckhead Landscape and Design’s go-to person.

A native of Delaware, Amanda relocated to the Atlanta area when her children were young, in part, because of the many available opportunities. Today, she continues to appreciate the area for making it easy to find something fun and interesting to do virtually every day of the week. Her favorite flower is the “cheerful” Azalea because of the wide variety of colors that are available.
