Sod Installation Birmingham, AL

​Sod is real grass that comes in rolls that make it easier to lay down grass in an area quickly. Some homeowners choose to do sod installation themselves but when you have obstacles or want to ensure that your sod placement is seamless, always hire a professional sod installation company like Birmingham Landscape Designer. The largest factor to the cost and expense of your sod installation project will be the size of the yard. Obstacles such as tree stumps or hardscapes such as patios or gazebos, need special equipment to either excavate or special care to operate around so as to not destroy other landscaping or hardscaping. Contact us today for a free quote on sod installation!

Turf Installation in Birmingham, AL

The lawn will look immaculate year round and you never break a sweat taking care of lawn services. It is more expensive and isn’t allowed by all HOA’s.

Landscape Curb Installation in Birmingham, AL

Landscape curbing can protect the parts of your landscape you want untouched and also give your property a finished look.

Landscape curbing is also used inside a landscape to keep flower beds contained and seal gardens in. Also known as edging, landscape curbing is common in most front or back yards. Contact Birmingham Landscape Designer today for a free quote on your upcoming landscape curb installation project!

Resloping Lawn Birmingham, AL

People have the slope of their lawn redone for a variety of reasons. Resloping your yard requires reshaping the existing earth.

When adding hardscapes to your property or doing a major landscape design, resloping many times is necessary. Grading for a driveway, resloping to install a deck, patio, or porch, sloping for a new fence, or leveling around your home for your foundation are all common reasons homeowners require land levelling services in Birmingham, AL. Excavation, dirt for filling/grading, soil type, and erosion control will all need to be covered with your hardscape contractor from Birmingham Landscape Designer.

Arbor, Pergola, and Trellis Installation in Birmingham, AL

Pergola

Trellis

Arbor

Used mainly to add accent and style to your backyard, arbors, pergolas, and trellises are great focal points and lovely additions to your entertaining area outside. You might wonder what the difference between these three weird words are and we get it. Pergolas are four-pillared structures with an open, lattice roof. Most are wooden with stone or concrete patios. Pergolas are usually large enough to cover an outdoor seating area and sometimes an entire extension of your home such as your outdoor kitchen or outdoor living space. Trellises are usually wooden lattice work that only truly serve as design purposes. Lining a garden path or beautiful areas of your yard with trellises covered in vines and plant overgrowth. Arbors are the archways or tunnels made from lattice that are used as entrances to pathways, outdoor walkways, gated entrances, and garden pathways. All three are most commonly made of wood, but plastic and metal designs are available for purchase. Birmingham, AL residents needing help installing their arbor, pergola, or trellis need to call Birmingham Landscape Designer today to have a professional hardscapes contractor give you a quote on your upcoming hardscapes project!

Gazebo Installation Birmingham, AL

Gazebos are usually complex detailed structures that a professional should install. Gazebos are a great addition to your property. They add beauty, shelter, and a great place to sit and enjoy the outdoors. Gazebos come in all shapes and sizes. The placement and surface area will determine how large of a gazebo you could possibly have built. Materials and added features all affect the cost of your gazebo installation. Some communities build larger gazebos for parks and municipal parks. If you need something larger than a normal gazebo, we recommend looking at pavillion installations. Pavilions are different than gazebos in shape by being rectangular versus the multi shaped options for gazebos. Below are several items that need to be looked into when beginning your landscape design and planning your gazebo construction:

Gazebo Materials:
Wooden Gazebo Installation
Metal Gazebo Installation
Brick Gazebo Installation
Vinyl Gazebo Installation

Hardscapes Services Birmingham, AL

Water Fountain with Lighting

Some hardscapes need some maintenance or repairs from time to time. Birmingham Landscape Designer is more than happy to assist you in any hardscape services you might require or need. Building dry wells is sometimes necessary for those needed to drain off water or seepage from underground. Check with the local government before digging anywhere that there could be utility lines. For those who spend a lot of time around their hardscapes or water features outside might need the services of an outdoor misting system. An outdoor misting system sprays water in a mist so fine that it cools the air while delivering moisture to you. They also help plants and animals keep cool in the summer. From time to time, you will need new gravel, rocks, soil, or pebbles to complement your hardscaping. Loose rocks and gravel shift and move over time. As your hardscape starts to lose some of its structure you will need to add more soil or rocks. Birmingham Landscape Designer will deliver and install any soil or rocks you need delivered. Contact us today for a free quote for any hardscaping services you may require.
