A successful landscape project starts with the right plan. Alalawn provides professional landscape consulting for homeowners, businesses, and property owners who want experienced guidance before making changes to their outdoor spaces.
With decades of hands-on landscaping experience, we can evaluate your property, discuss your goals, identify potential challenges, and help determine the best approach for your project. We look at the entire outdoor environment—including existing landscaping, plant placement, drainage, irrigation, hardscaping, lighting, and how you want to use the space.
Whether you’re planning a new landscape, considering a major renovation, trying to solve an ongoing problem, or simply aren’t sure where to begin, Alalawn can provide practical recommendations based on your property and priorities.
Our goal is to help you make informed decisions and develop an outdoor plan that balances appearance, functionality, long-term performance, and your investment.
Properties Serviced
Focused on Customer Satisfaction
We discuss what you want to accomplish, how you use your outdoor space, the problems you want to solve, and the features you'd like to incorporate.
We assess the existing landscape, property layout, planting areas, drainage, irrigation, hardscapes, lighting, and other factors that can influence your project.
Based on your property and priorities, we provide practical recommendations to help you determine the best path forward for your landscape.
Planning an outdoor project can quickly become complicated. Plant selection, drainage, irrigation, hardscaping, lighting, property layout, and long-term maintenance all influence how well a landscape ultimately looks and performs. Alalawn provides professional landscape consulting throughout Birmingham and surrounding communities to help property owners make better decisions before the work begins.
Our consulting services are ideal for homeowners and businesses planning a new landscape, considering renovations, addressing problem areas, or looking for experienced recommendations on how to improve an existing outdoor space.
Because Alalawn works across landscape installation, irrigation, drainage, hardscaping, renovations, and outdoor lighting, we can look at your property as a complete outdoor environment rather than focusing on just one feature. This helps identify opportunities and potential problems that might otherwise be overlooked.
Whether you already have a clear vision or aren’t sure where to start, Alalawn can help you develop a practical direction for your property and turn your ideas into a well-planned outdoor project.

Ed and his team did two projects for me in the last couple months (May and June 2026). First was a low rise stone retaining wall adjacent to a long, steep driveway. The one level wall was tied into my driveway in order to prevent the rainwater runoff from continuing to erode the lawn next to it. While doing this work I also had them install a short run by another concrete wall and adjacent to the landing. The second effort was a stone retaining wall up on the landing to replace a wooden timber wall I had installed eons ago and was rotted to the core. Again, very nicely done. Pricing was, I believe, fair and reasonable. I certainly couldn’t have done it myself and they delivered, installed, and cleaned up like the professionals they are. I’m totally sold on Ed and his team.Posted on Google![]()

My front yard has been completely redesigned by Ed & his team. This was no easy task as I have a steeply sloped yard with old trees and lots of roots. After cleaning out the yard of roots, weeds and poison oak, they built a beautiful stone wall, laid sod, planted many beautiful flowering plants and finished with pine straw. They also solved some drainage issues on the side and in the backyard. They were timely and consistent with continuous communication. I highly recommend Alalawn for your landscaping and water drainage needs.Posted on Google![]()

Alalawn has just completed repair on the french drain in my sloping backyard AND prepared flower beds and stepping stones. I am so pleased with the results! Ed was generous with his knowledge and shared great tips with me. The work was done promptly and efficiently. Highly recommend!Posted on Google![]()

Incredible company. Did drainage work in our yard and fixed a problem we’ve had for years. Ed answered all my questions and even came back out to our property to make an adjustment based off our preferences. Pricing was excellent and work was done correctly and thoroughly. Would strongly recommend to everyone.Posted on Google![]()

Ed and his team have a combination of 3 traits that not many landscaping companies have all 3 of. They do great work, they are very creative in solutions, and they are very fairly priced. I have had several landscaping/drainage companies come to my house that didn’t seem interested in weighing options, they immediately went to the most expensive option, and then quoted me for absurd pricing. I have had Ed’s team do 2 different drainage projects at my house, and for each one Ed laid out multiple solutions in varying price ranges, and he showed me pros and potential cons/things to be aware of, for each choice. It’s just a very honest company. I will be calling them before anyone else for future projects.Posted on Google![]()

Ed and his team did a truly outstanding job on our new lawn and landscaping! It was a big job, and I felt like communication was going to be key in its success. Unlike all other companies we interviewed, the whole team really listened to what we wanted. I really wanted to create somewhat of a cottage garden feel in my new beds, instead of manicured boxwoods, and overgrown arborvitaes. Ed gave me his time, more than once, listened, and then took my amateur sketches and ideas, added his knowledge and expertise, and gave me my dream garden beds filled with my favorite perennials and evergreens (and some of his too)! Not only do they do the job right, but they really go the extra mile; before, during and after the job is complete. The Alalawn team is the best!Posted on Google![]()

The team did an amazing job. They were highly skilled, knowledgeable & professional. They replaced the entire walkway landscaping fixtures that had been damaged by a storm. They also replaced areas of sod damaged by equipment.Posted on Google![]()

Ed, Cruz, and Leo did an awesome job installing sod in my yard. Everything was thoroughly explained. All questions were answered. They got it done in one day. They even replanted some trees for me without me asking.Posted on Google![]()
