Walls, drainage, lawns and outdoor living for homes and larger properties in and around the Shelby County seat.
Columbiana mixes historic in-town homes with larger, more rural lots out toward the county. That means a wide range of projects: refreshing beds and walkways around older houses, regrading and draining big yards, holding back slopes and creating outdoor spaces with room to spread out.
Alalawn handles all of it. We build stone and block retaining walls, install French drains and dry creek beds, lay sod and irrigation, renovate overgrown landscapes and add patios, walkways and lighting.
We’ll come out, walk the property and give you options at different price points.
Our crews work throughout Columbiana and central Shelby County, including nearby Calera and Helena.

Alalawn did a great job for us last week! Did a rock drainage area, sod in front yard, along with a pea gravel parking area. Also cleaned up a natural area for me that was out of control with old leaves/pinestraw. Ed was great to share his thoughts and the two men who were here on the project were very professional and completed the job quickly and cleaned everything up afterwards. I’d definitely recommend and use again.Posted on Google![]()

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.
Tell us what’s going on with your yard. Ed will walk the property, lay out your options at different price points and give you an honest recommendation.
