Akins Southern Green - Birmingham's Local Landscaping

Often, standing water is worsened by blocked drainage paths from accumulated debris like old branches, construction waste, or discarded landscaping materials. Our junk pickup service clears these obstructions, which is a critical first step. Removing this clutter allows water to flow naturally and prepares the area for any necessary grading or French drain installation to solve the drainage issue long-term.

Focus on items that block water flow or compact the soil. We commonly haul away old mulch piles, discarded pavers or bricks, fallen trees and branches, leftover construction materials, and even broken yard equipment. Clearing these items opens up the soil and eliminates physical dams that cause water to pool in specific areas of your Birmingham property.

While our primary service is efficient junk pickup and hauling, our experienced team takes a neighborly, observant approach. We can often identify obvious contributors to your drainage problem during the cleanup, such as low spots filled with debris or gutters draining into piled-up waste. We'll point out what we see so you have a clearer starting point for the next step in your landscaping solution.
