Augusta Horticulture | Experienced Landscaping Services in Birmingham, AL

The first step is a professional site assessment. We'll visit your property to identify the root cause, which is often improper grading or compacted soil common in our area. From there, we can recommend solutions like regrading to create positive slope away from your home or installing a French drain system to channel water safely away, protecting your foundation and lawn.

Absolutely. As horticulture experts, we blend function with beauty. Solutions like dry creek beds, strategically placed rain gardens with native plants, or subtle subsurface drains can solve water problems while enhancing your landscape's aesthetics. We use natural materials and plantings that thrive in Birmingham's climate to create a solution that's both effective and attractive.

Birmingham's clay-heavy soil doesn't absorb water quickly, and our hilly terrain can concentrate runoff. Over time, soil settles or was improperly graded during construction, causing water to pool near foundations. This isn't just a nuisance; it can lead to foundation cracks, basement flooding, and mosquito issues. Proper grading is the first line of defense for your home's structural integrity.
