Creative Edge Landscape | Qualified Landscaping in Birmingham, AL

Our landscape design process starts with a thorough site analysis to identify the cause of standing water. We then create a custom plan that often includes regrading the lawn to direct water away from your home, incorporating swales or French drains, and selecting plantings that absorb excess moisture. This functional design solves the drainage issue while enhancing your property's curb appeal.

Correcting poor grading involves reshaping the soil to create a gentle slope that directs water away from your foundation and toward appropriate drainage areas. We carefully calculate the necessary slope, move and compact soil as needed, and often integrate new drainage features. This foundational work is crucial for preventing water damage and is a key part of our landscape design service.

Absolutely. Our specialty is creating landscapes that are aesthetically pleasing and highly functional. We use design elements like rain gardens, dry creek beds, and terraced planting beds to manage water in an attractive way. The result is a yard that looks intentional and beautiful, not just 'fixed,' while permanently resolving issues like standing water common in our area.
