The Outdoor Group: Qualified Landscapers Serving Athens, AL 35613

We tackle this common local issue with a multi-step approach. First, we ensure proper soil preparation and may apply a pre-emergent herbicide barrier. During landscape construction or maintenance, we use high-quality weed barrier fabric beneath mulch and recommend a specific mulch depth that suppresses growth while retaining moisture. Our team can also design and install low-maintenance beds with native plants that naturally resist weeds, providing a lasting solution for your property.

Our service is a complete package. It starts with a custom irrigation design that factors in your Athens property's specific sun exposure, soil type, and plant needs. We then handle the full construction and installation of efficient, zone-based systems. To protect your investment, we offer ongoing repair and maintenance services, including seasonal start-ups, winterizations, and adjustments to ensure even coverage and water efficiency year-round.

In North Alabama's climate, standing water and soil pressure are major concerns. A retaining wall without adequate drainage can fail structurally. Our 18 years of local experience means we engineer every masonry project with built-in drainage systems, like gravel backfill and weep holes. This relieves hydrostatic pressure, directs water away from foundations and landscapes, and is the key to a durable, long-lasting installation that prevents erosion and water damage.
