Your yard holds more potential than you might see today. At Andy's Garden Center, our landscape design work turns ordinary outdoor space into a place your family gathers, relaxes, and comes back to season after season. We've spent over 28 years helping folks across the Birmingham area shape spaces that feel like home the moment you step outside.
 

Good design starts with listening. We walk your property, learn how you live, and build a plan around scale, function, and the natural beauty already growing around you. Whether you're dreaming of a quiet garden retreat or a full outdoor living space, our team brings the same care to every project.

Landscape Design Services Built Around Your Space

Every property tells a different story, so we shape each plan to fit yours. Our Landscape Design services cover the full picture, from the first sketch to the finished yard.

Custom garden and planting plans matched to Alabama sun, soil, and seasons.

Hardscape design for patios, walkways, and outdoor kitchens.

Retaining walls that manage slope while adding structure and style.

Drainage solutions to protect your home and keep your yard healthy.

Plant selection guidance from our nursery team, chosen for lasting color and easy care.

Landscape lighting design with path, accent, and uplighting fixtures.

We think about how a space works, not just how it looks. A truly beautiful yard needs solid bones underneath, which is why drainage and grading matter as much as the flowers you'll see in bloom.

Working With Birmingham AL Landscape Designers

There's a real difference between a store that sells plants and a partner that helps you plan. As experienced landscape designers serving Birmingham, Alabama, we treat your outdoor project like our own.
Our approach blends the eye of skilled designers with the hands-on knowledge of people who grow and plant every day. We understand which trees thrive here, how water moves across a Birmingham lot, and what keeps a design looking sharp for years. Many homeowners come to us after working with general contractors who missed the finer details of planting and long-term care. We fill that gap.


For larger or more technical work, we can coordinate with licensed landscape architects when a project calls for their expertise. That flexibility lets us serve both a simple front-yard refresh and a complex multi-level design with equal confidence.

Retaining Walls and Hardscape Design That Last

A hillside doesn't have to be a headache. Well-built retaining walls hold soil in place, create usable levels, and add a sense of permanence to your yard. We design them to handle both the load and the look.


Our hardscape design ties everything together. Patios, seating walls, fire features, and pathways give your outdoor space a purpose beyond the lawn. Paired with smart drainage, these features stand up to Alabama rain and stay solid through the seasons.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does landscape design cost in Birmingham, AL?

Cost depends on the size of your yard, the features you want, and the complexity of the work. Simple planting plans sit at the lower end, while full designs with retaining walls, patios, and drainage cost more. We offer a consultation and detailed plan so you know your numbers before any work begins.

Do I need a licensed landscape architect for my project?

Most home projects don't require one. Our landscape designers handle the majority of residential landscaping and commercial landscaping work. For large or technically demanding designs, we can bring licensed landscape architects into the project when it makes sense.

Can you fix drainage problems in my yard?

Yes. Drainage solutions are a core part of our design work. We assess how water moves across your property and build grading, channels, and features that protect your home and keep your yard healthy.

Do you handle both design and installation?

We do. Our team manages the full project, from the first sketch through planting and hardscaping. You won't need to juggle separate contractors for each stage.

What areas do you serve?

We work with homeowners and businesses throughout the Birmingham area and across Birmingham, Alabama. If you're nearby and want a more beautiful outdoor space, we'd love to help.
