Landscape Design Built Around Your Property
Good landscaping looks inevitable — like the house was always meant to sit in it. Getting there takes planning: where the sun falls, where water runs after an Alabama downpour, how wide a bed needs to be to look right against the house, and what each plant will look like in five years rather than on delivery day.
Signature Lawns designs and installs landscaping in Calera, AL and throughout Shelby County. We handle everything from a single refreshed front bed to a whole-property plan, and because we also provide ongoing lawn care and landscaping, the design accounts for how much maintenance you actually want to take on.
- New landscape beds and bed renovations
- Shrubs, ornamental trees and seasonal color
- Mulch, pine straw and decorative stone
- Steel, stone and cut-edge bed borders

How a Landscape Project Works
1. Walk the Property
We look at sun and shade, drainage, grade, existing plants, soil and how you use the space.
2. Agree the Plan
Plant selections, bed shapes, materials and phasing, with a written quote before anything is ordered.
3. Prep & Grade
Removals, bed shaping, soil amendment and any drainage correction the site needs first.
4. Install
Plants set at correct spacing and depth, borders installed, beds finished with mulch or pine straw.
5. Establishment Guidance
Clear watering and care instructions for the first season, when most new plantings succeed or fail.
6. Ongoing Care
Optional recurring maintenance so the finished landscape keeps its shape year after year.
Landscape Renovation & Curb Appeal Upgrades
Most Central Alabama properties do not need to start over. Foundation shrubs planted twenty years ago have simply outgrown the house, bed lines have crept, mulch has broken down and a few plants have died out of an otherwise healthy row.
A renovation removes what is failing, keeps what is worth keeping, re-cuts the bed lines, corrects drainage or grade problems, and replants with the right material at the right spacing. It is usually the largest visible improvement available for the money.
Overgrowth on the plants you are keeping gets handled at the same time through tree and shrub trimming, and beds are finished so they tie into the lawn instead of fighting it.
Front-Entry Refresh
Right-sized foundation plantings, a clean bed line and fresh mulch — the highest-impact change on most homes.
Lower-Maintenance Redesign
Fewer plant varieties, tougher species, wider mulch beds and simplified shapes to cut ongoing upkeep.
New-Construction Landscaping
Full plans for builder-grade lots that arrive with bare turf and a token shrub row.
Drainage-Aware Planting
Plant choices and bed grading that work with where water actually goes on your lot.
Plants, Mulch & Hardscape Materials
We select plants that perform in Central Alabama heat, humidity and clay rather than whatever looked good at the nursery. Layered plantings — evergreen structure, flowering mid-layer, seasonal color at the front — hold their look through the whole year instead of peaking for three weeks in spring.
Beds are finished with hardwood mulch, pine straw or decorative stone depending on the look, the slope and how often you want it refreshed. Where a landscape needs structure, we can add patios, walkways, seat walls and retaining walls as part of the same project.

Commercial Landscape Design in Central Alabama
Entrances, signage beds, parking islands and building frontage all shape how a business is perceived. We design and install commercial landscaping for offices, retail centers, restaurants, churches, HOAs and multi-family communities, with durability and sight lines weighted as heavily as appearance.
Commercial installs can roll straight into a maintenance agreement through our commercial landscaping service, so the property looks the same in year three as it did at handover.

Landscape Design FAQs
How much does landscape design cost in Calera?
It depends on the size of the area, the amount of removal and grading required, and the plant and material choices. We quote every project in writing after walking the property, at no cost.
Can you redesign my existing landscaping?
Yes. Renovations are a large part of our work — removing overgrown or failing plants, reshaping beds, correcting drainage and replanting with better-suited material.
Does Signature Lawns install the landscaping too?
We do. Design and installation are handled by the same team, so nothing is lost handing a plan to a separate contractor.
What can landscape installation include?
New beds, bed renovations, shrubs, ornamental trees, perennials and seasonal color, mulch, pine straw, decorative stone, borders, edging and bed grading.
Can you help choose plants for my property?
Yes. We select for Central Alabama conditions and for your specific site — sun exposure, drainage, soil, mature size and how much maintenance you want.
Can you design a lower-maintenance landscape?
Absolutely. Simpler bed shapes, fewer varieties, tougher plants and wider mulch areas all reduce ongoing upkeep without looking bare.
Do you landscape new-construction homes?
Yes. New builds are one of our most common projects, from full front-and-back plans to phased installs as budget allows.
Do you offer hardscape design and installation?
Yes. Patios, walkways, fire-pit areas, seat walls and retaining walls can be designed and built as part of the landscape plan.
Do you provide commercial landscape design?
We do — entrances, signage beds, parking islands, frontage and common areas for offices, retail, HOAs and multi-family properties.
