See the Layout Before Anything Gets Planted

LBC Landscape creates custom landscape designs for residential properties in Fairhope, Alabama.

A custom landscape design gives you a visual plan that shows where plants go, how beds are shaped, and where hardscape elements fit before any work begins. In Fairhope, that plan also accounts for drainage patterns, sun exposure, and how coastal humidity affects plant health. A clear design prevents costly changes during installation and helps you understand what the property will look like as plants mature and seasonal growth cycles repeat.

LBC Landscape develops tailored designs that match your property layout and long-term vision. The design process includes evaluating site conditions, discussing how you use the space, and creating layouts that support functionality and curb appeal. Designs are suitable for coastal and inland properties and account for sandy soils, seasonal weather changes, and drainage concerns common in Baldwin County. The design is often paired with lighting and irrigation planning to create a coordinated approach to installation and maintenance.

If you are planning a landscape project in Fairhope and want a design that guides installation and future growth, contact LBC Landscape to schedule a design consultation.

What Goes Into a Finished Design

The design process begins with a site evaluation in Fairhope, where measurements are taken, drainage is assessed, and sun exposure is noted throughout the day. You discuss how you want to use the space, what plants or features you prefer, and what maintenance level is realistic. The design is then developed to show plant placement, bed shapes, hardscape locations, and spacing that allows for growth without overcrowding.

Once the design is complete, you will have a layout that shows where each plant goes, how water will flow across the property, and what the landscape will look like in different seasons. The design also identifies where lighting or irrigation should be placed if those systems are part of the project. You will know what materials are needed, how long installation will take, and what maintenance tasks to expect as the landscape matures.

The design does not include installation or materials, but it provides a clear guide for contractors and a reference for homeowners managing the project over time. If site conditions change or plants need adjustment, the design can be updated before installation begins.

Concerns homeowners bring up during planning

Homeowners in Fairhope often ask how long the design process takes, whether revisions are included, and how the design fits with other projects like irrigation or lighting.
