Plan Your Property Before You Plant

LBC Landscape offers one-on-one landscape consultations for homeowners in Fairhope, Alabama.

When you own property in Fairhope, the layout you choose for your landscape affects drainage, plant survival, and how much time you spend maintaining it. A landscape consultation gives you a chance to sit down with someone who understands Baldwin County soil, coastal humidity, and the plants that actually thrive here. You walk the property together, talk through what you want to use the space for, and get guidance that helps you avoid expensive replanting or erosion issues later.

LBC Landscape provides consultations that evaluate your property layout, existing conditions, and long-term goals. The session covers plant selection based on sun exposure and drainage, spacing that allows for growth, and maintenance requirements you should expect. If you are planning a full landscape project or adding features like irrigation or lighting, this consultation becomes the foundation for design and installation decisions. Local insight into sandy soils and seasonal weather patterns in Fairhope helps you make choices that support healthy growth and reduce future problems.

If you are planning upgrades or starting a new landscape project in Fairhope, schedule a consultation with LBC Landscape to review your property and goals.

What Happens During a Property Walkthrough

During your consultation in Fairhope, you meet on-site to walk the property and discuss how you use the space and what you want to change. The walkthrough includes evaluating soil drainage, identifying areas with full sun or shade, and noting where water tends to pool or run off. You talk through plant preferences, maintenance limits, and whether you plan to add hardscaping, lighting, or irrigation down the line.

After the consultation, you will have a clearer understanding of what plants are suited to your property, where layout adjustments can improve drainage or visual flow, and what maintenance tasks to expect as the landscape matures. You will also know which areas need soil amendments, where spacing should be adjusted to prevent overcrowding, and how to sequence installations if you are phasing the project over time.

The consultation does not include a finished design or installation, but it provides the guidance needed to move forward with confidence. If you decide to pursue design or installation services, the information gathered during the consultation becomes the starting point for planning and material selection.
