Our flagship service

Landscape Design & Install Serving Phenix City, AL and Columbus, GA

A landscape that works starts with a plan that fits your property — the sun it gets, the way water moves across it, and how you actually want to use it. Greenz designs the plan and installs every piece of it: plantings, sod, drainage, lighting, water features, and the beds that tie it all together.

From First Sketch to Final Walkthrough

Everything a landscape install can include, handled by one crew.

Landscape Design & Install covers a lot of ground, so we've broken it into the individual services below. Some projects need most of the list — a full redesign with new beds, sod, drainage, and lighting. Others need one thing done well, like a French drain or a stump gone by the weekend. Either way, start with the section that fits, or browse all of our services.

Designs & Renderings

Before anything gets planted, you should be able to see the plan. We walk your property, talk through how you want to use it, and put together a design with renderings so you know what you're saying yes to — plant selections, bed lines, and layout — before the first shovel goes in.

Plant & Tree Installations

The right plant in the wrong spot is a slow-motion refund. We install shrubs, trees, and ornamentals matched to the conditions each part of your yard actually has — full Alabama sun, deep shade under mature oaks, or the soggy corner that drowns everything you've tried there.

Shrubs, ornamentals, and shade trees placed for their light and water needs
Proper planting depth and soil prep for heavy clay
Layouts that look full without overcrowding as plants mature

Sod Installations

Sod is the fastest way to go from bare dirt or patchy turf to a finished lawn. We prep the ground first — grading out low spots and loosening compacted clay — then lay sod tight and level so it roots in instead of drying out at the seams.

Ground prep and grading before a single roll goes down
Warm-season varieties that handle Georgia-Alabama summers
Full-yard installs or sections — front yards, backyards, and repairs

Drainage & Grading

Red clay doesn't absorb a hard summer storm — it sheds it, usually toward your foundation or the low spot that never dries. We regrade problem areas and build drainage that moves water where it should go, so the rest of your landscape investment isn't sitting in a puddle.

Regrading to move water away from foundations and structures
Fixes for standing water, washouts, and swampy low spots
Drainage planned into new landscapes, not bolted on after

French Drains

When water keeps collecting in the same place, a French drain gives it somewhere better to go. We trench, pipe, and gravel the run so water moves underground to a safe exit point — then restore the surface so you'd hardly know the drain is there.

Trenched, piped, and gravel-bedded runs sized to the water problem
Routes planned around roots, utilities, and existing beds
Surface restored with sod or bed cover after installation

Water Features

Moving water changes how a backyard feels — it softens road noise and gives the space a centerpiece. We build water features scaled to your yard and your appetite for upkeep, from simple recirculating fountains to natural stone features tied into the surrounding landscape.

Landscape Lighting

Good lighting is the difference between a landscape you enjoy until sunset and one you enjoy all evening. We install low-voltage lighting that highlights what deserves the attention — specimen trees, bed lines, walkways — without floodlighting the whole yard.

Low-voltage path, accent, and uplighting
Fixtures placed for effect at night, hidden by day
Safer walkways, steps, and entries after dark

Natural Privacy Fences

A living screen does what a wooden fence can't — it gets thicker and better-looking every year. We plant privacy screens along property lines and problem sightlines using evergreens that thrive here, spaced so they knit together into a solid green wall.

Evergreen screening for property lines, patios, and pool areas
Fast-growing varieties suited to Valley heat and clay soil
Spacing planned for full coverage as the screen matures

Mulch Bed Installations

A clean mulch bed sharpens the whole front of a house — and it's doing real work underneath, holding moisture through July and keeping weeds from taking over. We cut crisp bed edges, prep the soil, and install mulch at the right depth so it protects your plantings instead of smothering them.

Rock Bed Installations

Rock beds trade the annual mulch top-up for a finish that stays put. They're a smart pick for drip lines, slopes where mulch washes out in a storm, and homeowners who want sharp-looking beds with less yearly upkeep. We install them over proper fabric with defined edges so the rock stays where it belongs.

Ideal for drip lines, slopes, and wash-out-prone spots

Tree Removal & Stump Grinding

Sometimes the landscape plan starts with subtraction — a dead or badly placed tree, or the stump that's been squatting in the middle of your yard for years. We take trees down safely, grind stumps below grade, and leave the area ready for sod, a bed, or whatever comes next.

Common questions

Questions We Hear a Lot

Do you handle both the design and the installation?

Yes. The same local crew that draws up your landscape plan builds it — designs and renderings, plant and tree installs, sod, drainage, and the finishing beds all come from one team, so nothing gets lost between a designer and an installer.

What areas do you serve for landscape design and installation?

We're based in Phenix City, AL and work on both sides of the river — Columbus, GA, Midland, GA, Ellerslie, GA, and Cataula, GA, plus nearby communities in the Chattahoochee Valley.

When is the best time to install sod or new plantings?

Most sod and planting installs here happen spring through fall, but the right window depends on the variety and your site. We'll tell you honestly if waiting a few weeks will get you a better result.

How do I get started on a landscape project?

Call or text (706) 786-9664 or send the estimate form. We'll look at your property, talk through what you want, and map out a clear scope and next step — no pressure, no runaround.

How We Scope a Landscape Project

No two properties in the Valley start from the same place — a shaded lot in an established Phenix City, AL neighborhood needs a different plan than bare red clay behind a new build near Midland, GA.

That's why every project starts with a walkthrough, not a form quote. We look at what's growing, where water goes in a storm, and what you want the space to do — then scope the design and install around it. If the project also calls for a patio or retaining wall, clearing, or an irrigation system, we fold that into the same plan so it's built once, in the right order.

Common scoping factors

Sun, shade, and slope — what will actually thrive where.
How water moves across the property during a hard rain.
What stays, what goes — existing beds, turf, and trees.
Whether hardscaping, irrigation, or clearing belongs in the same plan.
The level of upkeep you honestly want to sign up for.
