Landscape Design and Installation in Pelham, AL That Works With Your Hardscape
Plants and beds designed around your patio, retaining wall, or outdoor kitchen — not squeezed in as an afterthought once the hardscape is already built.
Most landscaping companies in Pelham will design your beds and pick your plants, then hand the patio or retaining wall off to a completely different contractor, if they touch hardscape at all. Corona's Hardscape LLC works the other way around. We're a Pelham landscaper built on hardscape first, so when we plan your beds and lawn, they're designed to work with the patio, wall, or outdoor kitchen going in next to them, not squeezed in as an afterthought. Same crew, same site visit, one plan for the whole yard.
Why Pelham Homeowners Call Us First for Landscape Design
Plenty of companies will draw you a pretty rendering. Fewer can actually put it in the ground and make it survive an Alabama summer.
Built for Zone 7b Soil
Shelby County's heat and clay soil kill off plants that look great in a catalog but were never bred for the Deep South. We design around what actually survives a Pelham summer, not what photographs well.
Designed Around Your Hardscape
Beds and plantings placed to work with the patio, retaining wall, or outdoor kitchen we're building, not squeezed into whatever space is left over once the hardscape is finished.
Design and Install, Same Crew
No handoff between a designer and a separate install crew who never talked to each other. One team plans it, preps the soil, and puts every plant in the ground.
Local & Hands-On
10 years working Pelham yards, not a regional franchise. The person who walks your property for the quote is the one who shows up with the crew to build it.
From First Walkthrough to Plants in the Ground
We start by walking your property and talking through what you actually want. More privacy along the fence line, color near the front door, something low-maintenance around a new patio. From there we put together a planting plan that accounts for Shelby County's clay soil, our humid summers, and how much sun each part of your yard actually gets.

01
Walkthrough & PlanWe look at drainage, sun exposure, and existing hardscape, then map out beds, sod, and plant placement together.

Walkthrough & Care NotesWe walk the finished yard with you and explain watering and care for the first season.
If your plan includes a retaining wall, paver walkway, or outdoor kitchen, that's built by the same Corona's Hardscape crew, not a subcontractor we've never worked with. Most landscape design projects in Pelham run somewhere between a weekend for a few beds and one to two weeks for a full front-and-back redesign, depending on how much grading and hardscape work is involved.
Most calls we get fall into a few buckets: a front yard that looks tired next to newer builds nearby, a backyard that's just grass and needs shape before a patio goes in, or a new-construction lot in one of the newer Pelham subdivisions with bare dirt and nothing planted yet. Whatever the starting point, the plan gets built around how you actually use the yard, not a generic template dropped onto every property on the street.
What Pelham Customers Say
FAQ
It depends on the size of the area, how much grading or soil work is needed, and what you're planting. A few beds around a patio costs a lot less than a full front-and-backyard redesign. We'll walk the property and give you a real number, not a per-square-foot guess that changes once we see your yard.
Both. A lot of landscape designers hand you a plan and a list of contractors to call. We design it and put it in the ground ourselves, so what gets built actually matches the plan.
Pelham sits in USDA zone 7b to 8a, which rules out a lot of plants that look great in a catalog but can't handle our humid summers or heavy clay. We lean on natives and proven performers for this area instead of whatever's trending online.
Fall and early spring give plants the mildest weather to settle in before Alabama's summer heat hits, so those are usually the best windows. That said, we install year-round in Pelham. If summer is when you want it done, we just adjust the watering plan so everything survives the first few weeks.
