About the owner
Twenty-one years of North Alabama yards.
Adrian started Southern Landscaping in 2005 — one truck out of Madison, mostly mowing routes through Madison and west Huntsville. The work grew into beds, then irrigation, then pavers and retaining walls when neighbors kept asking for the next thing.
The approach hasn't changed in two decades: the same crew shows up, the same owner answers the phone, the price you got is the price on the invoice. Bermuda in summer, fescue overseed in fall, pine straw mulch in spring, crape myrtle pruned the way crape myrtle is supposed to be pruned.
“You don't keep customers in the same valley for twenty years by cutting corners. You keep them by showing up the day you said you would.”
— Adrian.

North Alabama yard calendar
Twelve months in Zone 7b.
Tennessee Valley yards run on their own schedule. This is roughly what we're doing month by month for our maintenance customers in Madison, Huntsville, Athens, Decatur, and Harvest.
01
January
Zone 7bDormant clean-up
Bermuda is dormant — we tidy beds, prune deciduous trees, and tune up irrigation controllers before spring.
02
February
Zone 7bCrape myrtle pruning
Late-February is the right window to prune crape myrtle the right way — no topping, no “crape murder.” Dormant oil on shrubs.
03
March
Zone 7bPre-emergent + first mow
Pre-emergent goes down before forsythia blooms drop. Bermuda starts greening late-month — first edge & light mow.
04
April
Zone 7bPine straw + bed refresh
Spring cleanup, fresh pine straw or hardwood bark, beds reshaped. Dogwoods and azaleas hitting peak — beds get noticed.
05
May
Zone 7bMowing route in full swing
Weekly mow + edge + blow. Bermuda growing fast. Drip-line check on new plantings before summer kicks in.
06
June
Zone 7bIrrigation peak
Heat + humidity — irrigation runs nightly. Controller tuned to morning cycles. Hedge shaping on knockouts and boxwood.
07
July
Zone 7bFertility + thunderstorm cleanup
Mid-summer Bermuda fertilization. Storm cleanup runs after Tennessee Valley pop-up storms — branches off the lawn fast.
08
August
Zone 7bHold the line
Hottest stretch of the year. We back off on aggressive cuts, raise the deck, and keep the irrigation tight on Bermuda + zoysia.
09
September
Zone 7bFescue overseed window opens
Mid-September is the start of fescue overseed for shaded yards. Aerate first, then seed, then keep it moist for two weeks.
10
October
Zone 7bAeration + leaf cleanup begins
Core aeration on Bermuda lawns going dormant. Oak and dogwood leaves start dropping — first cleanups go on the route.
11
November
Zone 7bHeavy leaf cleanup
Peak leaf-fall in the Tennessee Valley. Weekly clean-ups, gutter checks if you ask, last mow on warm-season grass.
12
December
Zone 7bHardscape season
Cooler months are when paver patios, retaining walls, and French drains go in. Less mud, faster cure, easier scheduling.
None of this runs on a stopwatch. Weather in the Valley moves the calendar by a week or two every year — we adjust to what the yard is doing, not the other way around.

Where we work
From Madison, all across the Tennessee Valley.
We're based on Brass Oak in Madison and we run a tight loop — Madison, west Huntsville, Athens, Decatur, and Harvest. Most jobs are inside that triangle.
Hampton Cove, Owens Cross Roads, and Monrovia we take on request when the schedule allows. If you're past the bridge into Marshall County or out near Scottsboro, we'll be honest about whether it's the right call.

Reviews — Madison & Huntsville
Twenty-one years of repeat work.
- Direct
Adrian's crew rebuilt our retaining wall after the spring storms got under it. Three years on, it hasn't moved an inch and the front bed has never looked better.
- Direct
We had three quotes for the irrigation install. His was the only one that asked about our slope before naming a number. Told us what we needed, not what was easiest to sell.
- Direct
Hired Southern Landscaping for weekly maintenance and a paver patio. Same crew shows up. Yard hasn't looked this consistent in ten years on this street.
- Direct
We bought a place in Athens with a yard nobody had touched in two years. Adrian gave us a phased plan instead of trying to bill it all at once. Honest from the start.
- Direct
Crape myrtles got pruned right for the first time since we moved in. Bloomed harder than they have in years. They know what they're doing with Southern trees.
