What We Do—Landscaping With a Purpose
We don’t just move dirt. We fix drainage, reshape land, and install low-maintenance features that make your property easier to manage. If you want the front of your home to look sharp—or the back of your property cleaned out and ready to use—we’re the team to call.
Seasonal Care—Plan Ahead for Success
Landscaping isn’t just a one-time deal. Every season needs a different kind of care. In spring, focus on cleaning up debris and prepping beds for new growth. Summer calls for regular watering and checking your lighting systems. Fall is the best time to prune and prepare plants for colder weather. Winter might slow things down, but it’s perfect for planning your next project or fixing drainage issues before spring hits. Staying ahead means your yard stays healthy, looks great, and saves you time and money in the long run.
Landscape Lighting—Light It Right, Keep It Simple
You don’t need a fancy system. You just need it to work. We install practical, low-voltage lighting to highlight walkways, beds, and patios. The goal? Safe paths and added curb appeal—without blinding your guests or wasting energy.
Focused Coverage
We aim for wide, even lighting with fewer hot spots. Clean look, no glare.
Weatherproof Setups
Fixtures are tough, grounded, and built to handle Alabama weather without constant repairs.
Landscape Lighting—Light It Right, Keep It Simple
You don’t need a complicated setup to get good lighting. You just need the right layout and solid materials. At CRAGS Property Preservation, LLC, we focus on low-voltage systems that give reliable coverage with minimal upkeep. Whether you want to highlight a walkway, edge a flower bed, or make a patio safer to use at night, we’ll install lighting that looks clean and works every time you flip the switch.
Placement Matters
We don’t just stick lights in the ground—we place them where they’ll work best. We factor in the slope, the distance, and where you need visibility most.
Less Is More
Too many lights can look messy or cause glare. We keep the setup tight and focused so your yard looks natural, not overdone.
Low Maintenance, Long-Lasting
We use sturdy, weatherproof fixtures designed for Alabama’s heat and storms. Once they’re in, you won’t need to mess with them every season.
Energy-Saving by Design
LEDs keep your electric bill low and your lights on longer. It’s a simple choice that pays off month after month.
Bobcat Work—When You Need Muscle
Sometimes a rake won’t cut it. When your property needs serious clearing, reshaping, or grading, we bring in the Bobcat. Our crew handles the equipment with precision, not chaos.
Leveling and Grading
We prep areas for patios, lawns, or drainage. No uneven surfaces. No puddles.
Cleanup and Hauling
Brush piles, stumps, and debris—if it’s in the way, we move it out.
FAQs—Landscaping Questions We Hear a Lot
Do you install sod or just prep the ground?
We can do both. If you need sod laid over a graded space, we’ll get it done cleanly and evenly.
Can you remove tree roots or stumps?
We can clear small to mid-sized stumps with our Bobcat, but we don’t offer full tree removal.
Do you use weed barrier fabric?
Only when it makes sense. We’ll recommend it based on the plantings and mulch type.
Do I need to be home during the work?
Not always. As long as we’ve walked the property with you beforehand, we can complete most work independently.
How do you charge—by the job or the hour?
Most landscaping jobs are quoted per project. Bobcat or cleanup work may be hourly depending on the scope.
Pro Tips—Keep Your Yard in Shape All Year
1. Don’t over-mulch—2–3 inches is plenty.
2. Water early, not late—less fungus, more absorption.
3. Trim back plants in winter, not spring.
4. Rake leaves before they pack down—don’t let them kill your grass.
5. Spot-check lighting every season—bulbs burn out slowly, not all at once.
