Premier Landscaping & Hardscaping Services in Tennessee
Alpine Landscaping builds outdoor spaces that fit your house, your family, and the way your yard actually drains. From solid stone patios to healthy lawns, we handle the heavy digging and detailed work so you can actually enjoy being outside.
Real Craftsmanship for Your Backyard
We’ve spent the last seven years working directly with local homeowners, learning the quirks of Tennessee soil, heavy clay, and summer heat. Alpine Landscaping is family-owned and operated, which means you talk directly to the people doing the work. We balance clean stone building with healthy planting so your yard looks good, handles heavy rain, and holds up over time. Whether you need a retaining wall to reclaim a steep hillside or a patio for weekend cookouts, we show up on time and build things right the first time.
What We Build and Plant
Fourteen services, one crew. Filter by what your yard needs, or scroll the full list.
Custom Paver Patios
A solid paver patio gives you a clean, stable area for grill setups, outdoor tables, and seating. We excavate the base properly, lay dense gravel, and pack it tight so your pavers won't sink or shift after a hard winter.

Retaining Walls That Hold
Sloped yards lose valuable space and wash away during heavy downpours. We build block and natural stone retaining walls that hold back ton after ton of earth, turning unusable slopes into flat, usable lawn or garden space.

Yard Design & Master Planning
Before digging up your property, we help you map out a clear plan. We look at sun exposure, natural property lines, and existing trees to create a layout that connects your house cleanly with the landscape.
Custom Stone & Masonry Work
From stone pathways to custom pillars and borders, hardscaping gives a property permanent structure. We cut and place every piece carefully so transitions between your lawn and living spaces look natural.
Backyard Cooking Setups
An outdoor kitchen keeps you outside with guests instead of running back and forth to the indoor stove. We construct built-in counter areas, grill enclosures, and prep spaces using weather-resistant stone and concrete.
Fire Pits & Built-In Fireplaces
Cooler autumn nights are much better around an open flame. We build stone fire pits and full masonry fireplaces sized for your yard, giving you a safe, comfortable spot to sit outside late into the year.
Low-Voltage Landscape Lighting
Proper lighting keeps your paths safe at night and highlights architectural details without blinding the neighbors. We install durable fixtures along walkways, steps, and tree canopies for a soft, inviting glow.
Flagstone Patios & Walkways
Flagstone brings natural color variations and rich texture to any garden or patio. We hand-select and set each piece in sand or mortar to create a smooth surface that gets better with age.
Lawn Care & Bed Maintenance
Keeping a lawn looking clean requires more than just cutting grass. We handle soil health, seasonal mulch application, weed management, and plant trimming so your grounds stay sharp through spring and summer.
Fixing Poor Yard Drainage
Standing water ruins grass and can seep into foundation walls. We evaluate how water moves across your lot and install French drains, catch basins, or underground piping to carry heavy rainfall away safely.
Trees, Shrubs & Garden Beds
Not every plant thrives in local soil. We help you choose trees, shrubs, and perennials that suit your light conditions and soil type, giving your garden multi-season color without needing constant watering.
Automated Irrigation
Hand-watering a large lawn takes too much time and often wastes water. We install sprinkler systems programmed to target root zones directly, giving your grass the moisture it needs without wasteful runoff.
Poured Concrete Driveways & Paths
A worn-out driveway ruins your home's appearance. We pour thick, steel-reinforced concrete driveways and walkways that take the weight of heavy vehicles without cracking under daily traffic.
Solid Concrete Patios
Poured concrete provides a clean, sturdy pad for outdoor tables and lounge chairs. We offer broom finishes and clean border details that fit traditional and modern house styles while keeping maintenance low.

Questions We Get Asked Often
Where do you travel for work?
Alpine Landscaping works throughout the area, serving neighborhoods in and around Franklin and surrounding regional communities. If you aren't sure whether your property falls inside our standard service area, give us a call at +16153485817 or drop an email to alpinelandscapingfranklin@gmail.com. We can usually confirm service for your address in a few minutes.
How long does a build take?
It depends mostly on excavation size and weather. A basic fire pit or small stone walkway might take two days. A full paver patio with sitting walls and underground drainage usually takes four to seven working days. We give you a realistic schedule upfront and let you know right away if rain pushes things back.
How do you pick plants that won't die in mid-July?
Tennessee summers bring intense heat and dry spells, followed by heavy downpours. We select varieties—like native perennials, heat-tolerant shrubs, and adapted evergreens—that naturally withstand local climate swings. We also amend heavy clay soil with organic compost during planting to help roots establish quickly.
Why do we need to fix drainage before building?
If you put stone over poorly drained soil, trapped water will settle the base, freeze in winter, and crack or shift your pavers. Fixing water flow with French drains or proper grading before laying base gravel ensures your stone features remain flat and stable for decades.
Pavers, flagstone, or poured concrete: which is best?
Concrete pavers are popular because they come in many styles and won't crack like a solid slab if the ground shifts slightly. Natural flagstone gives an unmatched organic look, though installation requires careful hand-sorting. Poured concrete offers a smooth surface that works well for basic patios and wide driveways.
Will hardscaping actually help my home's resale value?
Yes. Buyers notice when a backyard is fully functional rather than an overgrown hill. Adding a clean patio space, clear walkways, and proper retaining walls creates usable living space outdoors, which makes the house feel larger and far more appealing on the market.
Can you add a fire pit to an existing patio?
In many cases, yes. We inspect your current surface to see if it can support the weight of a stone structure. If space and safety clearances allow, we build the fire feature directly onto or adjacent to your current setup so it looks like part of the original build.
How often should an irrigation system be serviced?
At minimum, twice a year. In spring, we turn the system on, check spray heads for clogs, and adjust timers for growing season. In late fall, lines must be blown out with compressed air to prevent frozen pipes from splitting during winter freeze cycles.
