From Grassroots to Greatness
From Garden Hose to Growth: A Story Rooted in Grit
A journey started with a garden hose and grit — now a trusted name in landscaping and outdoor restoration.
Started by Caroline and her husband James in a backyard with nothing but a hose, a dream, and the will to work — Grime Time was built on sweat, skill, and Alabama soil.
What began as small weekend jobs for neighbors has grown into a full-scale landscaping and pressure washing company trusted by families across the region .Over 15 years later, Caroline still keeps a hand in the day-to-day — from checking on job quality to training the next generation of crew members.
GrimeTime’s heart is family. That’s why we treat every yard like it’s our own. Built on integrity, care, and good old-fashioned hard work, we’re proud to serve homeowners who want quality without compromise.

Your Dream Landscape in Just Three Simple Steps
From vision to reality, we make transforming your outdoor space an effortless journey.
Step 1
Consultation & Site Evaluation
Before we touch a hose or rake a leaf, we start with a walk-through.
We assess your property, understand your goals, and identify the high-impact areas — whether it’s removing years of grime from your driveway, leveling out messy beds, or prepping for a total outdoor reset.
You’ll get a no-pressure quote, smart service recommendations, and a plan built around your budget and timeline.
Step 2
Design, Prep & Approval
Once we know what matters to you, we map out a tailored plan.
That might include pressure washing flatwork, clearing out old growth, laying down pine straw or mulch, or adding stone borders to make everything pop.
Before we begin, you’ll see exactly what’s getting done and approve it — no surprises, no guesswork.
Step 3
Execution & Reveal
Our team shows up ready to work. We stick to the plan, respect your property, and get it done fast — without cutting corners.
Whether we’re reviving your driveway, detailing your beds, or refreshing your lawn, the results speak for themselves.
You can come home to a space that feels fresh, polished, and worth showing off.
