With a passion for garden design and an eye for detail, Todd Dorlon began a new chapter in his career when he founded TMD Landscape Designs in 2011. After eight years of hands-on experience with two leading Birmingham-area firms, the timing felt right to create a design practice rooted in craftsmanship, creativity, and personalized service. In recent years, the company has continued to evolve and grow alongside his wife, Kathryn, whose appreciation for design, architecture, and client relationships has helped shape the firm’s vision and success.
Today, TMD Landscape Designs offers a comprehensive approach to exterior design, encompassing everything from landscape and hardscape design to the thoughtful finishing details that bring a property to life. With an appreciation for fine craftsmanship and a desire to make each project unique, Todd enjoys designing custom garden elements such as benches, water features, shutters, gates, and window boxes. Additional services range from container and fountain selection to outdoor furnishings, fabrics, paint colors, and exterior design enhancements.
The ultimate goal is not only to create beautiful, functional outdoor spaces, but also to make the design process seamless and enjoyable. Todd personally oversees each project, serving as a liaison between clients and trades to ensure every detail is thoughtfully executed.
Because landscapes are ever-changing, Todd believes understanding a client’s lifestyle, aesthetic preferences, and long-term goals is essential to a successful design. His approach weaves together horticultural knowledge, timeless design principles, the character of the home, and the client’s personal style. For Todd, the greatest reward is seeing a garden mature over time and building lasting relationships with clients who trust him to continue shaping and refining their outdoor spaces for years to come.
