Comprehensive Landscape Design & Development

The foundation of a truly remarkable yard is a solid plan. Our landscape design process is collaborative and customized to your specific Waynesville property.

Your Vision & Our Expertise
We begin with a detailed, on-site consultation to understand your goals, lifestyle, and your property’s unique characteristics. We consider the lay of the land, soil quality, sunlight patterns, and existing structures to create a sustainable plan. Our designers are skilled at visualizing how natural elements, or softscape design, can be integrated with new hardscape features to maximize both beauty and function. We believe in open communication, and your input is critical throughout this phase to ensure the final design reflects your unique style and needs. We'll present you with a detailed proposal, including a project timeline, material selections, and a transparent cost breakdown, so you can feel confident in your investment. Our team also specializes in landscape installation and landscaping construction to bring every element of the plan to life. 

Tailored Softscape Solutions
Once the plan is in place, our team gets to work on the softscape elements. We carefully select plantings that not only look beautiful but also thrive in the local Ohio landscaping climate. Our experts create a vibrant mix of native and ornamental species, including seasonal color and lush new lawns, to ensure year-round interest. This focus on plant health and resilience means your landscape will mature gracefully and require less maintenance over time. Whether you need a full new lawn installation or a rejuvenation of existing turf, we provide professional services to create a healthy, dense foundation for your new landscape. We are experts in soil preparation and amendment, ensuring that every plant has the best possible start. Our meticulous attention to detail during the planting phase guarantees a lush and vibrant result. Our softscaping services include flower bed installation, tree planting, and shrub planting. We take pride in creating stunning garden beds and plant installations that provide curb appeal and natural beauty. 

Hardscaping: Building the Backbone of Your Outdoor Sanctuary

Hardscaping is what gives a landscape its structure and defines its function. Our craftsmanship in building durable, beautiful hardscape features allows us to create perfect gathering spots and elegant transitions throughout your outdoor space.

Patios & Walkways
We design and install custom patios and walkways using a variety of high-quality materials, from classic pavers to natural stone. These durable surfaces seamlessly extend your living space outdoors, creating inviting areas for relaxation and entertainment. Our expert installation techniques ensure proper drainage and stability for a long-lasting and beautiful result. We also provide patio installation and walkway construction services.

Retaining Walls
Our retaining walls are both a functional necessity for managing sloped yards and a beautiful design element that adds dimension and value to your property. A professionally built retaining wall can define a space, manage erosion, and make your landscape more usable. We offer a variety of materials and design styles, from rustic stone to modern concrete blocks, to match your home's aesthetic. Our retaining wall builders are highly skilled.

Outdoor Living Spaces & Fire Pits
Take your backyard to the next level with custom outdoor living spaces. From cozy fire pits perfect for cool evenings to full outdoor kitchens for entertaining, our hardscaping expertise ensures these spaces are built with the highest quality materials and craftsmanship, designed to withstand the test of time. We can also integrate built-in seating, landscape lighting, and other features to create a truly bespoke outdoor environment. We are experts in outdoor kitchen installation and fire pit installation.

Water Features
Incorporate the tranquil sound of water with a custom-designed fountain or a small pond. These features are a beautiful form of decorative hardscaping that adds a peaceful, relaxing element to your property. We handle everything from the initial design and excavation to the installation of pumps and filtration systems.

Ongoing Lawn Care & Maintenance Programs

Your landscape is a significant investment that requires consistent, expert care. Our comprehensive landscape maintenance programs are designed to keep every part of your yard from the grass to the hardscape and softscaping in pristine condition all year long, so you don't have to lift a finger

Lawn Mowing
Our professional lawn mowing services provide a consistent, clean cut every time, with detailed trimming and edging around all hardscaping elements to give your property a manicured finish. We use well-maintained equipment and follow best practices to promote a healthy lawn. We offer weekly and bi-weekly lawn mowing service.

Seasonal Care & Planting
We handle all your seasonal needs, from spring cleanups and fresh planting to fall leaf removal and winter preparation. This includes a thorough cleaning and inspection of your hardscape to ensure it remains in top condition through all seasons. We can also provide professional pruning, fertilization, and pest control to keep your softscaping healthy.

Plant Health & Mulching
We provide expert care for your softscaping, including regular weeding and fresh mulch replacement to protect plant health, retain moisture, and keep the space looking clean. A well-maintained softscape perfectly complements a beautiful hardscape. Our mulch replacement services not only enhance curb appeal but also improve soil health and suppress weeds.

Irrigation Maintenance
We offer full-service irrigation maintenance to ensure your system is working efficiently. This saves you water and keeps your lawn and plants well-hydrated without damaging your hardscape.
