Commercial
Landscape Construction
Design-build commercial landscape construction for new builds, capital improvements, and full-property renovations. Scoped, scheduled, and delivered.
Professional landscape construction for Columbus, Ohio properties.
When your commercial property needs more than maintenance (a complete landscape renovation, new construction installation, or a major capital improvement), our construction division takes it from concept through punch list. We are a true design-build operation: the team that scopes and prices the project is the team that builds it. No subcontractor blame games, no scope-creep surprises, no finger-pointing when something has to be adjusted in the field.
- End-to-end project management from concept through punch list
- Design and value engineering before a shovel hits the ground
- Scalable crew sizes for projects from $25K to multi-million capital builds
- Tight coordination with general contractors and property managers
- Optional post-install maintenance programs to protect the investment
28+ years caring for Central Ohio properties.
What a typical commercial construction project covers
Site analysis & due diligence
Existing conditions documented; drainage, soils, utilities, and access factored before pricing.
Design & value engineering
Our team helps optimize the scope to hit budget targets without sacrificing the right things.
Permitting coordination
We handle landscape and hardscape permitting, sediment/erosion control, and municipal coordination.
Hardscape installation
Patios, walkways, plazas, seating areas, retaining walls, and entrance features built to last.
Plant material procurement
Sourcing from regional nurseries with size, quality, and warranty confirmed before delivery.
Irrigation & lighting
Designed and installed alongside the planting plan, not as an afterthought.
Drainage & grading
Detention basins, swales, French drains, and regrading scoped and built with stormwater plans.
Punch list & warranty walk
Formal turnover with property managers and general contractors, plus warranty documentation.
One project lead from concept to punch list
From initial concept through final punch list, we manage every aspect of your commercial landscape project. Our process includes design consultation and value engineering, detailed budgeting and scheduling, permitting coordination, material procurement, professional installation, quality inspections, and post-installation maintenance planning. You get a single project lead, not a string of handoffs between subs and account reps. When you have a question, you call one person and get an answer.
Property types we serve
Our commercial construction team has experience across a wide range of project types: multi-family residential developments, corporate office campuses, municipal parks and public spaces, school and university grounds, restaurant and hospitality venues, senior living communities, retail centers and shopping plazas, and healthcare facilities. Each property type brings its own scheduling realities and regulatory requirements. We plan around them so installs don't disrupt tenants, residents, students, or patients.
Scalable crews for any project size
Some projects need a three-person crew for two weeks; a multi-phase development needs a large team for a season. We staff both from our own crews and equipment, hold schedule milestones, and sequence work with general contractors and property managers so daily operations keep running around the install. Construction schedules are unforgiving. We plan accordingly.
Value engineering: getting the most out of every dollar
On every project we look for ways to deliver the design intent at a better cost: alternative plant species with the same visual impact, hardscape materials with better life-cycle cost, irrigation strategies that cut long-term water bills, and phasing approaches that let owners spread budget across fiscal years. Every alternate is priced, documented, and approved before it's built. Nothing gets quietly downgraded in the field.
Drainage, grading, and stormwater: solved first
We solve drainage and grading before anything else gets installed. Detention basins, French drains, swales, dry wells, and regrading work all get sequenced first so plants and hardscape land on a stable foundation. Cutting corners on stormwater is how 'finished' landscape projects develop expensive problems within the first two years. Our installs are built to look as good in year five as they did at handoff.
Plan capital projects on the Q1 calendar
Most commercial capital construction projects book consultations in Q1 for design, with installs happening through spring, summer, and into fall. Get on the calendar early. The best windows for plant installs and uninterrupted hardscape work fill quickly.
Get on the schedule- Hardscape can build almost year-round outside frozen ground
- Plant installs perform best March to June and September to October
- Multi-phase projects let you spread budget across fiscal years

Landscape Construction, answered.
Real questions from real Central Ohio customers. If yours isn't here, you have three fast ways to reach us.
01Do you handle both design and construction?
Yes, we offer full design-build services. We can also work from plans provided by your architect, landscape designer, or general contractor.
02How do you handle scheduling around tenants?
We work with property managers to phase work during off-peak hours and minimize disruption to daily operations. For retail and hospitality clients we'll work nights and weekends when needed.
03Do you offer warranties?
Yes, we stand behind our work with warranties on plant material (typically one year under proper care) and structural warranties on hardscape (multi-year, depending on the system installed).
04Will you coordinate with our general contractor?
Absolutely, we work as a subcontractor on GC-led projects regularly. We hit schedule milestones, attend OAC meetings, and stay in the GC's communication loop.
05Can you handle stormwater and drainage scope?
Yes. Detention basins, French drains, dry wells, regrading, and downspout extension work are common scope items on our commercial projects.
06Do you handle landscape lighting?
Yes, landscape lighting design and installation are a standard part of our commercial scope when it's specified or recommended.
07What about post-install maintenance?
We offer optional post-install maintenance programs so the same team that built the project protects it. Many owners bundle a 1-2 year maintenance contract at handoff.
08How do bids work?
Request a proposal with project documentation (or invite us to a walkthrough) and we'll deliver an itemized bid with line-item pricing, alternates, and clearly stated assumptions.
