Landscape Design
Outdoor spaces designed for how you'll actually use them.
A landscape design that looks good in a rendering but ignores drainage, sun exposure, or how your family actually uses the yard ends up half-used within a year. We design around the site first — where water naturally moves, which areas get full sun versus shade through a Kentucky summer, and what you actually want out of the space, whether that's a patio for entertaining, a play area, or simply lower-maintenance beds.
Because we also handle grading and drainage in-house, landscape designs we build don't create new drainage problems — a common issue when planting beds or hardscape are added without accounting for where water needs to go afterward.
Why Choose Us?
- Designs account for drainage and grading, not just plant placement — new landscaping won't create new standing-water problems.
- Plant selections are matched to Central Kentucky's soil and climate rather than generic nursery picks.
- Hardscape elements like patios and walkways are built on properly prepared bases, not just laid over existing grade.
- We design around actual use — entertaining, kids, pets, low-maintenance — not just visual layout.
Our Landscape Design Process
Site Walk & Goals
We walk the property with you to understand sun/shade patterns, existing drainage, and how you want to use the space.
Design Plan
A layout is developed covering plantings, hardscape, and any structural elements, with materials selected for durability in Central Kentucky's climate.
Installation
Beds, hardscape, plantings, and any drainage adjustments are installed in a sequence that avoids damaging finished work.
Final Walkthrough
We review the completed space and provide basic care guidance for new plantings.
Common Questions About Landscape Design
Will new landscaping affect drainage around my house?+
It can, if beds or hardscape are added without accounting for existing water flow. We factor drainage into every design so plantings and hardscape don't redirect water toward your foundation.
Do you handle both design and installation?+
Yes — we design the layout and material selections, then install the full project ourselves rather than handing the plan off to a separate installation crew.
What plants hold up best in Central Kentucky's climate?+
We favor regionally hardy perennials and shrubs suited to the area's clay soil and humid summers, selected based on your yard's specific sun exposure and drainage during the design phase.
