Landscape Installation
Landscaping Services
A beautiful landscape starts with a thoughtful plan. We bring OSU-trained design expertise to every project — so your outdoor space looks intentional, grows well, and lasts for years.
Plant It Right. Watch It Grow.
Anyone can dig a hole and drop a plant in it. What separates a landscape that thrives from one that struggles is the knowledge behind the installation — proper depth, soil preparation, drainage, and plant selection matched to your specific site conditions.
Kristi Post holds an Associate of Applied Science in Horticulture from Ohio State University ATI. That education — combined with 20+ years of hands-on experience across Western Ohio and Eastern Indiana — means every plant we install is selected and placed with purpose.
We install trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals, and ground covers for residential and commercial properties. Whether you're starting from bare ground or refreshing an existing landscape, we'll build something that looks great the day we finish and keeps improving every year after.


What We Install
From a single specimen tree to a full property planting plan, we handle residential and commercial installation across Western Ohio and Eastern Indiana.
Shade & Ornamental Trees
From fast-growing maples and oaks to flowering crabapples and ornamental pears — we source healthy, locally-adapted specimens and plant them right the first time, with proper depth, backfill, and staking.
Evergreen & Deciduous Shrubs
Foundation plantings, privacy screens, specimen shrubs — we select varieties suited to your soil, sun exposure, and long-term vision, then install them for lasting structure and year-round interest.
Perennial & Annual Beds
Colorful, low-maintenance perennial beds with black-eyed susans, coneflowers, ornamental grasses, and native wildflowers. We design for three-season color and pollinator appeal.
Curb Appeal & Function
Creeping phlox, hostas, daylilies, and ornamental grasses fill in borders, slopes, and shaded areas where grass struggles — reducing maintenance and erosion at the same time.

How It Works
Our process keeps your project clear, organized, and handled with care at every stage.
01
Site Walk & Consultation
We visit your property, assess soil, sun, drainage, and existing conditions, and listen to your goals — whether that's curb appeal, privacy, low maintenance, or all three.
02
Plant Selection & Proposal
We recommend specific plants by name, size, and placement — with honest pricing and a clear written proposal. No surprises.
03
Installation Day
Our crew arrives on time, protects your lawn and existing beds, installs everything to spec, and leaves the site clean. We walk you through care instructions before we leave.
04
Follow-Up & Guarantee
If a plant doesn't make it through its first year under normal conditions, we replace it. We stand behind our work.

Plant Selection & Proposal
Every plant we install is backed by a one-year guarantee against failure under normal growing conditions. If it doesn't make it, we replace it — no hassle, no argument. That's our commitment to standing behind our work.
