Newly installed hillside planting bed by TJs Landscaping in Cincinnati, Ohio

Landscaping

Landscape design and planting built for Ohio yards

Landscape architecture, planting, bed renovations, living water features, boulder work and drainage solutions built for Ohio soil and seasons.

Designed for how the yard looks in ten years, not ten days.

We plant around how water moves, how the sun falls and how big things actually get. And when drainage is the real problem, we fix that first with French drains, river rock beds and regrading before anything new goes in the ground.

TJs Landscaping has been designing and installing landscaping across Greater Cincinnati since 2001, from Milford, Batavia and Loveland to Mason, Montgomery and the east side. Same family, same crews, every project.

  • Landscape architecture and installation

Before and after

A backyard transformation

Our team handled the custom landscape design and installation, bringing the surrounding landscape and outdoor living together into a space built for relaxing and entertaining. Drag the photo to compare.

  • The foundation

    A custom retaining wall levels the grade and frames the pool area.

  • The greenery

    More than 100 plants selected for texture, color and privacy.

  • The feature

    A Berlin Gardens pergola creates a shaded retreat beside the pool.

What we handle

Design, drainage and renovation under one crew

Landscape design and planting

Full landscape design for Cincinnati area homes, from front entry beds to complete backyard plans.

  • Site walk, measurements and a written plan before anything is ordered
  • Trees, shrubs, perennials and ornamental grasses chosen for Ohio winters
  • Foundation beds, privacy screening and four season color
  • Boulder placement, natural stone accents and landscape lighting

Drainage, grading and erosion control

Wet yards, washed out slopes and water against the foundation get solved before new plants go in.

  • French drains, catch basins and downspout extensions
  • Regrading and swales that move water away from the house
  • River rock beds and dry creek beds for heavy runoff
  • Slope stabilization, erosion control and new lawn establishment

Bed renovation and property refresh

Overgrown, dated landscaping gets cleared, reshaped and replanted without starting from scratch.

  • Removal of overgrown shrubs, stumps and tired plantings
  • Crisp cut edging, fresh soil and premium hardwood mulch
  • Selective replanting that keeps the healthy material you already have
  • Water features and living streams built into existing beds
