Common Bexley Landscape Issues

Window-blocking foundation plantings

that were fine in 1945 but are massive now. Remove and redesign at appropriate scale.

Failed shade plantings

because someone tried sun-loving plants under 60-year-old maples. Replace with species that actually tolerate conditions.

Water in basements

from poor grading around older homes. Install drainage solutions that protect structures.

Dated landscape styles

that scream 1970s or 1980s. Update with contemporary design while respecting architectural character.

Neglected properties

after ownership changes. Complete renovation to bring landscapes to neighborhood standards.

Shade Gardening Is Half of Bexley Landscaping

Bexley’s street tree canopy creates conditions most plants hate. Dense shade. Dry soil under maples. Wet clay under oaks. Your sunny backyard garden dreams die here. Hostas dominate because they tolerate these conditions. But shade gardens can be more than hosta monoculture.

Shrub choices are limited but workable. Oakleaf hydrangea tolerates dry shade and provides fall color. Serviceberry works as understory tree. Witch hazel blooms in winter. Redbuds handle shade better than most small trees. We design shade gardens with realistic expectations.

Small Lot Design Requires Different Thinking

Bexley properties average 50-60 feet wide. Older sections have even tighter lots. Side yards are 8-10 feet. Backyards are 30 feet deep. You can’t design these like half-acre suburban properties. Every choice has visual impact because everything is close. We design within these constraints. Small patio spaces with functional outdoor rooms without dominating yards.

The Foundation Problem Every Third Bexley Home Has

Original plantings from the 1940s are now six feet tall and blocking first-floor windows. Yews that were 18 inches at installation are massive overgrown specimens. Junipers swallowing porches. Dying shrubs that should have been replaced twenty years ago.

Homeowners know it looks wrong. They just don’t know what replaces it. We remove what’s failing or oversized. Redesign foundations appropriate to your home’s style and scale. A Colonial Revival gets different treatment than a Tudor, symmetrical balanced plantings vs. asymmetrical cottage style.

What are Customers Say About Us

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Depends on your architecture. Colonials: boxwood, hydrangeas, spirea in symmetrical arrangements. Tudors: informal mixed shrubs with seasonal interest. Bungalows: compact evergreens and perennials. We design specifically for your home's style and scale through our landscaping services in Bexley.
Hostas, ferns, astilbe, heuchera, brunnera, hellebores, bleeding heart for perennials. Oakleaf hydrangea, serviceberry for shrubs. Success requires accepting shade reality and choosing appropriate species. We assess your specific light conditions and recommend accordingly.
Design strategies help. Diagonal paver patterns extend perceived space. Vertical plantings draw eye up. Strategic screening creates privacy without closing in. We maximize what you have.

Often yes. French drains intercept water before it reaches foundation. Grading corrections direct water away from house. Downspout extensions discharge water properly. We assess your specific situation and design solutions used in Upper Arlington as well.
