Most of what we do here is maintenance done properly, plus the occasional larger project when someone decides to fix the front of the house for good.
Getting here: Southeast of Ottawa toward the Allen County line.
Getting the basics right beats adding more plants
The four things that change a Columbus Grove property are a defined bed edge, correct mulch depth, shrubs pruned to a scale that fits the house, and clean edging along walks and drives. Together they cost less than a single mature tree and they are what makes a property read as maintained from the road. We frequently talk homeowners here out of a larger installation and into doing these properly first, because the result is better and it costs less.
Flat ground, deliberate drainage
There is essentially no fall through this part of Putnam County, so water has to be moved on purpose. Downspouts piped away from the foundation first — that is the highest-return work on nearly any property here. Then positive grade re-established within ten feet of the house, and shallow swales pitched to a road ditch or a documented outlet. We shoot everything with a laser level, because on ground this level a slope built by eye can easily run the wrong way.
Rural properties and long drives
Outside the village there are rural residential parcels with long drives and open exposure. Those need windbreak thinking on the planting side and drift-aware plowing on the winter side — return passes rather than a single push, and staked drive edges so crews clear accurately when the pavement is completely hidden.
What Columbus Grove properties call us for
These are the services this ground actually needs, ordered by what the soil and terrain in Putnam County demand rather than by what is easiest to sell.
- Mulching & Landscape Bed MaintenanceCrisp cut edges, correct mulch depth, and beds that stay clean instead of needing a rescue every July.
- Lawn Mowing & Property MaintenanceWeekly mowing, trimming and edging on a schedule you can set your watch by — residential and commercial.
- Drainage Solutions & Yard GradingFrench drains, swales and regrading that move water away from your foundation before it costs you a basement.
- Tree & Shrub TrimmingPruned at the right time of year, to the right cut — so plants stay in scale instead of getting sheared into boxes.
- Spring & Fall CleanupsThe two visits a year that decide how the rest of the season goes — debris out, beds reset, leaves gone.
- Snow Removal & Ice ManagementPlowing, shoveling and salting on a trigger you set — residential drives and commercial lots, all winter.

Why Columbus Grove property owners choose us
This is our home ground
Columbus Grove sits inside the counties we work every week from Hicksville. That shows up most in winter, when distance decides whose driveway gets cleared first.
We fix the water before anything else
Every dollar spent on plants or hardscape sitting on ground that stays wet gets spent twice. On Putnam County soil we diagnose drainage first — and often the honest answer is two downspouts rather than a system.
46 Google reviews, licensed and insured
Verbatim reviews from neighbours across the region, full coverage on every crew and machine, and financing available so a full plan can be built in one season.
One contractor for all four seasons
Landscaping April through November and snow and ice through the winter, from the same crews. The people who stake a drive in November are the people who mowed it in July.
