Most of what we do is annual maintenance done to a consistent standard, plus planting and bed renovation.
Getting here: Southeast, in the middle of Putnam County.
Consistency is what people are buying
On a Kalida property, the value of a maintenance agreement is that it happens without you thinking about it. Beds get edged and mulched in spring before the weeds start, shrubs get pruned at the correct season for each species rather than all on one convenient day, cleanups happen when the leaves are actually down, and the drive is clear before you need it. That is a scheduling product as much as a landscaping one.
Pruning to the plant, not the calendar
Timing does more work than technique in pruning. Spring bloomers — lilac, forsythia, azalea — set their buds the previous summer, so they get pruned right after they finish flowering. Summer bloomers like panicle hydrangea, spirea and rose of Sharon bloom on new wood and get cut in late winter. Evergreens get shaped in late spring after the new flush hardens. Ornamental grasses stay standing all winter and get cut in late February. Doing everything on one visit in April is why so many landscapes never flower properly.
Ottawa River lots and drainage
Properties along the river corridor deal with the same high-water-table question as the rest of the county — a subsurface drain only works if there is somewhere lower to send water and the seasonal water table sits below the trench. We probe and shoot elevations first, and where the water table rules out a French drain we move water at the surface instead.
What Kalida 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.
- Tree & Shrub TrimmingPruned at the right time of year, to the right cut — so plants stay in scale instead of getting sheared into boxes.
- Lawn Mowing & Property MaintenanceWeekly mowing, trimming and edging on a schedule you can set your watch by — residential and commercial.
- Spring & Fall CleanupsThe two visits a year that decide how the rest of the season goes — debris out, beds reset, leaves gone.
- Landscape Design & InstallationA drawn plan before a shovel moves — so the beds, grades and plant choices still make sense in year ten.
- Snow Removal & Ice ManagementPlowing, shoveling and salting on a trigger you set — residential drives and commercial lots, all winter.

Why Kalida property owners choose us
This is our home ground
Kalida 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.
