Landscaper in Perrysburg, OH

The same things drive it here as anywhere in Ohio: access for a machine, how deep the hardscape base has to go, whether drainage has to be solved first, plant size at installation, and how much has to be removed before the new work starts. On Wood County ground the base depth and the drainage answer are usually what separate two quotes. We give an itemised written number after seeing the property, and the visit is free.

Hardscape and drainage want dry, workable ground — roughly late March through early December here. Planting is strongest in early fall, September through mid-October, when roots get six to eight weeks in warm soil before dormancy. Lawn seeding is best mid-August through late September. We schedule each part of a project for its own window rather than doing everything at once.

Plan on roughly seven feet of clear space from the outer edge of the pit in every direction people will sit, plus a walking path behind the chairs. For a typical round fire pit centered in a space, that means an area around eighteen to twenty feet across. Undersized fire pit patios are the most common regret we hear about.

Sleeve for it during the patio build even if you install the burner later. A sleeve and a conduit run cost very little while the base is open. Retrofitting means cutting into finished pavers, re-compacting, and re-sanding a section that will never quite match.

Almost certainly two inches of topsoil over subsoil that heavy equipment compacted during construction. Roots hit that layer and stop, so the lawn has no drought reserve and never fills in. It needs mechanical decompaction, organic matter incorporated, and overseeding with a deeper-rooting blend — not more fertilizer.
