That makes it a good market for planting and design work: beds that have four-season structure, front entries that read properly from the road, and turf that holds up without constant rescue.
Getting here: North through Bryan, about 35 minutes.
Four-season structure matters more than summer color
Northwest Ohio gives you roughly twenty-two weeks of bloom and thirty weeks of structure. Most landscapes are designed backwards — heavy on June and empty in January. On West Unity properties we start with the winter view: evergreen mass at the corners of the house, ornamental grasses left standing through the cold months, a tree with good bark or persistent berries, and lighting on the entry. Get that right and the summer takes care of itself.
Till-plain soil and what actually grows here
The soil around West Unity is glacial till — clay with gravel and sand mixed through it. It generally drains better than the lake-plain clay to the south, but it is still clay, and clay compacts. Before we plant, beds get amended with compost worked into the top ten to twelve inches, and on marginal ground we build beds up rather than digging holes that hold water like a bucket. That single decision determines whether shrubs are thriving in year three or slowly declining.
Deer pressure on the edges of town
Properties backing to woods or open ground here take real deer browsing, and it changes the plant list. Arborvitae is candy to deer and will be stripped to the browse line. Yew is nearly as bad. What holds up: boxwood, spruce, juniper, ornamental grasses, Russian sage, catmint, coneflower, black-eyed Susan and most ferns. We plant to the pressure on your specific property rather than to a general list.
What West Unity properties call us for
These are the services this ground actually needs, ordered by what the soil and terrain in Williams 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 Fertilization & Weed ControlA season-long program built on what your soil actually tests at — not a generic five-step calendar.
- Tree & Shrub TrimmingPruned at the right time of year, to the right cut — so plants stay in scale instead of getting sheared into boxes.

Why West Unity property owners choose us
This is our home ground
West Unity 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 Williams 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.
