Bexley, Ohio

Working in Bexley

Peabody Landscape Group does landscape design, construction and maintenance for Bexley, Ohio homes, from our yard on Dublin Road in Columbus. We have been in business since 1982. Our own team designs and builds, and we plan projects around the city's Architectural Review Board process, which covers landscaping, fences, walls and patios.

Before You Build in Bexley

  • Bexley's Architectural Review Board reviews exterior changes, including landscaping, fences, walls and patios, and applications are due four weeks before its meeting.
  • Bexley runs its own backflow program: irrigation devices are tested every year by a plumber registered with the city.
  • Bexley's mulch ordinance asks for about 2 in. of bare soil at the trunk and no more than 3 in. of mulch depth.

Checked against city sources in October 2026. Rules change, so confirm with the city before you build.

What We Do in Bexley

Our work in Central Ohio

Landscape Design and Renovation

We have designed and built landscapes for Bexley homes. The plan starts from the house, the existing grade and the trees already on the property.

The walk of a Bexley property sorts out which mature trees and plants stay and what is worth changing. One company draws the plan and builds it, whether it is a full backyard renovation or a few targeted changes.

  • Site visit and design plan
  • Front-yard and foundation replanting
  • Backyard layout for patios and lawn
  • Keeping mature trees and good plants
  • Tree and shrub pruning and trimming

Hardscaping: Patios and Walkways

We do hardscaping and paver patio installation in Bexley. Patios, walks and steps are built at the right grade so water runs away from the house. In Bexley these are exterior changes, so we plan the drawings and materials with the city's review in mind. See what patios cost here.

  • Paver and natural stone patios
  • Walkways and steps
  • Seat walls
  • Fire pits, fireplaces and outdoor kitchens
  • Retaining walls
  • Paver driveways
  • Stone, rock and gravel beds

Landscape Lighting

Lighting in Bexley is low-voltage path, step, patio and tree lighting. Yard lighting needs a city permit here, so we plan for that with the design. Under Bexley's older trees, uplights can bring out the canopy and path lights keep the walk to the door clear.

  • Path and step lighting
  • Patio and seat-wall lighting
  • Tree and feature uplighting
  • Lighting design and installation

Fire Pits and Outdoor Fireplaces

Where a Bexley patio sits close to the neighbors, a brick fireplace at its edge gives the space a back wall and screens the view.

We build wood-burning and gas fire features in brick, stone or block, and list any gas line or permit work in the proposal. Photos and options are on our fire pits and fireplaces page.

  • Brick and stone fireplaces
  • Wood-burning and gas fire pits
  • Chimneys and hearths
  • Seat walls
  • Gas line coordination

Commercial maintenance

Working Within Bexley's Review Process

Bexley's Architectural Review Board reviews exterior changes to residential and commercial property, including landscaping, fences, walls and patios. It meets on the second Thursday of the month at 6 p.m., and applications are due four weeks ahead.

Fences, patios, driveways, decks, pergolas, sidewalks and yard lighting also need city permits. We plan for that lead time before we promise a start date.

Trees, Mulch and Irrigation

Bexley manages more than 14,000 trees in its right-of-way and parks, and has an ordinance on mulch depth: about 2 in. of bare soil at the trunk and no more than 3 in. of mulch.

If your yard has an irrigation system, the city runs its own backflow program with annual testing by a plumber registered with the city.

Neighborhoods We Work In

Our Bexley work covers North Bexley and Central Bexley.

Tell us which part of the city your home is in when you call, and we will plan the visit around it.

How a Project Starts

Use the contact form or call, and the designer who will plan the work calls you back. We set a visit on your schedule and look at the property against what the Architectural Review Board will want to see.

Questions about grade and approvals get raised at the walk, before drawings are final. A plan and a written proposal come before any work begins.
