Working in Blacklick

Peabody Landscape Group does landscape design, construction and maintenance in Blacklick, Ohio, from our yard on Dublin Road in Columbus. We have been in business since 1982. We work in Blacklick on weekly residential maintenance, commercial grounds work and design and build projects such as a poolside terrace with a fire feature and lighting. We design and build in-house, so the people who plan your project are the people who build it.

Before You Build in Blacklick

  • Blacklick is not a city. Most addresses are in Jefferson Township, and Blacklick Estates is in Madison and Truro townships, so the rules depend on the parcel.
  • Outside city limits, building permits come from the Franklin County Building Department.
  • In Jefferson Township, fences fall under the township's zoning resolution.

Checked against Franklin County and township sources in October 2026. Rules change, so confirm for your address before you build.

What We Do in Blacklick

Our work in Central Ohio

Hardscaping: Poolside Terraces and Fire Features

The poolside terrace in the photo at the top of this page is one of our Blacklick projects. A round fire feature with a stone cap and lava rock sits on the paver deck, set back from the pool edge, with seating around it. See what patios cost here.

Stone piers, a bench wall and lighting tie the pool area to the house, so it works as one outdoor room after dark as well as in the day. We do hardscaping of all kinds, including paver patio installation, walls, steps and walks.

Pool decks ask more of a patio than a normal yard does: wet feet, a surface that stays cool and grippy, and drainage that sends water away from the pool and the house. We cover that in poolside landscaping, patios, planting, walls and lighting, and tell the Blacklick job in its project story.

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

Landscape Design and Planting

We do landscape design and backyard renovation in Blacklick. Planting around hardscape has to work against stone, fence and water. On the Blacklick pool project we used black river rock and ornamental grasses to edge the deck beside a stone pier and the fence line.

Planting near a pool is a short list of plants that do not drop much, hold up to heat off the stone and stay clear of the water. A good plan also covers the first year, when new plants need steady watering. See our notes on first-year care for new plantings.

  • Site visit and design plan
  • Bed edging and soil preparation
  • Ornamental grasses and perennials
  • New trees and shrubs
  • Screening along fence lines
  • Mulch and watering guidance

Landscape Lighting

We design and install landscape lighting in Blacklick: low-voltage path, step, patio and tree lighting. The Blacklick pool project includes lighting that carries the terrace into the evening.

Around water the lighting plan is about safety first, so steps, the pool edge and walkways are lit before anything decorative. The photo here shows lighting on another of our patios at dusk. For more on how a system is laid out and what it costs, see the landscape lighting cost guide.

  • Patio and seat-wall lighting
  • Tree and feature uplighting

Fire Pits and Outdoor Fireplaces

On a Blacklick patio, a round fire pit can be paired with a low seat wall, so the patio seats more people without more chairs.

The pit is built from a footing up in stone or block to match the patio, and the patio is sized from the chairs you plan to use. Our fire pits and fireplaces page shows built examples.

  • Built-in fire pits
  • Curved seat walls
  • Patio sizing for seating
  • Gas or wood-burning
  • Stone and block caps

Working in Blacklick

Which township or city a Blacklick property falls under depends on the address, so permit and zoning rules can differ from one property to the next. We check the rules for your address before work starts.

Confirm what applies to your property with the local building or zoning office before work begins.

In Blacklick we work in Paddock Reserve and Bedford Place.

Pools, Fences and Planting

A pool changes how a yard is built. The deck, the fence line, the path to the house and the beds around it all have to work together, and the planting has to stay clear of the water.

Blacklick work for us has ranged from that poolside terrace to weekly care for homes and commercial properties, so we plan around how the property is used as well as how it looks.

Why Work With Us

Peabody Landscape Group has been in business since 1982. On the Blacklick pool project the same team designed and built the terrace, the planting and the lighting. The crew that builds a Blacklick project can keep it up afterward on a weekly maintenance schedule.

How a Project Starts

Call or send the contact form, and a Blacklick inquiry goes straight to the person who will run the work. The site visit covers the whole property, including the pool area or yard you want changed, and we talk through what it will take.

Questions about grade, water and access get settled at that visit, not during the build. Before any work begins you have a plan and a written proposal. We also work in nearby Reynoldsburg and New Albany.
