Working in Delaware

Peabody Landscape Group does landscape design, construction and maintenance in Delaware, Ohio, from our yard on Dublin Road in Columbus. We have been in business since 1982. Since 2021 our crews have put more than 7,500 hours into Delaware properties: backyard design and build projects, weekly lawn care, commercial grounds maintenance and snow plowing. We design and build in-house, so the people who plan your project are the people who build it.

Before You Build in Delaware

  • The City of Delaware issues combined building and zoning permits for projects in the city. Ask the Planning and Community Development office whether your project needs one.
  • City yard waste pickup runs weekly on your trash day from mid-April through mid-December, and during January.
  • Yard waste goes out in paper bags or 32-gallon containers with handles, 50 lb or less each. Plastic bags are not accepted.

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

What We Do in Delaware

Our work in Central Ohio

Landscape Design and Backyard Renovation

Design and build is the largest part of our residential work in Delaware, Ohio. A newer house can arrive with a bare lot and a builder's minimum of shrubs, and an older one with beds that no longer fit the yard. In both cases we start by walking the property and talking through how you use it.

From there we draw a plan for planting, grade and outdoor living space, and our own crew builds it. Water gets the same attention as plants: we regrade, route downspouts away from the house and add dry wells or drain lines where the yard holds water.

  • Site visit and design plan
  • Backyard renovation
  • Front-yard and foundation planting
  • New trees and shrubs
  • Grading and yard drainage fixes
  • Dry wells and drain lines

Hardscaping, Patios and Outdoor Living

If you are looking for hardscape companies near Delaware, Ohio, we build paver and natural stone patios, walks, steps and seat walls with our own crew, and lay them at a grade that sends water away from the house. See what patios cost here.

Larger projects add a fire feature, a pergola or an outdoor kitchen, planned together with the planting around them.

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

Landscape Lighting

We design and install low-voltage lighting for paths, steps, patios, walls and trees at Delaware homes. Lighting can go in with a new patio or be added to a yard that is already finished. On a Delaware patio we light the steps and the edge first, then the trees and walls around it.

  • Path and walkway lighting
  • Step and wall lighting
  • Patio and seating-area lighting
  • Tree lighting
  • Low-voltage wiring and transformers

Delaware Property Rules

The City of Delaware issues combined building and zoning permits for projects inside the city. The city's permit page does not list which projects need one, so the Planning and Community Development office is the place to ask about a fence, deck or patio before you order materials.

Yard waste is collected weekly from mid-April through mid-December, and in January, on the same day as your trash. Paper bags or 32-gallon containers with handles go to the curb, 50 lb or less each. Bundles can be up to 4 ft long and 18 inches across, and the city does not accept plastic bags, soil, rocks or treated wood.

Working in the City of Delaware

We work inside the City of Delaware, Ohio. Our yard is on Dublin Road in Columbus, and our crews travel to Delaware from there.

Our job records here run from commercial grounds contracts to full backyard builds, and since 2021 the two largest groups have been residential installation and residential maintenance.

Neighborhoods We Work In

Delaware jobs include Nelson Farms, Springer Woods, Troy Farms, Stockdale Farms and Stratford. We also work in the Sandusky Street Historic District.

If you live in one of these areas or near it, we can start with a visit to your property.

How a Project Starts

Send the contact form or call, and the designer who will plan the work arranges a site visit with you. We look at the whole lot, ask what you want to change and talk through grade, drainage and access.

You see a written proposal before the first day of work, and permit questions are raised at the visit, not partway through the build.
