What We Do in Grandview Heights

Landscape Design and Build

We design and build backyards, patios and planting for Grandview Heights homes. The plan is about using the space well: where the patio goes, what screens the neighbors, and where the water drains.

Lots here are often compact, with a house close to the neighbors on either side. That makes screening, sight lines and how the yard feels from the kitchen window as important as the square footage. A good plan puts the patio where it is used, plants for privacy where it is needed and leaves room to walk.

We start with a walk of the property. One company draws the plan and builds it, whether it is a full backyard renovation or a few targeted changes. Our design and build process explains each step.

Hardscaping and Paver Patios

We do hardscaping in Grandview Heights, including paver patio installation, walks, steps and seat walls, built at the right grade so water runs away from the house. See what patios cost here.

On a smaller lot a patio, a fireplace and a pergola can fill most of the yard, so the layout comes first. The city also counts pools and hot tubs toward lot coverage, which is one reason we measure the lot and talk through the whole plan before we draw. Our guide to firepits versus outdoor fireplaces helps with that choice.

Landscape Lighting

Grandview Heights lighting is low-voltage path, step, patio and tree lighting.

On a close-set lot, lighting should light the yard and not the neighbor's windows. Fixtures are aimed and shielded for that, and the wiring is planned with the patio and beds so it is laid once. See the landscape lighting cost guide for how a system is built up.

Outdoor lighting

Fire Pits and Outdoor Fireplaces

A Grandview Heights back yard can carry a stone fireplace under a covered patio or pavilion, which needs a proper chimney and clearances.

We design the fireplace and the structure together, in natural stone, brick or block, wood-burning or gas. Built examples are on our fire pits and fireplaces page.

Specific Rules

Grandview Heights allows no fence in any front yard, and fences elsewhere go up to 5 ft. Within the 25-ft corner sight triangle, nothing over 42 in. is allowed, and that includes shrubs and walls, so corner lots need planting plans drawn with that in mind.

The city has more than 3,400 trees in its rights-of-way and has been a Tree City USA for 42 years. Planting in a public right-of-way needs a city permit. Most of the trees between the sidewalk and the curb are public trees, though that can vary by lot.

Permits and Lot Coverage

The city's zoning page says a fence permit comes with a boundary survey showing where the fence goes, a pool or hot tub needs a permit and counts toward lot coverage, and replacing or enlarging a driveway needs a permit.

We raise these at the first walk, so the plan fits the lot before drawings are made. Check the current rules with the city before you build.

How a Project Starts

Contact form or phone, a Grandview Heights inquiry goes to the designer who will plan the work. We set a visit on your schedule and walk the lot, front yard to back, with the fence and corner rules in mind.

Screening, grade and corner-visibility questions are settled at the walk, before drawings. Then comes a plan and a written proposal, before any work begins. Next door, we also work in Upper Arlington.
