Residential Lawn Care and Maintenance

We provide lawn care and maintenance for homes in Hilliard too. Sprinkler systems can be installed or serviced for Hilliard homes as well.

Each visit covers mowing, edging and trimming, and the beds get weeding and fresh mulch on a schedule. Spring and fall cleanups can be timed to the city's yard waste collection, which takes containers under 50 lb and branches under 4 ft.

For what drives the price of a weekly service, see our maintenance cost guide.

Landscape Design, Planting and Backyard Renovation

We start with a walk of the property and sort out what stays and what goes, and one company draws the plan and builds it. That covers backyard renovation as well as new work.

Hilliard has newer subdivisions and older neighborhoods, and the plan follows the lot: foundation beds sized to the house, trees and shrubs that fit the space, and a back yard laid out for how the family uses it. Mulch goes on with clean edges as part of the planting. Our landscaping cost guide shows how a project like this is priced.

Hardscaping, Patios and Outdoor Fireplaces

Our hardscaping includes paver patios, walkways, steps and seat walls, set at the right grade so water runs away from the house. See what patios cost here.

Outdoor fireplaces and fire bowls are built into the patio plan, with seating placed around them. Retaining walls make level ground on a slope. Our pages on paver patios and retaining walls show how they are built.

More Work in Hilliard

Landscape Lighting

In Hilliard we install low-voltage lighting for paths, steps, patios and trees at homes, and for walks and entries at commercial properties. Fixtures and wiring are planned with the rest of the property, so entries, walks and beds are not dug up twice.

At a Hilliard home it can go in with a new patio. At a commercial property it can be added to walks and entries already built. See what landscape lighting costs.

Pergolas, Pavilions and Outdoor Structures

A pergola over a Hilliard patio filters the sun over a dining table; a pavilion gives you a roof for dinner in the rain and can carry a fireplace or a kitchen.

We design the structure with the patio under it. See our pergolas and pavilions page.

Hilliard Permits, Trees and Yard Waste

Fences, patios, decks and gazebos in Hilliard need city permits. Zoning review usually takes about two weeks, and the Board of Zoning Appeals rules on variances for deck and fence setbacks.

Trees between the street and the sidewalk belong to the city, and the city handles only those. Homeowners handle the trees in their own yards. Yard waste containers must be under 50 lb and branches under 4 ft.

Why Hilliard Property Owners Call Us Back

Homes and Commercial Properties Side by Side
