Design & Build
Landscape Design and Build in Columbus
Peabody Landscape Group is a landscape design and construction company in Columbus, Ohio. We design and build residential landscapes across Central Ohio, from a single patio to a full backyard renovation, and we have been in business since 1982. Since 2021 we have completed more than 470 residential design and build jobs.
A buildable design accounts for grade, drainage, door thresholds, utilities, soil, plant growth, and the routes people will use after the crew leaves.
We design what we later build. That changes how layouts are drawn, how materials are specified, and how planting decisions get made. If a detail will create maintenance problems, drainage problems, or construction problems, it gets solved before the crew is in the yard.
Peabody has designed and built landscapes in Central Ohio since 1982. The same company plans and installs the work and can quote maintenance afterward. Plans and project records remain available when questions move between design, field production, and ongoing service.
We design and build for homeowners in Upper Arlington, Dublin, Worthington, New Albany, Powell and across Columbus. The portfolio shows finished work. In Dublin, see our landscape design and build projects, paver patios and retaining walls.
The landscape design proposal puts the scope in writing: what will be built, in what order, and roughly how long each part takes. Where it helps, three-dimensional imaging shows the patio, walls and planting as they will look once the plants fill in. The crew that builds the property works from the final design you accepted, keeps the site clean at the end of every day, and is normally the same crew from the first day to the last, with a specialty crew where the scope calls for one. Before the work is called done, we walk it with you and finish whatever still needs finishing.

Who designs and builds landscapes in Columbus, Ohio?
Peabody Landscape Group does, in Columbus and across Central Ohio, and has since 1982. The design team and the construction crews work inside the same company, so the plan you approve is the plan that gets built.
Do you build patios and other hardscaping?
Yes. Hardscaping is a large part of our residential work: paver patios, retaining walls, fire pits, pergolas and outdoor kitchens, designed together with the planting and drainage around them.
Do you do backyard renovations?
Yes. A backyard renovation can mean rebuilding an existing yard around a new patio, walls, planting and lighting, or starting over on a bare lot. The site visit sets the scope, and the proposal puts it in writing.
Do you handle both landscape design and installation?
Yes. We design what we build, and the same company installs it. Landscape design and installation are quoted together so the drawings and the price agree.
Is Peabody a landscape contractor or a design firm?
Both. We are a landscape construction company with a design team in house, so one company answers for the plan, the build and the finished work.
What should I prepare for a landscape design consultation?
Bring photos of the property, any survey or site plan available, and notes on how you want to use the space. Point out drainage concerns, access limits, and features you want to keep. The site visit gives the design team a place to start.
What shapes the design-build scope?
Scope depends on grade, access, drainage, utilities, planting, materials, phasing, and how the space needs to work day to day. We build a detailed proposal after seeing the actual site.
Why work with a design-build firm instead of separate designers and contractors?
The design and construction teams work inside the same company. Plans, field questions, pricing, and changes can be reviewed against the same project record.
How long does a typical project take?
Design and construction timelines depend on season, scope, material availability, permitting, and weather. A focused patio moves differently than a full backyard renovation. We set the timeline with the proposal.
What happens after the project is built?
Before we call it done, we walk the finished work with you and write down anything still to be completed. Then we go through what the new plantings and lawn need in their first seasons. If you would rather we handle that care, a maintenance supervisor can meet you on site.
