Refreshed Landscaping - Cincinnati's Experienced Landscaping Services

We start with a site assessment to identify the cause, which is often compacted soil or improper grading common in our local clay-heavy soil. Solutions can include regrading the land to direct water away, installing a French drain to channel water underground, or creating a decorative dry creek bed that handles runoff. Our goal is a permanent fix that protects your lawn and foundation.

For Cincinnati's freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rains, we recommend steel or stone edging. Steel provides a crisp, permanent line that won't rot or warp, while stone offers a natural look with excellent longevity. We avoid flimsy plastic edging that can crack in our freeze-thaw cycles, ensuring your solution lasts for years.

The best repair method depends on the existing material and the extent of damage. For sunken or cracked plastic edging, we typically recommend a full replacement with a more durable material like steel or stone, which holds up better to Cincinnati's weather and lawn equipment. For loose stone or brick edging, we reset the pieces on a fresh gravel and sand base for stability. Our process always includes redefining the edge with a trenching tool for a clean, professional finish that keeps mulch in and grass out.

In Cincinnati, proper edging does more than just look neat. It creates a vital physical barrier that protects your garden beds from grass and weed invasion, reduces maintenance time, and defines the shape of your landscape. Well-installed edging also helps with water management by directing runoff and preventing soil from your beds from washing onto the lawn. For primate portrait art or any detailed planting, crisp edging provides a clean 'frame' that makes your artistic plantings and features truly stand out.
