Landscaping

Design-led landscaping that frames the house and the hardscape: grading, beds, and plantings built to look right the day it’s planted and better every year.

Overview

Built once, built right

TAB Property Enhancement designs and builds landscapes across Northeast Ohio’s most established neighborhoods, with Best of Houzz recognition eight years running. Landscaping is what ties a property together. The right grading, beds, and plantings frame the house, set off the patio and structures, and give an affluent home the curb appeal it should have. Done as an afterthought, it looks like filler. Designed in, it’s the setting everything else sits in.

We start with the bones: grading and drainage so water moves away from the house and the beds hold their shape. Then the structure of the planting, trees and anchor shrubs for year-round form, layered with perennials and seasonal color for interest that changes through the year. We choose plants that suit Northeast Ohio’s zones and your site’s sun, soil, and exposure, so the landscape fills in instead of struggling. Bed edges, mulch, and stone tie cleanly into the existing hardscape.

Every landscape starts with a design conversation and a 3D rendering, so you see the layout, the beds, and the mature shape of the planting before we put a shovel in the ground. Our crews handle the grading, beds, and installation. One team that builds the hardscape and the landscape together, so the two actually meet at the edges.

Landscaping is the layer that makes everything else look finished. The patio, pergola, lighting, and turf all read better framed by planting that was designed alongside them. We set bed and planting lines with the hardscape, run lighting conduit through the beds during the build, and grade the whole site as one plan. The result is a property that looks composed, not assembled piece by piece over the years.

What's included

The difference is in the build

  • Grading and drainage

    We set the grade so water moves away from the house and beds hold their shape, the part most planting jobs skip.

  • Layered planting

    Trees and anchor shrubs for year-round form, layered with perennials and seasonal color, chosen for your site and Ohio's zones.

  • Clean bed lines

    Crisp bed edges, mulch, and stone that tie into the patio and walkways, so the landscape and hardscape meet cleanly.

  • Designed with the build

    Planting laid out alongside the patio, pergola, and lighting, so the whole property reads as one composed design.

How it works

From first walk-through to final board

    Design consultation

    We walk the property, talk through the look you want and how you use the yard, and read the sun, soil, and drainage.

  2. 2

    3D design & rendering

    You see the landscape before we plant: layout, beds, and the mature shape of the planting, adjusted until it's right.

  3. 3

    Build

    Our crews handle grading, drainage, beds, and planting, tying the bed lines and any lighting into the existing hardscape.

  4. 4

    Final walk-through

    We review the planting and hand off care and watering guidance to get everything established through its first seasons.

Common questions

Questions homeowners ask

Will subcontractors be doing the work on my home?

Our core construction crews are in-house TAB staff: decks, structures, hardscape, all of it. We bring in licensed specialists for electrical, gas, and plumbing, the same Ohio trades we've worked with for years. Your project lead is on-site or reachable throughout, whoever is working that day.

What happens if I want to change something during the build?

Change orders are normal on custom work. When something comes up, we quote it in writing before any work proceeds, including any effect on the timeline. You approve every change before we make it, and nothing surprises you at billing.

Do you maintain the landscape after it’s planted, or is that on us?

Our work is the design and installation; ongoing weekly maintenance like mowing and pruning isn't a service we run, and we'll point you to crews who do it well if you need one. What we do give you is a landscape designed to be lower-maintenance from the start: plants suited to the site so they're not fighting to survive, clean bed lines that are easy to keep, and grading that drains. We also hand off clear care and watering guidance so everything establishes through its first seasons.

When’s the best time to plant, and will everything take?

Spring and fall are the strongest planting windows in Northeast Ohio, but we plant successfully through the growing season by matching the work to the weather and watering accordingly. The bigger factor is matching plants to your site's sun, soil, and exposure, which is most of why a landscape thrives or struggles. We choose for your conditions, plant correctly, and give you the watering schedule that gets everything through establishment. New plantings need attention that first year, and we tell you exactly what that takes.

What’s covered under your warranty?

Two layers. Our workmanship warranty covers the grading, drainage, and installation, and we offer a plant warranty on material we supply and install, provided the care and watering guidance we give you is followed. Coverage terms depend on the plant type and are spelled out in your proposal. You get the full paperwork at the final walk-through.

In their words

What clients say

    ★★★★★
    We had a landscaping project done by Tab Property Enhancement and they did an amazing job. Our yard looks like a totally different yard! They installed stone in all the beds and any hard to mow areas, installed a new bed and planted shrubs, regraded the whole back yard and planted a new lawn, removed shrubs growing close to our foundation, and put in a paver walk way from our driveway to our shed in the back yard.

    We could not be more pleased with our bathroom remodel. Trace and his crew were awesome to work with and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with their work and that they were meeting our expectations. The work was completed in the time frame promised. I would highly recommend TAB for your renovation needs.
