Landscape Design Solutions provides residential landscape design and outdoor living services for Lewis Center homeowners. Depending on your property and goals, a project might include landscape plantings, trees, patios, walkways, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, fire pits, fireplaces or complete backyard environments. We can address an individual area or develop a comprehensive design that coordinates the major landscape and hardscape features throughout the property.

Yes. Established landscapes often change significantly over time. Plants can become overgrown, patios may no longer be large enough for the way a family entertains, and a landscape that once looked appropriate may simply feel dated.

We can assess the existing property, identify elements worth preserving and develop a new plan that improves appearance, functionality, privacy and the overall relationship between your home and outdoor spaces.

Yes. Patios, walkways, retaining walls, fire pits and fireplaces are among the hardscape elements that can be incorporated into our outdoor designs. These features serve both aesthetic and functional purposes, so their location and construction matter. We consider factors such as grade changes, traffic patterns, furniture placement, views and their relationship to the home and surrounding landscaping when developing the design.

Yes. Changes in elevation don't necessarily have to be viewed as a drawback. With thoughtful planning, slopes can often become an interesting part of the landscape through retaining walls, terraces, steps, planting areas and other grade transitions. The specific solution depends on the property, drainage and intended use of the area, but good landscape design can often turn an awkward section of the yard into an attractive and functional feature.

Yes. Outdoor kitchens and entertaining spaces can be designed around the way you actually host family and friends. We consider cooking equipment, preparation space, seating, circulation, access to the house and how the area relates to other features such as a fireplace or fire pit. The objective is to create an outdoor environment that functions naturally rather than simply placing appliances and furniture onto an oversized patio.

It begins with a conversation about your property and what you would like to accomplish. We'll discuss how you currently use the yard, what you'd like to change and the features that matter most to you. From there, the design process brings those ideas together with the practical realities of your Lewis Center property, including available space, existing conditions, architecture, grade, views and surrounding landscape.
