Landscaping
Landscape design and planting built for Ohio yards
Designed for how the yard looks in ten years, not ten days.
We plant around how water moves, how the sun falls and how big things actually get. And when drainage is the real problem, we fix that first with French drains, river rock beds and regrading before anything new goes in the ground.
TJs Landscaping has been designing and installing landscaping across Greater Cincinnati since 2001, from Milford, Batavia and Loveland to Mason, Montgomery and the east side. Same family, same crews, every project.

- Planting beds, trees, shrubs and perennials

The feature
A Berlin Gardens pergola creates a shaded retreat beside the pool.
From a Google review
"The crew showed up on time, worked tirelessly, and took care of every single detail. They hauled away all the debris, neatly mulched the planting beds, and prepped and seeded the remaining areas with grass. Professional, efficient, and fair pricing."
From Google reviews
Yards our clients love again
"They connected my sump pump to underground PVC so the drainage issues were resolved. They also safely removed a large dying tree, planted a replacement, and restacked my rock wall. It is level and beautiful now."
"Exceeded our expectations with a 25 ft plus natural rock wall, 10 mature evergreens and 3 mature trees for instant shade and coverage. Their expertise also solved a drainage issue between our lot and the neighbors."
"Storms stopped them from coming the first day, so they sent an additional crew to get it done on time. It looked great! I will definitely use them again."
