Our Process: What to Expect When You Work With Ground Works
At Ground Works Land Design, we know that finding the right landscape design company in Ohio can feel overwhelming. Your outdoor space is a major investment and choosing a team you trust matters. That is why we take a relationship-first approach to every project, providing clear communication, full transparency, and hands-on support from start to finish. Our exceptional customer service is more than a promise, it is a core part of what makes us different. Whether you are planning a full landscape design, year-round lawn maintenance, or commercial snow and ice management, we treat every client like a partner and every project like our own.
1. You Choose Us
We are honored you found us. With many options available when choosing a landscape design company, we never take your consideration for granted. Whether you are looking for weekly lawn maintenance or a custom outdoor living space, we focus on understanding your goals and building a lasting relationship from the very beginning.
2. Initial Consultation at Your Property
We meet you on-site, whether at your home, business, or development. A Ground Works project manager, designer, or even the owner will take time to understand your needs, goals, and vision. This meeting sets the tone for the partnership and ensures both sides are aligned before design work begins.
3. Property Walkthrough and Site Evaluation
Once we connect, we move the meeting outside for a detailed walkthrough of your property. We listen carefully to your priorities while evaluating factors like grading, plant species, drainage, property lines, and existing conditions. This discovery phase gives our team everything needed to create a thoughtful, functional design.
4. Custom Landscape Design Process
Together we define a scope of work that fits your goals and stays within budget. Our in-house team of expert landscape architects will develop a tailored design using either a full-color 2D plan or a detailed 3D rendering. This allows you to visualize your project before any work begins.
5. Design Review and Project Approval
We reconvene to review your custom design and itemized proposal. Everything we discussed during our site visit is reflected in the plan, and pricing is transparent and easy to follow. Once the design is approved, we finalize the details and move into production.
6. Landscape Installation Begins
With more than a decade of experience, our crews begin work using high-quality materials and trusted vendor partners. We follow a proposed timeline, maintain open communication, and ensure your comfort throughout the installation process. Our crews arrive in uniform and treat your property with the respect it deserves.
7. Final Walkthrough and Maintenance Plan
After installation is complete, we conduct a thorough walkthrough of your finished space to ensure everything matches the plan. We provide guidance on ongoing care and maintenance, answer any questions, and share warranty information so you feel confident moving forward.
