A great New Albany landscape isn’t decorated, it’s designed. The way the bed lines read against Georgian brick. How the patio scale relates to the house. Which evergreens hold the structure in February when nothing’s blooming. These choices separate a yard that looks “nice” from one that elevates the property.
Lawn Studios Landscaping has been designing and installing landscapes for New Albany homeowners for seven-plus years, with 39 five-star Google reviews and the kind of attention to detail New Albany properties demand. From paver patios and outdoor kitchens to full estate landscape renovations, we handle design, materials, installation, and the maintenance that keeps it looking right years later.
We specify, source, and install paver systems that survive Central Ohio’s freeze-thaw cycle. Whether it’s a 200 sq ft entertaining space or a 1,200 sq ft outdoor room with multiple grade changes, we lay the base right (6″+ of compacted limestone) the first time so the surface stays flat in year ten.
Built-in grills, pergolas, fire features, retaining walls, three-season rooms. We work in materials that match your home’s architecture, natural stone, fired brick, weatherproof hardwoods, blackened steel. The goal is an outdoor space that looks like it was always there.
Beds that have a backbone. Evergreen structure (Boxwood, Yew, Holly) carries the design through winter. Layered ornamentals, Hydrangea, Spirea, Knockout/David Austin Roses for sunny New Albany lots, provide three seasons of color. We avoid the “row of mulch volcanoes with annuals stuck in” look that screams generic.
Larger-caliper trees moved correctly, watered through establishment, staked only when necessary. Specimen ornamentals (Japanese Maple, Dogwood, Magnolia) sited where they’ll hold a focal point for 20+ years.
Low-voltage path lighting, uplighting for specimen trees and architecture, transformer-fed systems that don’t fail two winters in. Designed for both safety (steps, transitions, driveways) and ambiance.
Central Ohio clay holds water. We solve the wet spots, French drains, downspout extensions, regrading, dry creek beds, before they ruin the new lawn or undermine the new patio.
Full property repositioning. Tree work, bed re-design, lawn renovation, hardscape addition, irrigation revision, lighting. Multi-phase projects with a single point of accountability.
A small entertaining patio (200–400 sq ft) on a flat lot, in standard materials, typically runs $15–$25K installed. Larger entertaining spaces (600–1,200 sq ft) with grade changes, built-in seating, or higher-end materials (porcelain pavers, natural stone) commonly run $40–$120K. We’ll give you an honest number after the property walk.
Full-property renovations on a New Albany estate typically range $75K–$300K+ depending on scope (hardscape, tree work, lighting, irrigation, planting density). We can phase work across seasons to stay within annual budgets.
