A Grandview Garden in Full Bloom: Layers of Color and Care
This Grandview home is a perfect example of what happens when thoughtful design meets reliable maintenance. We began working with this client two years ago, and since then, the garden has become a finely tuned display of seasonal rhythm and timeless curb appeal.
A Spring Palette, Planned to Perfection
In early spring, the beds come alive with structured color—an intentional combination of tulips, daffodils, and grape hyacinths. White and pale-yellow narcissus create soft drifts that brighten the view from both the street and the interior windows. Along the foundation, layered groupings of purple hyacinths, deep red tulips, and clusters of pansies build texture and movement. The effect is polished but never overly formal.
You can see similar vibrant spring plantings we maintain in other Upper Arlington gardens, where careful layering of bulbs and annuals create continuous color throughout the season.
“This is a full-scale landscape site—everything from pruning to lawn and masonry care. The same crew has been working here for years. That consistency makes all the difference.”
— John Spayde, Principal & Designer, Landfare Ltd.
Stonework and Structure
The blooms are set against a clean architectural backdrop of stacked stone and rock-edged beds. These natural stone formations guide the eye and subtly contain the plantings, keeping the garden looking neat without feeling restricted. The lawn is bordered with crisp edging that we maintain with precision—something this client values deeply. New hedges planted along the perimeter add height and softness, creating natural transitions between the lawn, beds, and outdoor living areas.

A Relationship Built on Trust and Consistency
Our work with this client goes far beyond seasonal planting. The maintenance agreement includes crisp bed edging, regular pruning, mulch refreshes, seasonal plantings, debris removal, and hardscape cleaning to keep all surfaces clear and polished. New hedge groupings add privacy and soft layering to the property, enhancing both function and aesthetic.
What this client values most is consistency. “You show up when you say you’re going to,” they told us—not just once, but time and again. That reliability is at the heart of everything we do. Because a garden like this isn’t just about what’s planted; it’s about showing up every week to shape, guide, and refine it.
