Full Landscape Tear-Out and Reinstall in Union KY

This one was a full start-over. The Ruesch family wanted a yard that actually matched the quality of their home, so we pulled everything out and built it back from scratch. New plant material, new beds, new edging - the works. Front, side, and back.

Up front, we set Canyon Gray natural stone edging on a concrete base to lock everything in place. That's not just a cosmetic choice - it keeps the bed lines from shifting over time and gives the whole front yard a finished, intentional look. We packed the beds with fresh shrubs and perennials, added a feature tree in the main island bed, and laid down dark mulch throughout. The contrast between the deep mulch, the gray stone, and the dark brick on this house is sharp.

Around the side, we installed a new bed anchored by a Japanese maple and filled in with globe arborvitae and perennials just getting started. The curved bed lines follow the driveway naturally, which keeps it from feeling forced. Out back, we went a different direction - river rock instead of mulch, edged tight along the foundation wall under the deck. It's low maintenance, handles drainage well, and looks clean up against the stone façade.

The yard-facing beds in the front lawn got the same treatment - circular mulch rings with Canyon Gray stone edging around the yard trees. It pulls the whole property together and gives the lawn a purposeful, structured feel rather than just grass with a few trees dropped in.

Jobs like this take real coordination - tearing out old material, grading beds, sourcing the right plants, and making sure every edge line is where it needs to be before a single scoop of mulch goes down. We're glad the Ruesch family trusted us with it, and the finished result speaks for itself.
