Landscaping Services

Trees and shrubs planted too deep are one of the most common reasons new landscapes fail, which is why arborists recommend setting the root flare at or slightly above the surrounding grade. Kegley Landscape LLC brings that level of care to landscaping services in Navarre, OH, and neighboring Stark County communities. We plan and plant beds, trim overgrown shrubs, clean up tired gardens, add decorative rock, and shape topsoil so every element has room to thrive. Each design considers sun exposure, drainage, and how much upkeep you actually want, so the yard looks polished in its first season and keeps improving as plants mature.

A GREAT YARD IS PLANNED, NOT JUST PLANTED.

Random plantings tend to crowd each other, block windows, and turn into a pruning chore within a few years. We place every plant based on its mature size, light needs, and relationship to the house, walkways, and views. Layering heights and textures keeps beds interesting through the seasons instead of peaking for 1 week in spring. Good planning also means fewer replacements, less trimming, and a yard that simply looks cared for.

LANDSCAPING SERVICES

GIVE YOUR NAVARRE HOME THE FRAME IT DESERVES.

Landscaping is the first thing neighbors, guests, and buyers see. Well-shaped shrubs, tidy beds, and a few thoughtful focal points make even a modest house feel welcoming and well kept. We look at your home's architecture, entry, and existing trees, then build a plan that highlights the best features, softens hard corners, and creates a front yard that feels finished without looking overdone.

GARDENS THAT HANDLE OHIO SUMMERS AND WINTERS.

Northeast Ohio swings from humid summers to hard freezes, and plant choices have to handle both. We favor hardy shrubs, reliable perennials, and native options that tolerate heavy soil, wet springs, and occasional dry spells. For shady or sandy spots where grass simply will not grow, decorative rock offers a clean, low-maintenance alternative that still looks intentional and pairs naturally with the wooded settings common around Stark County.

SMALL CREW, SHARP EYE FOR DETAIL.

With only two of us on every job, nothing gets handed off to someone who has never seen your yard. That consistency shows in straight bed lines, clean cuts, and plants set at the proper depth. In 7 years of landscaping around Navarre, OH, we have learned that the small finishing touches are what clients notice most. Ready to see what your beds could look like next season?

FAQ

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.

Planning a new landscape or refreshing an old one leads to questions about plants, timing, and upkeep. These are the answers we share most during consultations with homeowners.

When is the best time to plant shrubs and perennials in Ohio?

Spring and early fall are ideal. Moderate temperatures and regular rain reduce transplant stress, and fall planting lets roots grow while tops are dormant, giving plants a strong start the following spring.

How far from the house should shrubs be planted?

Measure the shrub's mature width and plant at least half that distance from the foundation, with a little extra for airflow. That spacing prevents moisture problems, siding damage, and constant trimming as plants grow.

What plants handle heavy clay soil well?

Many hardy shrubs and native perennials tolerate clay, including dogwoods, viburnums, coneflowers, and black-eyed Susans. Improving the planting area with organic matter and grading beds to drain helps nearly any plant succeed.

Is decorative rock better than mulch?

Rock lasts for years and works well in hot, sunny, or hard-to-maintain spots. Mulch improves soil as it breaks down and suits planting beds better, so many yards benefit from using both in different areas.

How often should overgrown shrubs be trimmed?

Most shrubs look best with 1 or 2 trims a year, timed to their bloom cycle. Spring-flowering shrubs should be pruned soon after flowering, while summer bloomers are trimmed in late winter or early spring.

Can a landscape be designed for low maintenance?

Absolutely. Choosing plants that fit their space, grouping them by water needs, and using stone or mulch to suppress weeds creates a yard that stays attractive with minimal weekly effort.

What should I expect during a landscape installation?

Kegley Landscape LLC starts by preparing soil and shaping beds, then installs plants, edging, and finishing materials. Most residential projects in Navarre, OH, wrap up within a few days, depending on size and weather.

    HOW WE WORK

    FROM FIRST SKETCH TO FIRST BLOOM, HERE IS HOW.

    STEP 01

    LISTEN TO YOUR GOALS
    Every landscape starts with a conversation about how you use the yard, what you love, and what frustrates you. We note sun patterns, drainage, and existing plants worth keeping. Photos of yards you admire are always welcome.

    STEP 02

    SHAPE A PLAN
    We sketch bed locations, plant choices, and materials, then write an itemized estimate by hand. You see exactly what is included before any work begins on your property. Changes are easy to discuss before planting day.

    STEP 03

    PREPARE THE GROUND
    Old growth, weeds, and poor soil come out first. We loosen compacted areas, add topsoil where needed, and shape beds so water drains away from the house. Good preparation is what helps new plants root quickly.

    STEP 04

    INSTALL THE PLANTS
    Each plant goes in at the correct depth and spacing, with soil firmed around the roots. Larger shrubs and trees are positioned carefully to frame the home and views. Every root ball is watered in before we move on.

    STEP 05

    ADD THE FINISHING LAYER
    Clean edges, mulch, or decorative stone complete the beds. These finishing materials hold moisture, suppress weeds, and give the whole landscape a polished, intentional look. Walkways and driveways are swept clean when we finish.

    STEP 06

    SHARE CARE TIPS
    Before we leave, we walk the yard with you and explain watering, trimming, and seasonal care so your new landscape settles in and stays healthy. You always know who to call if a plant needs attention later.
