Southern Grove Landscaping

Landscaping, Pavers and Hardscaping, Mulch and Topsoil,

About us

Why work with us? Southern Grove Landscaping was established nineteen years ago, in 1986, by a graduate from Ohio State University who studied in depth what it takes to achieve perfection in your landscape surroundings. Award-winning landscapes do not just look good for one season -- an excellent landscape should transcend the season with plants chosen for our Ohio climate and accents of stonework and design variation that command attention. That's our specialty. While everyone thinks about flowers in the spring and mowing the grass in the summer, your yard needs special attention throughout the year: during the winter delicate plants should be wrapped or transferred inside; in the spring the landscaping always needs extra special care to make sure the plants and lawn start the year off right. Summer heat means that proper watering and fertilization are important to keep plants healthy, whereas in the fall, trees and shrubs begin to go dormant, so transplantation then preven ts shock to the plant and helps to ensure healthy new growth in the spring. We are pleased to announce our nineteenth anniversary of making Columbus and surrounding areas beautiful. We're humbled by the positive response we've had from our clients and we hope to make many more beautiful landscapes for you and your families to enjoy. Give us a call and we will meet with you for a free consultation at your convenience. ASSOCIATION Better Business Bureau

Great to work with - good communication throughout the process . Quick response to my request for a quote which was competitive with others I received. Work was started when indicated. We had 2 retaining walls (the larger one 6.5 ft. tall x 43 ft) and steps replaced. The 2 person crew was on time, worked all day (weather permitting for February). Their work in integrating the steps was impressive; and we appreciated the precision in cutting the caps and ensuring the corners were mitered exactly. Looks great. We are very happy with the outcome and have some additional work we will be using them for in the future.

Got an estimate in the spring and signed a contract to re-level the hardscaping. They didn’t get us fit in until early fall but we had told them that we were in no rush. The finished product looks GREAT! They worked on more areas than the bid indicated. They were super efficient, moved a couple heavy items and left zero mess. I would definitely hire again!

We love the walkway that was installed! It is functional AND beautiful. Southern Grove Landscaping is a small operation, so we had to wait for a couple of months to begin the job. Once the job was initiated, it only took a few days to complete. When they left, only about 3 inches on either side of the walk was affected, and they finished that with soil and grass seed. They originally planned to use digging equipment to prepare the job, but later determined it was not possible to get the equipment in our small entry gate. They respectfully prepared the job by hand, without charging us extra. We could not be happier with the quality of work. The quote was similar to others, and they came out to discuss options with us before sending a quote.

Very frustrating. I could have been scheduled it with someone else and had it done within these last six weeks.
Description of Work: The company was responsive in getting someone out to give an estimate. The price was very reasonable. However, I waited two weeks: no response. I emailed, asking when they would be in the neighborhood. Again, no response. It doesn't matter how good the prices are if they never show up to do the work.

Rich came to my house to look at the wall and count the number of railroad ties that he would replace--11. He was my lowest of three quotes, chiefly because the other two weren't willing just to replace the rotted beams. So I went with this company. They worked on two separate days, and the job was finished within a week of starting. The wall looks much better now.
Description of Work: I had a retaining wall composed of railroad ties that had one particular beam rotted enough that the ground behind it had pushed it out at one end so that dirt could fall out onto the sidewalk. In addition, other beams had sections rotted away, though not failing like the one. Structurally, the wall was sound so I preferred to replace just the rotted beams rather than replace the whole wall.

We worked with Rich Cassidy of Southern Grove to design and build new patio for our home. I provided him with our ideas and as this is our first home & patio we were very pleased to receive honest feedback and ideas from him on how to make the design even better. Throughout the design and estimate process he was very prompt in his responses to questions and giving us an estimate. His son Brian led the work on building out the patio and we were very impressed by his quality of work. Our patio design included a rectangular paver patio with built-in grill area, stone bench, and cedar plank bench along with a circular area surrounded by a seating wall. He gave his ideas on design and finishing as he went and at every turn we loved his creative ideas - we were really looking for something that would be differentiated and he delivered! He did this work with NO damage to the lawn/sod around the patio - we felt they truly cared for how they did the work, taking the time to make sure it was done right and no corners were cut. In addition to the hardscaping, they did landscaping around the patio and planted a maple tree along the side of our home. I was impressed with Rich's knowledge of what types of plants would complement the patio and provide shade/privacy down the line. When the project was finished there were no surprises versus his estimate - the invoice was right in line with our expectations. We are in love with our new outdoor space and have already received many compliments from friends, family, and neighbors! We will go to Southern Grove first in the future if we have other landscaping needs!

Rich Cassidy, the owner, responded immediately to my call and was professional throughout the process. It was very hard to get a crew out to start because of all the rain we were having and that put us and other customers in a waiting list. They also had big projects going on, but eventually a crew of five was able to come out and do the work around the house. When completed, it looked wonderful. I had to wait a couple of weeks, but eventually two workers came out and completed the leveling, weeding and mulching around our fence line. They did a good job, but one patch contained a rosebud tree which was not centered in the mulch bed. Rich came out and personally corrected and mulched the outline. He did a very good job. Overall, I was very pleased with the work and the workers were all very pleasant. Rich was excellent to deal with and I would use his company again.

They are very, very good. He did extra stuff and he really does and we really like the guy. We have a patio that was approximately 15 feet wide, they do not make those kind anymore, but he did some real digging and everything we asked him to do, he did in a super good way. We were really very happy with it. Prices are reasonable too. I think he is very reasonable. He was about a $1000 less than one of the other contractors. His price was very good. He worked us in.
Description of Work: What they did was a paver driveway, so they power washed so as to get over the weeds and crap out between the pavers. A nursery applied tree hose and so during that broke our waterline that ran up to the street and we wanted that tree and repairing that line, he does the extra stuff, he really does it.

It went great and I've gotten so many compliments from neighbors, family and potential buyers. Rich and his crew are amazing. They come when they say they will and work their rear ends off till the job is done. I couldn't be more pleased with how Rich squeezed me in yet never made me feel like my yard was any less important than any other big jobs they had going. He was also wonderful when I realized I couldn't afford to do all we had originally plan and drew up a new estimate. You cannot go wrong with this company!
