How we work
The values we were founded on, still running the job
Every project is supported by a dedicated landscape designer, a project manager and an on-site crew, all backed by our internal team. Clear communication and thoughtful planning matter just as much as craftsmanship, so you always know what to expect and who is guiding your project.
- QualityWe are steadfast in our commitment to setting the highest standards in our design, products, and services. It is our goal that when your project is complete you feel great about your commitment to work with us.
- Client focusedHelping our clients make informed decisions at every step of the process is our core belief. While we outline our typical process for our clients, it is unique for every situation. Our years of experience help move your projects forward.
- TeamworkTogether, we work as a team to ensure all of our projects are successful. You may start by having one point of contact but it is a culmination of our entire internal team, external partners, and our ability to communicate that brings about the results we strive for.
- IntegrityEvery decision we make is focused on one goal, our client's satisfaction. Every project is designed and installed to look great far into the future, and we stand by our work long after our crews leave the site.

Why GreenScapes
Since 1977 we have completed prominent residential and commercial projects for organisations such as The Ohio State University, Franklin Park Conservatory, Nationwide Realty Investors and M/I Homes, as well as distinguished private residences throughout the region.
Many of those clients stayed on for maintenance. When the team that installed a landscape is the team that keeps it, nothing gets lost in the handover.
