Cincinnati landscaping projects can be simultaneously rewarding and challenging, but nothing compares to the feeling we get when a client gets to see their final landscaping refresh. At Seiler’s Landscaping, we pride ourselves on delivering beautiful projects that not only meet but exceed our clients’ expectations. This extensive backyard makeover is a perfect example of our commitment to quality, creativity and client satisfaction.
A Client Connection
At Seiler’s Landscaping, our ultimate goal is to develop long-term relationships with our clients, giving them the best possible experience as well as a reliable partnership to count on if questions or concerns arise down the line. This is one of the many reasons why this project stands out: It exemplifies how a long-term relationship led to something truly wonderful.
As Darren Shick, one of our experienced landscape architects, recalls how a previous connection led to the reimagining of an existing landscape design.
This landscape was ready for a fresh look, but the client was initially underwhelmed by the plan offered by another landscape architect. She connected with Darren through a previous project he had worked on, and Seiler’s Landscaping was brought in to revitalize the space.
One of the most rewarding aspects of the project, Darren says, was the friendship that developed with the client. "The client relationship was just amazing... She was just great,” Darren says. “She even remembered my daughter's name."
This level of personal connection and mutual respect is something we value deeply at Seiler’s Landscaping, and strive to give our clients in return. Additionally, this particular client’s willingness to trust our vision and expertise was evident throughout the project. This freedom allowed us to explore creative solutions and deliver a landscape that was both beautiful and functional.
Transforming the Landscape
Every landscaping project comes with its unique set of challenges, and this one was no exception. "The topography, the highs and the lows of the project... everything's on a slope. Everything's kind of worked into a hillside,” he explains. Despite the difficult terrain, our team was prepared and swiftly got to work. Adding fresh greenery, hardscaping elements, a pool and other updates made the project a truly hands-on experience.
One of the standout elements of the project was the realization of the property’s natural features. “We completely removed areas of woodline or honeysuckle, turning it back to natural shade trees and native plants," Darren explains. By removing the invasive species, we were able to restore the property’s natural beauty.
"We just pushed all the woodlines back 10 to 30 feet on average to open up the backyard and reclaim the property," Darren continues. Our team was also able to add an updated hangout spot, complete with a pool and a luxury paver patio. This careful attention to the landscape’s natural features resulted in a space that feels both expansive and intimate, blending seamlessly with the surrounding environment.
The Power of a Phased Approach
Instead of being completed all at once, this project was tackled through a series of carefully planned phases. Darren highlights the benefits of this approach: "Multi-phased projects are a great way to approach landscaping.” Choosing to do projects over time not only allows for a more manageable budget but also ensures that each stage of the project is executed with precision and care.
Even after the initial phases were completed, the client’s enthusiasm for the project continued. "We have two more phases still since the last pictures were taken that we haven't installed yet," Darren says, emphasizing the ongoing nature of our relationship with the client.
Guiding First-Time Clients
For clients who may be new to landscaping, starting a project can undoubtedly feel overwhelming. Darren acknowledges this common challenge: "A lot of times, people don't know where to start. At Seiler’s, we kind of have a hand-holding process. We show them our big vision, but start with the highest priority." We are committed to guiding our clients through every step of the process, ensuring that they feel confident and excited about the transformation of their outdoor space.
