As a landscaping company based in Central Ohio, we always recommend choosing plants that thrive in our region’s unique climate, which experiences hot summers, cold winters, and varying soil conditions. Native plants and those well-adapted to these seasonal changes tend to perform best and require less maintenance. Some of our top picks include boxwoods for year-round structure, hydrangeas for beautiful summer blooms, and ornamental grasses that add texture and movement to any landscape. Perennials like daylilies, coneflowers, and black-eyed Susans are also excellent choices because they’re hardy, drought-tolerant, and attract pollinators. For trees, we often suggest red maples, dogwoods, and serviceberries, which provide vibrant seasonal color and adapt well to local soil and weather.
Using plants suited to Central Ohio not only ensures a healthy, vibrant yard but also reduces water use and the need for fertilizers or pesticides—making your landscape both beautiful and sustainable.
