A great lawn is the base layer. Landscape design is what turns a well-cut yard into a property that actually looks planned — layered plantings that read well from the street, clean bed edges that hold their shape, and mulch that quietly makes the whole picture pop. For over ten years, Peek Lawn Care has designed, installed, and refreshed residential landscapes across the Louisville East End — from small front-bed refreshes to full front-yard redesigns and back-yard makeovers. ## What we design and install - **Landscape bed design** — new bed layout, shaping, and edge lines that respect the house's architecture instead of fighting it. - **Plantings** — foundation shrubs, layered perennials, ornamental trees, and screening — chosen for the light and soil on your specific property. - **Mulch installation and refresh** — hardwood, dyed, or pine, installed at the right depth and cleaned up right. - **Edging** — metal edging or trenched natural edges, depending on the look you want and the maintenance you're willing to do long-term. - **Light hardscape** — stepping stones, small paver areas, and simple retaining features when a bed needs it. - **Bed refresh** — for landscapes that have gone tired: pull the overgrowth, edge, top up the mulch, replant the gaps, and bring the whole thing back. We are not a boutique design studio, and we don't pretend to be. What we do well is come look at your yard, listen to what you want it to feel like, put together a plan you actually understand, and then install it correctly with our own crew. ## How the design conversation works **1. Walk the property.** We come look at the yard — what's there, what's overgrown, what you like, what you don't. There's no charge for this. **2. Talk through what you want.** Curb appeal? Screening from a neighbor? A backyard that looks intentional when you're sitting on the patio? Low-maintenance because you don't want to keep pulling weeds? Every property has its own answer. **3. Rough plan and quote.** For simple refreshes, this is often a sketch and a line-item quote. For bigger designs, it's a scaled bed layout with plant selections. Either way, you understand what you're buying before we start. **4. Install.** Our crew does the digging, planting, edging, and mulching. We clean up before we leave. **5. Ongoing care (optional).** Most clients keep us on for mowing, seasonal cleanup, and mulch refresh so the landscape stays looking the way it did the day we finished. ## Plants that actually work in Louisville We install what does well in Louisville's clay soil and zone 6b/7a climate — not what looks best in a plant catalog. That means proven performers: boxwoods, hollies, hydrangeas, coneflowers, hostas, ornamental grasses, Japanese maples, redbuds, dogwoods. We're happy to work with more unusual selections if a client wants them, but we'll tell you up front what's likely to thrive and what's going to struggle. ## Where we work Landscape work is concentrated in the same East End area we mow — St. Matthews, Windy Hills, Crescent Hill, Indian Hills, Rolling Fields, Anchorage, Prospect, and the surrounding Louisville East End neighborhoods. ## Get started To talk through a landscape refresh or a full design, [request a free estimate](/contact-us/) or call [(502) 762-8817](tel:+15027628817). We'll come walk the yard, listen, and put together a plan. Landscape design is often the entry point for clients who then keep us on for weekly [lawn mowing](/services/lawn-mowing-trimming/), [fall leaf cleanup](/services/leaf-cleanup/), and [tree work](/services/tree-service/) — the whole property under one crew.

Frequently asked questions

Do you handle full landscape design, or just installation?

Both. Some clients come to us with a clear plan and want installation. Others need help figuring out what should go where — bed shape, plant selection, mulch color, edging style. We're happy to walk your property, listen to what you want, and put together a plan you actually understand before we start digging.

What kinds of landscape work do you do?

Landscape bed design and installation, plantings (shrubs, perennials, ornamental trees), mulch installation and refresh, bed edging (metal or trench), simple hardscape (stepping stones, small paver areas), grading and drainage work, and full front-yard or back-yard refreshes. Basically, everything from the mowed lawn to the foundation of the house.

When's the best time to redo my landscaping in Louisville?

Early spring (March–May) and early fall (September–October) are ideal for planting. Mulch and bed refreshes can happen any time from March through November. If you're planning a bigger design, start the conversation in winter or early spring so we can schedule the work into the right planting window.

Do you also maintain landscapes you install?

Yes. Once a landscape is installed, most clients keep us on for ongoing maintenance — mowing, seasonal cleanups, mulch refresh, and light pruning. That way the person who knows exactly what was planted where is the same person taking care of it.
