We design, install, and manage landscapes that are in tune with the way nature functions.
As a full-service ecological landscaping company, we offer landscape consultation, design, and installation as well as organic yard maintenance and retail native plants—all with an emphasis on enhancing people’s outdoor lives while supporting ecosystems.
Ecological landscaping works with natural systems to support environmental and human health. We blend horticultural and ecological principles to solve your landscaping challenges, build healthy soil life, choose native plants that are well-adapted to your yard’s microclimates, and establish beneficial connections between elements in your yard to create less work and more enjoyment.
“Our Land Organics’ focus on low-maintenance landscaping with native plants and a deep connection to nature is what first attracted us … [They] expertly blended all the elements of our wish list: color, variety, and overall attractiveness to pollinators and local wildlife.
”
Much like a healthy ecosystem, our innovative landscape designs meet a variety of needs all at once—from improving the flow and function of your yard to celebrating the ecological value of native plants; creating critical habitat for pollinators and beneficial wildlife; addressing common landscaping challenges (such as managing stormwater, enhancing privacy, or reducing maintenance); and curating relaxing outdoor living spaces.
During our thorough consultation, design, and installation process, we meet with you on-site to assess your landscape and understand your goals; collaborate with you to create a beautiful and functional design featuring native plants and built elements, such as hardscaping or raised garden beds; and carefully install your new ecological landscape.

your landscaping needs.
Drainage Solutions
Water is a gift in the right place and disastrous in the wrong one. Well-managed water can prevent erosion and damage to your property, limit mosquito populations, and lower your watering bill. Every drainage challenge presents an opportunity for a beneficial solution.
Native Plant Landscaping
Native plants are adapted to the varied growing conditions present in the Cincinnati region. With proper site analysis, we can utilize thousands of years of evolution to our benefit. The result? Plants that will thrive—and look great—while providing habitat and nutrients for beneficial pollinators and wildlife and creating a lower maintenance landscape.
Honeysuckle Removal
Invasive honeysuckle is rampant in the Cincinnati region. Our dedicated honeysuckle removal and replacement packages help you remove these messy invaders and replace them with beautiful native plantings that restore ecological resilience and beauty.
Edible Landscaping
Edible landscaping allows you to meet human and ecological needs simultaneously. Everything from vegetables to fruit trees can be artfully incorporated into your yard’s landscape. We help clients create beautiful, productive vegetable gardens, raised beds, and/or perennial food systems that utilize fruit and nut trees to leave a legacy of healthy food for generations to come. We incorporate native plants to draw beneficial pollinators to the vegetable gardens.
Low-Maintenance Lawns / No-Mow Lawns
Imagine not having to mow portions of your yard. Not only will you save time with a low-maintenance landscape, but you’ll also reduce fuel consumption and water use. There are many low-maintenance landscape options to suit different goals and preferences, including prairie gardens, pollinator gardens, low-mow/no mow seed mixes, and/or an outdoor living space.
Wildlife & Pollinator Habitat
Pollinator gardens are designed to attract friendly pollinators—such as honeybees, hummingbirds, and butterflies—to your yard. Not only will this benefit your plants and maintain a thriving landscape, but you will also restore critical habitat for these important species.
Outdoor Living
Outdoor living spaces create opportunities for relaxation, rejuvenation, and a deep connection with nature. We help you create an outdoor sanctuary through beautiful landscaping, functional hardscaping, nature playscapes, and other innovative designs.
Enhanced Privacy
Strategic plantings and thoughtfully placed built elements can provide you with the privacy many of us crave from our yards. A well-designed, private space offers opportunities for meditation, contemplation, quality family time, and connection with nature.
Nature Playscapes
Nature playscapes encourage kids (and kids at heart) to have fun, connect with nature, and build confidence through outdoor play. Research finds that kids who spend time outside enjoy lifelong benefits to their physical, mental, and academic health. Playing in nature offers organic opportunities for people of all ages to engage in critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and STEM learning.
