The Peters Professional Landscaping team can turn your back yard into a hidden paradise hideaway
By Patricia Nugent
There’s nothing quite as hopeful as the annual return to green, witnessing our lush lawns, plants and trees coming back to life. In the spirit of renewal, now is the perfect time to take a peek out your back door again and take stock of what you see.
Do you have a vision of how to improve it and make this summer your yard’s best ever? Put your hands in the trusted professionals at Peters Professional Landscaping, a full-service lawn care and landscape design company that’s been passionately serving Northeast Ohio since 1992.
“We’re ready for the season,” says founder Chris Peters. “Our clients seem to be in the mode of investing in the homes they plan to stay in for both the short and the long term. Outdoor living is reaching a peak, with homeowners choosing to celebrate and recreate on their own terms in custom-designed spaces. We’ve already booked jobs for large-scale patios and outdoor kitchens, as well as totally refurbing landscape and setting up mulch appointments and maintenance plans.”
Keeping Greenspace Green
Chris reports that demand for maintenance plans has become one of the fastest growing parts of his business the past year or two.
“The younger demographic of people becoming homeowners value their leisure time more than ever,” he says. “They would rather spend time with their kids, going to sports events, which are now pretty much year-round, than they would spending hours mowing their lawns or trimming their hedges.”
To make these plans more affordable to clients, Peters Professional Landscaping can spread out the cost over eight to 12 monthly payments.
“No worries about sticker shock on pricier months like when it’s time to mulch,” he adds.
Speaking of mulch, the time is now to get on their schedule, as they start to get booked up as soon as that first 70-degree-and-sunny-day hits.
“Though there’s not a set time to lay your mulch, most of our customers want to have it done in April or May,” says Chris. “This year, we’ve invested in new equipment that lets our guys blow out the mulch in less time and with more precision for an even and perfect look.”
More than mere esthetics, mulch application is an easy way to take great care of your landscaping.
“Our high-end material slow-releases nutrients, beneficial bacteria and micro-organisms that enrich the soil and retain moisture for the optimal growing conditions for plants, flowers, shrubs and trees,” he says. “Mulch also acts as a deterrent to weeds and provides a pristine backdrop to your yard for a well-manicured look.”
Whether weekly maintenance or mulch, in addition to homes and businesses, Chris says they do a lot of work for local HOAs as well, making their entrances and common grounds pristine and inviting.
Putting a Roof Over it
Peters Professional Landscaping is a one-stop shop for creating your dream space. And those dreams have gotten much bigger over the years. They build patios, pergolas, pavilions, outdoor kitchens, grills and bars; fire features and water features; outdoor lighting and heating; as well as create landscaping designed to best complement the structures.
“The spaces we craft are really an extension of the indoor living space,” he says. “We’re building a lot of covered pavilions in metal and beautiful hardwoods, such as redwoods and cedar, too, with loads of room for customization. Heating elements extend the season into early spring and late fall, and large televisions or projectors with screens make your home ‘the place’ to watch the big games. Maybe even a winning Browns season or Guardians trip to the World Series.”
To add privacy and enduring beauty to your yard, the creative designers at Peters Professional Landscaping work with people to plan landscaping that adds low-maintenance color and interest spring, summer and fall. Chris is proud to report that 95% of the plant materials they offer are locally grown in Ohio.
What Customers are Saying
Chris Peters says over the past 31 years, almost all his business has been from word of mouth. His company has served generations of the same families and friends. Here’s what a few of them are saying in their five-star reviews.
“Peters Professional Landscaping planted some arborvitaes, laid down some river rock and also placed mulch in our beds throughout the yard. The crew was very polite, conscientious and hard working. We are very pleased with the outcome! The price was reasonable as well,” says Laurie Klag.
Nadine Foster hired Peters Professional Landscaping to install a beautiful new patio. “Thanks for a job well done. The whole crew was wonderful. Even our neighbors said how nice they were and what a great cleanup job they did at the end of each day. If we need work done again, we will be calling you.”
