We build landscapes the long way.
A two-decade Cleveland studio. A lean, senior team. A stubborn belief that every yard deserves to be drawn, walked, and made by people who care what happens in year ten.
“The goal was never to be the biggest landscape company in Cleveland. It was to be the one you'd trust with the yard you're going to look at every day for twenty years.”
Twenty years, in moments.
Growth didn't come from a plan. It came from the work — and from clients who kept asking for more of it.
- 2003
A mower, a truck, a name on the side
Samson Mastroianni starts the company as a lawn maintenance operation in Cleveland's Eastside, quietly building a reputation one neighbor at a time.
- 2008
From maintenance to design
The work expands into garden beds, plantings, and full yard redesigns. Clients start asking for something more than a cut lawn — they want a landscape.
- 2014
Hardscape + installation
Patios, retaining walls, walkways. The company earns certifications in landscape contracting and plant sciences, adding technical depth to the creative eye.
- 2020
A lean team, a full studio
A small, senior crew takes shape — designers and builders who see every project end-to-end, with no layers between the client and the craft.

Design-led outdoor living
Two decades in, we still answer the phone ourselves. Every job is a collaboration, every site is specific, and every detail is a decision.
What we hold on to.
Craft over scale
We stay small on purpose. It's the only way to keep every detail inside a single pair of eyes.
Design first, always
A beautiful yard starts on paper. We draw before we dig, and we live with the plan before we commit to the ground.
Native to place
Cleveland soil, Cleveland weather, Cleveland architecture. Our plant palettes and material choices answer to this place, not to a catalog.
Built to last
Stone set right. Plants chosen for the decade, not the season. We'd rather do it once than come back to fix it.
Expertise you can trust.
Samson's approach pairs formal training with two decades of hands-on work. A degree in Entrepreneurship from John Carroll University. A certificate in Landscape Contracting and Plant Sciences from Cuyahoga Community College.
The result is a studio that can read a site, run a business, and set a stone — without outsourcing any of the three.

Rooted in Cleveland
Designing the yards of Cleveland's Eastside, one property at a time.
Shaker Heights. Cleveland Heights. University Heights. Beachwood. Pepper Pike. If you've got a yard in our neighborhood, we probably already know the block.
