THE PROBLEM IS REAL
Your Yard Shouldn't
Work Against You.
Most homeowners put up with these problems for years — not knowing a permanent fix is right around the corner.
STANDING WATER
Soggy yards, flooded basements, and downspouts that dump water straight at your foundation. Every rain makes it worse.
OUR FIX: French drains, catch basins, and proper yard grading that moves water away — permanently.
FAILING WALLS
Retaining walls that lean, crack, or collapse under Ohio's freeze-thaw cycles — taking your landscaping with them.
OUR FIX: Engineered walls built with the right materials and drainage behind them — lasting decades.
CRACKED CONCRETE
Old concrete that's sinking, cracking, and crumbling — a tripping hazard and an eyesore that only gets worse over time.
OUR FIX: A proper paver base installed right the first time — no more heaving, no more cracks.

HOW IT WORKS TOGETHER
One Contractor.
The Whole System.
A beautiful paver patio requires expert excavation. A lasting retaining wall requires perfect yard grading and drainage behind it. These aren’t separate jobs — they’re one connected system.
When you hire multiple contractors, each one solves their piece and leaves. We design and install the whole picture, so nothing gets missed between trades.
EXCAVATION → PAVERS
Right depth, right base, right result. A patio is only as good as what’s dug beneath it.
GRADING → DRAINAGE
Water directed away before it becomes a problem. Proper slope is the first line of defense.
DRAINAGE → WALLS
Proper backfill and drainage outlets mean your retaining wall stands for decades, not a few winters.
Local. Reliable. Built to Last.
5-STAR RATED
Top-rated on Google across Lebanon and Warren County. Reviews from real neighbors, not bots.

OWNER ON-SITE
You hire Shawn and David not a subcontractor. We show up, we do the work, we stand behind it.
MEET THE OWNERS
Not a Franchise.
Not a Fly-By-Night Contractor.
When you hire Shawn's Landscape & Design, you get Shawn and David on-site every time — not a crew you've never met. We've built our reputation job by job, neighbor by neighbor, right here in Warren County.
Every estimate. Every project. We stand behind it with our names.
MEET SHAWN & DAVID →What Homeowners Are Saying
Real neighbors. Real results. 5 stars across the board.
"Communication was awesome. He was very prompt in coming out, he did everything I asked and more. I would definitely recommend him and will use him again."
"Shawn built a retaining wall along the back of our property and it looks incredible. Solid construction, clean work site, and he finished ahead of schedule."
"We finally got the patio we always wanted. The base prep alone took longer than we expected but Shawn explained exactly why it matters — and a year later, not a single paver has shifted."
"We had standing water in our backyard for three years. After one visit and a proper French drain installation, the problem was solved. Wish we had called sooner."
"The crew was professional, cleaned up after themselves, and the yard drains perfectly now. Shawn was honest about what we needed and what we didn't. That's rare."
"We contacted Shawn in the middle of January about building a new stone mailbox structure for our home. Shawn replied the same day. He wanted our ideas on what it would look like and matched it perfectly to our house's stone front."
