Hiram sits just up the road from our Mantua yard. Design and build only: patios, walls, stone, plantings and outdoor living, drawn in 3D and built by Marcus and his crew out of Mantua.
Hiram is one of the closest towns to our yard, and short drives keep small projects worth doing well. Stone steps, a rebuilt walk, beds brought back around an older house, none of it needs a metro budget out here, and every job still gets the drawing-first process the big ones get. Call (330) 931-2633 and describe the yard, and the range you get will be based on it.
Our work around Hiram
Hiram has beautiful old houses and old school architecture, and I would love the chance to work on more of those properties. It is one of the closest towns to our yard, so getting equipment and stone out here is simple.
Common projects for us here: stone work around older homes, plantings, walkways, drainage. And on every one of them the lawn repair is warrantied for six months, because our machines made the mess and it is ours to fix.
Getting to Hiram from our yard
Hiram sits closer to the yard than any town on the list except Mantua itself. SR-700 and SR-305 meet at the college corner. Hiram village and Hiram Township both sit minutes from the yard, with Garrettsville just down SR-82. The college sits at the SR-700 and SR-305 corner, and the streets around it hold exactly the kind of older houses this work was made for. Deliveries of stone and plant material reach Hiram faster than anywhere else we serve, which shows up as less mobilization cost inside the quote. Our yard sits on Bartlett Road in Mantua, and we keep every job inside a tight circle of it, which is how Marcus stays on each site personally instead of managing crews by phone.
Hiram has beautiful old houses and old school architecture, and that work takes restraint: beds reshaped to the porch lines, plantings chosen to frame rather than bury, stone used where the house's own era would have used it. Marcus wants more of exactly these properties, which is why Hiram is on this list despite being a village and not a market.
Stone steps and walkways in Hiram
Grade changes at older properties usually got handled decades ago with railroad ties or poured steps, and both fail the same way. We replace them with natural sandstone slab steps and paver walks built on compacted base, the same construction we use on the big builds, scaled to a village lot. The stone comes from the next town over, so it matches what northeast Ohio ground already looks like.
Landscape design in Hiram, OH
Hiram has the oldest houses on our list, and a design here has to suit the house rather than fight it. Marcus draws stone and bed lines that look like they belong to the period of the home, and Hiram is close enough to the Mantua yard that he is on the property often while it gets built.
Hiram homeowner questions
Can you fix standing water in a Hiram backyard?
Usually, yes. Hiram sits on the same clay as the rest of the county, so we see it constantly: regrading, buried drains, or a dry creek bed that carries the storm water. The drainage page covers how we approach it.
Do you install landscape lighting in Hiram?
Yes, and it is some of our favorite work in Hiram: Kichler low-voltage fixtures on paths, steps and the house itself. Details on the lighting page.
Can you landscape around an older Hiram house?
Yes, and it is work we ask for. Beds, plantings, stone and walks designed to fit the age of the house, drawn up front so you can see the fit before we build.
How close are you to Hiram?
Minutes. Our yard is on Bartlett Road in Mantua and SR-700 runs you into Hiram directly, which makes it one of the shortest mobilizations we have. Small jobs stay worth doing well when the drive is this short.
Most of it. Beyond Hiram, our Portage County work includes Streetsboro, Aurora, Mantua, Kent, and we will let you know on the phone if an address falls outside the run.
Where do you run Hiram jobs from?
From our yard on Bartlett Road in Mantua. SR-700 and SR-305 meet at the college corner, so the trucks are on your side of the county from the first hour, and we keep every job inside a ten to fifteen mile circle of the yard.
“Marcus and his team did a great job replacing a walkway in our backyard along with installing a patio for a fire pit. Additionally, he installed plants through our front and back beds as well as installed river rock to help with water management. I have worked with Marcus before and always found him a good communicator. He and his team are here when they say they are going to be and don’t leave a mess when they are done. Marcus is a high integrity business owner. I would recommend him to anyone looking for landscape design and installation.”
