Landscape Design
We create custom landscape plans based on your Cleveland area property, goals and how you want to use the space. Designs can include planting layouts, hardscape features, drainage considerations and other elements that help the entire property feel more cohesive and functional.

Shrub & Tree Planting and Removal
The right shrubs and trees can add privacy, structure, color and long-term value to a landscape. TUFF handles planting and removal with attention to spacing, mature size, site conditions and how each plant fits into the overall design.

Seasonal cleanups help prepare your property for the months ahead. TUFF removes leaves and debris, cleans planting areas and gets landscapes ready for spring growth or winter dormancy so the property stays healthier and easier to maintain.
