Landscape Installation
A uniformed crew, checked while the job is still open
Grade, drainage and bed lines get inspected before they're buried, and every plant gets reviewed with you before the crew leaves.
Chapter 01
The crew that turns up in uniform
An installation crew is on a Cincinnati property for days or weeks, not hours, moving through the front yard, the side beds and often the neighbor's sightline the whole time. Perrino Landscape's installation crews are professionally uniformed, which is a small detail that tells you something real: this is a company that treats being on your property as a standing that has to be earned every day, not a one-off job where anyone with a truck shows up.
It also makes accountability simple. If a question comes up mid-install, a homeowner or a neighbor on Observatory or Grandin knows exactly who is working the site and who to ask.

Quality control while the job is open, not after
The install that goes wrong is usually the one nobody looked at until the walk-through at the end, by which point a bed edge is already backfilled and a grade is already set. Perrino Landscape runs supervisory visits throughout the install, not just a single inspection once the crew has packed up.
That means grade, drainage and bed lines get checked while they can still be adjusted with a shovel instead of after the sod has rooted in around them. It is the same discipline that runs through the whole practice, from Josh Otto's seven years as installation foreman before he took over operations, to Andy Perrino's own forty-plus years watching what actually goes wrong on a residential site.
Chapter 03
The handover most companies skip
A lot of installs end with the truck pulling out of the driveway. Perrino Landscape's ends with a post-installation review of every plant and its care, done with the client, before the crew leaves the property. That means walking the beds together and talking through what each species actually needs, not handing over a printed care sheet nobody reads.
Richard and Nydia Tranter of Mt. Lookout, who finally got the patio built after years of trying with other contractors, described the difference plainly: "Everything was completed on time and as promised. Actually, it was better than promised." That standard holds for the walk-through as much as the paver work itself.
What goes wrong when nobody is setting the grade
Grade is invisible once the lawn fills in, which is exactly why it causes trouble two years later instead of two weeks later. A bed graded to hold water against a foundation, a paver joint set without a real base so it heaves after the first hard freeze, a bed edge cut freehand so it wanders instead of following the line on the drawing. Those are the failures that show up as a standing puddle by the stone-and-stucco wall or a lawn that never quite drains after a Cincinnati downpour.
That is why the construction drawings from the design stage, the uniformed crew, and the supervisory visits are one connected system rather than three separate selling points. Call (513) 533-2300 and the same company that draws the plan is the one holding the shovel and checking the grade before it is buried under sod.
