Our Story
Designing the Extraordinary Since 1980
Tepe Landscape & Design is a residential landscape architecture and design-build firm dedicated to creating extraordinary outdoor living spaces across Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. Since 1980, our family-owned company has been designing and building custom landscapes, outdoor living areas, lighting, and irrigation systems that elevate the way our clients live outside.
Founded by brothers Mark and Gregg Tepe, the firm combines deep expertise in landscape architecture, horticulture, construction, and lighting with a true design-build approach. From the first conversation through final walkthrough, our team manages every detail—design, permitting, construction, and ongoing care—so your project feels seamless, coordinated, and carefully guided at every step.
Our office team includes registered Landscape Architects, professionals with degrees in Landscape Architecture, Architecture, Management, Leadership, and Project Management, and staff with advanced training in client service and operations. Our field crews bring decades of hands‑on experience and hold OSHA certifications, Reading Rock certifications, Unilock Authorized Contractor status, and Techo‑Bloc certifications, ensuring that every patio, wall, and outdoor feature is built to the highest standards of safety, performance, and craftsmanship.
Our mission is to provide exceptional outdoor environments—and an exceptional experience—through a collaborative design‑build process rooted in quality, integrity, and personal service.

Where It All Started
Our Mission
Two brothers. One shared belief that landscape design could be done at a level most people hadn’t seen yet.
That conviction built this company. It still runs it today.
We exist to be one partner — accountable from first concept to final walkthrough. That means thoughtful design, honest budgets, clear communication, and project management that keeps every commitment we make. We measure success by how your outdoor space lives and feels for your family, not just how it photographs on day one.
Internally, we hold the same standard. Tepe is a place where licensing, certification, and craft are expected — and invested in. When our people grow, our clients feel it.
