Celebrating Four Decades Of Beautifying Cincinnati Homes
We have a dedicated professional team and are confident we will serve you in a manner that will exceed your expectations. It’s an attitude that starts with our owners and transcends to our field crews, office personnel, and managers. When Mark and Gregg Tepe founded their company in 1980, they knew two things: quality landscapes, and superior customer service.
These are still our guiding philosophies today. Even as landscape trends change and we employ new styles, we still service our clients the old-fashioned way – with personal attention. Our wide range of services include landscape design, landscape maintenance, lawn sprinkler installation and service, landscape lighting, natural stone and paver patios and walkways. We use a variety of high-quality plant material that is well suited for the typical greater Cincinnati climate.
Not only can we help you coordinate and contract your other projects, such as swimming pools, decks, and gazebos, we will work closely with your contractor to assure that your project turns out just as you expect. Our goal is to partner with you and develop a long-term relationship. Collectively we have over 100 years of professional experience in the landscape industry as well as four full-time landscape designers on staff. We combine the science of landscape and the art of design by taking into consideration the architecture of your home, the topography of the surrounding properties, and your personal preferences.

Our HOA front entrance landscaping sprinkler system was activated today. The technician stopped at the house to give me a key to the control panel and update me on the service call. I had requested timer adjustments and ensuring the control panel would lock. These items were completed and confirmed by the technician. I did not get his name. Good follow-up. Thank you.read more

I’ve used Tepe Services for my sprinkler system for the past 5 years. Their techs are always courteous, easy to work with, and do a great job. I had a leak this year and Cory did a great job fixing it. It was hard to find in a large yard with lots of large buried rocks. Despite this, Cory quickly found the leak and repaired it with minimal damage to my lawn. My only recommendation on where they could improve is if they had online scheduling for my annual activation and shutoff.I also had Tepe install a 60 foot retaining wall this year and repair a large paver patio last year. Dan was great to work with on both of these hardscape projects. Pricing was fair and the workers did a great job.read more

I have worked with Tepe for many years at several different homes and they always deliver. Just had my yearly spring refresh of my landscaping and Sam and his team did an excellent job. Checked in with me before they started and at the end to make sure I was happy with everything. They cleaned everything up including hosing off the sidewalk/driveway.I also had their irrigation team install sprinklers several years ago and they do my activation and shut down each year and are quick to respond if I have any issues.I would highly recommend both teams!read more

My technician, I think, was Al. Very friendly and knowledgeable. He explained what he was going to do and asked if I had any questions. I told him my rain sensor hadn’t worked for years and he said he had a new wireless one in his van that he could install. He did so in no time. Great job!!read more

Mark and design team folks worked with us on a rustic patio/firepit area added to a previously unusable forested hillside in Columbia Tusculum. The project included an elaborate stone step pathway, drainage considerations, erosion control, and construction of a railroad tie retaining/sitting wall with a good bit of strategic boulder placements. Gary and Fonzi did the bulk of the work. The communication throughout the effort was remarkable. We can't say enough about how great everyone was to work with or how happy we are with the results. We can't wait to work with them on other landscaping maintenance and property enhancement projects that we have in mind in the future.Thanks for all the hard work and extra attention to complicated details related to hillside drainage and the like, we really appreciate it: Highly Recommend!read more

We love the stamped concrete patio and landscaping that Tepe designed and installed for us. David Kuchenbuch's creative design and grading were just what we needed for our space. The landscaping, concrete, and stonework are incredible and we are thrilled with the final result.read more

I had been exploring options for a self-installed irrigation system in my back yard to deal with extremely dry soil in the summer months. By complete coincidence, I happened to see one of Tepe's trucks at a gas station near my house and snapped a picture of the truck as a reminder to get a professional estimate at some point. I reached out to Tepe a few weeks later and submitted my info through their website. Gerry responded within a day or so and we set up a time for a on-site estimate at my house the following week. When Gerry came to our house for the estimate, he took time to answer all my questions and discuss how the system should be laid out based on what I wanted to accomplish, how they would connect to the existing utilities (water/electric), and how they could set up the system to allow future flexibility and expansion.After some back and forth over email to revise the quote and answer some more questions, the project scope was finalized. The overall cost was higher than I expected, but I have no experience with these systems and don't know if their cost is higher, lower, or in line with other companies that offer this type of service. Even though the components (pipe, sprinkler heads, valves) themselves aren't really that expensive, there is a significant amount of labor to install them and there is also value in the expertise of knowing how to properly integrate them properly.I should also note that a significant portion of the cost was related to what I consider to be the one-time equipment costs (utility tie-ins, backflow preventer, controller, main valves). In the future when I expand the system, I will only need to pay for the additional pipes, sprinkler heads, and labor. I was able to reduce the cost somewhat by running the water line and electric myself for them to tie into. However, if the homeowner isn't comfortable doing this type of work, they offer a turn-key service to tie into to your existing utilities as part of the install.Perhaps I should have gotten a few more estimates, but in the end I felt confident working with Tepe because of their consistent responsiveness, flexibility in working with me on the cost, and their commitment to have the system installed before the driest part of the summer.On the day of the install, a crew of three showed up on time and walked me through what they were going to do (and where) before they started. They were careful not to damage any of the existing landscape/flowers even through that required some careful manual digging to place the water lines. They were able to run the trenches in such a way as to minimize damage to the lawn and they took time to re-seed any areas that had been disturbed by their equipment. Before they left, the crew spent at least 45 min explaining the system, answering my questions, and showing me how to program the controller. When they left, I felt confident that I understood the system, how it worked, where the major components were located, and how to adjust the programming if needed. In addition, the job site was completely raked and cleaned before they left - it was almost as if they were never there.About a week after the install, I noticed that there was a low spot in the lawn where they had installed a T junction in the underground lines. This area stayed consistently wet and muddy. I called Tepe, explained the issue I was having, and they scheduled a service call to have someone come out a few days later to check it out. One of their installers came out, assessed the issue by digging up a small section of lawn to ensure there wasn't a leaky fitting underground, and then leveled the low spot and reseeded the area. I was impressed by the immediate response for the service call (at no charge) and the professionalism with which they addressed the issue on my very small system. I assume that I am one of their smaller customers based on our system size, but they've never given me any inclination whatsoever that it is any less of a priority to them than their larger/commercial clients.read more
