Landscaping Services in Covington

Covington is Northern Kentucky’s largest city and one of its most architecturally diverse — 19 distinct neighborhoods, 12 historic districts, and housing stock that spans 180 years from pre-Civil War townhouses to new-construction infill. Tepe Landscape & Design Group has provided professional landscape design and installation services in Covington since 1980, working with the full range of property types the city presents.

Our landscape design and installation services in Covington are shaped by the neighborhood. In MainStrasse, Mutter Gottes, and the Licking Riverside district, we design for tight urban lots — courtyard gardens, front-entry plantings, patio hardscape, and vertical interest that makes the most of limited square footage while respecting the historic architecture. In Wallace Woods and Botany Hills, tree-lined streets and larger setbacks open up room for foundation plantings, perennial beds, and defined outdoor living areas. In Latonia and South Covington, where lot sizes increase and the terrain rolls into Kenton County’s characteristic hills, we design full-scale outdoor spaces including patios, retaining walls, fire features, pergolas, and swimming pools. Covington’s western hills — Kenton Hills, the neighborhoods surrounding Devou Park — add steep grades and panoramic views that call for terracing, erosion control, and designs oriented toward the Cincinnati skyline.

A lawn sprinkler and irrigation system designed for Covington’s conditions keeps plantings and turf healthy without overwatering. The city’s terrain varies from flat riverfront lots to steep hillside properties, and each requires different irrigation strategy — pressure regulation on slopes, drip zones in shaded areas under mature canopy, and smart controllers that adjust to real-time weather rather than running on a fixed timer. We design systems matched to the actual conditions on each property.
