Landscaping Company in Covington, KY
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.
Featured Projects
That history built a city of remarkable architectural depth. The Roebling Suspension Bridge — a prototype for the Brooklyn Bridge — connects Covington to Cincinnati. The Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption, modeled after Notre Dame de Paris, houses what is said to be the world’s largest handmade church stained-glass window. MainStrasse Village preserves its German heritage through Italianate and Second Empire buildings dating to the 1840s and 1870s, along with annual Maifest and Oktoberfest celebrations. Devou Park spans more than 700 acres of wooded hillside above the Ohio River, offering golf, hiking, and some of the best views of the Cincinnati skyline from the Kentucky side.
Covington’s 19 neighborhoods each present different landscape conditions. The dense historic core requires space-efficient design that complements period architecture. The western hills demand grading expertise and erosion management. The southern neighborhoods offer the lot size for full outdoor living buildouts. Whatever the setting, Tepe Landscape & Design Group brings the same design/build approach — one team from concept to completion — that we’ve delivered across the Tri-State since 1980.
