Landscaping Services in Newport

Newport’s residential neighborhoods range from dense, urban streetscapes near the riverfront to the tree-lined streets and larger lots of the Mansion Hill historic district and the southern hillside sections of the city. Tepe Landscape & Design Group has provided professional landscape design and installation services in Newport since 1980 — from courtyard gardens and front-yard transformations on compact urban lots to full outdoor living spaces on properties with more room to work.

Our landscape design and installation work in Newport accounts for the city’s unique mix of property types. Historic homes in Mansion Hill and the Buena Vista district often have small, defined yards where every square foot matters — we design plantings, hardscape, and structures that maximize usable space while complementing the home’s architectural period. In Newport’s southern neighborhoods, where lot sizes increase and terrain begins to roll, we design patios, retaining walls, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, and planting plans scaled to the property. Whether you’re working with a 25-foot-wide townhouse lot or a half-acre on the hill, we design landscapes that fit the site.
A properly zoned lawn sprinkler and irrigation system keeps Newport landscapes healthy through Kentucky’s variable summers. Urban lots with mixed sun and shade — common where mature trees overhang neighboring properties — need zone-specific coverage that delivers water where it’s needed without wasting it on hardscape or structures. We design systems with smart controllers and rain sensors matched to each area’s actual conditions, from sunny front yards to shaded side gardens to the sloped rear lots common in Newport’s hillside sections.

Landscape lighting adds safety, security, and curb appeal to Newport properties. Well-placed path lighting along walkways and entry steps is practical on the city’s older streetscapes, where original lighting may be minimal. Accent lighting on architectural details, mature trees, and garden features brings out the character of Newport’s historic homes after dark, while functional lighting around patios and outdoor living areas extends the evening hours outdoors. Our LED systems are energy-efficient and built for Northern Kentucky’s climate.
