Landscaping Company in Union, KY
Union is one of the fastest-growing cities in one of Kentucky’s fastest-growing counties — and that growth means thousands of newer homes on lots where the landscape is still catching up to the house. Tepe Landscape & Design Group has provided professional landscape design and installation services across Boone County since 1980, and we understand the specific conditions that Union’s residential properties present.
Our landscape design and installation services in Union address the reality of newer subdivision lots: builder-grade grading with compacted clay subsoil, minimal topsoil, and yards that were sodded and left without a real landscape plan. We start with soil assessment and grading corrections where needed, then design plantings, patios, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, pergolas, fire features, and swimming pools that transform a basic backyard into a genuine outdoor living space. For Union’s more established properties along the older corridors, we provide renovation designs that update aging plantings and hardscape to reflect how the homeowner actually wants to use the space today.
A well-designed lawn sprinkler and irrigation system is critical on Union’s clay-heavy Boone County soil. Clay holds moisture near the surface after rain but bakes hard during dry spells, creating a cycle of saturation and drought stress that manual watering can’t manage. We design zone-specific irrigation with smart controllers and rain sensors that respond to real-time conditions — delivering the right amount of water to each area based on sun exposure, soil type, and grade, so your lawn and plantings stay healthy through Kentucky’s unpredictable summers.

Featured Projects
Union was officially incorporated in 1838 as a connection point between Florence and Big Bone Lick, where salt had been manufactured since the early 1800s and brought to Union for distribution. The name “Union” stuck, though no one is entirely certain why it was chosen. For most of its history, Union was a quiet rural crossroads — by 1970, the official population was just 233. Then southern Boone County’s suburban wave arrived.
Today Union is home to more than 7,500 residents and is the second-largest incorporated city in Boone County. The city has grown from one square mile to roughly three, driven by the same forces reshaping the broader I-75 corridor: proximity to Cincinnati and the airport, strong Boone County schools including Ryle High School and Larry A. Ryle Elementary, and a mix of housing that offers more space for the dollar than the closer-in Northern Kentucky suburbs. Big Bone Lick State Historic Site — the “Birthplace of American Vertebrate Paleontology,” where mammoth and mastodon fossils drew the attention of Meriwether Lewis in 1803 and Thomas Jefferson after him — sits just west of the city.
