This diversity requires landscaping expertise that can adapt to different styles, challenging sites, and unique homeowner visions.
At Samson Landscape + Design, we've worked on dozens of Cleveland Heights properties, from the steep slopes of Fairmount to the charming homes of Cedar Lee, from spacious Mayfield Heights properties to compact urban gardens. We understand the unique characteristics of Cleveland Heights landscaping — the hilly terrain, mature tree canopies, clay soil challenges, and the eclectic mix of architectural styles.
Whether you're updating an aging landscape, creating a new patio for entertaining, solving drainage problems common to the Heights' hills, or designing a complete backyard transformation, we bring local knowledge and professional craftsmanship to every project.
If there's one thing Cleveland Heights homeowners know, it's drainage problems. The area's hilly terrain, combined with Cleveland's heavy clay soil and frequent rainfall, creates drainage challenges that can lead to basement water issues, soggy lawns, erosion, and washouts.
Many Cleveland Heights homes experience basement water problems due to water flowing downhill toward foundations. We install French drains and foundation drainage systems that intercept water before it reaches your home, keeping basements dry and preventing structural damage.
Steep slopes common in Cleveland Heights create erosion and runoff problems. We design terraced retaining wall systems with proper drainage, install surface drains to manage water flow, and create grading solutions that direct water safely away from your property.
Improper yard grading is a common issue in Cleveland Heights. We correct grading to ensure positive drainage away from your home, install swales to channel water, and create proper slopes that prevent standing water while maintaining usable lawn space.

We work with premium brands including Unilock, Belgard, and Techo-Bloc, plus natural stone including bluestone, flagstone, and limestone.
