Autumn is a great time to plant! Perennials, trees and shrubs even sod benefit from fall planting. What you cant' see in this picture, is a lovely brick patio. This small space offers fabulous privacy and a sense of tranquility.
It's Focal Garden Friday! The focal garden is certainly showing off its fall colors today, just in time for October.
We added this Viking grill set in natural stone to this outdoor living space at a home in Hyde Park just recently. It'll allow the homeowners to extend their use of this outdoor space well into fall and winter. Just out of sight to the left is a large fireplace.
This week, our irrigation experts are working on a project at a beautiful property in Amberley Village.
The spiders love the snow plows. Ideally we need the plows in a few months.
I was away from our new Pollinator Garden for three days and I am most certain it has grown. Many of the plugs are in bloom, the grasses are taking off and the Solidago is in full bloom.
Landscape designer, Natalie Selker, shares some valuable insight into tackling a large landscape project ... "It’s not uncommon for a client to desire a complete overhaul of their landscape, but also have a need to tackle the project in stages. This is when working with a landscape designer is so important."

This project on the east side of Cincinnati involves reclaiming the backyard of a 100 year old home that has a storied history among Cincinnati's well known families. The new owners lived nearby and moved quickly when presented with the opportunity to own this amazing example of old-world craftsmanship. After the construction of substantial three story addition to the back of the home they are now looking at bringing the backyard, which at one time had large terraces, water features and gardens, up to date. There will plenty of outdoor living space including patios, a gazebo, and fire pit highlighted by Corten steel walls blended with stone, pollinator gardens, cascading drainage systems, and more.
Some landscape projects call for the really big garden tools!! This is an extensive landscape design that we will be visiting often. Right now the focus is on water movement management: an issue many homeowners face in our area.
Ratibida columnifera Red Midget AKA Red Mexican Hat has been garnering a bit of interest in our new Pollinator Gardner. I will admit that at first I was not holding out a lot of hope for this plant. A tiny plug that was slow to establish, I had forgotten about it and put it on my 'not to plant again' list. Then summer's heat kicked in and so did this little beauty! Again, gardening is teaching me patience.
PS Red Mexican Hat has been moved to the 'must plant more of' list.
You may think of a Pollinator Garden as a summer garden. But, it's also an autumn garden. Pollinators are still foraging and looking for blooms. So keep those blooms up! If your garden is lacking blooms this time of the year, now's the time to add additional plants.
We can design a garden that attracts pollinators from the first hint of spring into late fall. Call us!
I had to ask Amanda to stop moving for one moment to get her photo. Clients often comment on how hard she works, her seemingly limitless energy and attention to detail. We love what we do at Wimberg and it shows!
Oh, I wish I had made a video of this little garden along a front entrance walk. This is a new pollinator garden that is transitioning to its display of fall colors and seedhaeds. Many of the plants were still supporting honey bees. The curve of the walk is lovely and adds a nice flow to the garden The homeowner has added more plants, replicating what you see here, on the other side of the walk. So this is a garden you walk through, which makes it all the more enjoyable.
Remember, you don't need a lot of space to have pollinator garden.
It was a foggy, chilly start to day one of demo on this job. Say 'good-bye!' to the honeysuckle and hello to a landscape of desirable plantings. Stay tuned!
We planted a variety of plugs to fill in large areas of the new garden and to see how well they would perform. I can say without hesitation that we are impressed with Little Blue Stem. Imagine a lawn replaced with this beauty: no lawn has this great fall color! It is deer resistant (we never spray deer repellant in this garden) and very low maintenance. Our designers can reimagine your lawn and create a natural looking landscape of a refined plant palette that is interesting year-round.
This morning at the Wimberg Focal Garden at Ault Park. The birds are going crazy over the seeds we left standing in the garden as well as the berries on Holly tree.
We finished the install in this backyard. Now it is free of that massive, invasive honeysuckle and has more lawn for the kids to enjoy.
Do you need a little relaxation and tranquility in your life, or at least in your landscape? Some simple changes helped to transform this landscape into a place of calm reflection in nature.
https://www.wimberglandscaping.com/ReadArticle.aspx?e=1262
It's becoming a bit of a tradition, sharing a photo of our Focal Garden in Ault Park on Friday mornings. Even after the cold and rain, the garden still looks lovely. I will start to cut back a few plants only because they have toppled into walks. But most will stay up into winter, providing food and shelter for birds and small animals .
Situated at the bottom of a steep street, this hillside adjacent to our client's house experiences a large amount of water runoff. To accommodate the water, we are constructing, what may be, the largest most impressive dry creek bed, ever!
Sometimes, there are just too many leaves for a lawn and garden to absorb. Take a smaller yard plus a massive tree then mix in the neighbor's trees dropping their leaves and you get leaf overload!
Autumn may be here, but so are the pollinators. Don't be too quick to cut back perennials, those in bloom and those with seeds: they are a vital food source for pollinators and birds.
So many curves! The curves of this new patio is reflected in the curving bed lines. This is how you add visual interest and movement in a landscape.
Good frosty morning to you all! Who had to scrape their windows before heading to work? This lady did. A light frost is rather attractive in the gardens, yes? One more reason to leave those plants standing!
This is a much nicer view for the homeowner. The shrubs will add privacy and color year round. In this woodland setting they look wonderful. Should the owners decide to add a garden, we can simply extend the bed to accommodate new plants and the growth of the shrubs.
Clearing out weeds, straggly plants and honeysuckles coupled with a new bed line is just the beginning of a new perimeter planting in this backyard. If your yard is edged with honeysuckle, come winter that privacy you enjoyed in the summer is gone. Why not create a new edge of the property landscape that is easy to care for and is attractive year-round? I can't wait to see the progress later today.
Trading in your worn, plastic edging (or perhaps you have no edging at all) for a sturdy metal edging system is one of the best landscaping decision you can make. Plastic breaks and cracks and never looks good. A metal edge preserves the shape of your bed edges and will look good season after season.
Here we are in early November and the gardens still have so much for us to enjoy.
If we're going to have such pleasant weather, we might as well keep planting the new Wimberg Pollinator Garden. We are adding pollinator plants in the back of the property, too, including these 50 Monarda plugs. The Hummingbirds will be so happy next year!
There is something gratifying about getting a new garden installed now, at the end of the season. While some of the plants may have been trimmed already and it can look a little sparse now, com spring, when we are eager to get started, a fall planted garden is already taking shape. It's good to plant for the future: gardens and trees.
Won’t be long before we need these. What’s your prediction for the date of the first snow that we have to plow?
I am really looking forward to seeing the progress on this project later today. It was demo day yesterday and what is on the making: a new Zen Garden.
We often talk about winter interest in the garden that can be found with spent flowers, seed heads and grasses. Once you realize that the garden is open for discovery well into late fall and winter, you will begin to see how interesting garden can be when it's not in bloom.
I was surprised to see the gaura still producing blooms. Not wanting to remove the blooms (I still see bees in the gardens) I had to do a little selective pruning: it took a bit longer, but it was worth it.
Who says a garden can't be beautiful without blooms? I went to tend to our Focal Garden and while I was wrangling lambs ears, three different professional photo shoots took place in our garden. If you plant it they will come -- pollinators and photographers.
Everyone at Wimberg Landscaping would like to wish you and your family a very happy Thanksgiving.

It's all hands on deck at this project. New walks and gardens on each side of the home as well as back yard plantings. A lot of great curves in the walks and gardens will be interesting to look at when all is in bloom and in the winter.
Curves are definitely needed when you are creating a backyard Zen Garden. The graceful flow of the lines encourages relaxation.
There's a lot of positive points about a new home in a new neighborhood: a complete landscape with privacy, though, isn't usually one of them. Our team is busy prepping a new planting area to accommodate a mixture of deciduous and evergreen shrubs.
Wimberg Landscaping is pleased to announce that we are the recipient of the Consumers' Choice award for the seventh year in a row. This is especially rewarding for us due to the challenges and uncertainty brought on by the COVID virus this year. Thank you for entrusting us with the care of your landscape design and installation, and garden and lawn maintenance.

Have you taken a moment to explore your garden after last night's light snow? The look of plants with a dusting of snow is another reason why we love to leave as many plants standing as we can in the winter garden. I am also loving how the rock features look, too, especially the dry creek beds.
One of the benefits of gardening for pollinators is that many of the plants are left standing through winter, which lends our gardens that much sought after winter interest. Appreciating the beauty in a winter garden asks us to change how we see things. It's no longer bold colors, flowers and butterflies - it's subtle hues and tones of gold, bronze and copper making a show in the garden.
It was trying its best to snow on the way to work this morning. It's a good time to remind ourselves that a light snow, or drier snow, is fine to leave as is on tree branches and shrubs. If it's a wet, heavy snow, never push down on the branches to dislodge the snow- you risk breaking the plants. Instead, gently push up to knock the snow off.
Not all of our projects are glamorous. Some are hard work, that take skill, a solid understanding of retaining wall design and installation and lots of patience. Replacing this old, crumbling wall with a new wall will not make the cover of 'Garden Design', but it will put our clients' mind at ease and allow them to relax and enjoy their fabulous park-like backyard.
The other day we visited a job in progress where the landscape was in need of a backdrop and a bit of privacy. Today I stopped to see the finished planting. Two different evergreen shrubs as well as some flowering shrubs create a backdrop that's beyond a wall of plants, but rather one with textures, colors and visual interest. The new planting will stand well alone, or as the foundation of a new garden, should the client opt to add one down the road.
Curves rule in this front landscape installation. The gentle curve of the walk leading to the front door is repeated in the curves of the accent walls. This is a perfect example of how hardscapes and the shapes they take can contribute greatly to the feel of a new landscape.
I stopped by this site last week and was drawn to all of the curves in the design. The project should be wrapping today and I can't wait to see the final landscape.
Rob is helping (well, really doing the heavy lifting) with the installation of a new pollinator garden at our new office. Echinacea, Asclepias tuberosa, nepeta, Stachys byzantina, bugleweed and some prairie dropseed are going today. We'll finish with pine straw, of course. Come spring I'll add some upright verbena and lantana.
The sun is shining so a quick walk around our new pollinator garden was in order. We only removed a handful of annuals, the rest, perennials, have been left standing, as they would in nature. The colors are more subdued, earth tones of tans, goldens and rusts. The Rattlesnake Master is still holding its own with these fabulous seed heads and the achillea has just lost the brilliance of its bloom.
This is a great time of the year to appreciate, or perhaps notice for the first time, plants that offer great winter interest in the landscape. Not all winter interest plants are this dramatic, but they all contribute to creating a landscape that keeps us enthralled throughout the year.
This garden pond remodel looks like a lot of fun, loud fun, with really cool garden tools!
I have no words.... Kyle Schweer
If the ground isn't frozen we can work! We're starting another new landscape remodel and this time it includes a pond makeover.
As we get ready to say goodbye to 2020 and usher in a new, hopefully healthier year, we take a look back at what helped to make this year great.
With COVID, some events for which we were donating plants were cancelled. What resulted was the opportunity to bring gorgeous, fresh flowers to those in assisted living facilities to brighten their day. There is always a silver lining if you know where to look.
Wishing you all a joyous day!
The Holiday Season is upon us, and everyone at Wimberg Landscaping would like to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Happy Holidays!!

Looking Back at 2020..
After 40 years of continuous growth, it was time once again, for Wimberg Landscaping to establish a new, larger office and work lot. It was an ambitious undertaking, transforming the new property into one well suited for an expanding work crew and office team, but we got it done. And along the way, we have been planting a massive garden that has already attracted pollinators as well as garden enthusiasts.

Worth the climb! Soon this client will have fabulous natural stone steps to lead them to their firepit tucked in their woodland backyard. Sounds like a bit of staycation happiness.
What a nice feeling, pulling into the office in the morning with the gardens and our gorgeous sign illuminated. Lighting accentuates the landscape, extends the time we can spend outdoors by making patios and decks more inviting, and it's a beautiful way to ensure safety when pulling into a drive, walking along a sidewalk or climbing stairs.
What was once an outdated and discombobulated pond garden in the entry drive island is now a garden of calm and serenity.

One more reason why we wait to cut back our Pollinator Garden: frost and snow tucked within the Rattlesnake Master's seed heads.

We’ve added some paintings from local artist Dylan Speeg to our conference room here at Wimberg Landscaping. Dylan was part of our team many years ago. He is also a well known musician/songwriter in the area.
There’s a good chance that pollinator gardening will introduce you to an array of new plants. It’s to be expected. But what may surprise you is that the way in which we garden when planting for pollinators is quite different. Take for example the fact that we are not cutting our gardens back at the end of fall.

While we are conducting interviews everyday for positions with our team for the upcoming start to the growing season, we're also looking for people to assist with snow removal right now. If you have a truck and plow, we can sub some accounts to you. If you have experience but no equipment of your own, we can put you with our crews. Even if you don't have experience, we can put you with our crews. Our trucks are all less than four years old and in great condition. Some shoveling is involved but most of the work is with plows, salt spreaders and blowers. Call us at 513.271.2332 if interested.

We need to say ‘thank you’ to the members of the Wimberg Team who were in their trucks hours before sunrise and worked a 12-15 hour day. Just getting to our headquarters was a challenge as the 7-9” of snow pretty much surprised all of us. We even had several members of the management and sales teams spend the day helping service the 200+ properties on our routes all over eastern Hamilton and western Clermont counties. In the end we have about 25 crews with plows, salt spreaders and blowers. Offering ice and snow removal is just one more way that we can provide our clients year-round property maintenance.
Did You Know? North America is home to 45 species of native bumblebees and around a dozen species live in Ohio. You are likely to see female bumblebees in the cool, spring garden for they can forage in wet, cooler conditions than other native pollinators. This is why you will often find bumblebees in the shade pollinator garden. And they travel, flying as far as a mile to access food sources. Learn more with our Pollinator Newsletter!

This snowy winter won't last forever as the earth is slowly tilting back into our favor! The first day of March, the beginning of meteorological spring, is just two weeks away. Daffodils will be up, trees will start to flower, and landscape beds will need maintenance. Lawns will start to green up soon enough. Prior to the snow our landscape teams were installing patios, walls, etc. We're always looking for new members of our team. We've been in the Green Industry serving residential clients for over 40 years. At the peak of the season we will have over 60 employees. If you would like to learn more about career opportunities with us, contact us at 513.271.2332 or email me directly at pwimberg@wimbergco.com.
A shout-out to those who are tackling this massive snow event. Our crews have been out for several hours, and will continue to work, putting in long hours. City crews are as well.
It's no easy task tackling this historic winter invasion.
Please be patient, be calm, and drive with care if you must be out on the roads.
Our crews are at it again. Will this snow ever stop? Not for a while at least, so be kind, give them room to work, and please drive with caution.
