Landscape Maintenance in Columbus
Residential and commercial grounds care across Central Ohio — on a written annual calendar, performed by a dedicated crew that knows your property.
Care that protects the design
Maintenance is where most high-end landscapes are lost. Bed lines drift, pruning gets rushed, lawns thin out, and within a few seasons the original design is gone. Our landscape maintenance programs are built to prevent that — for private homes, HOA communities, and commercial properties across Columbus and its suburbs.
We limit the number of properties each crew manages, so every site gets consistent people, consistent standards, and a written annual calendar covering lawn care, horticultural care, hardscape upkeep, irrigation, and lighting service. You always know what's being done, when, and why.

A year of care in Central Ohio
Central Ohio's clay soils, humid summers, and freeze-thaw winters demand a plan that changes with the seasons. Here's how a typical Forged maintenance year runs.
Spring (March–May)
Spring cleanup, bed edging, fresh mulch, pre-emergent weed control, irrigation start-up, and a lighting system check.
Summer (June–August)
Weekly mowing, seasonal pruning, weed control, and irrigation adjustments through hot, dry stretches.
Fall (September–November)
Leaf removal, perennial cutback, core aeration and overseeding, and irrigation winterization before the first hard freeze.
Winter (December–February)
Dormant pruning, next-season planning, and snow and ice management.
