Powell, Ohio · Residential & Commercial

About Us

At Down To Earth Landscaping & Design, we think a well-kept property says something before anyone says hello. We’re a Powell-based landscaping and design company serving homeowners, HOAs and businesses across Delaware County and Northwest Columbus — designing, building and maintaining outdoor spaces that hold up to real Ohio seasons.

Our Story

Down To Earth is a family company, and it started the way most good landscaping companies do — with an owner who’d rather do the work right than do more of it. Frank Wilcox founded the company in Powell on that standard, and his son Luke grew up working in it — on the crews, on the estimates, on the phone. Frank has since retired, and Luke runs the company today the same way his dad did: he still runs the crews, still walks the estimates, and still answers the phone. That’s deliberate. It means the person who promised you a straight bed line is the same person who checks it before the trailer leaves. The company has grown from mowing into full landscape design, hardscape installation, water features and winter snow service, but the second generation runs it on the first one’s rule: small enough to know your property, equipped enough to build something permanent on it.

Who We Serve

We work with:

  • Homeowners across Powell, Dublin, Delaware and the surrounding communities
  • HOA and condo association common areas
  • New-build and recently-landscaped homes that need a plan, not just a mow
  • Office parks, retail plazas and small commercial sites
  • Property managers who’d rather call one number than five

Residential and commercial work ask for different things — a homeowner wants a backyard they want to sit in, a property manager wants a site that’s safe, tidy and never a phone call. We run both, and we scope each one on its own terms instead of forcing a commercial contract onto a family’s backyard.

Our Services

Everything a property needs across a full central Ohio year:

  • Lawn mowing, edging and trimming on a set weekly schedule
  • Fertilization, broadleaf weed control and core aeration
  • Spring and fall cleanups, pruning and shrub trimming
  • Landscape design, planting and bed installation
  • Mulch and decorative stone
  • Paver patios, walkways and retaining walls
  • Ponds, waterfalls and water features — installed, cleaned out and maintained
  • Tree and shrub care, and landscape lighting
  • Gutter cleaning and power washing
  • Snow plowing, shoveling, salting and storm cleanup

Whether it’s a June mow or a 4 a.m. plow, we show up prepared, on schedule, and we clean up after ourselves.

Why Choose Down To Earth

We’re not the cheapest quote you’ll get, and we don’t try to be. What you’re paying for is a crew that shows up the day we said, does the detail work nobody photographs, and builds hardscape on a base that’s still level in five winters.

  • Family owned and operated, second generation — Luke walks the estimates and runs the crews
  • Licensed and insured
  • Design, installation and ongoing care under one roof
  • Straight answers on scope and price before we start
  • The same crew on your property, week to week
  • Locally based in Powell, not dispatched from an hour away
