Buckeye Landscape Service

What Buckeye Landscape Service does

Buckeye Landscape Service is a third-generation, family-owned commercial and residential landscaping company founded in 1966 and headquartered in Blacklick, Ohio, in the Columbus metropolitan area. The firm delivers a full-suite of in-house services covering year-round landscape maintenance, irrigation and pond management, landscape construction and hardscape, design/planting installations, and 24/7 snow-and-ice removal. Its primary customer segment is commercial properties — office buildings, parking lots, and managed real estate — with a secondary residential segment. Operations run from three Ohio locations (Blacklick, Dublin, New Albany), with the company maintaining 318 acres, a 15-truck fleet, and an 18-person team that averages over 15 years of tenure.

The business operates a hybrid revenue model combining recurring contracted services (landscape maintenance, irrigation management, 24/7 snow and ice removal with continuous monitoring and dispatch) with one-time project revenue (custom installations, hardscape, construction, pressure washing, sealing, and repairs). Pricing is quote-based and tailored per property, with no public pricing tiers. Go-to-market is direct field sales targeting commercial and residential property owners in the Columbus, OH metro, supported by a website contact funnel, phone (614-866-0088), and email. Industry memberships in NAIOP, SIMA, the Columbus Landscape Association, and the New Albany Chamber of Commerce are used to credential the firm for commercial real estate buyers.

There is no proprietary technology platform, AI/ML capability, app, API, or patent portfolio disclosed; the business is a traditional field-services operation with equipment, labor, and relationship-driven execution. Trade memberships and 30+ five-star reviews reinforce brand credibility, while long-tenured staff and multi-decade client relationships (exemplified by the featured L. Thompson enterprise testimonial) point to stable, recurring revenue rather than rapid scaling.
