Commercial and Residential Landscaping near Mentor, OH

Mentor is the largest city in Lake County, and its homes, retail corridors, and business properties all need landscapes that hold up to Lake Erie weather. Exscape Group’s Cleveland East branch serves both.

Snow and Ice Management Near Lake Erie

Lake-effect snow can arrive fast near the shore.

Patios and Walkways Built for Lake Weather

Freeze and thaw near the lake are hard on hardscape set on a thin base.

Paver patios and stone walkways are excavated, compacted, and graded to drain, and walls for sloped lakeside yards create level space where the ground slopes.

Outdoor Kitchens and Fire Features

Built-in grills, prep counters, and bar seating bring cooking outside, and a fire pit or outdoor fireplace keeps the patio in use into the cooler months.

Both are built in materials that match the hardscape.

Pergolas and Wind-Sheltered Seating

A pergola or pavilion gives the patio shade in summer and a sheltered corner when the wind picks up off the lake.

Each is designed to suit the house.

Landscape Design and Water Features

Design sets plantings, beds, lawn, and grading on one plan with the hardscape, using shrubs and perennials that handle lake winds and winters.

Garden ponds and fountains can be added where they suit the space.

Lighting, Lawn Care, and Irrigation

Path and accent lighting keeps walkways usable after dark, and outdoor lighting for homes highlights trees and the front of the house.

Mowing, fertilization, and aeration keep the lawn healthy, sprinkler repair and upkeep keeps water on schedule, and lawn treatment plans adjust through the season.

About Mentor, OH

Mentor is the most populous city in Lake County, on the south shore of Lake Erie, with roughly 47,450 residents and the 44060 and 44061 ZIP codes.

Settlement began in 1797. James A. Garfield bought a home here in 1876 and ran his 1880 front porch presidential campaign from it, and it is now the James A. Garfield National Historic Site.

Headlands Beach State Park is the longest public swimming beach in Ohio, and Mentor Marsh is a nature preserve beside Morton Community Park. Interstate 90, U.S. Route 20, and State Route 2 cross the city, and Mentor Avenue, home to Great Lakes Mall, is its main commercial corridor. Students attend the Mentor Exempted Village School District, including Mentor High School. Mentor was once known as the Rose Capital of the Nation, and its established neighborhoods and lakeside homes give property owners a wide range of yards.
