Exscape Group is a design, build, and property care company headquartered in Novelty, and its Cleveland East branch works properties across Russell Township through every season. Landscape design, patios and hardscaping, pools, outdoor kitchens, lighting, lawn care, irrigation, and commercial grounds care all run through one local team, with one point of contact on every account.

Novelty is where this company started. Exscape Designs was founded here in 2004 and built its client base on repeat business and referrals, and the standards the group runs on today were set on these properties.

Headquartered on Kinsman Road in Novelty

The main office sits at 10121 Kinsman Road, on State Route 87.

Crews that leave from here are close to most Russell Township properties, which keeps the schedule tight in the growing season and response times short once snow arrives. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Landscape Design and Build in Novelty

Wooded lots and Chagrin Valley slopes shape most design work in Novelty.

Every project starts with a written scope and one plan for the whole property, so grading, drainage, planting, and hardscape are drawn together before anything is dug. Where the grade needs holding, custom retaining walls become part of the design, and ponds and water features can go in alongside the plantings.

Patios, Walkways, and Outdoor Structures

Paver and natural stone patios, walkways, and steps are built from the base up, with drainage and base depth planned before the first paver goes down so the surface stays level through Northeast Ohio winters.

Our patio and hardscape work is often paired with a pergola or pavilion, which puts shade over the dining area and adds weeks to the season on either side of summer.

Outdoor Kitchens and Fire Features

Outdoor kitchens are planned around how you cook and entertain, with grilling stations, prep counters, and bar seating placed where people gather.

Gas and electric lines are routed before the patio goes in, not cut in afterward. Many Novelty kitchens are built next to a custom fire pit or fireplace, so dinner and the fire share one patio.

Custom Pools and Spas

Inground pools are designed by a dedicated pool team inside Exscape Group, while the yard around them is drawn by the same designers handling the rest of the property.

Tanning ledges, spillover spas, decking, screening, and lighting sit on one plan, and equipment access is solved before the first machine comes up the drive.

Outdoor Lighting

Path, step, and accent lighting extend the hours you use the yard and give the house curb appeal after dark.

Fixtures are placed to light the walkways, the patio edge, and the trees worth seeing, without glare toward the neighbors or the road.

Lawn Care, Irrigation, and Property Maintenance

Mowing, fertilization, aeration, and seasonal treatments are scheduled around what the lawn needs that year.

Our lawn care programs pair with irrigation service and repair, so beds and turf get the right water as the season changes. Ongoing maintenance keeps the plantings, edges, and hardscape looking the way they did at install.
