Landscaping in Indianapolis
Landscapes and Patios Built for Indiana Yards
Arbuckle Outdoor Living handles landscaping in Indianapolis and the towns around it, for homeowners and commercial properties alike. We're outdoor living contractors as much as landscapers: we design and install planting beds, paver patios, retaining walls, lighting and full backyard living spaces. Every project starts with a free quote, and you can see everything we do on our outdoor living services page.
What We Do
Landscape and Hardscape Services
Most yards need a little of both: soft landscaping that grows, and hard surfaces that hold up. If you're comparing landscaping companies in Indianapolis, ask whether they do both. We do, so the beds, the pavers and the walls can be planned together.
Paver Patios and Retaining Walls
Patios and walls are a big part of what we build. We use pavers, not poured slabs, set over a compacted base so the surface stays level through freeze-thaw winters. A paver patio gives you room for a table, a grill or a fire pit, and a paver walkway gets you there without muddy shoes.
Retaining walls turn a sloped yard into usable space. We build block, natural stone and boulder walls, and we repair walls that have started to lean. Central Indiana's clay soil holds water, so drainage behind the wall matters as much as the stone you see. Our hardscape work carries a warranty on labor.

Residential and Commercial Landscaping
Every property needs something different. For homeowners, that might mean a new patio off the back door, fresh beds along the front walk, a wall that finally tames the slope. We also work for HOAs, offices, retail sites and apartment communities.
