Trees, Shrubs and Flower Beds Planted to Last

Garden installation is about more than putting plants in the ground. It's picking the right spot, preparing the soil and giving each plant room to grow. Arbuckle Outdoor Living plants trees, shrubs and flower beds for Indianapolis homeowners, from a single custom bed by the front door to plantings that are part of a full landscape installation.

Tree Planting Service

A tree is a long-term decision. Planted too close to the house or under power lines, it becomes a problem later. We help you choose a spot with room for the tree to grow and plant it at the right depth so it can root into central Indiana's heavy clay soil.

Shrub Installation and Flower Bed Installation

Shrubs give a yard its structure: they frame the house, soften corners and add privacy. Flower beds bring the color. We plant both: filling an empty bed, replacing overgrown shrubs or adding a new bed along a paver walkway.

Watering Plans and Warranty

The first season is the hardest on new plants. Roots are still small, and one dry July can undo a spring planting. Ask about our watering plans and warranty when you get your quote.

Questions & Answers

Planting Questions

Still have a question? Call or text (317) 374-0258

Do you warranty new plants?

Ask about our watering plans and warranty when you request your quote.

Can you plant from my own plan?

Yes. If you already have a planting plan, we can install it. We can also suggest changes if a plant won't suit the sun or soil where it's going.

What plants do well in Indianapolis yards?

Plants that handle heavy clay soil, wet springs, hot summers and freeze-thaw winters. Many native Indiana plants fit that list. We help you match plants to the sun and soil in each part of your yard.

Can you plant around an existing patio or walkway?

Yes. Beds along a patio or walk soften the hardscape and tie it into the yard. We can plan them as part of a landscape design.

Do you add mulch after planting?

We can finish new beds with mulch, which helps hold moisture and suppress weeds while plants settle in.
