Yards That Suit Irvington's Older Homes
Landscaping in Irvington starts with the houses. This east-side Indianapolis neighborhood holds one of the largest historic districts in Marion County, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987, with bungalows and revival-style homes on mature lots. Arbuckle Outdoor Living brings professional design and installation to those yards, from new beds to a paver patio out back, for homes and commercial properties alike, and we've been building outdoor spaces around Indianapolis since 1952.
Much of Irvington is also a city historic district. If your project changes what people see from the street, like a front fence or a new front walk, it's worth checking with the Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission before work begins.

Projects That Fit a Historic Neighborhood Lot
Older lots often have established trees and tight side yards, and that shapes what works. A paver walkway from the garage to the back door can make daily life easier, and a small patio tucked behind the house can turn an unused corner into a place to sit.
Central Indiana's clay soil holds water, and freeze-thaw winters push on anything built without a good base. We set pavers on a compacted base and plan drainage behind every retaining wall, so a low wall that squares off a sloped bed stays put. For evenings, low-voltage lighting along a path or up into a mature tree adds a lot without much fuss.
Front yards matter here too. Porches and street-facing beds are a big part of how these homes look, so a refreshed foundation planting, new shrubs and a layer of mulch can do as much as any backyard project. A fall cleanup gets the beds ready for winter and makes spring easier.
