About Landscape Management Group

We are proud of where we come from…

In the summer of 2008, Mike began traveling door to door in Centerville, Ohio with a wheelbarrow, a push mower, and a few hand tools to earn money for his college tuition. This soon turned into a viable business and was named Mike’s Landscaping, LLC. Once Mike could afford it, he bought his first pickup truck where he stored all his company’s equipment in the bed of this truck covered with a tarp until he could afford a small garage.

Fast forward a few years and you can now find a team of experts rebranded as Landscape Management Group serving customers in major cities throughout Ohio cities with a strong vision to continue to expand. With its home base right here in Columbus Ohio, Landscape Management Group has proven to be a trusted and reliable household name in the Greater Columbus area.

Whether you are seeking to see your outdoor dream project come to life through our Design-Build department or you are searching for Annual Commercial Landscaping & Winter services, we are dedicated to managing your project or service from A-Z with our expert workforce attention to detail, and high- level and intelligent project & account managers.

Landscape Management Group’s unwavering goal is to build a strong company that provides our workforce opportunity in times of economic uncertainty, while simultaneously raising the industry’s standard in how we serve commercial and residential clientele.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Big project. Lots of moving parts and Scott Sondels (sales department) spent many hours helping us plan and understand the process. The entire team that Mike has put together, has worked in concert to help us achieve our dream of having an outdoor space as beautiful as our indoor living. Take your time, plan and understand your project will be enjoyable for you as much as ours has been. I highly recommend Landscape Management Group.

He really went above and beyond to help me get exactly what I wanted within my price point.

I cannot wait to move forward with this project, his professionalism, persistence with patients got my commitment. Im

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I haven’t written a review in while but need to give a huge high-five to LMG for doing a multi-phased project in my backyard for a couple of years now. I can’t say enough about this company. Even with different crews working on the property, inclement weather or availability the effort keeps moving forward and I never feel like I’m dealing with a company made of puzzle pieces but a team in the know.

I have tons of confidence in LMG and they are my go to professional landscaping design company. I wasn't looking for a contractor but a longterm partner I can trust. I found it in LMG for a variety of reasons: Mike the owner truly cares about customers and is always available. Chad my salesman is seasoned and can turnaround my crazy long text messages into what’s needed for work to be done even on short notice on his Sunday afternoon.

The hardscaping teams are truly talented and they don’t just install mindlessly and ram in products but are quick to call out details that might need to be reviewed instead of moving forward to eliminate any re-work which I truly appreciate and they are very dedicated. Read that again: very dedicated. Tenured Supervisors like Justin and Mike even identified flaws in previous work I had done by another contractor and I paid LMG to fix it quickly. That alone shows they care.

My current Project Manager, Ryan is great! He’s detailed, punctual and always keeps me informed or updated. He runs a tight ship.  I work crazy hours and he’s always accommodating and has been a huge help in getting this phase completed in record time so my family can enjoy it for the summer. Thanks Ryan!

I would highly recommend getting a design done; you need this and i’m so glad they have this service. You won’t be sorry. I have been working with Trevin and he’s awesome. He took my requirements (which weren’t easy and literally out of thin air) and created what I envisioned. His designs are top notch. I could see everything in 3D and to scale. I’m able to see both the functional and technical designs. Plus items are labeled for easy identification. I now have a historical record that makes it easy to do future phases. No paper copies to hang in my garage! Digital files accessible from anywhere; love it. Trevin remembered details, I even forgot! Thanks LMG you guys rock (no pun intended)!! Photos shared when it’s all done.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I called LMG and spoke to Mike Farrell about my Japanese Maple. It appeared that the plant was not being properly maintained and was damaged.
Mike personally drove out, pruned the plant and shared on how the plant should be proper maintained. He also did this free of charge, and provided some feed and fertilizer for the plant and gave me peace of mind that it was salvageable.
Mike and his team are true landscapers who care, and I can’t say enough, how appreciative I am. I look forward to taking them on as our future landscapers.
Thanks Mike and Derek

Life outside LMG:

My family is my number one priority in life (work family included). Outside of work, I love riding bikes through downtown Columbus with my two amazing kids and checking out the city’s restaurants and festivals. I enjoy working out and playing basketball and volleyball (both of which I take way too seriously for someone who isn’t getting paid to play).

On my weekends, you can typically find me playing guitar for Rock City Church at one of the Columbus locations. Outside of that, I’m always up for a good hike or a trip abroad when I have the opportunity. Last but not least, I’m proud to be part of a fast-growing business team making serious moves across Central Ohio and beyond.

Chad Cooper

Sales Manager

Best part about working at LMG:
Chad brings a strong background in marketing and a passion for landscape design to the LMG team. After leadership roles across four states, he transitioned into landscape sales in Texas—and quickly found his niche. Now back in his hometown of Columbus, Chad values being part of a company that prioritizes craftsmanship and client collaboration.

When my family and I moved back to Ohio, I knew I wanted to join a company that valued craftsmanship over volume, a team that prioritized quality and the transformation of a client’s vision into something tangible. That’s exactly what I found at LMG.

For me, the most rewarding part of the job is guiding clients through the entire process, from the first idea to the final reveal. Working with such a talented design team to bring those dreams to life is what motivates me every day.

Life outside LMG:

When he’s not guiding clients through their outdoor transformations, Chad’s with his family or cheering on Ohio State football. Fun fact: he spent his early years traveling the country with his family’s music group.

I love matching the energy and excitement of my clients and guiding them through the process of creating top-notch outdoor environments. Water features are a personal favorite of mine, there’s just something special about incorporating them into a landscape that transforms the whole space.

Life outside LMG:
Outside of work, you’ll usually find me golfing, fly fishing, hunting, or hanging out with my bird dog. I’m a proud University of Kentucky grad but when football season rolls around, I’m all about the Buckeyes. Come basketball season though, it’s blue all the way.

Best part about working at LMG:
I’ve spent my career in IT, systems, and operations, and I enjoy environments where I can streamline, secure, and strengthen the tech people rely on every day. I joined LMG because the company is growing fast and needed someone who could build scalable systems and create clarity in the operational backbone. What I find most rewarding is knowing that the work I do behind the scenes helps every team move faster, communicate better, and stay protected. I appreciate that LMG values efficiency, growth, and real ownership — it aligns well with how I approach my work. It feels good contributing to a mission-driven company where the systems I build actually make people’s jobs easier.

I enjoy spending time with my family and being involved in my kids’ lives. I’m big on tech, problem-solving, and learning new tools or systems just for fun. I like staying active and getting outdoors when I can to metal detect. A fun fact about me: I have a habit of taking things apart just to understand how they work — and usually putting them back together better.

Kimberly Roe

Operations and Permitting Coordinator

Best part about working at LMG:
My husband works for LMG and so I’ve known Mike (the owner) and the company for several years and love the people and dedication to customers so when they needed a permit specialist I knew I had to apply. I enjoy the behind the scenes work to get people what makes them happy and love seeing the end result. LMG does a magical job at that from start to finish on every project!

Life Outside LMG:
I enjoy scrapbooking, cooking & baking, spending time with my husband and 3 kids, and watching college basketball & football. Fun fact: I was born and raised in a small town in Ohio rarely anyone has heard of (unless you are a die hard sports fan) due to the amount of pro athletes that came from there.
