Written quote provided before work starts, no surprise changes.
A lot of Evansville yards sit somewhere between "needs work" and "we keep putting it off." Maybe the beds never got finished when the house was built. Maybe a previous planting didn't survive. Maybe you bought the house and inherited bare dirt and a couple of struggling shrubs. Whatever the starting point, a full landscape installation gives you a yard that looks intentional, holds up through Indiana summers, and doesn't demand constant attention to stay that way.
Hausmann Outdoor Solutions handles landscape installations in Evansville, Newburgh, and Chandler. Zach and the crew do the planning, the digging, the planting, and the finishing, so you're not piecing together multiple contractors to get a complete result.
What's Included in a Landscape Installation
Every project is different, but a typical landscape installation from Hausmann Outdoor Solutions covers:
Bed shaping and edging so planting areas have clean, defined lines.
Soil prep so plants go into ground that can actually support them.
Tree, shrub, and perennial planting selected for Evansville's climate and your site conditions.
Mulch installation to hold moisture and finish the beds.
Decorative rock or ground cover where mulch isn't the right fit.
Coordination with hardscape work if your project includes a paver patio or retaining wall.
If you don't have a plan yet, that's fine. We also offer landscape design as a starting point before installation begins.
Our Process
01
Walk the property together
We look at sun exposure, drainage, existing plants worth keeping, and what you actually want the yard to do. A yard in Chandler on a slope has different needs than a flat lot in a Newburgh subdivision.
02
Put a plan on paper
You get a clear scope of work and a written quote before anything happens. No surprises after the crew shows up.
03
Prep the site
We edge and shape the beds, remove anything that's coming out, and amend the soil where needed. Getting the ground right matters more than most people realize.
04
Install plants and materials
Trees, shrubs, perennials, and ground covers go in at the right depth and spacing. We're not rushing through this part.
05
Finish with mulch or rock
A clean finish layer ties the beds together, slows weeds, and keeps soil moisture where the roots need it.
06
Walk it with you
Before we leave, you see the finished work and we answer any questions about what was planted and how to keep it going.
Why Soil Prep and Bed Shaping Matter
Two steps that homeowners often underestimate are soil preparation and bed shaping. They're not the most visible parts of the job, but they affect how everything else holds up over time.
Soil preparation means more than loosening the dirt before planting In many Evansville yards, the top layer is compacted or the composition doesn't drain well. Putting new plants into that kind of ground without addressing it first leads to root problems, standing water around plant bases, and poor growth even with regular watering. When we prep the soil correctly, the plants have a better chance of establishing in the first season and filling out the way they're supposed to.
Bed shaping is what gives a landscape its structure Soft, undefined edges between a planting bed and the lawn make the whole yard look unfinished, even if the plants themselves are healthy and well-chosen. A clean, consistent edge tells the eye where one thing ends and another begins. It also makes routine maintenance easier because there's a clear line to follow when trimming.
These aren't steps we rush through to get to the more visible work They're the foundation that the rest of the project sits on.

Choosing the Right Plants for Evansville
Plant selection matters a lot more than most people think when they're planning a landscape installation.
A plant that looks great at the nursery can struggle or fail entirely if it's not suited to Indiana's climate, your yard's drainage, or the amount of sun a particular bed gets.
When we select plants for a project in Evansville, we're thinking about summer heat, winter cold, how much water a spot naturally holds, and how much maintenance the homeowner actually wants to do.
Some shrubs look tidy with minimal pruning. Others need regular attention to stay in shape. Some perennials come back reliably year after year. Others need dividing or replacing more often than most homeowners expect.
We'll talk through those trade-offs with you during the planning stage so the plant selections match the way you want to use your yard, not just how you want it to look on day one.
Signs You Need a Landscape Installation
You don't have to be starting from bare dirt to need a full installation. These are common situations where it makes sense:
Your beds are overgrown, misshapen, or full of plants that have died out and been removed
You've lived in the house for years and the yard still doesn't look the way you imagined it would
You're getting a new patio or retaining wall and want the plantings to match
Erosion or poor drainage has damaged existing landscaping and you need to start over in those areas
You're selling and want the yard to show well, or you just bought and want to make it yours
If the situation is closer to routine upkeep than a full installation, our lawn care and seasonal cleanup services may be the better fit. Check our service areas page to confirm we cover your address.
What A Landscape Installation Costs
There's no honest way to name a number without knowing your yard
Project size, plant selection, site conditions, and whether hardscape work is involved all affect the total. A small bed refresh costs a fraction of what a whole-property installation runs.
What we can tell you is that you'll have a written quote in hand before any work starts.
Nothing gets added on after the fact without your approval. If the full scope is more than you want to spend right now, we can talk through how to phase the work so the most important parts get done first.

Do I need a design plan before you can install anything?
Not always. Simpler projects, like replanting a few beds or adding shrubs along a foundation, don't require a formal design. For larger or more complex yards, starting with a landscape design helps avoid costly changes mid-project. We can tell you which approach makes sense after seeing the property.
What plants do you typically use for Evansville yards?
We stick with plants that are suited to Indiana's climate and your specific site conditions, things like sun exposure, soil type, and how much water that part of the yard naturally gets. We'll talk through options that look good and hold up without requiring a lot of intervention once they're established.
Can you install landscaping at the same time as a patio or retaining wall?
Yes, and that's often the most efficient way to do it. Coordinating hardscape and planting work at the same time means the finished yard looks like one cohesive project rather than two separate jobs that don't quite match. Take a look at our paver patio and retaining wall pages for more on those services.
How long does a typical landscape installation take?
It depends on the scope. A smaller bed project might wrap in a day. A full property installation with multiple planting areas takes longer. Once we've seen the site and scoped the work, we'll give you a realistic timeframe along with the written quote.
Do you serve areas outside of Evansville?
We also serve Newburgh and Chandler. If you're in one of those areas, the process and pricing approach is the same. Call us or check our service areas page to confirm your address is in our coverage area.
