Under the Tree Design

Steve Maravich created a landscape design/solution for me which solved all of my issues and looked great. He was wonderful to work with and took care of all details. I was very happy with the results. Highly recommend Steve!

We used Steve’s services to coordinate the replacement of a 30 year old brick patio with bluestone pavers in 2018. The demolition of the old patio and installation of the new bluestone went very well. After 5 years the new patio has held up very well with absolutely no change in appearance or settling of stones. We would definitely use Steve again should a project requiring his services come about - he was very responsive and managed the project perfectly. We appreciated his efforts.

Steve is a communicative person who desires to get the job done to your satisfaction. Steve designed our patio and firepit area as well as some landscaping. His design was creative and complimented our home and outdoor area. we highly recommend Steve and Under the Tree Design.

As someone who does not have a green thumb, I wanted to be sure I had a landscape architect who could help us with the design for our yard. We're in a relatively new development and most of the landscaping is the basic package that the builder planted. As I was preparing for retirement, I wanted to be sure to have the perfect oasis where I could enjoy my new yard and not have to worry about plants that I would not be able to maintain. Steve Maravich was the consummate professional. He took time to listen to what we wanted and to present creative ideas that would delight us. And delighted we are! It is such a treat to pull up to my home and see the difference his plans have made on the curb appeal of our home... and even more so when I sit on my patio and take in the outdoor "room" that's been created for us. I could not recommend Steve highly enough.

My experience with Steve Maravich exceeded my expectations. I wanted to make changes and improvements in my back yard and patio. He designed a beautiful new patio and landscape to surround it and he was wonderful to work with from start to finish. Steve carefully listened to my project needs, provided an expert plan and followed through with expertise to complete the project. I also appreciated the tips he offered to maintain the gardens and keep the patio looking good going forward. I would definitely recommend him for any landscaping project!

We could not be more happy with our landscape design from Steve! He has great suggestions and sent us a beautiful drawing that we can reference throughout the construction of our project. We will be referring our friends and family to Steve's company if they are doing a landscape project in the future!

My wife and I have worked with Steve on multiple projects in Italian Village and I recommend him highly. He's absolutely reliable and his work is amazing. Steve always takes the time to listen and design to meet your home and your needs. Whenever I have a project, he's my first phone call. Starting up another project now.

Under the Tree Designed the yard of my new house 12 years ago, and to see the landscape grow into what Steve envisioned is truly amazing! The plants, beds, and trees matured and provided the natural canopies and anchor points that create great views from all angles. Steve took the time to understand what we wanted and had suggestions that took our yard to the next level!

Steve Maravich of Under the Tree is amazing! We worked together to design my backyard (complete makeover), and he had an incredible way of listening to what I described I wanted, and then interpreting it into exactly my style and taste and budget. He brought creative and practical ideas which made my backyard a true oasis, that is just right for me. He is also a super guy and fun to talk with as you plan and evolve the design. Thank you Steve!

Steve is a talented, creative, and dedicated Landscape Architect. My relationship with Steve started back in 2012 when I needed a major landscape update in the front of my house. From the moment we first met, I was impressed by his professionalism, passion, courtesy, and design skills. As time passed and I got to know Steve better, I saw how hard he worked and how dedicated and concerned he was for my project and for me. He always made time to meet or to talk on the phone to discuss drawings, and he always was patient and gave good advice, support and suggestions. If I wanted to look at some of his different projects to get an idea of what particular materials looked like in a completed design, he drove me around the city of Columbus to view them. Steve always went out of his way and above and beyond to assist me. He planted flowers and shrubs for me one evening when I needed help. He put me in touch with a gifted mason when I was not able to find anyone to apply stone veneer to my bridge. Many times he met me at Lang Stone or Semco Outdoors to pick out stone samples when I was having difficulty deciding on a stone, and on a few occasions, even offered to pick up the stone samples and drop them off at my house. In addition, I could call Steve anytime to discuss flowers, trees, and plants for the landscape. If I needed help with anything, no matter how big or small, Steve would be there to assist. He also worked really hard to figure out how to create a beautiful landscape within my budget. Steve's hard work, dedication, attention to detail, great creative imagination, and personal approach set him apart from others. For the last ten years, I turned to him whenever I needed a project done because he cared about providing quality landscaping for me and I knew it would be a good experience. Steve transformed my landscape. I have three elegant retaining walls with natural stone steps that lead down to a stone bridge. He added slab boulders along the steps to look like outcroppings so that the steps blend into the hill. He planted juniper to grow over the boulders in order to make the rocks look as if they had always been a natural part of the landscape. I wanted to use a lot of native plants and trees in other areas and was impressed by his knowledge of them and the end design. Steve paid a lot of attention to the detail of plants and hardscape, not only what they looked like during the day, but also at night so I could enjoy my outdoor space after dark, too. The lighting looks lovely at night from the road. Overall, I love the beauty and peacefulness of the environment he created. I receive a lot of nice compliments about my landscaping. I have hired Steve for another big project in 2022, and I am very excited to work with him! I highly recommend Under the Tree Design for any landscape design work you need to be done at your home.
