I appreciated Eder's promptness, courtesy, efficiency and excellent skills. I should have taken 'before' photos so you can appreciate just what a great job he did. I will definitely be calling him again!

Landscaping in Crestwood, KY
Crestwood blends suburban comfort with country space — landscapes here can play to either side.
Forest Landscape LLC proudly serves homeowners throughout Crestwood, KY, bringing a custom design approach to every property. Whether you need a simple bed refresh, regular lawn care, or a complete landscape renovation, our team treats your yard like it's our own.
Crestwood is where Louisville's suburbs meet Oldham County farmland, and a lot of the lots reflect that — newer builds on graded slopes, mature homes on wooded acreage, and everything in between. We do a steady stream of new-build landscape installs (the builder package is almost never enough) and retaining walls to make sloped backyards actually usable.

Services available in Crestwood, KY
A closer look at what we offer — and how each service fits the way Kentucky properties actually live.
Softscaping
Softscaping
Softscaping is the living half of your landscape — the flower beds, plantings, and mulch that turn a plain yard into a place you actually want to spend time. At Forest Landscape LLC, we design beds and choose plants for the way Kentucky really behaves: humid summers, clay-heavy soils, and shoulder seasons that swing fast. Every install starts with proper bed prep and plant selection suited to your light, drainage, and how much upkeep you want to take on. The result is a landscape that looks intentional the day we finish and keeps getting better as it matures. From Middletown to Prospect, we build softscapes homeowners are proud to pull into.
What's included
Flower Bed Design & Planting
We design flower beds the way good rooms are designed — with structure, layers, and something working in every season. That means anchoring evergreens, perennials that come back stronger each spring, and pops of seasonal color where you'll see them most.
Tree & Shrub Planting
A tree or shrub planted in the right spot pays you back for decades. Planted in the wrong spot, it's a headache you'll deal with every year.
Mulch Installation
Fresh mulch — or decorative rock — is the fastest way to make a property look loved again. Beyond the clean, finished look, a proper ground-cover layer locks moisture in, holds weeds back, and protects roots through Kentucky's freeze-thaw cycles.
Tree Care
Tree Care
Mature trees are some of the most valuable features on a Kentucky property — and some of the most expensive to mess up. Forest Landscape LLC handles tree and shrub care with the patience and judgment those trees deserve. We prune for the species and the season, not with one-size-fits-all cuts. When a tree has to come down, we plan the removal around your beds, fences, and neighbors. And when a stump's in the way of the landscape you actually want, we grind it below grade so you can replant or rebuild. From legacy oaks in Middletown to overgrown shrubs in newer Crestwood builds, we treat every property like our own.
What's included
Tree & Shrub Trimming
Good pruning isn't just shaping — it's choosing which cuts will keep the plant healthy for the next ten years. We prune for structure, airflow, and form, and we time the work to the species so you're not stressing a tree right before it needs to be strong.
Tree & Shrub Removal
Some trees have to come down — they're dead, dying, leaning the wrong way, or sitting where the new patio is going. We plan removals carefully: rigging the drops so nothing lands on your fence, protecting nearby plantings, and hauling away every limb and chip before we leave.
Stump Removal
A leftover stump turns into a lawn obstacle, a tripping hazard, and a magnet for pests. We grind stumps several inches below grade so you can reseed, replant, or pour concrete right over the spot.
Hardscaping
Hardscaping
Hardscaping is the architecture of an outdoor space — the walls, walkways, and patios that decide how a property actually functions. Get it right and the rest of the landscape has somewhere to live. Get it wrong and you're fighting drainage, settling, and crumbling edges within a few years. Forest Landscape LLC builds hardscapes with the boring fundamentals nobody else likes to talk about: proper sub-base prep, real drainage, and edges that won't blow out the first hard winter. We work in natural stone, segmental block, pavers, and concrete — choosing the material that fits your home and the way you'll use the space. Across the Louisville metro, our hardscapes are built to age into the landscape, not break out of it.
What's included
Retaining Walls
Retaining walls do two jobs at once: they solve a grade problem and they add real architectural weight to your landscape. Done right, a wall lasts decades.
Patios & Walkways
A good patio earns its keep — it's where summer dinners happen, where you read on a Saturday morning, where the grill lives. We build patios and walkways in natural stone, pavers, and concrete, laid on a properly compacted base so they stay flat through Kentucky's freeze-thaw cycles.
General Hardscaping
Not every hardscape project fits neatly into a category. Steps and landings between grades, fire pit areas, bed edging in stone or steel, sitting walls, planters that double as benches, drainage features that finally fix that one wet corner of the yard — we build the structural pieces that make a property work.
Lawn & Turf
Lawn & Turf
A great lawn looks effortless — but it almost never is. Soil prep, the right grass variety, proper watering, and a maintenance plan that respects the season are what separate a yard you're proud of from one you avoid looking at. Forest Landscape LLC handles the whole arc: building lawns from bare ground with sod or seed, repairing thin spots and damaged turf, and keeping established lawns dense, green, and weed-free through the year. We choose turf grasses suited to your sun exposure and how much traffic the lawn really sees, then back it up with maintenance that actually moves the needle. From new builds in Crestwood to legacy lawns in Prospect, we give Kentucky homeowners turf that earns the compliments.
What's included
Sod & Grass Installation
Sod is the fastest way to go from bare soil — or a lawn you've given up on — to a thick, green yard you're proud of. We start with what matters: removing the old turf, grading so water actually drains, and amending the soil so the new roots have something to grab.
Seeding & Overseeding
Seeding is the right call when you want a denser lawn, want to fill thin or worn-out areas, or want to repair damage without the cost of full sod. We match the seed blend to your light, traffic, and soil — then prep the ground properly so the seed actually contacts soil instead of bouncing off thatch.
Lawn Maintenance
A healthy lawn is the result of small, steady care — not one big push every spring. Our maintenance keeps your yard dense and green through the year: regular mowing at the right height for the season, edging that gives the whole property a finished look, weeding to keep beds and turf clean, and seasonal cleanups that clear leaves, debris, and old growth before they damage the turf underneath.
Yard & Seasonal Clean-Up
Sometimes a yard just needs a reset. Leaves piled in the beds, sticks across the lawn, overgrown edges, a season's worth of debris in the corners — we come in and put the property back in order.
Client reviews
What our clients say
I hired this company to do a major cleanup in my courtyard including, weeding, trimming and hauling away the debris. They responded promptly to my inquiry, provided an estimate and completed the job on the second day. Professional, fast, on time and I could not be more satisfied with their work.
Terry Ford
I had a great experience with Forest Landscape! They installed a beautiful brick edging around my yard and created a clean, well-designed flower bed with black mulch. The attention to detail was excellent, and everything turned out exactly how I imagined. The crew was professional, efficient, and easy to work with. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone looking to upgrade their landscaping!
Cintya Lara
Mr. Gonzalez and his workers did an excellent job. He was prompt with his estimate and was able to accommodate my schedule. I am very pleased with the results and would highly recommend him.
Deacon Kyrill Schaefer
Eder and his team are incredible at what they do. I had concrete poured to extend an existing patio and as well as flower beds installed with paver edging. Eder is very friendly and works very hard to ensure you are happy with the work (spoiler alert: you will be happy with it). They are professional, respectful, and trustworthy. I would definitely recommend Eder & team for all your landscaping needs!
AJ
Forest Landscape did an excellent job on our patios. They weeded, cleaned and grouted in between existing flagstones and then sealed. Craftsmanship was excellent. Mr. Gonzales and his crew were courteous and punctual. I highly recommend Forest Landscape.
Kat Lewis
Eder first came out to look at the space that I wanted landscape done. He sent a detailed estimate of what would be included within 2 days. I needed to fill in space that had arborvitaes that 2 had previously died. He installed 3 for me, leaving room for them to grow, and 1 at the front to fill the empty space. Also put in a dogwood tree. Nice and professional, and job was performed 1 wk after I accepted the offer! He did a wonderful job! Loving my back yard!
Deborah Smith
Eder and his crew did a GREAT job on our yard. We had them do a big project in our backyard. Awesome work, good communication, wonderful value. Would highly recommend!
John Osterhoudt
Eder was responsive, professional and did a beautiful job at a reasonable price. I will use him again.
