About us

Thornton Landscape provides comprehensive landscape services from design through installation. We work with residential, commercial and developer customers throughout the Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky and Greater Dayton region. Thornton Landscape was founded in 1961 by the Thornton family, in Montgomery, Ohio. Rick Doesburg began working for the company in 1969 and bought the company from the Thorntons when they retired in 1999. He now serves as the CEO. Thornton Landscape has been designing, installing and maintaining beautiful and quality outdoor spaces for more than 50 years. Through the decades, many customers and team members have become family and indispensable to the organization. The 50th Anniversary Edition of the Ground Cover newsletter features some of the highlights of the company. Like Rick Doesburg, many of Thornton Landscape’s 35 employees have been a part of this family-owned company for more than 25 years. They are distinguished in the green industry through extensive education and training and many of them have earned certifications as Landscape Professionals, Landscape Architects and Landscape Technicians. Rick Doesburg and his son Andy Doesburg, president, have served in numerous leadership positions in the industry. Rick served as Associates Council President for the Cincinnati Homebuilders Association in 1983 and 2000. He has also held the position of president for PLANET and Ohio Nursery and Landscape Association (ONLA). Following in his father’s footsteps, Andy has also served as president of the Associates Council of the Greater Cincinnati Homebuilders Association in 2007. And he was the ONLA president in 2009.

They are pleasant and they work well together. They are doing a great job so far. Bob, the on site supervisor, has been great. Everything looks great.
Description of Work: They are re-doing my deck and they are putting a roof over the deck. They are also fixing the pavers as well.

We had concerns about the appropriateness of a tree given the size of our lot. We discussed this with him several times and told him we had consulted arborists who concurred with our concerns that the gumballs will stop up the gutters and cause issues. He refused to replace the tree and was generally uninterested in our concerns.
Description of Work: The landscaper provided trees for a new development in which we purchased a condo

I let them know I also had a tree in the back that had broken toward top and fallen. They told me to get it next to the road and they would take it away for me. They did exactly what they said they would. They also asked if there was anything else they could help me with.
Description of Work: We had considerable tree damage. Thornton came through right away, told us what to do to get it picked up. Did it themselves, came through with a blower. They cleaned up every bit, came through, removed it all.

They're pricey, but it's worth every dime. The quality of their work is unbelievable. It looks like I have a private gardener. If all companies were this reliable, I would be a happy camper.
Description of Work: They installed our landscaping, and they've done limited maintenance for us for a few years now. This is only available to past customers. The charge here includes lawn mowing, weekly trimming, weeding, and mulching. They take care of irrigation service and landscape lighting, as well as the pond on our property. They are one-stop shopping for me. They also did a magnificent job on the design. They are top quality for someone who is looking for phenomenal design service.

BEGAN WITH AN INEXPERIENCED DESIGNER ANGIE MEDARY, IN WEEKS WE WERE WORKING ON THE DESIGN SOLELY WITH OWNER RICK DOESBURG. HE INFORMED US HE WAS A DIFFICULT TO WORK WITH, THAT WAS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. CREW LEADER WAS DAVID HUPMAN, PLEASANT TO WORK WITH. RICK HAD UNDERESTIMATED THE DIRT THAT NEEDED TO BE REMOVED (5 LARGE TRUCK LOADS AS IT TURNED OUT). RICK TOLD DAVID TO KEEP IT THERE UNTIL THE END. THE JOB COMPLETELY FELL APART AFTER THAT. THE PATIO WAS A FOOT TOO SMALL, 6 INCHES TOO SHORT, WHEN IT WAS CORRECTED, THE SUB-BASE WAS NOT SUFFICIENT OR COMPACTED. THE SUBCONTRACTOR RICK HIRED FOR THE STAIRS COULD NOT READ A PRINT. THE STAIR PROBLEMS: INSTALLED 3 STRINGERS (SHOULD BE 5), WAY OUT OF LEVEL, INSTALLED EXTRA STEP NOT ON THE PRINT THAT PUT THE STAIRS INTO THE PATIO, NOT BLIND NAILED. AT LEAST WE HAD ADDED AN ADDENDUM TO THE CONTRACT THAT COVERED US. THE STAIRS WERE REDONE. PLANTING WAS POOR FIT/CHOICE (GETTING TOO BIG) AND MANY MALFORMED TREES. WE ARE HAVING IT REDONE.
Description of Work: INSTALLED LARGE PAVER PATIO, STAIRS, TREES, SHRUBS, RETAINING WALL WITH MULCH.
