ABOUT HARRIS BROTHERS LANDSCAPING AND SERVICES
Harris Brothers Landscaping and Services is a family owned landscaping company rooted in Erlanger, KY, built on a legacy of hard work, personal accountability, and a deep commitment to the Northern Kentucky community. Co-owned by brothers Kobe and Jacob Harris, every property we touch reflects the values passed down by the father who started it all.
Our Roots Run Deep
A Landscaping Company History Built on Family and Grit
Kobe Harris picked up his first mower at age nine. By age 14, his father, a fellow business owner, handed him his first professional equipment and drew up the company's original logo. That early investment planted a seed that would grow into something far bigger than either of them imagined at the time. When Kobe's father passed away in 2021, he left behind more than memories. He left a van, a vision, and an unfinished blueprint. Kobe spent time in trade school rebuilding that van, then sold it to fund the equipment needed to launch Harris Brothers Landscaping and Services as a formal business in 2023. Today, Kobe and his brother Jacob run the company side by side, honoring their father's entrepreneurial spirit with every job they complete. The 12 years of experience behind this local landscaping business in Erlanger include every season of that journey, from the first residential lawn at age nine to managing a 100-condo, 7-acre HOA community in Florence, KY.

What Sets Us Apart
Owner-Operated, Community-Driven, and Built to Last
When you hire Harris Brothers, you are not dealing with a call center or a rotating crew of strangers. Kobe Harris, the landscaper behind this business, is on the job. That owner-operated presence means every property gets the level of attention that only comes when your name is on the line. We specialize in high-difficulty work that other companies walk away from, including overgrown yards, storm debris, large-scale land clearing, and complex HOA properties. Our client base is roughly 85% commercial and HOA, and we have the equipment, the crew size, and the field experience to handle multi-acre sites efficiently. For residential homeowners, we bring that same professional standard to properties of every condition, including yards that have been neglected for years or flagged for city fines. Beyond the work itself, we are genuinely invested in the Northern Kentucky community. We offer discounts to veterans, first responders, and medical workers. We have cut grass for free for a veteran facing municipal penalties. We donated $1,000 to a local car show benefiting victims of violence. We hire people who need a second chance and help them build careers. This is not marketing language. It is how we operate every single day across Erlanger, Florence, Hebron, Taylor Mill, Independence, and the wider Greater Cincinnati region.

Common Questions About Harris Brothers Landscaping
How long has Kobe Harris been working in the landscaping industry?
Kobe Harris has been working in landscaping for 12 years. He started mowing lawns at age nine and began professional work at age 14 under the guidance of his father, a fellow business owner. Those formative years are included in his cumulative experience. Harris Brothers Landscaping and Services was formally established as a legal business in 2023, but the hands-on knowledge behind it goes back well over a decade.Is Harris Brothers Landscaping co-owned and actively operated by the Harris family?
Yes. Harris Brothers Landscaping and Services is co-owned and actively operated by brothers Kobe and Jacob Harris. Kobe is on the job site directly, which means clients deal with an owner, not a middleman. The business was built as a tribute to their father, who passed away in 2021, and that family-first approach shapes everything from how jobs are managed to how employees are treated. Plans are also underway to add a dedicated Landscape Refresh crew led by family members.What areas does Harris Brothers serve in Northern Kentucky and Ohio?
Harris Brothers serves a broad area across Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati. In Kentucky, primary service areas include Erlanger, Florence, Hebron, Taylor Mill, Independence, and Boone, Kenton, and Campbell Counties. In Ohio, the team serves Cincinnati, Reading, and Norwood. Hamilton and Westchester counties are currently excluded from active advertising. For large commercial or mulch jobs, exceptions to the standard service radius may be considered.Does Harris Brothers take on badly overgrown or neglected properties?
Yes, and it is one of the things the company specifically focuses on. Harris Brothers positions itself as an overgrown yard specialist, taking on high-difficulty projects involving heavy debris, tall grass, vines, and long-term neglect that many standard maintenance companies decline. Residential clients have come to the team after receiving city fines for property violations, and the results have been significant enough to bring clients to tears. If your yard has been described as a jungle, this is the right team to call.Does Harris Brothers offer discounts for veterans, first responders, or medical workers?
Yes. Harris Brothers offers a 10% discount for veterans, first responders, and medical staff as a direct acknowledgment of their service. The company has also provided pro-bono lawn care for a veteran facing city fines in Independence, KY. New clients can also take advantage of a 20% discount on one-time cleanups, and a Buy 3, Get 1 Free option is available for monthly service packages. Flexible payment installments are offered for clients who need them.Can Harris Brothers handle large commercial or HOA landscaping contracts?
Absolutely. Commercial and HOA clients make up roughly 85% of Harris Brothers' current business. The company manages a flagship HOA contract in Florence, KY, covering a 100-condo community across 7 acres, completed with a crew of five in 5 to 6 hours per visit. The team is equipped with zero-turn and push mowers built for high-volume properties and has the operational structure to take on multi-acre sites consistently. Property managers looking for a reliable, single point of contact should reach out directly.Does Harris Brothers provide emergency storm cleanup services?
Yes. Harris Brothers offers 24/7 storm cleanup services for fallen trees, debris, and storm damage. This around-the-clock availability is especially valuable for HOA boards and property managers who need to maintain safe access routes and reduce liability after severe weather. The team has responded to major local storm events, including one incident where they cleared eight fallen trees for homeowners. Emergency response work frequently transitions into long-term maintenance contracts for clients who need a dependable year-round partner.What services does Harris Brothers not currently offer?
To maintain quality and focus on what the team does best, Harris Brothers does not currently offer irrigation installation, hardscaping such as retaining walls or concrete work, outdoor lighting, overseeding, or chemical weed control and fertilization. Weed control is a planned future service, pending acquisition of a spray license.
