The south side of Indianapolis runs from Homecroft and Southport up through Edgewood, South Perry, and Linden Wood, covering zip codes 46217 and 46227. It is a dense, established part of the city with older housing stock, mature trees, and residential neighborhoods where curb appeal is visible from the street every single day.
Harris and Son’s Landscaping serves homeowners and businesses throughout the Indianapolis south side year-round. This is our home territory. Bobby Harris built the business here and the crew knows these neighborhoods

Built for South Side Properties
Older south side lots tend toward compact clay soil, heavy tree coverage in neighborhoods like Linden Wood and Hill Valley, and tight lot lines that require precise edging and cleanup. Properties in Southdale, Southern Dunes, and Glenns Valley often deal with drainage issues that show up as low spots, pooling water, and turf that thins out every summer.
We address the underlying issues, not just the surface appearance. A lawn that looks good in May and struggles by July usually has a soil or drainage problem underneath it.
