LANDSCAPE
DESIGN
A cohesive
landscape design and professional installation adds value to
your property with a better return on investment than just about
any other remodeling project.
More about value.
We spend the time asking questions that drive the design of your property. How do you and your family use the property now? How would you like to use it in the future? What materials are you familiar with, what plants are your favorites, what are your favorite colors? Do you anticipate putting an addition on the house at any point in time?
Are you considering a pool? With the gathered information a preliminary plan is developed and presented. With your approval the plan is finalized and you are presented with proposals for the various aspects of the plan based on your priorities.

HORTICULTURAL
SERVICES
We care
about what we plant. We employ Pennsylvania Certified
Horticulturalists. Whether its weeding, pruning, mulching, or
deadheading we can establish a program based on your needs. You
may enjoy driving into your driveway every evening to look at
your garden and unwind from a long day at work;, however you may
not have the time to maintain it. We are happy to care for your
landscape with a weekly visit to cut the grass, weed the beds,
prune the shrubs, etc. or we can edge the beds and mulch in the
spring with periodic visits during the season to maintain the
beds and shrubs. We know plants and how to care for them. Based on your participation we will provide as many visits per month as required to maintain your garden.

WATER
FEATURES & PONDS
A formal fountain,
reflecting pool, or a natural pond and waterfall: the sound of water in a garden is truly relaxing. Natural
filtration systems and skimmers help to keep the pond clean
while limiting the amount of time required to maintain it.
In addition to installing beautiful water features we also
maintain them if you prefer the hands off approach. Many
of our clients enjoy the beauty of colorful Koi or fish in their
water features.

PLANTING
Whether it is
the installation of the entire design or just planting one specimen tree, we select the best quality trees, shrubs, groundcovers, perennials, vines, and annuals available and back that up with a guarantee. We do our very best to install plants that are appropriate for the environment.
Our philosophy equates the soil of your garden to the foundation of your house so we take the time to prepare it accordingly for the plants that are to be installed. There are few exceptions, but in most cases we find the soil depleted of organic matter and nutrients. We compensate for this by adding compost and organic fertilizers and roto-till
them into the soil. The soil preparation process
alleviates compaction and allows the newly installed plants to
thrive.

variety, quality, and versatility, low voltage lighting systems
extend the enjoyment of your landscape well into the evening
hours 365 days a year. Lighting systems allow you to enjoy your
landscape during the evening hours outside during warmer months
and from inside as well during the colder months. Lighting
systems are designed to bring out the beauty of your home.
Advances in technology have eliminated many of the problems
associated with the low voltage lighting of the past and newer
halogen bulbs can last up to 10,000 hours limiting the amount of
maintenance required.
Solid material
fixtures such a bronze, copper, and stainless steel blend with
the architecture and landscape while providing life long
service.

PAVERS,
PATIOS, & WALLS
Stone,
brick, and pavers are all wonderful, long-lasting materials that
create intimate and enduring outdoor spaces. Choice of materials
is often based on existing site elements, the architecture, and
desires of our clients. Patios are integral parts of any
landscape and the center of outdoor entertainment. Our
design process asks questions such as what size table are you
planning on using? How often do you entertain? How many people
do you typically entertain?
