What a design covers
A designer looks at your whole yard: where the sun hits, where water goes, what you see from your windows, and how you want to use the space. Then they draw a plan.
- Planting beds and borders
- Privacy trees like arborvitae and evergreens
- Shade and flowering trees
- Perennial and native gardens
- Patios, paths and walls
- Lighting layout
Plants that do well here
Bucks County has cold winters and hot, humid summers. Native plants like coneflower, black-eyed Susan, switchgrass and serviceberry handle this well and help birds and bees.
Deer are common near parks like Tyler State Park and in wooded areas around New Hope and Washington Crossing. A designer can pick plants deer tend to leave alone.
Doing it in phases
You do not have to build the whole plan at once. Many homeowners do the patio one year and the gardens the next. The plan keeps every phase working together.
How it works
Getting help is simple. You fill out the short form on this page. We pass your request to one local landscaping company that serves your town. They call or text you to set up a visit.
At the visit, they walk your yard with you, listen to what you want, and look at things like slope, sun, soil and water flow. Then they give you a written quote. You decide if you want to move forward. There is no cost to ask.
- Step 1: Send the short form (about 1 minute).
- Step 2: A local landscaper reaches out to plan a visit.
- Step 3: You get a written quote for your yard.
- Step 4: You choose if and when to start.
What a good design gives you
A design is a plan you can build from. It shows where beds, paths, patios and trees go, and lists plants that fit your sun, soil and upkeep level.
- A layout drawing.
- Plant list sized for the space.
- Material choices for paths and patios.
- A phase plan if you want to build over time.
Questions to ask a designer
- Is design priced separately or included with install?
- How many revisions are included?
- Will the plan show mature plant sizes?
- Do you use native or deer-resistant plants?
