Our landscape improvement process
At Hanselman Landscape, our partnership with you begins by understanding your existing landscape and how it compares to the garden you imagine. We take the time to exchange ideas with you and seek joint inspiration as we plan landscape improvements that complement your home, your neighborhood, and your unique taste.
Often, the first and most important thing a landscape needs is ongoing maintenance from skilled gardeners. Although you may have lost hope that your garden can be restored, our expertise and experience in developing plants and landscapes may tell us otherwise. Under our stewardship, existing plants that may be unhealthy now can become beautiful again. With proper care, we can often rejuvenate failing plantings, incorporating them into a garden that will grow in health and beauty.
Landscape makeovers
In many cases, a landscape makeover is necessary because plants were improperly selected for your environment and site. Landscape improvements begin with diagnosing and resolving problems with your existing garden.
Because Hanselman Landscape’s expertise lies in the creation and nurturing of gardens for lasting health and beauty, you can be sure we will plan and plant thoughtfully, taking into account the climate, environmental conditions, insect, and deer issues, of the Philadelphia area. Your garden’s future health and success will guide every aspect of our design, plant selection, and installation process, helping you avoid major issues in the future. We will also recommend and provide expert care for your new or existing plants.
