REFINED BEAUTY, DESIGNED FOR EASE

Minimizing garden maintenance is a common priority for many clients. At Hanselman Landscape, we specialize in low maintenance garden design, creating landscapes that are as effortless as they are beautiful. Through careful plant selection, strategic planting, and expert care, we design gardens that thrive with minimal intervention.
  
Skillful assistance from our knowledgeable team aids in garden maintenance tasks to keep your garden looking its best. Anything worthwhile requires an investment of time and care. With proper planning, however, it is possible to enjoy delightful outdoor living spaces within realistic schedule constraints.

CHOOSE PLANTS CAREFULLY

Allow Hanselman Landscape and Gardens to help you select plants that grow more slowly and require less regular tending. One strategy of a low maintenance garden design is to use fewer varieties of plants that serve multiple purposes and plant only what we can manage together.

ENLIST THE HELP OF EXPERTS

Anything worthwhile requires an investment of time and care. With proper planning, however, it is possible to enjoy delightful outdoor living spaces within realistic schedule constraints. Many of our clients limit their involvement in garden maintenance by trusting Hanselman Landscape’s maintenance crews to maintain their valuable trees and shrubs regularly.

BENEFITS OF LOW MAINTENANCE GARDEN DESIGN

A well-designed low maintenance garden blends effortless beauty with practical ease. By selecting slow-growing plants, using natural ground covers to suppress weeds, and incorporating durable perennials, we create lush landscapes that require minimal upkeep. Thoughtful hardscaping, like stone pathways, reduces lawn maintenance while enhancing structure and charm. With strategic design, your garden stays vibrant and inviting—without demanding constant care.

Testimonials

David And Jan 1720194040445

What surprised us most was how much more we love our home since Hanselman Landscape began working here! In addition to the beautiful new backyard oasis they created, they are here regularly to care for our plants, turning existing shrubs that we thought were worthless into beautiful, valuable specimens.

David and Jan , Lancaster, PA
Matthew And Julie 1720194119552

Our needs were to have as much privacy as possible from neighboring homes. Everything was done to perfection. This was the first time in a while (even with building a new home) that we gave the job to someone and never, ever had to go over again and again what was to be done.

Michael H. , Hummelstown, PA
Tony 1720193797447

Words do not serve well to express the sense of serenity and pleasure which your fine work evokes. I would liken the feeling to that of walking alone through a great museum.

Tony , Camp Hill, PA
Amy 1720193998139

I can’t even put into words how much I love my new yard. Hanselman Landscape did an outstanding job–changing an ugly piece of land into a serene and beautiful garden. The workmanship of Hanselman Landscape’s employees is of the highest quality.

Hanselman Landscape has helped us re-landscape our property over the past 3 years. James has a way of guiding you through your own garden, taking in the vantage points, and uncovering your vision (even though you didn’t know you had one)!

Michael and Sonja , Lititz, PA
Will And Janice 1720193916353

We liked the way James (Hanselman) explained and introduced the suggested plantings, actually showing us leaf samples. We needed and appreciated his guidance. Thanks for adding to our enjoyment of our home with your creative landscaping.
