REFINED BEAUTY, DESIGNED FOR EASE

Minimizing garden maintenance is a common priority for many clients. Hanselman Landscape designs, installs, and cultivates low maintenance gardens using several strategies. Careful plant selection minimizes pruning to only what the client and our team can manage together. Thoughtful plantings in dense communities prevent widespread weeds.
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 is to use fewer varieties of plants that serve multiple purposes and plant only what we can manage together.

Testimonials

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

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

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

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.

Amy , Enola, PA

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

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.

Will and Janice , New Holland, PA
