About Blue Tree Outdoor Living

Blue Tree Outdoor Living is co-owned by Jeff Mattiola (President) and Chad Ochnich (Vice President). Jeff joined the company in 1989 after two years managing a restaurant and bought out the original partner in 1992. Chad joined in 1995 and brought Flat Top Landscaping (mowing and turf care) into the business. They have run Blue Tree together as co-owners for over 30 years across two separate families. Both remain active in the business, with Jeff focused on pools and design and Chad focused on hardscape and turf operations.

Blue Tree Outdoor Living was founded in 1983 in Norristown, PA, and has been building outdoor living spaces across Southeastern PA for 43 years. The company moved its headquarters to Schwenksville in 2008. The team grows to 70 to 90 employees during peak season, with a 13 to 14 year average tenure. Pool construction launched in 2011 (15 years), and the pool service division was added in 2023.
