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 are still active day-to-day: Jeff on pools and design, Chad 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 has grown to 70 to 90 employees during peak season, with a 13 to 14 year average tenure. Pool construction launched 2011 (15 years), and the pool service division added 2023. Many of today's designers and crew members started with Blue Tree more than a decade ago.
Three structural differences. Blue Tree Outdoor Living runs Pools, Landscapes, Hardscapes, Healthy Yards, and Premier Outdoor Services in-house under one roof, with one designer leading every project. The team carries 13 to 14 year average employee tenure and over 100 years of combined design experience across 8 or more degreed designers. Pricing is transparent: named ranges, itemized proposals, and a fixed-scope quote, instead of the contractor pattern of low-bid-then-up-charge. Forty-three years of Southeastern PA experience sits underneath it.
Blue Tree Outdoor Living's headquarters is at 4494 Skippack Pike, Schwenksville, PA 19473. Mailing address is PO Box 1112, Schwenksville, PA 19473. Schwenksville has been our home base since 2008, after the company outgrew the original Norristown facility. The yard, equipment, design center, and offices all operate from this address.

Blue Tree Outdoor Living serves Montgomery, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Lehigh, Berks, and Philadelphia Counties across Southeastern PA.

Designers, not salespeople. Blue Tree Outdoor Living has eight or more designers and sales professionals on staff with over 100 years of combined design experience. Several hold degrees from Delaware Valley College, Penn State, and similar landscape architecture or horticulture programs. The designer leads the discovery, draws the plan, manages the build, and stays with you through warranty. As Jérôme Besnard puts it, "We're more designers than salesmen." Compensation isn't structured around closing on the first visit.
