Costs vary significantly based on property size, scope, and plant selections. A foundation refresh might start
around $5,000-$15,000, while comprehensive property landscaping can range from $25,000 to $100,000+. We
provide detailed proposals with transparent pricing after our site consultation. No surprises.
A landscaper typically focuses on installation and maintenance. A landscape designer creates the plan,
analyzing your site, developing a cohesive design, specifying appropriate plants, and producing drawings. At
Blue Tree Outdoor Living, our designers are degreed professionals who both design AND oversee installation, so nothing gets
lost in translation.
Landscaping is the living side of your yard: the design, planting, lawn, beds, and trees that grow and change with the seasons. Hardscaping is the built side: patios, walls, walkways, and the structural features that frame the space. Most outdoor living projects use both, working together. Blue Tree Outdoor Living handles each in-house, so the planting and the stonework are planned as one project. See our hardscapes work for the built side.
Plan one to two months before you want installation completed. This allows time to develop a custom design,
finalize the contract, and get on the schedule. If you're flexible on timing, fall is actually ideal for many projects.
Cooler temperatures and seasonal rains help plants establish before winter.
Spring (April-May) and fall (September-October) are ideal planting seasons in our region. Fall is often
preferred. Cooler temperatures and fall rains help roots establish before winter dormancy. We can design
anytime and schedule installation for optimal planting windows.
Timeline depends on project scope. A foundation planting might take 2-3 days to install. A full property
landscape could take 2-4 weeks. Design development typically takes 2-3 weeks before installation begins. We'll
provide a clear timeline in your proposal.
You can handle small planting and seasonal cleanup yourself. Where a professional earns the cost is the parts that are hard to undo: grading and drainage, plant selection for your soil and light, and a design that still looks right in five years. Blue Tree Outdoor Living has designed and built outdoor spaces across Southeastern PA for 43 years. For lawn and soil questions, our Healthy Yards resources help too.
Annuals grow for one season and die after cold weather arrives. Think marigolds, petunias, and impatiens.
Perennials return year after year, like coneflowers, hostas, and salvia. Most landscape designs use a
foundation of perennials for structure, with annuals for seasonal color pops.
Yes. We provide a one-year, one-time replacement warranty on all plant material from the date of installation.
If a plant fails due to conditions beyond your control (extreme weather, disease), we'll replace it. The warranty
doesn't cover plants that die from improper watering, but we'll give you clear care instructions to prevent that.
New plants need deep watering less frequently, not shallow daily watering. Generally, once or twice per week is sufficient, depending on weather and soil conditions. We provide detailed watering instructions for every plant we install, and we can add drip irrigation to a new landscape to keep watering consistent.
Not strictly necessary, but highly beneficial. Drip irrigation delivers consistent, targeted watering to plant beds, especially in the first two years while plants establish. We install drip irrigation as part of a new landscape project. We don't install full lawn sprinkler systems; for lawn irrigation we'll point you to a trusted specialist.
We design for phased implementation all the time. We can create a master plan for your entire property,
then prioritize what gets installed first based on your budget and needs. Many clients start with the front yard
or a specific problem area, then add phases over subsequent years.
Your landscape is planned by Blue Tree's in-house designers, who lay out every planting, grade, and bed for how your yard grows in across Southeastern PA.
