Before a single plant goes in or a stone is set, Blue Tree turns your ideas into a buildable plan. For 43 years, our degreed designers have walked Southeastern Pennsylvania properties, read the site, and designed landscapes the same team then installs. Here is exactly how that process works, from the first visit to the final walkthrough.
Most landscape companies either hand you a plan and disappear, or skip design and start digging. Blue Tree does neither. A degreed designer owns your project from the first site visit through installation, so the plan that gets drawn is the plan that gets built, by the same team. That designer studies your soil, drainage, sun, grade, and how you actually live outside, then designs the planting, hardscape, lighting, and drainage as one coordinated plan. Blue Tree has run this process across Montgomery, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Lehigh, Berks, and Philadelphia Counties since 1983, with in-house permitting and 3D renderings that let you see the finished property before anything is built.

Landscape Installation. The same team that designs your landscape builds it, working from your approved plan. Explore landscaping.
Hardscape Construction. Patios, walls, and walkways built into the design, not bolted on later. Explore hardscapes.
Ongoing Care. Planting, lawn, and bed maintenance handled by the same company through Premier Outdoor Services.
From the first consultation to an approved design, most Blue Tree landscape projects take 4 to 8 weeks, depending on scope and how many revisions you want. Larger or multi-phase properties can take longer. Installation is scheduled after the design is approved and priced. Starting the design in fall or winter usually positions you to install the following spring or summer.
The first on-site consultation is free. For larger or more detailed projects, Blue Tree may charge a design fee that is typically credited toward the installation if you move forward. Your designer explains any design cost up front during the consultation, so there are no surprises.
A complete plan coordinates planting, hardscape, grading and drainage, lighting, and irrigation as one design, with 3D renderings of the finished property. You see plant species and sizes, material selections, and layout before anything is installed, along with an itemized estimate so you know what each part costs.
Yes. Blue Tree designs in 3D and gives you a virtual walk-through of the finished property, with your house and lot in frame. You refine materials, plant choices, and layout on screen, so the design is settled before excavation begins, while changes are still easy to make.
Yes. The designer who plans your landscape stays involved through installation and the final walkthrough, and Blue Tree's own crews build from that plan. There is no handoff to a separate contractor, which is why the finished property matches the design.
