Pools, Landscapes, and Hardscapes in West Chester, PA

Since 1983, Blue Tree has designed and built custom pools, landscapes, and hardscapes for West Chester homeowners, from the historic borough and university district to the estates of the surrounding Chester County townships. We deliver turnkey outdoor living backed by strong warranties and a 4.6-star Google rating.

Why West Chester Homeowners Have Trusted Blue Tree Since 1983

Our story started in 1983, and from our Skippack headquarters we have designed and built across Chester County and the surrounding region for more than four decades. What began as a small residential landscape operation has grown into a full-service design-build firm with 70 to 90 team members, six degree-holding designers with a combined 100-plus years of experience, and a production calendar that spans pools, patios, landscapes, turf care, and year-round maintenance.
Our headquarters is at 4494 Skippack Pike, and we have worked across Chester County for decades. We file permits with West Goshen, East Bradford, Westtown, and the surrounding townships, we know the clay and rocky Piedmont soils of the area, and we understand exactly what it takes to build well on West Chester's mix of historic-borough and estate properties.
What matters most to us is the relationship. We are building pools and patios for the children of clients we worked with 25 years ago. Our designers develop friendships with homeowners that last long after the project is complete. As Jeff, our founder, was told early on: "All you have in life is your reputation." That advice has guided every decision we have made for more than four decades, and it is why West Chester homeowners continue to trust Blue Tree with their most important outdoor projects.

Every Outdoor Living Service You Need

Custom Pool Construction

Blue Tree Outdoor Living is one of the only full-service design-build firms serving West Chester that handles custom pool construction in-house, from design and permitting through excavation, plumbing, plaster, and decking. We have been building inground pools for 15 years using premium Jandy equipment, and our approach is different: we do not just build the pool and leave. We design the entire backyard environment, including the pool, patio, landscaping, lighting, and drainage, as one integrated project. That is what turnkey means at Blue Tree.

Landscape Design & Installation

Our landscape design and installation services are led by degree-holding designers who create custom plans using CAD software and 3D renderings. We source approximately 90 percent of our plant material from local growers, design for four-season interest and long-term performance, and back every planting with a one-year warranty. Whether you need a foundation planting refresh, a native garden installation, or a complete property transformation, our design team builds the plan around your vision, lifestyle, and budget.

Hardscape Design & Installation

From paver patios and outdoor kitchens to retaining walls, fire pits, and walkways, our hardscape design and installation services transform your property with durable, low-maintenance materials. All work complies with West Goshen, East Bradford, and surrounding township building codes. Our designers integrate hardscape elements with the surrounding landscape and pool environment to create a cohesive outdoor living space, not a collection of disconnected projects.

Designed for West Chester's Climate, Soil, and Character

West Chester sits in the rolling Piedmont of central Chester County, in USDA hardiness zones 6b and 7a. Winters dip below zero and summers regularly exceed 90 degrees, so every plan accounts for both extremes. Our designers select plant material, hardscape surfaces, and pool equipment that perform across West Chester's range of conditions, from established borough lots to open estate grounds.
Soil around West Chester is a mix of clay and rocky Piedmont ground, with serpentine in some areas. Clay holds moisture and rock complicates excavation for pools and footings, so both have to be addressed during installation, not discovered after the fact. Soil amendment is part of nearly every planting project we complete here, and proper drainage design is built into every hardscape and pool plan.
We also design around realities West Chester homeowners know: deer pressure is significant on the wooded and estate lots, freeze-thaw cycles heave shallow-rooted plants and shift improperly based pavers, and the surrounding townships hold their own permitting, design, and stormwater standards. After more than four decades of building across the region, we have filed those permits and met those standards on properties throughout Chester County. That institutional knowledge is something no newcomer can replicate.

Yes. Blue Tree handles the permitting process in-house, from applications through inspections, with West Goshen, East Bradford, Westtown, and the surrounding townships. These municipalities hold their own permitting, design, and stormwater standards that affect pool size, patio area, and drainage. Your designer confirms the specific requirements for your property during the on-site evaluation.

West Chester sits in the rolling Piedmont of central Chester County in USDA hardiness zones 6b and 7a, with clay and rocky Piedmont soils, serpentine in some areas, freeze-thaw winters, deer pressure on the wooded and estate lots, and township design and stormwater standards. Those conditions shape every plan, from plant selection and drainage design to how pavers and pool shells are based, so the design fits your specific property.

Every project starts with a free on-site consultation. A Blue Tree designer, not a salesperson, walks your property, listens to how you want to use the space, and discusses your budget. From there you receive a custom design with 3D renderings and an itemized proposal, so you see exactly what you are getting before any work begins. Request a consultation through our online form to start.
