Pools, Landscapes, and Hardscapes in Lafayette Hill, PA

Since 1983, Blue Tree has designed and built custom pools, landscapes, and hardscapes for Lafayette Hill homeowners, from the established neighborhoods of Whitemarsh Township to the wooded properties bordering the Wissahickon. Working from our Skippack headquarters, we deliver turnkey outdoor living backed by strong warranties and a 4.6-star Google rating.

Why Lafayette Hill Homeowners Have Trusted Blue Tree Since 1983

Our story started in 1983, and from our Skippack headquarters we have designed and built across Whitemarsh Township and Montgomery County 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 sits at 4494 Skippack Pike, and we have worked throughout southeastern Montgomery County for decades. We file permits with Whitemarsh Township, we know the clay soils and the mature, Wissahickon-edged terrain of Lafayette Hill, and we understand exactly what it takes to build well on the area's established 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 Lafayette Hill homeowners continue to trust Blue Tree with their most important outdoor projects.

Custom Pool Construction

Blue Tree Outdoor Living is one of the only full-service design-build firms serving Lafayette Hill 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.

Designed for Lafayette Hill's Climate, Soil, and Character

Lafayette Hill sits in southeastern Montgomery County, close enough to Philadelphia to fall in USDA hardiness zone 7a, one of the warmer pockets of the region. Summers regularly exceed 90 degrees and winters still bring freeze-thaw cycles. Our designers select plant material, hardscape surfaces, and pool equipment that perform across Lafayette Hill's range of conditions, from shaded, mature lots to open lawns.
Soil around Lafayette Hill is predominantly clay under mature tree canopy, with the Wissahickon watershed shaping drainage on many properties. Clay holds moisture and established roots add complexity, so drainage has 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 Lafayette Hill homeowners know: deer pressure is heavy near the Wissahickon corridor and wooded lots, freeze-thaw cycles heave shallow-rooted plants and shift improperly based pavers, and Whitemarsh Township enforces its own permitting and stormwater requirements, with many projects being renovations of mature, established landscapes. After more than four decades of building across the region, we have filed those permits and solved those drainage problems on properties throughout the area. That institutional knowledge is something no newcomer can replicate.

Over that time we have built relationships with families we now serve into a second generation, and our designers and crews know the Lafayette Hill area well.

Yes. Blue Tree files permits with Whitemarsh Township and handles the process in-house, from applications through inspections. The township enforces impervious surface limits and stormwater rules that affect pool size, patio area, and drainage, and many Lafayette Hill projects are renovations of established landscapes. Your designer confirms the specific requirements for your lot during the on-site evaluation.

Lafayette Hill sits in southeastern Montgomery County in USDA hardiness zone 7a, with clay soils, mature tree canopy, the Wissahickon watershed, freeze-thaw winters, and heavy deer pressure near the corridor and wooded lots. 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.
