Why Philadelphia Homeowners Have Trusted Blue Tree Since 1983

Our story started in 1983, and for more than four decades we have designed and built outdoor spaces across the Philadelphia region, including the city's larger-lot residential neighborhoods. What began as a small residential landscape operation has grown into a full-service design-build firm with 70 to 90 team members, 8 or more designers and sales professionals on staff, and a production calendar that spans pools, patios, landscapes, turf care, and year-round maintenance.
Before design begins in Philadelphia, the team studies access, grade, drainage, existing structures, utilities, and how the proposed work connects to the rest of the property. Those observations shape the first concept and scope.
What matters most to us is the relationship. We are building patios and gardens 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 Philadelphia homeowners continue to trust Blue Tree with their most important outdoor projects.

Designed for Philadelphia's Climate, Soil, and Character

A Philadelphia project may involve a historic stone home in Chestnut Hill, a twin in Mount Airy, or a single on a larger lot in the Far Northeast. Access, grade, existing utilities, drainage, and soil are evaluated before design is finalized. Permit, zoning, stormwater, setback, and historic-review requirements depend on the address and approved scope, so Blue Tree verifies the applicable path with the authority having jurisdiction before construction.
Soil across Philadelphia is a mix of clay and decades of urban fill, often under a mature tree canopy in the older residential neighborhoods. Fill and compacted ground create drainage challenges, and established roots and shade add complexity to new plantings. These realities have to be addressed during installation, not discovered after the fact. Soil amendment and drainage design are built into nearly every project we complete in the city.
Freeze-thaw cycles make drainage, base preparation, material selection, and installation details important across Southeastern Pennsylvania. In Philadelphia, Blue Tree also plans around mature trees, property access, grade changes, and the level of upkeep the homeowner wants.

Blue Tree milestone icon

Common Questions

Blue Tree's 2026 planning ranges are $10,000 to $80,000 or more for landscape projects, $15,000 to $100,000 or more for hardscape projects, and $75,000 to $200,000 or more for an inground pool project. A complete backyard transformation may reach $150,000 to $400,000 or more. Final pricing depends on site access, permits, materials, finishes, and scope.

Project timing depends on scope, access, design decisions, material availability, municipal review, and seasonal conditions. Blue Tree provides a current schedule after the property and approved scope are evaluated.

The best material palette follows the home's architecture, drainage, sun and shade, and how the space will be used. Blue Tree compares natural stone, pavers, wall systems, and planting options during design.

Permit, zoning, stormwater, and historic-review requirements vary by municipality, project scope, and site conditions. PA DEP Chapter 105 may apply when work involves a regulated water obstruction or encroachment. Blue Tree confirms what applies during site evaluation and with the local authority before construction.

The right maintenance plan depends on turf, tree canopy, planting beds, drainage, pest pressure, and the level of care the property needs. Blue Tree evaluates the site before confirming seasonal services and pricing.

Blue Tree combines 43 years in business with a 13 to 14 year average employee tenure and a 15-year pool construction track record. That continuity gives homeowners one experienced team from early planning through construction and ongoing care.
