Give Your Home A Stronger Sense Of Place
If you are considering landscape design in Upper Makefield Township, Pennsylvania, you are making choices that will influence how your home looks, functions, and feels for years. A successful result takes more than attractive plants and hardscape materials. It requires careful thought about architecture, site conditions, future growth, and the way you want to live outdoors.
Greenleaf Lawn and Landscape brings experienced landscape designers, degreed horticulturalists, and a family-owned-and-operated team serving the region since 1991 to that work. Because design and installation stay under one roof, the ideas developed for your home can carry naturally into construction rather than being handed off for someone else to interpret.
Design For What Your Landscape Will Become
A well-planned setting should feel natural as you move through it. Plantings should complement the architecture. Gathering areas should sit where you will enjoy them most. Drainage, grading, access, and future growth should support what you see above ground.
That broader perspective helps each element contribute to the whole.
- Plantings chosen for mature size, seasonal interest, and lasting health
- Outdoor areas positioned around how you entertain, relax, and spend time at home
- Grading and drainage considered alongside visible improvements
- Materials and features selected to complement the architecture
The result is a setting that feels intentional rather than assembled one project at a time.
Make Design Decisions That Still Feel Right Years Later
Your surroundings continue changing after installation. Plants grow, family routines shift, and the way you use different areas may evolve. Greenleaf approaches landscape design with those changes in mind.
-
See Your Home Through The Eyes Of Experienced Horticulturalists
A drawing can look impressive and still fall short if plant material is poorly suited to the site. Your project benefits from professionals who understand horticulture, environmental design, growing conditions, and how plantings develop through the years.
That knowledge guides recommendations for color, texture, screening, seasonal interest, and plant health. You get selections based on how they are expected to perform in your setting, not simply how they look on installation day.
-
Keep The Original Vision Connected To Construction
Your designer remains involved after the drawings are approved. Greenleaf treats design and installation as parts of the same project, helping the original intent carry through into the work performed on site.
Materials, grades, drainage, plant placement, and construction details can be addressed while the project is being developed. During installation, your designer stays involved so important decisions are not left to interpretation.
That continuity creates a more dependable path between what you approve and what is ultimately built.
-
See More Before You Commit To The Details
Understanding how several outdoor elements relate can be difficult when you are looking at the yard as it exists today.
A standard 2D plan gives you a detailed view of the proposed layout, helping you understand relationships between flowerbeds, hardscaping, outdoor living areas, circulation, and other improvements. Optional 3D video renderings are available for an added investment when a more immersive view would help with decision-making.
You can evaluate the overall composition before materials are ordered and construction moves forward.
Think Beyond The Day Installation Ends
Landscape design in Upper Makefield Township, PA can involve much more than planting areas. Your designer can consider how multiple improvements should relate so the completed setting feels cohesive instead of divided into separate projects.
Depending on your goals and site, design work may include:
- Custom 2D landscape plans
- Optional 3D video visualization
- Planting and flowerbed design
- Patios and outdoor living areas
- Pools and spas
- Landscape lighting and audio
- Ponds and water features
- Drainage and stormwater management
- Grading and circulation
- Privacy and screening plantings
- Material and feature recommendations
- Future maintenance considerations
Design work requires an investment and is completed in connection with installation rather than offered as a one-off service.

Turn Site Knowledge Into A Finished Landscape
When you know what’s happening next, your project feels easier and more predictable. This process is built to keep communication clear and reduce confusion at every stage.
Your project begins when you fill out a contact form or call the Greenleaf office. Your request is reviewed and forwarded to an experienced member of our team.
A designer reaches out within one business day to begin the conversation and learn more about your project goals. During your initial phone call with a landscape designer, you discuss what you would like to improve on your property and how you plan to use the space now and in the future. You will also talk about general budget expectations and project scope so the designer can recommend the right next steps. If the project sounds like a good fit, your on-site visit will be scheduled, typically within about one week.
Your designer meets you at your property for a 30–45 minute visit to review the space and make initial recommendations. This meeting helps clarify ideas, identify potential challenges, and determine the best direction for the design. For larger projects, it helps to have a survey or plot plan available, along with any inspiration photos you may have collected. Having all decision makers present helps move the project forward efficiently.
For larger projects, especially those involving hardscaping or pools, a custom design brings the full vision of your space together. A design proposal is sent shortly after your visit and is typically around $1,200 depending on project scope. Once approved, your designer creates the plan and prepares a presentation where you review the layout and budget for each portion of the project. Most plans are presented in 2D, with 3D renderings available for an additional investment. Up to two rounds of revisions are included so the final design reflects how you want the space to look and function. During this stage, you will also review options for maintaining your landscape so it stays healthy and looking its best after installation.
When the design and pricing meet your expectations, you meet with your designer to finalize the project and sign the agreement. The agreement outlines the full project price and scope of work. A deposit, typically 25-50 percent depending on project size, secures your place on the schedule and allows materials to be ordered.
If permits are required, such as for pools, approval timelines may take six weeks or longer depending on your town. For projects that do not require permits, work often begins within two to four weeks depending on the scope, weather, and time of year. Once construction begins, the operations manager becomes your main point of contact while the designer stays closely involved throughout the project. Project payments are made according to the agreement schedule. You will also notice the team’s commitment to The Greenleaf Peace of Mind Promise. Work areas are kept organized and maintained throughout the project, with materials staged carefully and the site cleaned regularly so the space never feels chaotic.
When your project is complete, the team walks through the finished space with you to review the work and confirm everything meets your expectations. This is also when the final project payment is due. During the walkthrough, you will be provided a maintenance proposal to properly care for your landscape, and warranty coverage is reviewed. Plants carry a 90 day warranty during the growing season, which can be extended to one year when paired with a qualified maintenance plan signed within 30 days of project completion.
About 60 days after installation, a Greenleaf team member returns to review your property and confirm everything is thriving. This visit allows the team to check plant health and answer any questions about maintaining your landscape long term.
