Residential Landscape Contractor in Bucks County, PA
Stoneleaf has built its reputation as a residential landscape contractor in Bucks and Montgomery County, PA by designing landscapes we actually install. We are design-build, not design-only, which means the crew that walks your property to plan the landscape is the same crew that plants it, grades it, and finishes it. That continuity is why our designs hold up as built projects, not just as drawings. Justin Elvidge is on site for every job, and every landscape we install is designed around Bucks and Montgomery County’s specific soil, drainage, sun conditions, and climate zone.
Landscape Design and Installation Services We Provide
Stoneleaf provides six core landscape services to homeowners across Bucks and Montgomery County, PA. Most projects combine several of these into one installation, but each can also be scoped on its own.
Landscape Design
Every Stoneleaf project starts with a design. We walk your property, assess sun exposure and soil conditions, discuss how you actually use your yard, and draft a plan that accounts for drainage, grade, and maintenance reality, not just how it will look on day one. Designs cover plant selection, bed layout, focal points, and how the landscape integrates with any hardscape features such as patios or walls. Because Stoneleaf is design-build, the design is built to match what we can actually execute on installation day.
Landscape Installation
Landscape installation is where the design becomes a built project: bed preparation, soil amendment, planting, edging, and mulch. We handle everything from single-bed installations to full property transformations. Every plant goes in with proper soil amendment for Bucks and Montgomery County’s clay-heavy ground, and every bed is edged and mulched to hold its line through the first growing season.
Planting Services
Stoneleaf plants trees, shrubs, perennials, and ornamental grasses across Bucks and Montgomery County. Plant selection is based on the property’s USDA hardiness zone (most of Bucks and Montgomery County sits in zones 6b and 7a), the specific sun and soil conditions in each bed, and the homeowner’s preference for maintenance level. We do not push high-maintenance plant lists on homeowners who want a low-maintenance yard.
Grading and Drainage
Grading and drainage problems are the most common reason landscapes fail. Water that does not move away from the house, a lawn that stays soggy, erosion that cuts channels across the yard, these are all grading and drainage issues, not plant problems. Stoneleaf regrades yards, installs French drains, extends downspouts away from foundations, and builds swales where the site needs them. Every landscape installation starts with a drainage assessment before any planting goes in.
Sod and New Lawn Installation
Stoneleaf installs sod for fast lawn establishment and seeded lawns where sod is not the right fit. Sod gives an immediate finished lawn but costs more and requires intensive watering the first few weeks. Seeded lawns cost less and establish a more durable root system over time but take a full season to fill in. We help homeowners pick the right approach based on budget, timeline, and how the lawn will be used.
Mulch and Bed Work
Stoneleaf installs fresh mulch, edges existing beds, cleans out overgrown plantings, and refreshes beds that have gotten tired. Mulch is applied at 2 to 3 inches, kept off tree trunks (no mulch volcanoes), and topped annually where clients want ongoing maintenance. Bed edging is cut fresh to hold a clean line through the season.
Landscape Projects Often Include Pavers and Retaining Walls
Most residential landscape projects in Bucks and Montgomery County include some form of hardscape. A backyard redesign often combines a paver patio, a low retaining wall to handle a grade change, and the landscape planting that ties the whole space together. A front yard refresh might pair a new paver walkway with refreshed beds and fresh planting.
Because Stoneleaf handles design, hardscape, and landscape in-house, we design and install the entire project as one integrated job, not as two separate contractors coordinating across a fence. That reduces the coordination headaches and keeps the design intent consistent from the hardscape surfaces through the planting.
For paver patios, walkways, driveways, and pool decks, see our paver installation services. For segmental block and natural stone retaining walls, see our retaining wall services.
Our Landscape Design and Installation Process
Every landscape project at Stoneleaf follows the same four-step process, from the first call through final walkthrough.
On-Site Consultation
Justin visits your property, walks the space, and discusses how you actually use your yard, what is not working, and what you want the landscape to do. We take measurements, photograph key conditions, and note sun exposure, soil, grade, and drainage patterns.
Design and Itemized Quote
You receive a design and itemized written proposal covering plant selection, bed layout, any grading or drainage work, hardscape integration if relevant, material quantities, timeline, and line-item pricing. Every design decision is explained, not just presented.
Installation
The same crew handles bed prep, soil amendment, planting, grading, drainage, sod or seed, and mulch. Justin is on site throughout. Your property stays protected, equipment stays organized, and the work zone stays clean day to day.
Final Walkthrough and Care Guidance
We walk the finished landscape with you before we leave and explain watering, first-season care, and long-term maintenance expectations for each plant. A landscape that gets the first season of care right sets up a decade of healthy growth.

Frequently Asked Questions About Landscape Design and Installation in Bucks County, PA
Below are the questions Bucks and Montgomery County homeowners ask most often before starting a landscape project. If yours is not covered, call (215) 631-8793 and we will answer it directly.
What is included in Stoneleaf's landscape design and installation services?
Stoneleaf provides six core landscape services across Bucks and Montgomery County, PA: landscape design, landscape installation, planting (trees, shrubs, perennials, and grasses), grading and drainage, sod and new lawn installation, and mulch and bed work. Most projects combine several of these services into one installation. We are design-build, meaning the same crew that designs your landscape also installs it.
Do you offer design-only services or only full installations?
Stoneleaf is a design-build landscape contractor, meaning we design landscapes we install. We do not sell standalone design drawings for another contractor to build. This model keeps the design grounded in what can actually be executed on site, and keeps the project accountability with one team from start to finish.
How much does a landscape project cost in Bucks County, PA?
Landscape project costs in Bucks and Montgomery County vary widely based on scope, from a single-bed refresh under $2,000 to a full backyard transformation over $50,000. Every project is different, and Stoneleaf provides itemized written estimates after an on-site consultation. Call (215) 631-8793 for a free estimate on your specific project.
When is the best time to install a landscape in Pennsylvania?
Spring and fall are the best times to install landscapes in Pennsylvania. Spring (April through early June) lets new plantings establish roots before summer heat. Fall (September through early November) lets plants settle in cooler weather with less water stress. Summer installations work but require more intensive watering, and winter installations are limited to hardscape and grading work only.
Do you handle drainage problems and regrading?
Yes. Stoneleaf regrades yards, installs French drains, extends downspouts away from foundations, and builds swales where the site requires them. Drainage and grading are often the root cause of landscapes that look tired or fail entirely, which is why we assess drainage on every estimate before we plan any planting work.
