Foundation Planting in Swarthmore, PA
JHL Landscapers serves Swarthmore and Delaware County from our Newtown Square office. Free on-site estimates — no obligation.
Swarthmore's wooded, collegiate character creates a distinctive landscape environment — and foundation plantings that work with the natural setting rather than against it produce some of the best results in Delaware County. JHL Landscapers designs and installs foundation plantings for Swarthmore homeowners, selecting plants that thrive in the area's conditions.
We often work with shade-tolerant and woodland-edge plant material for Swarthmore properties, where mature tree canopy creates significant shade. Evergreen groundcovers, shade-tolerant hollies, ferns, and shade-loving perennials can create beautiful foundation plantings even on challenging sites. For sunnier exposures, we expand to the full range of flowering shrubs and perennials available.
JHL Landscapers handles the full installation process at your Swarthmore property — from design consultation through final cleanup. Call (610) 553-6913 for a free on-site estimate.
