Landscape design is the planning stage that happens before a single shovel hits the ground. It is the difference between a yard that looks like a collection of plants and one that actually works as a space. At Legacy Landscaping, landscape design in West Chester PA starts with your property as it is: the grade, the sun, the drainage, the existing trees worth keeping, and the views you want to frame or block. From there we lay out planting beds, walkways, patios, lighting, focal points, and plant selections that hold up in Chester County soil and weather. People searching for a landscape designer near me are often working around a specific problem, like a slope that will not drain or a blank backyard they have no idea what to do with. Michael started this company in the 1980s doing exactly that kind of work by hand and by eye. Patrick runs it now with the same approach, handling custom landscape design in Downingtown, residential landscape design in Chadds Ford, and outdoor living space design in Kennett Square.
