LANDSCAPING
Why Colonial?
With over 40 years of experience in the business, we know what makes a landscape succeed. Our landscape designers work with our clients to design a plan that meets their goals, eliminates future problems and ensures gained value over time. We make plant and placement choices that allow for proper growth and maintenance as your landscape matures. Whether you are looking to improve the value of your home, install a privacy barrier, or incorporate more pollinator friendly plants, we can develop a personalized design just for you.
Because our staff works out of our garden center location, they have access to one of the widest selections of plants in the area and are up-to-date on the best varieties of plants available. Clients have the chance to see their plant choices up close prior to installation and plants are backed up with our one year warranty.
We work with clients of all budgets and experience levels. Please see our options below to select the best choice for your needs.
We offer programs that are custom designed to fit your needs:
Option 1: Free In-Store Garden Consultation
Want to build the garden of your dreams, but don’t know where to start? Our DIY expert John is here to help provide suggestions and informal plans to help you get started. John will take information you provide about your space and walk you through the beds to pick plants that will meet your needs and thrive in the space. This meeting is for customers planning to install their own plants, but need guidance from an expert. Whether you’re starting from scratch or reworking an existing bed, John can help you out.
Option 2 – House Call
Let us come to your house or business and answer your questions regarding landscaping options or solutions to landscaping problems. During this house call, we can make recommendations and provide a quick sketch. A free follow-up appointment can be made at the store to discuss plants and pricing.
Cost: $50 for the first hour and $40 per hour after that.
To schedule a house call, scroll to the “Request Landscaping Services” at the bottom of this page or call us at 610-948-9755 during business hours.
Option 3 – Formal Design
Set up an appointment to have our experts come to your home or business and discuss your landscaping options. We will take pictures and measurements and draw up a formal to-scale design with an itemized plant and supply list. It takes approximately three weeks to complete a design. Upon completion, we will schedule an appointment at Colonial Gardens to review your design and plant choices and make any changes. All design fees will be applied to any installation of $3,000 or more.
Cost: $300 for basic design (for example, front and side of house). Larger designs may cost more.

Arranging Installation
Upon approving your landscape design we will set up a timeline for your landscaping. In most cases we are able to schedule installation within two to four weeks of design approval. Full payment is due only upon job completion. All trees, shrubs, and perennials have a one year warranty. If requested, we will come out for no additional fee the following year to answer any of your concerns regarding your installation or future installations.
