    Downingtown Landscaping Experts

    Your Landscape Partner in Downingtown

    Downingtown is one of Chester County's oldest communities, a historic borough on the East Branch of the Brandywine Creek with a main street along Lancaster Avenue and a housing mix that runs from 19th-century homes near the center of town to newer developments in the surrounding townships.

    That range is what makes landscaping here rewarding. A borough property needs a design that makes the most of limited space and respects the home's character. A newer home on a larger suburban lot often starts with builder-grade plantings and an unfinished backyard. We design, build and care for both.

    Pickel Landscape Group has been creating and maintaining Chester County landscapes since 2007. Downingtown is part of our growing northern Chester County service area, and we bring the same crews, standards and award-winning work that have made us a Best of Chester County winner.

    Landscaping Considerations in Downingtown

    Water & Drainage

    With the Brandywine running through the borough and many properties sloping toward it, managing stormwater matters. Grading, downspout routing and targeted drainage solutions protect foundations, patios and planting beds from runoff.

    Mature Trees & Established Lots

    Older properties often have mature trees, deep shade and compacted soil. We choose shade-appropriate plants and plan hardscape around existing root zones so new work doesn't put trees you want to keep at risk.

    New-Construction Yards

    Newer homes in the townships around Downingtown often have thin topsoil and minimal plantings. Soil improvement, foundation plantings and a planned backyard layout turn a builder-grade lot into a finished landscape.
