Landscaping in Fox Chapel, PA

Fox Chapel properties are large, wooded and private, and the standard expected of the finish is as high as anywhere we work.

Deer pressure here is about the strongest in the county. Planting that would be unremarkable elsewhere is a feeding station, so species selection is deliberate from the first drawing and vulnerable material is protected through the years it takes to establish.

Canopy and gradient usually arrive together. Shade decides where turf is realistic, root competition decides how beds are built, and the fall across a property decides how much of the level space has to be constructed.

Because houses sit well back, lighting here does as much wayfinding as it does effect — getting people from the car to the door matters alongside how the property reads after dark.
