Custom Landscape Design & Installation
An element of completion and beauty
A lush landscape provides natural elegance to outdoor living. Get back to nature in style with custom designed landscaping that works in harmony with your property’s natural topography. PSW carefully selects native plants and shrubs to be certain they enhance your hardscape and patio scenery. We also provide added touches with outdoor lighting and stone-shaped sound speakers that take your space to a whole new level.
The correct landscape design will complement the structure of the home, provide a variety of size and color options that dramatically increase the curb appeal to the home, aid in drainage issues, and will require minimal maintenance.
In a climate like Pittsburgh, the individual plant materials must be well throughout and selected by an experienced landscape designer. Choosing the wrong materials may result in costly replacements in the future.
PSW was founded over 40 years ago on the service of landscape design and installation. Landscaping continues to be a cornerstone of our designs. We provide custom landscape design and installation services for all of our clients.

Around Waterfalls
Adding the correct balance of landscape material around a waterfall is essential. It further promotes the appearance of a natural setting and the right plant material will continue to age gracefully with the waterfall to appear as you may see in nature. Even though a waterfall is typically a main focal point of landscape design, the right combination and location of key plant material can vastly increase the beauty of the overall area. Additional benefits for landscaping around waterfalls are:
Plant material acts as a great backdrop around the waterfall
When LED lighting is placed on the waterfall and on select plant material at night, it makes the area look bigger and more elegant
Adding carefully selected specimen plants to focal points of a waterfall highlight the specific space and make it stand out as a point of interest
Adding select perennials along the waterfall edge allows some plant foliage to creep into stream areas for a natural look, and provides vibrant color to break up the stone appearance
Around Bank Areas
Creating a comprehensive landscape design to incorporate key plant material along with boulders will transform any unsightly bank to a gorgeous focal point of the yard. Additional benefits for landscaping bank areas are:
A great solution for a area that is difficult to mow
Creates a form of erosion control to keep hillside from slipping
Consumes a great deal of runoff or rain water that would typically travel to bottom of yard area
If plant material is selected properly little to no maintenance will be involved to care for hillside
Privacy
Introducing a buffer area of carefully selected plant material can add color and a great deal of privacy to areas of the home. This also helps distinguish property boundaries between homes.
