Landscaping in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania landscaping runs April through October with a strong spring planting season. Philadelphia's Main Line and Chester County suburbs have premium landscaping markets focused on formal gardens and hardscape. Pittsburgh's hillside properties often require retaining wall integration in landscape designs. Native Pennsylvania plants (Black-eyed Susan, Wild Columbine, Joe-Pye Weed) support pollinators and require less maintenance.
