Landscaping Company in Wexford, PA
Custom landscaping, retaining walls, drainage and outdoor living projects, built around how you actually use your property.
A larger yard gives you plenty of possibilities, but it can also mean more to think about when you’re ready to make improvements. Slopes, drainage, privacy, aging retaining walls and the way different outdoor areas connect can all influence what makes sense for the property.
NLC Landscaping & Design provides professional landscaping services in Wexford, PA, with a focus on creating outdoor spaces that are attractive, functional and planned around the way homeowners actually want to use their property.
Our services include retaining walls, French drains and drainage solutions, paver patios and walkways, fencing, sod installation, landscape design, excavation and custom decks. NLC specifically includes Wexford among the communities it currently serves.
Sometimes that means completing one specific project. Other times, we’re brought in because several areas of the property need attention and the homeowner wants them addressed as one coordinated project.
Start With the Property, Not a Prepackaged Design
There isn’t one landscape plan that works for every Wexford home.
One homeowner may have plenty of yard but wants a better place for entertaining. Another may have a slope that isn’t being used for anything. Someone else may be dealing with water collecting in the lawn after every heavy rain.
That’s why we prefer to look at the property before deciding what should be done. We consider the existing grade, drainage, access, surrounding landscaping and how you want to use the finished space.
That could be as straightforward as a new fence or sod installation, or it could involve a retaining wall, drainage work, patio and new landscaping as part of the same project.
Retaining Walls for Wexford Properties
Retaining walls can completely change what you’re able to do with a sloped property.
NLC installs concrete block, natural stone, decorative and tiered retaining walls, with drainage incorporated where appropriate. The company’s existing installation process includes site evaluation, excavation and base preparation, drainage installation, wall construction and final grading.
Replacing an Older Retaining Wall
An existing wall that is leaning, separating or showing other signs of deterioration shouldn’t automatically be covered up or patched without first understanding what’s happening behind it.
We look at the condition of the wall, surrounding grade and drainage before recommending the next step. Depending on the property, replacing the wall may also provide an opportunity to improve the layout of the surrounding yard.
Creating More Usable Yard Space
Retaining walls aren’t only about correcting a problem. On the right property, a wall or tiered wall system can help transform a difficult slope into a more useful landscape with defined planting beds, lawn areas, walkways or outdoor living space.
The wall becomes part of the overall design rather than simply something holding back soil.
Drainage Solutions & French Drains in Wexford
Water has a way of finding the lowest part of a property.
If your yard has areas that stay saturated, experience erosion or collect water after storms, it’s important to figure out where that water is coming from before trying to fix what you see on the surface.
NLC provides French drain installation and other drainage work designed to redirect excess water and address pooling and erosion issues.
Signs Your Property May Have a Drainage Problem
You may want to have the property evaluated if you’re regularly noticing:
- Standing water after rain
- Soggy sections of lawn
- Soil washing away
- Mulch moving during storms
- Water collecting around landscape beds
- Runoff moving across patios or walkways
- Erosion around slopes
- Water collecting near retaining walls
A French drain can be an effective solution in the right situation, but we don’t believe in treating every wet yard exactly the same way. The location of the water and the way it moves through the property matter.
Paver Patios & Outdoor Living Areas
A patio shouldn’t feel like it was simply dropped into an empty section of the backyard.
NLC installs paver patios, walkways and hardscape features and can coordinate them with retaining walls, drainage, landscaping, fencing and decks.
For Wexford homeowners planning a larger backyard improvement, this allows us to think about questions such as:
- Where should people naturally enter the patio?
- Would a retaining wall help define the space?
- Is drainage needed before installing the hardscape?
- Would a privacy fence improve how the area feels?
- How should the patio connect to the house, deck and lawn?
Planning those details together can make a major difference in the finished project.
Custom Decks for Wexford Homes
A deck can become the transition between the house and everything happening in the backyard.
NLC builds pressure-treated wood and composite decks and offers options including multi-level decks, stairs, railings, privacy screens, lighting, integrated seating and other outdoor-living features. Wexford is specifically included in the company’s current deck-building service area.
Because NLC also handles landscaping and hardscaping, we can look beyond the deck itself.
A new deck can be planned alongside a patio, retaining wall, fence, drainage improvements or new landscaping so the entire backyard works together.
Fence Installation for Privacy, Security & a Finished Backyard
Fencing can solve several different problems at once.
Some homeowners want more privacy around a patio or deck. Others need a defined backyard for children or pets. In other cases, a fence simply provides the finished edge a landscape has been missing.
NLC installs wood privacy fencing, vinyl fencing, decorative fencing and custom fence layouts.
We also consider how the fence interacts with existing grades, retaining walls, gates, walkways and other landscape features rather than treating it as an isolated part of the property.
Sod Installation & Lawn Restoration
Major outdoor projects often leave areas where the lawn needs to be restored.
NLC provides new lawn and sod installation, whether it’s the primary project or the finishing touch after drainage, retaining wall, fence or hardscape work.
The preparation underneath the sod matters just as much as what you see when we’re finished. Grading and drainage should be considered before the new lawn goes down.
Planning a Complete Backyard Transformation?
This is where working with a full-service landscaping company can make a difference.
Imagine a backyard where an older retaining wall needs replaced, water collects at the bottom of the slope, the patio is too small and there’s very little privacy.
Those aren’t necessarily four unrelated projects. The new retaining wall could change the grade. That influences drainage. The drainage needs to be addressed before the new patio goes in. The patio location may affect where the fence and gates should be placed.
NLC Landscaping & Design can coordinate multiple parts of the project instead of looking at each improvement separately. The company’s current service offering combines landscape design, hardscaping, excavation, retaining walls, drainage, fencing, sod and deck construction.
Our Approach to Wexford Landscaping Projects
Before work starts, we want to understand what you’re trying to accomplish.
We Look at the Existing Property
Slopes, drainage, access and existing improvements can all affect the project.
We Talk About How You Use Your Yard
A family looking for more room for children and pets may need something completely different from homeowners who primarily want an outdoor entertaining space.
We Consider Drainage Early
Water management shouldn’t be an afterthought once the retaining wall, patio or landscaping is already finished.
We Plan Features Together
When several improvements are being made, we look at how the retaining walls, patios, decks, fences, lawns and landscaping will interact.
We Explain the Recommended Work
You should understand what we’re proposing and why we’re recommending it before construction begins.
