Landscape Architects & Landscape Designers in Elizabethtown, PA

“Garden Architecture worked with my wife and I to redesign everything outside the walls of our house. The work included a driveway, walks, two entrances, patio, pond, firepit, retaining walls, stormwater management (two rain gardens and an underground surge tank), site lighting and plantings. I am an architect so brought some of my own ideas to the project, good and bad. Kirsten was a great collaborator and a delight to work with. She is knowledgeable about the technical aspects of the work and a creative designer, for our project doing everything from addressing tricky grading and drainage problems to creating a beautiful environment in which we now happily spend as much time as possible.”

“We are more than pleased with the work Martin did for us. We had just added a circular driveway to the front of the house and had 3 areas that required landscaping. I had a few ideas but I’ve never had a green thumb so wanted to get professional help. He responded quickly and was able to come by the next day. He not only listened to my ideas but helped expand them. He also was able to evaluate the soil and gave recommendations to improve it that we still use annually. The shrubs and flowers filled in beautifully and each spring we get many compliments on our garden. You need Martin for your landscaping needs. D Lewis”

“Ruth has been wonderful! We hired her to help us redesign our backyard including hardscape and landscape for our mid-century home we bought two years ago. She really worked with us to understand our style and logistical needs and developed a design that was a perfect fit. She has worked with us every step of the way to make the project become a reality. We've expanded now to the front yard and she provided us with yet another wonderful design and continues to help us through the process. We highly recommend her!”

“Roland is an extremely knowledgeable and creative landscape designer. He has maintained our beautiful backyard (originally designed by his father) since we purchased the home in January 2015. He has taken on large projects like replanting our large koi pond, to small projects like planting annuals in our planters. We would recommend him for any project.”

“Professional, courteous, prompt. Beautiful job. The stone walkway makes my home look finished. They offered assistance and timeframes were clear and adhered to. Communication was clear and easy. Would definitely do business with them again.”

“I cannot praise Donovan and his crew highly enough. The design, quality of workmanship and value for money were all exceptional.”

“I had the pleasure of working at Olin in Philadelphia with Howard as a landscape architect in the late 1990's.. What struck me about Howard, was his attention to detail and craftsmanship while working on or managing complicated design projects. Howard has a is very talented, has a positive outlook, listens to the clients concerns and is easy to work with.”

“Where to begin? That was our dilemma. We had been in our home for 30 years and had a long list of items that needed to be addressed. Most of our mature trees had recently been taken out, but we still had a tremendous amount of existing plants in our backyard. We had a vision, but didn't know how to bring it to life. Have you ever visited your friendly garden center in an attempt to gain advice? You bring home the "perfect plants" and put them in the ground, only to find yourself digging them out several years later? That was our experience, over and over again. We realized that we needed someone to listen to our vision and help us put the pieces in place. We were introduced to Bill Tamburro. He listened, really listened to what my husband and I wanted to accomplish. Planting a privacy screen with evergreens across the back of our property was our first priority. Low maintenance and less money spent on mulch was our second and third priority. Because we love to "collect" roses, peonies, hydrangeas, etc., a beautiful flow and design, that would accommodate all of our favorites was also important to us. Bill delivered on every element. He drew up a workable plan for our sloped backyard which eased the chore of mowing a steep bank. Bill also helped us choose the correct trees, evergreens, perennials and groundcovers to fit the space and keep maintenance to a minimum. Most importantly, Bill designed a framework with boundaries which gives our gardens a cohesive look for timeless beauty. The professional, expert advice we received was well worth the time and investment we made. We would like to work with Bill again next year when we redo the landscaping in our front yard.”

“We hired David for design and construction work for a full front yard renovation. The job entailed some complex issues associated with water drainage and unusual grading. David managed solutions for both of them with great skill. They were detailed in their description of the work effort, timely in the delivery of the project, and friendly and courteous throughout. The job contained both hardscaping and softscaping, both of which still look great four years post project. I highly recommend David and his services.”

“Debbie's passion for her work is reflected in her beautiful designs. My family and I hired Debbie to assist us with bringing our family estate "back to life" while staying true to the 1929 Georgian style architecture and design. Debbie was thoughtful and diligent throughout the process and taught us many things along the way. Not only does Debbie have extensive knowledge in her field, but her creativity and unique vision truly set her apart. I am always inspired by working with people who love what they do & do it well, and Debbie is a wonderful example of this.”
