Annual Winter Garden Clean Up Program

The Landscape Services team at Terrain at Styer's is happy to announce we are now taking orders for our annual Winter Garden Clean Up Program. Place your deposit between now and November 15 and save 25%!

Let us take the pain out of getting your garden ready for Spring... we will cut back your perennials and ornamental grasses, put a sharp, clean edge on your garden beds, pull those late season weeds, apply weed preventative and mulch with the cleanest, smoothest mulch used in the Delaware Valley.

Don't worry that you can't find your old rusty pruners, that your back is sore just thinking of having to do this work or that you don't really like working out in the cold trying to get ready for Spring. Sit back, relax and leave the hard work to us.

If you are a current client who has had this service performed over the years, just call your sales representative to get things set up again and thanks for your business. We're glad to have served you over the years.

If you are a new client who has never had the pleasure of letting us take care of your garden for you, give us a call at 610-459-6022 (or email me at bill@styers.com) and we will get someone right over to talk with you about this program.

Have a relaxing winter. Bill Simeral, GM Landscape Services

Our Designers

Eric Leeson, RLA, Landscape Architect, Marketing & Sales
Eric on design: Generally designing with understated elegance, I advise the utilization of bold, deliberate forms to create strong statements where appropriate. In striving to be ecologically correct, I stress preservation and the use of native plants and materials. Where possible, a design should follow the path of least resistance; don't force what isn't supposed to be on a site. As an innovative problem solver as much as an artistic type of designer, I emphasize that if a plan does not work or meet the clients' needs, it isn't a good solution no matter how great or original the idea.

Matt Sigda, Landscape Design & Sales
Matt on design: When asked what my design style is, I reply, "Whatever is necessary." Every client and site is unique. When creating a design, I want to respond to the needs and budget of the client, the site, and the architecture of the home. I have a passion for plants, and strive to put the right plant in the right place. A good design will meet the goals of the client as well as the landscape designer.

David Turberville, Landscape Design & Sales
Dave on design: The primary goal in my design process is to connect the client with the landscape. The setting then dictates how I use information gathered to form natural shapes and patterns. My designs incorporate artistic and emotional techniques that will give the client not only a visual experience, but an emotional one as well, whether it's a relaxed natural setting or a dramatic formal garden, or both. When you use the right plants horticulturally, then you have a design that works.

Tricia Voss, Landscape Design & Sales
Tricia on design: Listening is the most important part of my job. My goal is to create a landscape that is an extension of the clients' lifestyle and home. The transition between outdoors and indoors should be defined by plants instead of walls and furniture. The key to a great landscape is to combine color, texture, size, form and seasonal interest into a work of art that is ever changing. I love a challenge and am always trying new things, whether it is new plant material or a new approach to improve a difficult site.
