Our approach to landscape design is at the intersection of nature and order. We will evaluate your property and carefully consider its elements to create a truly compelling garden made to enhance your property’s essence and to be appreciated over time.Incredible Variety
Incredible Variety
Most of our plants come from trusted growers. To supplement, we propagate less popular varieties on our own at our small plant nursery. We prioritize use of native plants whenever possible, but we also observe that diversified garden compositions featuring some novel plants are often most conducive to maximized appeal and longevity.Wildlife Minded

Low Maintenance
Once rooted, our gardens are intended to grow well on their own, with little to zero mulching or watering needed. However, some adjustments may be necessary at certain points to maintain design integrity and ensure ongoing plant well-being. Our in-house staff will be happy to provide support or guidance at these times.What Sets Us Apart

George Washington's crossing of the Delaware River, which occurred on the night of December 25–26, 1776 during the American Revolutionary War, was the first move in a surprise attack organized by George Washington, the commanding general of the Continental Army, against Hessian forces, which were German auxiliaries aiding the British. After crossing the Delaware River clandestinely, Washington and his troops successfully attacked the Hessian forces in the Battle of Trenton in Trenton on the morning of December 26, 1776. The military campaign was organized in great secrecy by Washington, who led a column of Continental Army troops from today's Bucks County, Pennsylvania across the icy Delaware River to today's Mercer County, New Jersey in what was one of the Revolutionary War's most logistically challenging and dangerous operations.
I have worked with Donald Pell Gardens for several years, and have only positive things to say about the entire team. From concept to completion, they are thorough, organized and incredibly easy to work with. I would recommend them without any reservations!

I saw Donald Pell's signage on my way to work. It was the best phone call I ever made. Donald and his entire team are professional, thorough, and do an excellent job. Once the job is completed they continue to monitor the job. It's nice to see a company that takes pride in their work. The photos I have attached are plantings that are only 5 months young. I would highly recommend this company.

I was on the phone with Jenna their landscape architect and I thought she's awesome. I would hire them sight unseen! She was so wonderful listening and providing me with her professional insights about my plans that I only wish I could hire them except my property is too small. This company really cares about their clients and even prospective clients! That's RARE to find and a solid winner for me.

Don Pell and his team were fantastic. They apprised of us what to expect for our project from time frame to cost to detailed plans. The team was excellent answering questions and giving us maintenance ideas. Included was a detailed "blueprint" with names of plantings.The group did four meadows for us and all are thriving 1-3 years after planting.Don Pell was available by phone whenever necessary. We highly recommend the Don Pell team and if we had any more areas to plant, would hire them again!

We engaged Don Pell Gardens six months before our new house was finished with the goals of creating a landscape design that anchored our new home to the rural/mountain environment, stabilized steep terrain and managed water run off from the large roof area. Don's was attentive to our needs and concerns to ensure they were reflected in his proposal. The design and implementation exceeded our expectations. In addition to accomplishing the stated goals we have beautiful gardens that we will enjoy for many years to come. Don's team were very focused, professional, courteous and worked seamlessly with our builders as they completed the house. Even our builders were complimentary! We have no hesitation in recommending Don Pell Gardens. In fact we intend on having him back in the future.
