About Us
Our founder, Donald Pell, gained a zest for landscapes and plants early in life. After expanding his knowledge with guidance from talented architects, Donald decided to put his enthusiasm to work. Since then, Donald and our other team members draw on their diverse arrays of knowledge and backgrounds as they strive to bring to life intentional gardens built to delight as they grow and change. From drawing out your ideal garden on paper to building it on the land, our horticulture architects will work alongside qualified building partners to deliver high-value designs tailored to your vision and location. Our Building & Design ProcessCreative Approach
Creative Approach
Our philosophy for garden design is at the meetingplace of wildness and order. We will analyze your property and carefully consider its elements to fashion a truly immersive garden made to complement your property’s essence and to be appreciated over time.Marvelous Variety
Marvelous Variety
Most of our plants are sourced from trusted growers. To supplement, we propagate less popular varieties on our own at our small nursery. We emphasize use of locally growing plants as often as possible, but we also observe that diverse garden compositions composed of some novel plants often promote extended appeal and longevity.Wildlife Friendly

We aim to create stunning gardens which offer suitable ecosystems for pollinators, enabling you to be a good steward of the environment while reveling in well-conceptualized beauty. Green and visually pleasing, our gardens are made to provide the benefits of both worlds.Minimal Maintenance
Minimal Maintenance
Once rooted, our gardens are planned to do well on their own, with little to no mulching or watering needed. Still, some adjustments may be necessary at certain points to maintain design details and ensure ongoing plant health. Our in-house team will be available to offer assistance or advice at these times.What Sets Us Apart

We draw on multiple decades of expertise and vast horticultural knowledge to curate gardens which are well poised to thrive harmoniously, with little maintenance required as the seasons change. Our installers place plants with intention, paying mind to how they will grow and accent certain other design features on your property. We believe that collaboration is crucial, and we will work closely with you to honor your desires for your unique garden.

Bala Cynwyd ( BAL-ə-KIN-wuud) is a community in Lower Merion Township, Pennsylvania. It is located on the Philadelphia Main Line in Southeastern Pennsylvania and borders the western edge of Philadelphia at U.S. Route 1 (City Avenue). The present-day community was originally two separate towns, Bala and Cynwyd, but was united as a singular community largely because the U.S. Post Office, the Bala Cynwyd branch, served both towns using ZIP Code 19004. The community was long known as hyphenated Bala-Cynwyd. Bala and Cynwyd are currently served by separate stations on SEPTA's Cynwyd Line of Regional Rail.
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.
