Our GardensLet's Work Together
About Us
Our founder, Donald Pell, gained an appreciation for landscapes and plants early in life. After expanding his abilities alongside talented architects, Donald decided to put his enthusiasm into practice. Today, Donald and the rest of our team apply their diverse sets of knowledge and expertise as they work to create well-designed gardens built to spark joy as they grow and change. From drawing out your dream garden on paper to building it on the land, our horticulture architects will collaborate with qualified building partners to deliver high-value designs tailored to your desires and space. Our Building & Design ProcessArtistic Approach
Artistic Approach
Our approach to garden design is at the intersection of wildness and order. We will analyze your property and carefully take into account its elements to create a truly dynamic garden made to complement your property’s character and to be appreciated through the years.Incredible Variety
Incredible Variety
The majority 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 as often as possible, but we also observe that diverse garden compositions composed of some novel plants often promote extended beauty and longevity.Wildlife Minded
Wildlife Minded
We prioritize creating beautiful landscapes which offer favorable ecosystems for pollinators, allowing you to be a good friend of the environment whilst enjoying well-conceived beauty. Eco-friendly and visually stunning, our gardens are made to offer the benefits of both worlds.Minimal Maintenance
Minimal Maintenance
Once established, our gardens are designed to grow well by themselves, with little to zero mulching or watering required. However, minor adjustments may be necessary at various times to preserve design integrity and ensure ongoing plant health. Our internal staff will be happy to offer assistance or guidance at these periods.What Sets Us Apart
Other local landscape designers may be able to give you gardens which look nice, but we go well past simple aesthetics. We pull from numerous decades of hands-on work and vast horticultural education to curate gardens that are well positioned to thrive in harmony, with little maintenance needed as the seasons change. Our installers orient plants with intention, giving mind to how they will grow and highlight certain other design centerpieces on your site. We believe that collaboration is vital, and we will work in conjunction with you to honor your aspirations 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.
