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 was moved to put his enthusiasm to work. Since then, Donald and our other team members draw on their diverse arrays of knowledge and skills as they work to create intentional gardens built to delight as they evolve. From drawing out your dream garden on paper to building it at your site, our horticulture architects will collaborate with qualified building partners to deliver high-value designs catered to your vision and space. Our Building & Design ProcessArtful Approach
Artful Approach
Our philosophy for landscape design is at the intersection of nature and order. We will evaluate your property and carefully take into account its elements to fashion a truly dynamic garden made to complement your property’s character and to be appreciated over time.Incredible Variety
Incredible Variety
The majority of our plants are sourced from trusted horticulturalists. As a supplement, we cultivate less common varieties ourselves at our small nursery. We prioritize use of locally growing plants whenever possible, but we also recognize that diversified garden compositions composed of some novel plants often promote extended appeal and longevity.Wildlife Minded

We aim to create stunning gardens which offer favorable ecosystems for pollinators, allowing you to be a good steward of the environment whilst enjoying well-conceived beauty. Green and visually pleasing, our gardens are made to offer the benefits of both worlds.Low Maintenance
Low Maintenance
Once rooted, our gardens are designed to do well by themselves, with little to no mulching or watering needed. Still, minor attention may be needed at certain times to maintain design details and ensure ongoing plant well-being. Our internal staff will be happy to provide assistance or insights at these periods.What Sets Us Apart
Other local landscape designers may be able to offer gardens which look pretty, but we go well past just aesthetics. We draw on multiple decades of hands-on work and vast horticultural knowledge to curate gardens that are well positioned to thrive harmoniously, with little upkeep needed as the seasons change. Our installers place plants with intention, giving close attention to how they will grow and accent specific other design features on your property. We feel that communication is crucial, and we will work in conjunction with you to fulfill your aspirations for your unique garden.

By seeing the space in real life, we can fully envision the potential, pinpointing its inherent strengths and manners in which well-planned landscaping can make it even better.After a detailed discussion, we will propose different options. Once we have come to a consensus and construction begins, our skilled team will be on premises to prepare the area and soil, install plants and hardscapes and oversee the entire process.

Philadelphia is known for its extensive contributions to American history, especially the American Revolution, and for its contemporary influence in business and industry, culture, sports, and music.
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.
