I listen closely to your thoughts and visions and change mere landscapes into beautiful livingscapes. Hand drawn designs and 42 years' experience are part of the magic. Choosing the right plantings and maintaining them properly can make or break the longevity of your landscape. Here's how I do things differently. I specialize in beautiful dry stone walls that last a lifetime, as well as well planned concrete hardscape and landscape lighting that give you hours of additional outdoor enjoyment. Jim's creative and design ability really wowed us.

I've built a national reputation for historically correct gardens designs and installations for some of Lancaster's most notable farms, country homes and estates. It's been my pleasure and good fortune to enhance the lives of my clients and their families. No matter what the project size, and you can see a wide variety here, I treat each one with a level of care and attention that is increasingly hard to find, and brings people back to me time and again.One of my greatest pleasures is the relationships I've built with my clients over the decades.
We humans are visual creatures. But, sometimes, even glossy magazine photos aren't enough to inspire the right vision for our dream landscape design. That's why we invite you to take a self-guided tour of our Scenic Showcase, featuring a pond, gazebo, rustic cabin, millstones, dry stone walls - so many ideas to ponder as you walk around at your own pace.
Do you love the outdoors and the satisfaction of creating stunning beauty with your own two hands? Spring is less than a month away and we are looking for a good person to join our team of installation landscape pros. The work is rewarding as you help bring a homeowner's dream to life. You will have the opportunity to do a variety of different activities to bring out the best in your surroundings.

Jim has done landscaping for me for more than 20 years. He is unmatched in quality, perfection, and attention to detail. He works on the job himself and never shrinks from heavy, difficult work. Jim is an artist who looks at a property (in disarray) and envisions the finished result. He can really transform a property. His ideas are superior, always exactly correct for a particular area.
I cannot imagine anyone else coming close to Jim's work. I like Jim to tell me what is best for my space. I like him to plan his own design and do what he knows will work best. I have been very fortunate to find Jim, and I am grateful that he has been willing to do my jobs. Jim is one in a million, and I appreciate him every time I look around at my property.

Jim created an unbelievable garden for the Clinic for Special Children, a local nonprofit in Strasburg. He not only provided an exceptional design, including lighting, he donated EVERYTHING. hardscaping materials, custom fixtures, plants, shrubs, and labor. He even worked with a volunteer crew to finalize the planting and mulching. Jim's designs are remarkable and unique. I could not recommend him more.

Jim and his crew created a beautiful lanscape for the front of our home. The curb appeal is beautiful and the new lampost and lantern brought out the colonial style of our home. Jim and I clicked with our combined ideas. The work was done in half a day( including removal of old shubbery root systems and trimming of existing trees and shubbery) and it was done quickly and professionally. I would highly recommend Jim's Landscaping.

I reap the benefits of Jim's knowledge and creativity daily. He can envision and design spaces that are easy to maintain as well as inspiring, unique and special in every season. When you are ready to create the welcoming outdoor environment you've been dreaming of, I highly recommend using Jim's Landscaping to make it become a reality.
