Main Line Philadelphia’s Beautiful Flagstone Walks, Patios, and Stairs

Have you been spending time in your yard or looking out the window recently, envisioning a transformation in your home landscape? Picture the addition of a new Flagstone walk and patio with landscaping; or, maybe a curvilinear Flagstone stair and retaining wall. You may have seen a friend’s landscaped garden walk and patio that you loved, or a photograph in a magazine that is providing inspiration for your ideas.

Whether you have a fixed idea of what you would like, or you are looking for new ideas, it may be time to call in a landscape design professional. You, too, can have a beautiful Main Line Philadelphia Flagstone walk, patio, stair or retaining wall in your garden!

Now is the best time to begin the design phase of your new hardscaping for your property. When April arrives you want to be ready to break ground and get the installation process started. The Aardweg Landscaping process for beginning a new project goes like this:

Meet with the client and survey the property;
Discuss ideas and preferences;
Make some preliminary plans and cost estimates;
Determine a design drawing and presentation format;
Complete the design process and get client approvals;
Complete the installation and enjoy seeing the new landscaped garden and hardscaped walks, patio, stairs and retaining wall!

While Steve Aardweg and the Aardweg team have installed many fine gardens and beautiful Flagstone walks, patios, and stairs along the Philadelphia Main Line, it still may be possible for you to be the first in your neighborhood to have a “Signature Aardweg Landscaped Garden” to enjoy and show off.

As a local landscaping design firm, Aardweg Landscaping on the Philadelphia Main Line has been a Philadelphia Flower Show enthusiast for years! Enhancements to the 2012 Philadelphia International Flower Show will be key to this year’s success. Building on what has made the Flower Show great over the years, the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society has gathered Flower Show enthusiasts and local experts and developed a wide array of changes to come this year.

Quoting from a PHS publication summarizing the changes, “The theme of the Flower Show, “Hawaii: Islands of Aloha” will introduce a tropical experience that blends next-stage digital technology with the natural beauty and rich culture of the islands.” The following features have been added to the Sunday, March 4 through Sunday, March 11, 2012 “Hawaii: Islands of Aloha” show:

Technology Upgrades and Enhancements.
The 2012 Flower Show will feature many new technology upgrades and enhancements, including a spectacular Center Feature with sculptural forms transformed into breaking waves and lava flows; Mobile apps for Smart phones and Tablets to provide Flower Show information; and an Online Store to purchase Flower Show or PHS logo products.

Competitions, Lectures and Demonstrations.
The Designer’s Studio will introduce flower varieties and inspiring designs and include more daily competitions and floral design demonstrations than last year; and free lectures and demonstrations on topics such as sustainability, green roofs, organic gardening, edible landscapes, and more.

Hawaiian Village Shops, Crafts, Themes and Culinary Specialties.
The Hawaii Village will offer demonstrations, crafts and merchandise in the Grand Hall that highlight the people, plants and culture of Hawaii. There will also be a Hawaii-themed restaurant at the center of the exhibition hall, and special Hawaii cocktails at the beverage stations.

The 2012 Philadelphia International Flower Show is less than a month away, be sure to purchase tickets and make reservations for the special exhibits, competitions, shows and demonstrations you plan to visit this year.

Formal Landscaping Design on Philadelphia’s Main Line with Video Highlights

Here we have all of the ingredients of a professionally designed formal garden located on Philadelphia’s Main Line. Enjoy the photos we’ve provided in this article, and this brief narrated video showing garden highlights for your viewing pleasure.

Aardweg Landscaping of Newtown Square designed this formal landscape for the front entrance and courtyard of this beautiful Mediterranean styled home. The traditional formal garden is characterized by symmetry, line, ornamentation, boxwoods, and lines of parterre outlining the walks and courtyard – all characteristics of this exquisite formal landscaped garden design.

With expert knowledge in the selection and use of horticultural materials, Steve Aardweg, APLD of Aardweg Landscaping has created a beautiful design featuring cobble stone walks and courtyard, traditional gravel path, evergreens, annuals, and perennials in this engaging formal landscaping design. He has selected groups of smaller shrubs for lines of parterre along the walks; and magnolias for the large framing, with cherry laurels, and euonymus to create massings.

Annuals are placed symmetrically along the entrance, with a touch of perennials on both sides of the courtyard. A traditional gravel path lined with cobble stone, moves away from the courtyard, with hydrangeas on either side.

If you are interested in seeing more of our work, Aardweg Landscaping has posted a series of seven videos highlighting our work for prestigious residences along the Main Line and at other suburban Philadelphia properties.

Aardweg Landscaping plans, designs and installs a wide array of garden styles and themes. This formal garden is just one of scores of landscaped gardens designed and installed by Aardweg Landscaping in communities in southeastern Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey, and northern Delaware during the last 35 years.

As professional landscape designers and installers, we have the experience, high quality workmanship and competitive pricing to provide you with a landscaped garden design you will love!
