The right plant can change the way a property feels. A well-placed tree gives an entrance a sense of scale. New shrubs bring structure to an exposed foundation. A layered garden bed turns an unused stretch of yard into something you enjoy seeing every day.
Those results depend on more than plant selection. Adams Property Maintenance installs trees, shrubs, perennials, and planting beds for homeowners throughout Delaware County and the Main Line, with attention to placement, soil conditions, and the care new plants need to establish.

A new landscape should make sense both on installation day and years later. Before plants go into the ground, we consider the size they will reach, the light they will receive, and how they relate to the home, walkways, patios, and existing landscape.
That matters whether the project involves a single feature tree or an entire set of garden beds. Trees need room for their roots and canopy. Foundation shrubs should frame a house without obscuring it. Perennials and groundcovers should form a considered composition as they mature.
Adams Property Maintenance offers both landscape design and installation, so we can help develop a planting concept and carry it through to the finished project.
What We Install
We undertake planting projects of different sizes for properties across Delaware County and the Main Line, including:
- Shade and ornamental trees for structure, scale, and seasonal interest
- Evergreens and screening plants for year-round form and privacy
- Foundation shrubs that complement the architecture of the home
- Perennial and mixed planting beds for color, texture, and layered growth
- Groundcovers and seasonal plantings that complete a garden design
- Replacement plantings for overgrown, damaged, or poorly performing beds
Plant choices depend on the property. A sunny front yard in Broomall calls for a different approach than a shaded garden in Wayne or a damp area in Newtown Square. We look at the site before recommending what to plant.
Installation Details That Matter
A healthy tree or shrub can struggle when it is planted too deep, placed in poorly draining soil, or crowded against other plants. Proper installation gives roots a better opportunity to grow into the surrounding ground.
Our approach starts with the conditions on your property. That includes checking drainage, preparing the planting area, setting plants at an appropriate depth, and leaving enough space for mature growth. For trees, the root flare—the point where the trunk widens into the roots—should remain visible at the soil surface. Mulch helps conserve moisture, but it should be kept clear of trunks and stems.
Soil preparation is tailored to the site. Adding large amounts of compost to an individual planting hole is not always helpful, particularly where surrounding soil drains slowly. The goal is to help roots establish beyond the original hole, not confine them to it.
The First Seasons of Care
Installation is the beginning of a new planting, not the end of its care. Trees, shrubs, and perennials need appropriate watering while their roots establish, especially through dry spells. How often to water depends on the plant, weather, soil, and drainage.
We can discuss the care your installation will require and the maintenance services that may help keep the landscape in shape. Thoughtful watering, mulch kept at the proper depth, and seasonal attention give new plantings a stronger start.
New Beds, Established Properties
Plant installation does not always require starting from scratch. Many Delaware County and Main Line properties already have mature trees or garden features worth preserving. New planting can strengthen what is there: soften a patio, bring color to an established border, improve privacy, or give an overgrown front bed a clearer shape.
We can also consider planting as part of a larger landscape project. When walkways, patios, or drainage work are involved, planning those elements together helps the completed property feel cohesive.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a landscape design before having plants installed?
That depends on the project. A focused replacement may be straightforward, while a new garden bed or larger planting project benefits from a plan for placement, plant combinations, and mature size. We can discuss the right level of design for your property when you request a quote.
What is the best time to plant trees and shrubs in this area?
Spring and fall are common planting seasons in southeastern Pennsylvania. The best timing depends on the species, weather, site conditions, and the care available after installation. New plants require particular attention to watering whenever they are installed.
Why does planting depth matter?
Planting a tree too deeply can limit the oxygen available to its roots and keep moisture against its trunk. Setting it at the proper depth, with the root flare visible, is an important part of successful tree installation.
Can you replace old foundation shrubs without redesigning my entire yard?
Yes. A foundation planting can be addressed as a focused project. We can look at what is overgrown or underperforming, consider what should remain, and recommend replacements suited to the space and the appearance you want.
Do you offer ongoing care after installation?
Adams Property Maintenance offers landscape maintenance services, including bed care, mulching, and seasonal work. We can discuss care options alongside your planting project.
Do installed plants come with a warranty?
Warranty terms, if offered, should be confirmed in your project quote. Ask us about the terms for the particular plants and installation you are considering.
