Frequently Asked Questions
What is residential landscape design?
Residential landscape design is the planning and layout of outdoor spaces to improve function, appearance, and long-term sustainability. It considers property layout, drainage, sun exposure, soil conditions, plant selection, and homeowner lifestyle, ensuring the final design works with Pennsylvania’s climate and seasonal changes.
Why should homeowners invest in professional landscape design?
Professional landscape design helps homeowners avoid costly mistakes, maximize usable outdoor space, and improve property value. A well-planned design ensures plants are properly spaced, drainage issues are addressed early, and the landscape remains attractive and manageable as it matures. Professional landscape design can boost a home’s resale value by 15% to 20%, according to the ASLA, with a well-maintained lawn offering an ROI of up to 217%.
How does landscape design differ from landscape installation?
Landscape design focuses on planning and visualization, while landscape installation is the physical construction and planting of the design. Design creates the roadmap; installation brings it to life. Many homeowners choose both services together for a seamless process.
What factors are considered during the landscape design process?
Residential landscape design evaluates lot size, grading, water flow, existing features, sun and shade patterns, soil type, and homeowner goals. Local considerations such as freeze-thaw cycles, rainfall, and regional plant performance are also factored into every design.
Do you design landscapes for Pennsylvania’s climate?
Yes. Designs prioritize region-appropriate plant selections and materials that perform well in Eastern Pennsylvania’s hot summers, cold winters, and variable precipitation. Our designs prioritize native Pennsylvania species like Winterberry Holly and Bee Balm, which support local pollinators and require significantly less water and fertilizer once established. This approach improves longevity and reduces long-term maintenance needs.
Can landscape design help with drainage and erosion issues?
Yes. Landscape design plays a critical role in managing runoff, slope, and water retention. Thoughtful grading, plant placement, and bed layout help prevent erosion, standing water, and foundation-adjacent moisture problems common in many Lehigh Valley properties.
How long does the residential landscape design process take?
Most residential landscape designs are completed within one to two weeks, depending on property size and project complexity. Larger or multi-phase designs may take longer to ensure accuracy and long-term performance.
Do I need to install everything at once after design?
No. Many homeowners use landscape design as a phased roadmap, allowing installation to be completed over time. This approach helps manage budgets while maintaining design consistency across future upgrades.
What areas do you serve for residential landscape design?
Residential landscape design services are available throughout the Lehigh Valley, including Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, Coopersburg, Quakertown, Hellertown, and surrounding communities across Lehigh, Northampton, and Bucks counties.
How do I get started with residential landscape design?
Homeowners can request a complimentary consultation to discuss goals, property challenges, and design preferences. The process begins with an on-site evaluation to ensure the design aligns with the property’s layout and long-term needs. In the Lehigh Valley, a professional 2D landscape roadmap typically starts between $500 and $1,500, depending on property complexity.

What Are Our Clients Saying About Award Services?
Award Services was professional and very knowledgable, making them super easy to work with. The patio and landscaping project they brought to life exceeded our expectations! Highly recommend!
Smith's
Would highly recommend Award Services for any landscaping job. The crew was extremely professional, responsive, and accommodating to my needs. We wanted an area to put an above ground pool for the kids in the back yard, and Award Services took care of the entire job. They were extremely communicative to ensure that I got the finished results that I wanted, and even laid down the turf I had bought for the area. Cleaned up and put back together a fence that I had removed so they could access the area! I will definitely be utilizing Award Services for any future projects!

Award Services installed landscaping and hardscaping at our home. I highly recommend them. They were prompt, courteous, friendly and easy to work with. They did everything we agreed upon and even took care of some unexpected things that came up during the process. The design and execution of our project was top notch. We will have them back in the spring to work on our backyard.
Patti Vanin
Award Services created a deck and a patio in my backyard and a sidewalk in the front of my house. Eric, a master craftsman, did a beautiful job on all of the structures. My husband and I have had dozens of positive comments from our neighbors, and one neighbor hired Award Services to build his deck after seeing ours. The owner of Award Services gave us an accurate quote, the work was completed in a timely manner, and all of the workers were polite. The craftsmanship and excellence of the two decks created by Award Services are definitely the most stunning of all the decks in my neighborhood. I highly recommend this company. Positive Responsiveness, Punctuality, Quality, Professionalism, Value
Kathleen Bartholomew
We just finished a few smaller projects with Colby and Award Servies. We appreciated the detail and thought that went into our walkway, back yard beds, tress planted, and shed pad even though they were smaller projects. The crew was on time and cleaned up after themselves. Looking forward to using them again for our backyard patio and future outdoor projects. Services Landscape installations, Walkway landscaping
