BRING JOY TO YOUR CHILDREN’S GARDEN

Encourage little ones’ love of nature with a thoughtfully designed children’s garden. Careful planning will result in a garden that suits the aesthetic of the home and existing landscape while catering to the specific needs and interests of children.

SAFE ENVIRONMENTS WITH ENDLESS OPPORTUNITIES

Garden spaces for children offer endless opportunities for learning and exploration. As we design, we will keep in mind the size and energy levels of the little ones playing there. We want all kids to feel safe and sheltered in their special garden spaces.

NATURE INSPIRED PLAY

Hanselman Landscape can create natural outdoor spaces that are uniquely designed for different types of play, allowing children to make meaningful memories in the sunshine and fresh air. For example, this courtyard garden includes grassy hills, a meandering tricycle path, a clean “sandbox” using river gravel, a stone staircase through a boulder “canyon” leading to a slide, and trees to provide shade on hot days.

DISCOVERY

Twists and turns in a pathway, rocks for climbing, or a sandy “beach” are all elements we can incorporate in a garden to foster your children’s natural curiosity, sense of wonder, and creativity.

Testimonials

What surprised us most was how much more we love our home since Hanselman Landscape began working here! In addition to the beautiful new backyard oasis they created, they are here regularly to care for our plants, turning existing shrubs that we thought were worthless into beautiful, valuable specimens.

David and Jan , Lancaster, PA

Our needs were to have as much privacy as possible from neighboring homes. Everything was done to perfection. This was the first time in a while (even with building a new home) that we gave the job to someone and never, ever had to go over again and again what was to be done.

Michael H. , Hummelstown, PA

Words do not serve well to express the sense of serenity and pleasure which your fine work evokes. I would liken the feeling to that of walking alone through a great museum.

Tony , Camp Hill, PA

I can’t even put into words how much I love my new yard. Hanselman Landscape did an outstanding job–changing an ugly piece of land into a serene and beautiful garden. The workmanship of Hanselman Landscape’s employees is of the highest quality.

Amy , Enola, PA

Hanselman Landscape has helped us re-landscape our property over the past 3 years. James has a way of guiding you through your own garden, taking in the vantage points, and uncovering your vision (even though you didn’t know you had one)!

Michael and Sonja , Lititz, PA

We liked the way James (Hanselman) explained and introduced the suggested plantings, actually showing us leaf samples. We needed and appreciated his guidance. Thanks for adding to our enjoyment of our home with your creative landscaping.

Will and Janice , New Holland, PA
