TerraGreen is the only Phipps-accredited, WBE-certified landscape design-build firm in the Pittsburgh metro. We start with a hand-drawn design — plant by plant, hardscape section by section — before you approve a single dollar.
"Every landscaper you called showed you what they already know how to build. That is not design — that is inventory."
Most South Hills landscapers are maintenance companies that took on design work. They plant what they buy at cost. They stamp concrete because they own the mold. There is a real difference between a firm that landscapes and a firm that designs landscapes. TerraGreen starts with your site: your drainage, your grade, your light, your vision. The result looks like it has always been there — because it was designed for exactly where you live.
Every engagement begins with a site assessment and hand-drawn design. We do not sub out design to a sales rep with a tablet — we produce a custom drawing of your actual property before any work is approved.
Pennsylvania native sedges, coneflowers, blue flag iris — selected not because they photograph well, but because your soil, light, and drainage grade make them the right choice. That distinction is what Phipps accreditation actually means on the ground.
TerraGreen's four-step process is built to eliminate the gap between what you describe and what gets installed. No surprises once the crew arrives. No substitute for the design you approved.
Takes 90 seconds. A TerraGreen designer will review your project and reach out to schedule your complimentary site visit within one business day.
