Steve read our minds, bringing to life exactly what we needed and wanted. We now also have an un-intimidating and doable plan of maintenance. Very highly recommended.

Our pleasure working for the Hayden's. And good to work in Narberth where I lived as a younger man!

The landscaping at our new house requires a major update, and Steve has been very helpful in guiding us through the process. The first stage, which was just completed, involved removing some hardscapes and overgrown planting. Steve is highly knowledgeable and has made himself available to meet our schedules. The first phase of our project was completed in a timely fashion and under budget. We look forward to working with Steve on the next phase!

I look forward to the next phase of Susan's project [which is the part I most like], and 90% of why folks hire me - the Creative part. She and I have had discussions, she put together and sent me an Ideabook so I could "get" her aesthetic, and I in turn did digital imagery for her consideration. She loved it. Onwards and upwards!

Steve is a superb landscape designer. He created a plan to totally re-landscape our front yard, including our foundation beds, a wild, overgrown area between the street and a stream and a side yard bed. He put a tremendous amount of time into the planning phase, working closely and collaboratively with us, to ensure that we achieved our vision and goals. His installation team is very professional. The result is stunningly beautiful, with a variety of trees, bushes and perennials. Working with Steve was a genuine pleasure.

Comment from Aardweg Landscaping:
We really enjoyed working for Elliot and taking on his project. Here's a fellow who does his homework and chose us for the redo of his Wynnewod property . I was impressed with his research and also his quick grasp of our process. He gave the needed aesthetic input so that we could arrive at a design that fit his style. A real pleasure working for him, and I look forward to doing more for him next year.

My expectations were exceeded for all phases of the job which included planning and preparation, selection of plants, design and layout, experience and efficiency of staff, and timeliness of completion of job. I could not have selected a better firm to do this job.

Steve was a pleasure to work with. He listened to us but also guided us to an end result that would work. The work was completed within the deadline and the garden that he created in our backyard makes me smile very time I go out.

Working with Steve was a blast. We interviewed several well-rated, recommended, contractors and most seemed like they would do a good job. But Steve really differentiated himself by bringing creativity and vision to the project. He didn't just ask us what we wanted to do and then give us a quote. He told us when he had better ideas than what we initially thought and when we asked him for suggestions he always had great things in mind.
On execution, Steve was beyond flawless. Not only did he deliver everything to high standard and on time, he went above and beyond to add elements (at his own expense) that during installation he thought were needed for the design to be complete. Pictures speak 1000 words, so I highly recommend checking out pictures of our place and his other work, could not possibly be happier. Can't wait to start grilling!

Dov and Jeanne were great clients. I appreciated their patience and interaction during the entire process so that we all got the finished product that we wished for. I look forward to working with them in the future to make the front as nice as the back is.
See Dov and Jeanne's job in my projects in Houzz under " Outdoor Kitchen in Merion Station". Great clients are what make my day - I feel fortunate to work for these folks!

If I could rate more than 5 stars, I would, as Steve and his crew went beyond just doing the job well.
His out-of-the-box suggestions (and high ratings on Houzz) were what tipped me toward hiring him; I was a little nervous that the scope of the project would be too large, as it was one of the largest he'd done, but was SO pleased with the results, and would recommend him for any size project.
It makes me so happy to look out into my backyard, and Steve took care to listen to our needs (no time = drip irrigation everywhere; husband wanted a specific stone look for around the pool / patio = hours of research to find out how it could work; I wanted roses = Steve found an area it would fit, and added trellises to enhance the effect, etc.).
We are using Steve to fix up our front and side yard next spring/fall: repeat business is one of the best indicators of success!

It was a great pleasure working for Jeanne and Dov. They were so patient and polite!
I felt bad that after they had given up their driveway for over 6 months to the indoor remodeler, I came in and took it for another 2 months - but Jeanne was gracious at all times. The above pictures are 2 shots of their backyard BEFORE and 2 shots AFTER that are by my client.
See my portfolio for more images of this great job.
Dov wanted a pergola that would be "kosher" as a sukkah, so he asked his rabbi for some guidance and we were able to accommodate that in our design. Now he has a place to chill and also to be observant!

My husband and I hired Aardweg Landscaping to "redo" our backyard following a tree removal this spring. We could not be more pleased with the results! We met Steve Aardweg for an initial consultation to discuss the scope of the work needed and to share ideas about what we had in mind. Steve listened carefully, offering his expertise in suggesting trees and plants that would be appropriate for the sunny location on our backyard slope. Steve had us create a Houzz Ideabook so that he could understand our preferences in design and color choices. We also asked him to create a digital version of our project so that we might have a better idea of his vision for our property. We discussed the pricing for our project. Steve was willing to work with our budget, offering several options that would allow us to complete our landscaping all-at-once or over several seasons. Also, there was price flexibility based on the type and number of plants used in our project. My husband and I decided on a project to be done all-at-once in the mid-price range offered.
Our project involved removing a lot of ground cover ivy, ameliorating the soil, constructing a low stone wall using stone already part of our backyard, and then planting an array of small trees, bushes and plants that will give our back yard interest throughout the seasons. He brought many more plants to our project than he expected to use so that he had the materials to create our backyard landscaping design with a variety of textures, colors, heights, and blooming seasons. He also installed a automatic watering system on a timer so that my husband and I are not responsible for the ongoing watering maintenance of these many plants.
During this entire project, Steve and his assistant, Nestor, were hardworking, knowledgeable, and thoroughly professional. They completed the work on time and on budget, and the results are beautiful. I would highly recommend Aardweg Landscaping to anyone contemplating a landscaping project.

A friend highly recommended Aardweg Landscaping for redoing the front yard of our 1940s brick cape.
Simply put, I could not be more pleased with his work.
The process included an initial meeting and several friendly email exchanges to clarify ideas and designs. Steve provided a lot of great resources which helped me better define the look I was going for, and then he walked me through the pros and cons of various plant/shrub selections. He had many terrific suggestions which in the end became part of the landscape design. Before any actual work started, he emailed a “virtual landscape” which was incredibly helpful, to be able to see what the yard would look like. He offered it as a starting point, but I loved it so much I made zero changes. A budget range was quoted, however, Steve assured me that I would be thrilled anywhere within that low-mid-high range. It’s true; I am absolutely *thrilled* with the end result, and the work took way less time than I thought it would.
I am already talking to Steve about redoing our backyard. He asks targeted questions to determine goals and designs with these goals in mind. In addition, he’s just a really nice guy with a great sense of humor. There were a lot of laughs throughout the process. 5 stars only because 6 isn’t an option.

This is the third time we used Aardweg Landscaping. The first two gardens they created for us in the last 4 years look great now. Their price is not the least expensive, but they normally give 3 different ranges of cost from which we can choose. Also, they try hard to incorporate our wishes for designs and plants we want to have. They are real professionals and they care about the quality of their work. Even after a few years from the project completion, they still come back and take care of problems (e.g., broken tubes in the irrigation system). They are very reliable. We recommend them with our utmost confidence.

We hired Aardweg Landscaping to work on a portion of our front yard. The yard is very shady and slopes downhill from the street to our house. We were having trouble with erosion. Steve worked with us to create a landscape that fit our desire for an interesting variety of plants in an informal, low-maintenance design appropriate for a wooded neighborhood. He designed a layout that provides a great view from inside our house and from the street. We were happy with the information and communication he provided throughout the process. Steve and company did great work within the agreed-upon budget. The result is a front yard we are very happy with. We hope to work with Aardweg Landscaping again in the future on other parts of our property.

Comment from Aardweg Landscaping:
It was our pleasure to work for Sarah and Jeff. Their home in valley Forge area was very woodsy, so we really had to keep an eye on the materials due to ridiculously heavy deer pressure - way heavier than normal. Hope to work with them in the future to do their entire property.
