Landscape design in Hamburg, NY

Two Hamburg redesigns

Both Hamburg projects started the same way, with a tired front yard. Old plants that had outgrown their spots came out. New beds were laid out with clean lines, and new shrubs went in with space to fill out. The before and after photos are on our Hamburg landscaping page.

Other Hamburg work includes beds brought back with trimming and fresh mulch, and a thin lawn brought back with seeding. A design often ties those pieces together into one plan.

Landscape design across the town of Hamburg

The town runs inland from the Lake Erie shore, with Eighteen Mile Creek along its southern edge. It takes in the villages of Hamburg and Blasdell, plus lakeside communities like Wanakah and Athol Springs.

Homes vary a lot across that area, so there is no standard plan. A yard in the village near Route 62 and Route 75 calls for a different design than one off Route 5 by the lake. We plan around the house, the lot, how you use the yard and how much upkeep you want.

Designed for Western New York weather

Plants here have to handle clay soil, wet springs and heavy snow. We pick shrubs and perennials that suit the spot, keep foundation plantings back from where the roof drops snow, and leave space by the driveway for the plow pile.

If your plan includes a patio or a wall, the Town of Hamburg Building Inspection department is the office to ask about permits. Village residents may need their village office instead. We check during planning.

What a landscape design costs

The cost depends on the size of the area, how much has to come out, the number and size of new plants and whether hardscape is part of it. The consultation is free, and our guide to landscape design cost explains what moves the number.
