Northampton’s connection to the outdoors can be seen throughout the borough, from the D&L and Nor-Bath trails to Canal Street Park, the Heritage Trail and Municipal Park. Creative Landscapes helps Northampton homeowners bring that same appreciation for attractive, functional outdoor spaces to their own properties.

Since 1986, our Lehigh Valley landscaping company has designed and installed custom patios, planting, pool landscapes, outdoor kitchens, fire features and complete outdoor living environments. Each project is planned around the property, the homeowner’s priorities and the way the space will be used.

Outdoor Spaces Made for Living

A backyard can become a place for quiet mornings, family meals, poolside afternoons and evenings around a fire. A front landscape can create a more welcoming entrance and connect the home with the surrounding property.

Creative Landscapes brings these elements together within one coordinated design. Instead of treating a patio, walkway, planting bed or outdoor structure as an isolated feature, our designers consider how each component contributes to the complete landscape.

What Can We Create for Your Northampton Property?

Places to Gather and Entertain

A thoughtfully planned outdoor living area gives family and guests a comfortable place to spend time together. Creative Landscapes designs and installs:

These features can be combined into one entertaining area or introduced in phases as your plans develop.

Walkways, Entrances and Structural Features

Hardscaping helps organize the property and make outdoor areas easier to use. Our hardscape capabilities include pavers, flagstone, stamped concrete, retaining walls, masonry, steps and stone treads.

Creative Landscapes also designs:

  • Walkways and driveways
  • Brick and stone entrance columns
  • Masonry walls
  • Paver borders
  • Gates and fencing
  • Fountains and custom entrance details
  • Outdoor steps
  • Landscape and pathway lighting

A coordinated entrance design can bring the driveway, front walkway, planting and architectural features together while creating a more inviting first impression.

Planting With Color, Texture and Structure

Planting gives a landscape its living character. Our planting services include trees, shrubs, flowers, perennials, ornamental grasses and ground cover.

Our team considers where each plant will be placed and helps clients select appropriate material for different areas of the property. Planting can soften hardscape edges, create seasonal interest, frame an entrance or add visual separation around an outdoor living area.

Pool Landscapes

Creative Landscapes specializes in designing and installing the landscape surrounding swimming pools. We work with Lehigh Valley pool builders to coordinate features such as:

  • Pool patios and coping
  • Steps and swim-outs
  • Waterfalls
  • Fencing placement
  • Outdoor lighting
  • Pergolas
  • Surrounding planting

Planning these components together helps the pool landscape feel connected to the home and the rest of the property.

Ponds, Waterfalls and Outdoor Lighting

A custom pond or water feature can introduce movement, sound and a natural focal point. Options include waterfalls, fountains, streams, koi ponds, bio-filters, boulder outcroppings, decorative stone, aquatic vegetation and accent lighting.

Outdoor lighting can illuminate walkways, patios, decks, planting and water features while making the landscape more enjoyable after sunset.

Our Landscape Design Process

Creative Landscapes begins by meeting with you on-site. Your designer evaluates the property, listens to your ideas and discusses your priorities and budget.

The resulting landscape plan is drawn to scale, helping identify the elements needed during construction and establish accurate project costs. Detailed 3D renderings may also be used to show how the proposed features will relate to one another.

Once the plan is finalized, our in-house team of landscapers, masons and craftspeople manages the installation. Larger designs may be completed as one project or divided into multiple phases.

Continued Landscape Care

Existing Creative Landscapes clients can also choose weekly, biweekly or seasonal landscape maintenance. Available services include:

  • Spring cleanup
  • Edging and mulching
  • Stone dressing
  • Pruning
  • Fall cutbacks
  • General landscape cleanup

Continued care helps protect the appearance of the completed landscape as plants mature and the seasons change.
