Even a well-manicured landscape can use that extra bit of attention to bring it to the next level. Our trimming and edging services are sure to transform any ordinary lawn into a real attention getter.
Our trimming services help to eliminate grass and weeds in areas your lawn mower cannot reach, and we take extra care to avoid damage to surrounding plants and shrubbery. Our edging services help define walkways and flower beds to give your landscape that professional touch.
Aside from being aesthetically pleasing to the eye, mulch offers many benefits to your plants and soil. Mulch helps to reduce the amount of water lost to evaporation by protecting your soil from the sun's harsh rays.
As mulch breaks down, it also replenishes your soil with rich nutrients and increases its ability to retain moisture. At Locust Ridge Landscape, we offer a variety of mulches to choose from including brown mulch, black mulch, red mulch, premium tanbark mulch, and playground cover mulch.
An important part of maintaining your landscape is through proper and professional tree and shrub pruning. Pruning can transform and shape the growth of trees and shrubs, and Locust Ridge Landscape takes pride in what many consider to be an art form.
Have you always wanted a beautiful flower bed or trees and shrubs to complement your landscape? We also offer professional planting services!
All great landscapes begin with a well thought out and executed hardscape at its core. At Locust Ridge Landscape, we offer a variety of hardscape services including patio design, stonework, path and walkways, retaining walls, and much more!
Our organic lawn treatment services will help keep your lawn green and healthy while having no negative impact on the environment. We offer a variety of organic lawn treatment solutions including power seeding, lawn aeration, soil enrichment, and the use of organic fertilizer.
Organic lawn treatment is most effective with the proper application of both weeding and fertilizing along with the correct timing and care of lawn services appropriate for your type of lawn. You can count on our experience to make your lawn treatment a success!
We design and build beautiful outdoor living spaces that combine the comforts of home and freedom of the outdoors. From stunning patios and stonework to stylish pergolas, Locust Ridge Landscape can craft the perfect outdoor living environment for your home.

Customer Reviews
Vernon and his crew always do a great job. When I call Vernon, he gives me a projected time to do the job, and then updates me. All of his crew are very friendly and professional.
After 19 years, Bob and I needed some new landscaping. Seeing Locust Ridge's work and friend's input, there was no doubt this was our best choice. We met with Vernon and Bethany to discuss our project. We were very pleased with Bethany's suggestions and selection of shrubs, etc.
Their workmanship was excellent and their staff, friendly and accommodating. We had Vernon trim all our trees and he will even be power washing our driveway.
It is without any reservation that we recommend Locust Ridge to anyone who requires landscaping work.
After our initial landscaper had to pull out we asked Vernon to look at the plans and take it over with a “few” changes. Vernon was agreeable and took the steps to complete our front landscaping in phases that worked well for both our schedules. Vernon and his crew are easy to work with , he provides options, the crew show up ready to work a full day! We are very pleased with all the work performed. Bethany is also a joy to work with. She helped to physically layout our planting scheme and made terrific suggestions which made it look more professional and pleasing to the eye. We highly recommend Locust Ridge.
Our recent home inspection before settlement at Penn National recommended shrubbery removal and trimming.
Locust Ridge Landscape arrived exactly on the agreed date and time for the estimate, walked the property with my wife and I while taking notes on his cell phone. Locust Ridge Landscape gave us an immediate cost estimate and when the work could be done with a wiggle room time frame due to weather. Vernon texted us during the three week wait on the status of their arrival date.
Locust Ridge Landscape showed as promised with two large trucks that were eventually filled with branches and excavated shrubs that had pulled along mid-sized trailers of machinery. All the work was completed in one afternoon. The clean up was fine tuned on ours and the adjacent properties.
The miracle for me was how they trimmed a Japanese maple. I could now see Saint Annes Drive, our frontage from inside our window. Wow... What a view through these sculpted and aesthetically pleasing branches. I enjoy this new found scenery daily.
Yes, every week Locust Ridge shows to trim our grass while we are doing or having done planned interior improvements.
The monthly billing and other noticed business practices are professional. Without any hesitation, it is a pleasure to recommend this firm.
We had mulch removed from several flower and tree beds. Vernon replaced the mulch with stones. The beds were dug out, landscaping material was laid and stones were placed. The result looks wonderful and the stones have cut down on the voles. Vernon is easy to work with, calls you back when you leave a message and shows up on time ready to work. We will definitely use Locust Ridge for any landscaping needs in the future.

Each weekend in spring, summer and fall, millions of homeowners fire up their mowers and cut the grass in their yards. A few hours spent mowing the lawn can be a great time to get some sun and some exercise in the great outdoors.
Lush lawns are not achieved without a lot of hard work. That hard work often involves some trial and error, and one of the simplest errors a person can make is over fertilizing a lawn. Over fertilization is an easy mistake to make, but it’s a mistake that can have long-lasting…
Flat, even landscapes are often coveted in backyards. However, flat backyards are not always so easy to find. Fortunately, varied terrain does not mean that certain landscaping plans are entirely off limits, especially for homeowners willing to build retaining walls.
