Building Landscaping in Kennett Square: What the Site Demands
Plantings have to thrive in heavy clay and our Zone 6b/7a swings — and in the rural areas, survive heavy deer pressure.
In Kennett Square: Well-structured loam in the borough giving way to clay on the surrounding estate lots; mushroom-country ground that holds moisture and rewards a deeper compacted base.
We amend and grade the clay for drainage, choose hardy regional and native species suited to the exposure, and tie planting beds into the hardscape's drainage so nothing drowns or washes.
Permitting: Kennett Square Borough / Kennett Township permitting, with historic-district sensitivity on the older in-town streets.
Landscaping considerations for Kennett Square lots
- Clay amendment and grading so beds drain instead of holding water
- Zone 6b/7a-hardy and native species matched to sun and soil
- Deer-resistant selections on the rural and wooded lots
