Homeowners in South Central Pennsylvania planning outdoor improvements often face challenges coordinating multiple contractors, leading to misaligned grading, fragmented oversight, and costly delays. A Plus Landscaping, a design-build firm based near Lancaster, addresses these issues by offering a comprehensive pool and outdoor living integration framework. Through this single-contractor approach, clients can design, finance, and complete custom backyard environments without the burden of managing separate teams.
The company emphasizes treating swimming pools as functional components within an interconnected landscape rather than isolated features. This ensures that surrounding hardscapes—such as custom decks, outdoor kitchens, and seating areas—connect naturally, reducing operational uncertainty and supporting long-term property value. By consolidating responsibilities under one contractor, homeowners maintain architectural cohesion and avoid details falling through the cracks.
“A backyard pool shouldn't feel like a separate entity dropped carelessly into a yard,” said Marcus Waldner, Founder of A Plus Landscaping. “Evaluating a project solely through standalone features ignores how layout, proper grade flow, and surrounding hardscape elements must interface. By serving as a single-contractor partner from the initial custom 3D design to the final walkthrough, we handle the entire ecosystem.” Waldner highlighted that while the company backs custom paver patio installations with a 15-year warranty, its full-turnkey pool environments are structured to perform seamlessly as the functional heart of the home.
A key advantage of the unified design-build model is adapting backyard layouts to South Central Pennsylvania’s rolling terrain and seasonal conditions. Projects are engineered to withstand freeze-thaw cycles, whether clients seek modern in-ground pools or low-maintenance family-oriented spaces.
To simplify upfront planning, A Plus Landscaping offers low-rate hardscape and pool financing through its partnership with HFS Financial, providing up to 120% project coverage with flexible 20-year terms. This structure allows homeowners to develop their entire backyard footprint in a single phase, avoiding the added expense of retrofitting hardscapes around an existing pool shell later.
