We offer award-winning design and cost effective solutions through our broad range of services. From comprehensive maintenance to horticulturally sound seasonal services. Established in 1982, J. Downend Landscaping, Inc. began as a small, neighborhood landscape firm in Delaware County. From our humble beginnings, we matched the ever-growing nature of the Philadelphia metropolitan area in order to meet the increased demand of our customers.
Since the start, quality through craftsmanship has been our number one priority. We had hired J Downend to take our backyard from a weed infested wilderness to a space my family would enjoy. J Downend rose to the challenge, our yard has a steep grade and was difficult to maintain because of water run off.
They built the most amazing patio and fire pit that looks like it has always been there! They listened to us and designed a space that fits our life's perfectly, from the low maintenance plants that were chosen to the hard scape stones that reflect the surrounding area.

Services
J. Downend Landscaping, Inc. is a full-service landscape design, construction, horticulture and maintenance firm who has been servicing the Delaware Valley for over 40 years. We currently employ as many as 95 employees during our months of operation, including an in house staff of talented and experienced landscape designers who serve as project managers.
Jim began his career in landscaping at a local nursery. He took great interest in landscape design and soon began doing work outside of his nursery job during his free time. As his natural talent for design grew, so did his desire to own his own business. In 1982 Jim purchased his first truck and began J. Downend Landscaping.
The safety of our employees is our number one priority. However, unlike businesses with a fixed work location, our employees are out in the field where we cannot completely remove potentially hazardous conditions. To combat this, all of our employees are trained to safely use our equipment, identify onsite hazards, take precautionary steps to minimize those hazards, and provide first-aid in the event that an injury occurs.
Dedicated to providing exceptional customer service, we focus on understanding the needs and objectives of each client. We target our full range of maintenance capabilities to meet those specific needs and execute relentlessly day in and day out to make it happen. We develop a unique program for each individual property, taking into account local and seasonal factors in the context of the client's needs and budget.
As designers, we strive to integrate your ideas and desires with our vision in order to create a design that exceeds your expectations while enhancing the beauty of your home. Our talented landscape designers will be involved from a project's design through construction to ensure that our high standards are met and no detail is missed.

The old saying that you get what you pay for is definitely true with Downend Landscaping. Their price is very reasonable given the level of service that you receive. You could shop around for a cheaper landscaper, but in the end I am certain you will regret it.
We had a complex water drainage problem in our back yard and Jim Downend came out himself to design an innovative solution that has completely solved the issue. They planted over 100 plants and trees for us and non of them have ever died.
In addition to using them for my home in Garnet Valley, I used them at my beach house in Long Beach

Dave Tuberville and crews were a pleasure to work with. Our project included a walkway, lighting, front porch, back patio, stone firepit and plantings all around our property. Dave’s expertise and meticulous attention to detail throughout the entire process produced exceptional results. Everyone is amazed at the beautiful transformation of our property. We couldn’t be happier and we highly recommend Downend!

I have had the pleasure of working with J. Downend Landscaping as part of an HOA over the last few years. I have always found Jim Downend to be professional and responsive; always taking a personal interest in… all of the work. J. Downend also installed a small grill pad for me and it came out beautifully. I would highly recommend J. Downend Landscaping!

My wife, Amanda, and I were referred by our builder, Ross Hellings of Hellings Builders Inc., to J. Downend Landscaping and we are grateful for the referral. Dave Turberville, was our design and project manager. Dave was great, he knew we were moving from California to PA and that coordinating such a project would take extra time and effort on his… part. He did not let us down. He was engaging and responsive to our desires for a certain design and the look that we wanted for our new home. The design he presented was second to none and included many garden and shrub beds, 30,000 square feet
