Plant Installation

Beautiful Landscapes Designed to Thrive

Add Life, Color, and Function to Your Outdoor Space

A yard without thoughtfully chosen plantings can feel bare, bland, or disconnected from its surroundings. Whether you’re building a brand-new landscape or refreshing an outdated one, the right combination of trees, shrubs, and perennials brings texture, structure, and year-round beauty to your property.

​

At Kensek Landscape Specialists LLC, we design and install custom plantings that complement your home, match your style, and thrive in Western Pennsylvania’s climate. From large specimen trees to seasonal flower beds, we tailor every project to the natural conditions of your property—ensuring a landscape that looks good not just today, but for years to come.

Why Professional Plant Installation Matters

DIY planting might seem straightforward, but without a proper plan, it’s easy to run into issues. That’s why every planting project we take on is guided by more than just experience—it's backed by education.

​

Our founder holds a degree in horticulture and landscape design, which means you get a team that understands plant behavior, soil science, growth cycles, and how to plan for beauty that matures gracefully over time. We choose plants for the right place, ensure they’re installed properly, and help you care for them so your investment lasts.

Our Plant Installation Services

We offer full-service plant installation for residential and commercial properties. Whether you're starting with a blank slate or enhancing existing features, we provide:

Landscape Design and Layout

Before a shovel hits the ground, we develop a detailed layout that reflects your property’s layout, light conditions, drainage, and personal preferences. If you're also installing a patio or retaining wall, we create a complete landscape plan that ties everything together.

Tree Planting

We install ornamental, shade, and evergreen trees of all sizes. Trees offer privacy, reduce heat, and add vertical interest to your yard. We carefully plan for future growth to ensure trees are placed safely away from foundations, walkways, and utilities.

Common tree installations include:

  • Maple, oak, birch, and beech trees

  • Flowering crabapple, cherry, and dogwood

  • Privacy-focused evergreens like arborvitae, spruce, and pine

Shrub Installation

Shrubs form the structure of your landscape. Whether you need foundation plantings, hedges, or low-maintenance accents, we choose shrubs that match your desired level of upkeep and seasonal interest.

Popular choices include:

  • Boxwood, yew, and holly

  • Hydrangea, viburnum, and spirea

  • Azaleas and rhododendrons

Perennials and Seasonal Color

Perennials offer lasting beauty while seasonal annuals bring rotating color and texture. We build beds that evolve with the seasons and minimize replanting.

Options may include:

  • Daylilies, black-eyed Susans, coneflowers

  • Hostas and ferns for shade

  • Tulips and daffodils for spring impact

  • Mums and ornamental grasses for fall appeal

Native and Low-Maintenance Plantings

Looking for something sustainable and easier to care for?

We specialize in native plantings that require less watering and fertilizer while supporting pollinators and local wildlife.

How it Works ?
Consultation & Site Assessment

We start by walking your property with you. We assess sun exposure, drainage, soil type, slope, and surrounding structures. We also talk through your preferences—what you like, what you want to avoid, and how much maintenance you're comfortable with.

Step 1

Custom Planting Design

Next, we create a plant layout tailored to your space. This includes suggested plant types, quantities, sizes at maturity, and seasonal interest. For larger projects, we provide a 3D rendering so you can visualize your new landscape before installation.

Step 2

Sourcing & Preparation

We hand-select your plants from local nurseries to ensure health, vigor, and long-term success. Before installation, we prepare the planting beds by amending soil, installing proper edging, and shaping contours for ideal drainage.

Step 3

Expert Installation

Our team installs your plantings with attention to spacing, root health, and proper planting depth. We finish with mulch to retain moisture and give your beds a clean, finished appearance.

Step 4

Final Walkthrough & Care Recommendations

We provide detailed care instructions and walk you through maintenance tips so your plants stay healthy and continue to grow beautifully over time.

Step 5

Integrated Landscape Design

Many of our clients combine plant installation with other landscape services. We frequently integrate:

​

  • Paver walkways and patios

  • Retaining and seating walls

  • Pergolas and outdoor structures

  • Outdoor lighting for plant bed accents

  • Water features and drainage solutions
     

A well-balanced landscape ties together softscaping (plants) and hardscaping (built elements) for a seamless outdoor experience.
