Landscaping in Northampton Township, PA

Service Area · Bucks County

Northampton Township takes in Richboro, Holland and Churchville, and shares the same dominant characteristics across all of them: substantial lots, mature landscaping, and serious deer pressure.

The township developed largely from the 1960s through the 1990s, on lots considerably larger than anything in Lower Bucks, and the planting that went in with those houses has now had thirty to sixty years to mature. Tyler State Park sits along its edge and the Churchville Nature Center within it, which gives the township both its character and its wildlife.

Deer, as the organizing principle

Across the township, deer pressure should be the first input into any planting plan. The wooded corridors between developments, the park land at the margins and the protected ground around the nature center support a substantial and untroubled population.

Practically that means avoiding arborvitae, yew, hosta and tulips, and building instead around boxwood, Japanese pieris, inkberry, bayberry, ornamental grasses, Russian sage, catmint and hellebore. It is a good palette — this is not a consolation list — but it has to be chosen deliberately.

Thirty-year-old plantings coming due

The most common work we do across Northampton Township is renovation. Foundation plantings from the 1970s and 1980s that were sheared rather than pruned for three decades, are now hollow inside, and have grown well past the windows they were planted beneath.

Most of it can be brought back over two or three seasons of staged renovation pruning, keeping decades of established root system and costing a fraction of replacement. The exceptions are junipers, which do not regenerate from bare wood and generally cannot be reduced once hollow. We will tell you which category each plant is in.

Larger properties, larger programs

Half-acre and larger lots change the maintenance picture. Mowing is a real operation, fall leaf volume from mature canopy usually needs more than one pass, and irrigation becomes worth considering. Fall core aeration and overseeding is the single highest-value treatment for lawns of this size on this soil.

Common questions about Northampton

Which towns are in Northampton Township?

Richboro, Holland and Churchville principally, plus the surrounding township area. All of it is within our radius.

Can my overgrown plantings be saved?

Usually, with staged renovation pruning over two or three seasons — junipers being the main exception. It costs far less than replacement and keeps the established roots.

What is the single best thing for my lawn here?

Core aeration in early fall, followed by overseeding. On these lots, more than anything else you could spend the money on.
