Wichman Landscape Construction, LLC created incredibly beautiful stairs, paths and retaining walls over our hillside that were beyond our greatest expectations! Jeff Wichman's team was thorough, professional, hard-working and attentive to every little detail! They were tasked with removing the existing walls and stairs and rebuilding them to the contours of the landscape. What they designed and built was amazing, sturdy, inspiring and overwhelmingly complimentary to our gardens. The team was always on time and worked steadily to accomplish the job. Cleanup was exemplary. We feel we were rewarded with more than we had anticipated. We look forward to spending many happy hours using the paths and stairs to attend to our gardens. The large sandstones will last for many years to come. We would highly recommend this business to anyone looking for a landscaping project of the highest quality!

Jeff and his team did a beautiful job building our new retaining wall. He began the job when he said he and finished it in the time frame he specified. The work was outstanding , his team was professional and they left our yard in great shape. We were thrilled.

During summer 2020, Wichman rebuilt the very badly assembled retaining wall in front of and on the side of our house. The previous owner had simply stacked a pile of rocks and called it a wall. Not only did Wichman create a beautiful retaining wall in its place, they used the existing rocks! For a week, we and our neighbors watched as the crew hand-chiseled (!!!) the existing pile into stackable bricks, carefully placing each to create a stable and attractive wall. Two and a half years later, there have been absolutely zero issues, and we are still getting compliments from neighbors. Even more amazing, Wichman Landscape was the low bidder among the quotes we received. Cannot recommend this company highly enough! (Picture on left is BEFORE; picture on right is AFTER.)

Jeff and his crew built a 4’x80’ retaining wall for us and we couldn’t be more pleased. We had an idea of what we wanted but adapted the design to better fit the landscape - thanks to Jeff’s expert input. The building material is beautiful and the construction is top notch. We’ve received nothing but compliments from neighbors! The crew kept things as clean as possible (a feat for construction in a wet December) and were always happy to answer questions when asked. The schedule was tough to maintain (weather, etc) but once things got rolling, the crew worked quickly without sacrificing quality.

Jeff and his team are probably the best in the area. We've used many others and none had the attention to detail and care for your property like Wichman.

Jeff and his team delivered exceptional work for us from start to finish. Jeff was one of the first to reply to messages I left seeking an estimate for a patio and he was also the most candid, creative and true to his word. He listened to what my wife and I were thinking and augmented it with his own ideas, never hesitating to let us know if he thought something we wanted wouldn't work while offering an alternative that was always better than what we had in mind. He was straightforward on pricing and gave us pros/cons for going more inexpensive or expensive, depending on the need. When the time came to do the work he was true to the schedule (even in questionable December weather), always showed-up when they said they'd be onsite and worked a weekend day to keep on schedule. Jeff checked in regularly and always made himself available for questions during the job (we didn't have any) and made sure to reseed our yard where the heavy machinery and work had torn it up, offering to come back in the spring to fill-in areas as needed. We're thrilled with the finished product. If you want creative, quality and reliable patio work, give Wichman Landscape a call and you'll be glad you did.

We absolutely couldn’t be happier with our new patio. We met with a lot of landscaping companies but nobody came close to the creativity and craftsmanship of Wichman Landscape Construction. From Jeff’s initial design, to the professionalism of the crew, to the final cleanup--the entire experience couldn’t have been better. We were looking for something timeless and Wichman Landscape Construction gave us so much more. They completely transformed our backyard and gave us a beautiful new outdoor space.

We live in an older neighborhood of the city and wanted to reinvigorate our outdoor living space that is hilly and mainly dominated by the sloping driveway to our 2 car external garage. Jeff had a vision that would make for a spectacular space that we could utilize all areas including the pad in front of the driveway. He carefully listened and understood that we wanted to integrate the existing cobblestone into the design. His workmen were very professional and sensitive to the existing landscapes. Done ahead of schedule and beautiful. Can't wait to use it in the spring!

We built our house in 2016 and have had experiences both wonderful and horrendous. Jeff and his crew are repairing the terrible work done by another landscaping company and they are wonderful. Jeff delivered on the the concept and design and has been open to alterations. His crew has worked like crazy for the last week. I am truly impressed and happy to give my highest recommendation to Wichman Landscaping.

Jeff and his team did a great job building a bocce court in our back yard. Very professional. Worked through unforeseen problems. It's level, drains well, looks great.

Navigating Cranberry Township’s Unique Landscape Regulations with Expertise

Cranberry Township enforces some of the region’s most specific and detailed landscape and hardscape requirements, and Wichman Landscape brings the knowledge and experience to meet them seamlessly. From wide perimeter buffers filled with native plantings to the required six-foot-wide foundation beds on new construction, we ensure every project aligns with township codes while enhancing your property’s overall appeal. Whether we’re preserving mature woodlands, installing shade trees in an allee formation, or screening utility boxes with thoughtful greenery, our team understands what it takes to create compliant, cohesive designs that still feel distinctly personal.

Our deep familiarity with the township’s form-based zoning and open space requirements ensures that our designs contribute to the walkable, well-planned character Cranberry is known for. We prioritize site-sensitive planting, drainage, and layout strategies that both respect regulations and elevate the aesthetics and function of your landscape.

With specific setback allowances, stormwater rules, and hardscape projection limits, designing patios, walls, and walkways in Cranberry Township requires more than just creativity—it requires technical precision.

We skillfully design your outdoor space so it is both beautiful and built to last. From front yard seating walls to rear-facing patios and driveways, every installation is designed with long-term durability, curb appeal, and full code compliance in mind—so you can enjoy your outdoor space with confidence.

Jeff and his company did a wonderful job on a complex construction contract. Jeff was extremely knowledgeable about every detail, and watched over the project until it was complete. His staff was timely, hard working and very neat. The job was completed down to every last tiny detail without any problems.

Questions were answered, small details taken care of without any controversy, and the result was done professionally. His work is the best I have seen and I would call him to do anything else I will need to have done in the future. I highly recommend him.
