We’re Your Trusted Fox Chapel, PA Landscape Design Contractor
Your outdoor space should be more than just grass and shrubs—it should feel like an extension of your home, a place where you can relax, entertain, and enjoy the beauty of nature. Whether you’re starting fresh, revamping an old landscape, or dreaming of a complete transformation, the team at Wichman Landscape Construction is here to bring your vision to life.
Custom Landscape Design for Fox Chapel’s Distinctive Properties
Fox Chapel’s wooded hills, steep slopes, and rolling topography create both beautiful and challenging conditions for landscape and hardscape projects. Many properties require specialized grading, erosion control, and retaining walls to manage elevation changes and prevent soil movement. With borough regulations limiting disturbance on steep or landslide-prone areas, careful planning and expert design are essential for protecting both property and the surrounding environment.
In addition to complex terrain, Fox Chapel’s soil composition and drainage patterns demand thoughtful site assessment and stabilization before construction begins. Efficient drainage solutions, such as rain gardens, permeable pavers, and green infrastructure, are often necessary to manage stormwater and prevent runoff from impacting natural waterways. These considerations are especially important given the community’s commitment to preserving green space, mature trees, and native plantings.
At Wichman Landscape Construction, we have extensive experience designing and building customized outdoor spaces that honor Fox Chapel’s natural beauty while meeting its strict regulations. Whether it’s integrating stone retaining walls and steps on sloping lots, creating terraced patios, or blending new features into historic estate properties, our team delivers high-end, environmentally responsible solutions tailored to each property’s unique needs.

Fox Chapel Landscaping Codes, Permits, and Compliance
Fox Chapel has strict zoning codes that apply to many landscape and hardscape projects, especially retaining walls, fences, and property modifications. Any new retaining wall or fence requires a permit from the borough before construction begins. These permits ensure that all work complies with local requirements for safety, setbacks, and property lines. Height restrictions, particularly near intersections and roadways, are carefully enforced to maintain clear sightlines for drivers and pedestrians.
At Wichman Landscape Construction, we have extensive experience navigating Fox Chapel’s permitting process. Our team can help manage the necessary applications, prepare detailed plans, and work directly with the borough to ensure your project is fully compliant from start to finish — minimizing delays and giving you confidence that your investment meets every local requirement.
