Native Plants and Sustainable Landscaping for Pittsburgh’s Climate

Pittsburgh’s four-season climate can be demanding on landscapes, making the selection of resilient, regionally-adapted plants essential. Wichman Landscape Construction incorporates native species such as Black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta), Eastern Redbud (Cercis canadensis), serviceberry (Amelanchier), and fragrant sumac (Rhus aromatica).

These plants not only thrive in Western Pennsylvania’s conditions but also attract local pollinators and reduce maintenance. Our sustainable approach ensures your outdoor space remains healthy, vibrant, and environmentally friendly through every Pittsburgh season.

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.

– John Zitelli
