Trex deck with pergola structure

01 / 09 Decks · Outdoor Living

Trex Deck & Pergola

Composite Trex decking paired with a pressure-treated pergola, completed in a single build sequence.

Project Notes

Deck and pergola, framed as one structure.

Trex composite gives the homeowner a deck surface that holds its color through Pennsylvania summers without resealing. The pressure-treated pergola was framed in the same build sequence, so post spacing, roof line, and stair landing read as one structure rather than two added-on projects.

Herringbone Brick Walkway

Hand-laid brick herringbone walkway anchoring a restored Victorian facade, bordered with new perennial bed plantings.

Project Notes

Brick first, plantings second — the entry is the frame.

The herringbone pattern at the front walk sets the rhythm for everything else: tighter joint lines toward the steps, broader beds along the sides, and a perennial border tuned to the home's period palette. Nothing here is improvised — each row of brick is laid against the same string line that guided the bed lines.

What Sets Us Apart

We Grow What We Plant

Most contractors buy plants from a distributor the morning of your install. We grow ours.

At our nursery on Ridge Road in New Hope, we cultivate perennials, ornamental grasses, and flowering shrubs specifically selected for Bucks County's soil and climate. Every plant is hardened outdoors through at least one full Pennsylvania season before it goes into your landscape.

The result? Stronger root systems, better first-year growth, and a landscape that establishes faster and lasts longer. It also means we can offer varieties you won't find at any garden center — plants chosen for your specific site conditions, light exposure, and design vision.

Locally Hardened Every plant acclimatized to PA weather before your install
Curated Varieties Species selected for your site's specific conditions
Stronger Roots Nursery-grown plants establish faster with less loss

How We Work

From Vision to Built

A proven process refined over 18 years and hundreds of Bucks County projects.

01

Consultation & Site Visit

We walk your property together. We listen to how you use the space, what frustrates you, what you dream about. We take measurements, note drainage, sun exposure, and existing conditions.

02

Design & Proposal

You receive a detailed design with material selections, a clear scope of work, and transparent pricing. No surprises, no hidden fees. We'll revise until it's exactly right.

03

Build

Our crews arrive on schedule, prepared, and professional. We protect your property, communicate daily progress, and build to spec. Most projects complete in 1–3 weeks.

04

Final Walkthrough

We walk the finished project together. Every detail inspected, every question answered. We're not done until you're proud to show it off.

From Our Clients

Built on Trust

★★★★★
"They transformed our backyard from a muddy slope into a terraced paradise. The retaining walls are gorgeous, and the plantings they chose from their own nursery are thriving in year two. This isn't your typical landscaping company."
The Henderson Family Solebury, PA — Patio & Retaining Walls
★★★★★
"We interviewed four companies for our outdoor kitchen project. Cultural Landscapes was the only one who talked about how we'd actually use the space — not just what materials to pick. The finished kitchen is incredible."
Mark & Jennifer Ashford Newtown, PA — Outdoor Kitchen & Patio
★★★★★
"Our multi-level deck was a complex build on a steep lot. Their crew was professional, on time every morning, and the craftsmanship is exceptional. Two years later it still looks brand new."
David Chen Doylestown, PA — Multi-Level Deck

Our Story

Rooted in Bucks County Since 2007

Cultural Landscapes started with a simple belief: outdoor spaces should be built with the same care and craft as the homes they surround. What began as a small crew and a lot of ambition has grown into one of Bucks County's most trusted hardscape and landscape design firms.

We're still a family operation. Our crews are year-round employees, not seasonal subcontractors. They take pride in their work because they see it every day — in their own neighborhoods, on their drives to the next job. That accountability is something you can't outsource.

Our farm and nursery on Ridge Road is where we grow the plants that go into your landscape. It's also where we test new varieties, experiment with combinations, and develop the horticultural knowledge that sets our designs apart.

Craft Over Speed

We'd rather take an extra day than cut a corner.

Honest Pricing

Detailed proposals. No change-order surprises.

Local Knowledge

We know this soil, this climate, these neighborhoods.

Service Area

Proudly Serving Bucks County

Based in New Hope, we serve homeowners across Bucks County and into neighboring communities.
