Artisan Landscaping for New Hope's Unique Properties
New Hope is unlike anywhere else in Bucks County — an artistic, eclectic community along the Delaware River where creativity and craftsmanship are woven into the fabric of daily life. Northampton Nursery has been serving New Hope homeowners since 1980, designing outdoor spaces that reflect the borough's distinctive personality while meeting the practical demands of riverside and hillside properties.
Properties in New Hope often come with unique topographical challenges — steep grades, rocky terrain, mature tree canopies, and proximity to waterways. Our team has decades of experience engineering retaining walls, managing stormwater drainage, and creating garden spaces that work with the natural contours of the land rather than fighting them.
From boutique-style courtyard gardens in the heart of the borough to expansive estate landscaping in Solebury Township, Northampton Nursery brings the same meticulous attention to detail. Our authorized EP Henry and Techo-Pro contractor status means New Hope homeowners get premium materials backed by industry-leading warranties.
In New Hope's historic district, changes or additions to fences, exterior lighting and architectural landscaping features need a certificate of appropriateness before zoning or building permits are issued. The Historic Architectural Review Board reviews the plans and Borough Council decides. Near the river, plan for water too: the Delaware crested well above flood stage at New Hope in September 2004, April 2005 and June 2006, so low-lying gardens and patios should be designed with that in mind.
