What Our Clients Say
We have loved every second of working with Terren! They are incredibly responsive and easy to work with, and really take the time to listen to your ideas, and then turn them into something even better than you could imagine! We have had the pleasure of working with Cara, who has made our landscape design project so much fun!
I have been a client of Terren for almost 20 years now and have nothing but good things to say! John and his entire team do an amazing job. Everything they have done from landscape design to maintenance to hardscaping has been top notch. I know when I ask them to do something it will be done right the first time. You can't go wrong with Terren!!
When I was choosing a team to design and install my vision, I chose Terren as I felt genuinely cared for and listened to. The results were simply incredible. John, Gary, and Tom are simply the best to work with.
I bought a 1970s home with no landscaping and in need of a drainage project. I researched high and low, and Terren Landscapes was the best company I found. Personable, fun, listened to me, and helped me design an outdoors that I love to be in. Cara was my designer and I continue to work with her to improve my landscape. I highly recommend Terren!
We hired Terren to help make our landscape a little nicer. Honestly, we had no idea what we really wanted but their design team came out, listened to our thoughts and put together a design/build proposal that transformed our landscape from an unwalkable, unusable hillside into a small, private park with walking paths, lush shrubbery and flowering plants, water features, and cozy seating areas. They handled the entire process from planning, permitting, and inspections with patience, aplomb, a true professionalism.
One of the few contractors in the area that consistently delivers quality grade A projects. Every employee is a professional and an absolute pleasure to work with!!
We all agreed on July 4th + boy, did you deliver. Thank you Terren Landscapes and Armond Pools. Everything has surpassed our wildest dreams * you were a pleasure to work with these past few months.
We've dealt with many contractors, builders and landscapers over the years and none compare to Terren's professionalism, quality and commitment to ensuring their work far exceeds expectations. Every single person we met from Terren is respectful, hard working and neat. We are so proud of their work and highly recommend Terren.
We have lived in our house for sixteen years. During that time we have had a total of three different landscape services. Two years ago we engaged with Terren Landscapes. It had been one if the best decisions we have ever made. They redid most of the yard and it looks awesome. It is nice plush and luscious. They are always extremely professional. They have always done the work on time and within the budget. I have highly recommended them to many friends.

Frequently Wondered Questions
Before low voltage lighting, 120v lighting was the standard and required a licensed electrician due to its high voltage, the same as your home’s refrigerator, making it particularly dangerous. In the 1950s, Bill Locklin innovatively applied low voltage car headlight technology to outdoor lighting, making it much safer and eliminating the need for licensed electricians.
With low voltage lighting, homeowners can now safely repair their own lighting or hire a certified professional without needing an electrician. This innovation significantly reduces the risk of 120v electrocution.
Low voltage lighting is safer, more cost-efficient, and easier to install and repair.
Yes! Maybe. Maybe not. It’s entirely dependant on if you value outdoor lightings benefits of safety, aesthetics, and highlighting your landscape investment at night.
If you’ve chosen a beautiful blossoming specimen tree, landscape lighting can enhance its nighttime beauty and color. Why have a landscape you can only enjoy during the day?
A beautifully illuminated deck or pathway often becomes more popular in the evening than during the day. For those who take pride in their home and love being outdoors, landscape lighting is a wise investment.
Our reputation stands on our unwavering commitment to quality, be it in the materials we choose, the designs we conceptualize, or the maintenance services we offer.
When we install your lighting, we’ve guided you to a selection of products that we stand behind, and install them with longevity in mind. We solder and shrink wrap connections, use marine-grade wire, and high quality transformers. Even the post your transformer sits on has been outfitted with a copper cap to avoid rotting, and look great.
A less than great installation will see the use of wire nuts (regardless of being waterproof), cheap landscape wire that will corrode, wire laid at the edge of your beds rather than buried, and undersized transformers.
Smart capabilities are optional. We can install a standard system that is connected to a light switch, a timer, a photocell, or a Lutron enabled smart switch.
If installing a colorscape system, internet will be needed to control the scenes and colors.
It’s the most asked question about any home improvement project. And the answer is always: it depends.
We do not install any lighting systems under $5,000. The cost of our high-end products, extra attention to detail, and 40 years of experience makes us the best option on the Main Line, but never the cheapest option.
When our Clients reach out to us for a project, they can expect an exceptional experience and a quality relationship they can trust for many more years ahead.
