Hey There
My Name Is Joshua Hoelper. I am the Owner and Current operator of The Garden Guy Landscape Design Solutions LLC. While The Business has just recently been registered with the state of Pennsylvania in 2021, It has been serving Bucks county and surrounding areas since just before 2015. Scroll down to see some more of how I got to this point and the story that got it all going.
All About Me and How I Started The Business
It all started when I was in sixth grade, and we had to write what our dream job was to be. That day I had written that when I grow up, I want to be a landscaper. Though I didn't just want to be any kind of landscaper, I wanted to be a landscape designer focused on the customers dream landscape. Ever since then I increased my knowledge in landscaping, gardening, plants, and the outdoors. From studying how the plants grew, to the best growing conditions. I started to experiment with various planting techniques, making homemade remedies to fight disease and insect damage, and designing plant layouts. Constantly working in my very homes landscape, trimming the plants and shrubs, building walkways, working in my dads vegetable garden, and it kept growing on me all through high school.
In 2015 After my neighbors and friends families saw my work, they started having me do their landscapes, and landscape maintenance. From here I did what I could having limited resources and only some tools. You will see in the gallery work from my early years, and how they progressed up to the present time.
Following high school I received a scholarship to Delaware Valley University in Doylestown Pa. This is where I knew I could make my dream job become even more. While Attending Delval I studied Landscape Architecture, where I strengthened my knowledge of plants, diseases, landscape design, landscape installation, and Landscape Architecture. During my years at Delval I also interned with Nickett Landscaping, and was able to learn their techniques and to work on their teams. I was also part of the Philadelphia Flower Show in 2020/2021. After 5 years I graduated with a degree in Landscape Architecture in 2021.
The year that I graduated, I had Grown from just being around Richboro, to being throughout bucks county, Montgomery County, Philadelphia and surrounding areas. I also do travel to other farther areas where my design work is wanted.
A couple of the biggest differences in my company, is that I make designs that hold color and Aesthetic through the four seasons, aimed for low maintenance, and is done the right way the first time to last for many years to come.
