Fruit tree planting in Lititz, Manheim, Elizabethtown, and Mount Joy
In Lititz and Manheim many lots are modest in size, so we plant dwarf or semi‑dwarf apples, pears, peaches, plums, and cherries that won’t overwhelm your space. We handle soil testing and amendment, digging wide holes, and adding compost and organic matter. We stake trees, install drip lines if requested, and provide deer guards if necassary. For larger properties in Elizabethtown and Mount Joy we can design more extensive orchards or even small food forests, incorporating windbreaks, pollinator strips, and fruiting hedges. We tailor each planting to soil type, sun exposure, and your desired harvest.
Organic‑forward planting and soil preparation
Healthy soil is the foundation of a successful orchard. We build living soil by incorporating compost, aged manure, and other organic amendments into each planting hole and the surrounding beds. Our approach avoids synthetic fertilizers and focuses on encouraging beneficial microbes and earthworms. This organic‑forward method produces healthier plants and richer harvests while supporting the environment.
Formal, clean designs for front and side yards
Not everyone wants a wild food forest; sometimes a formal look is best. We specialize in manicured edible landscapes that blend seamlessly with ornamental plantings. We use semi-dwarf trees, espalier training, crisp edging, and mulched beds to create structured layouts. Espalier apples or pears against a fence, columnar fruit trees flanking a walkway, and neat berry hedges along property lines offer elegance and functionality.
Packages and homestead‑ready bundles
For those who want a ready‑made solution, our Signature Home Orchard Designs offer fixed bundles of trees and shrubs with soil prep, mulch, and deer protection included. For clients dreaming of a self‑sufficient homestead we offer larger bundles that include multiple tree species, berry patches, and a seasonal garden bed—all planned to work together as a food‑producing ecosystem. We provide transparent pricing based on the number of trees, site work, and any extras like fencing or irrigation.
