A Plus Landscaping, a design-build firm based near Lancaster, Pennsylvania, has announced a partnership with HFS Financial to offer financing covering up to 120% of project costs for backyard transformations, including pools, hardscapes, and outdoor kitchens. The financing, available with flexible 20-year terms, aims to simplify the financial burden for homeowners across Berks, Chester, Lancaster, and Lebanon Counties while supporting a single-contractor approach to outdoor construction.
Traditional backyard projects often require homeowners to manage multiple contractors for pool installation, masonry, and landscaping, leading to misaligned grading, fragmented oversight, and costly delays. A Plus Landscaping's unified master-planning framework integrates design, financing, and construction under one roof, treating the swimming pool as a functional component within an interconnected landscape rather than an isolated feature. This approach ensures that surrounding elements like custom decks, seating areas, and outdoor kitchens connect naturally, reducing operational uncertainty and supporting long-term property value.
“A backyard pool shouldn’t feel like a separate entity dropped carelessly into a yard,” said Marcus Waldner, Founder of A Plus Landscaping. “Evaluating a project solely through standalone features ignores how layout, proper grade flow, and surrounding hardscape elements must interface. By serving as a single-contractor partner from the initial custom 3D design to the final walkthrough, we handle the entire ecosystem.” The company backs its custom paver patio installations with a 15-year warranty and designs full-turnkey pool environments to perform seamlessly as the heart of the home.
The financing option through HFS Financial allows homeowners to develop their entire backyard footprint in a single phase, avoiding the added expense of retrofitting hardscapes around an existing pool later. With up to 120% coverage, the financing can include not only construction costs but also additional features like outdoor kitchens or retaining walls, enabling a comprehensive transformation from the start.
This announcement is significant for homeowners in South Central Pennsylvania, where the region’s rolling terrain and freeze-thaw cycles require thoughtful engineering. A Plus Landscaping’s design-build model adapts layouts to local conditions, whether for modern in-ground pools or low-maintenance family environments. By consolidating project management and offering extended financing, the company reduces the coordination burden on property owners and helps ensure architectural cohesion throughout the project.
The implications extend beyond individual homeowners. The single-contractor model could set a precedent for the outdoor living industry, where fragmented subcontracting is common. By demonstrating a streamlined approach that combines design, construction, and financing, A Plus Landscaping may encourage other firms to adopt similar integrated strategies, potentially raising standards for project delivery and customer satisfaction.
