History
We’re old neighbors!
Plantique, Inc., first began landscaping in Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley region in 1948, after Ted Fritzinger completed his education at Cornell University. What started out as a small family business has grown into one of the largest and most successful full service landscape firms in the region.
All your landscaping needs under one roof. Today we have a staff of 80 full-time employees, including landscape designers & registered landscape architects, who are our creative force. We offer both commercial and residential landscaping and maintenance. We have experts in horticulture, hardscaping, landscape construction, lighting, excavation, perennials, arbor care, spraying, landscape maintenance, mowing & lawn care service. Whether your landscaping plans are large or modest, Plantique is ready to meet your every need. We always use the finest landscape materials, backed up with excellent guarantees.
