Create Outdoor Landscaping Paradises

Experienced Professionals At Main Line Gardens Can Assist

For all garden center and outdoor accent needs, many people enjoy the convenience and peace of mind from getting options, assistance and long-term relationships at a one-stop, trusted business. Located at 376 Paoli Pike in Malvern, Main Line Gardens specialists indicate they cater to that same goal.

As a family-owned, full-service garden center and nursery for professional landscaping and hardscaping established in 1981, the Main Line Gardens team vows to provide the highest standard of quality service they can, no matter the size of the project or job. Their on-site nursery contains a full selection of plants, trees, shrubs, mulch and stones.

Founding partner and co-owner Jody Camp, along with his brother and co-owner/vice president, Kevin Camp, assure they've put high-quality products and exceptional customer service at the forefront of the company since they've owned it for the past dozen years. 

In 2014, Kevin and Jody even expanded the company's service offerings and added another level of expertise by obtaining Waterloo Gardens, an iconic landmark that provided landscaping and hardscaping services as well as a nursery. With sprawling gardens full of beautiful flowers and plants as well as an on-site store with outdoor furniture, home décor, and garden accents, the Main Line Gardens' team maintained the Waterloo Gardens brand to preserve its history and is still honoring its devoted customers.

"No matter what kind of atmosphere you desire, our landscaping professionals will develop the ideal environment to complement your home," says Kevin. "We manage every aspect of projects to ensure we take care of each detail for optimal functionality and an all-around cohesive feel."

Through Main Line's hardscaping services, customers can secure patios, walkways, retaining walls, driveways and other additions to their backyards -- topped off by custom potting. Custom potting designs also are tailored to each outdoor living area for a complete look and feel, including the sizes of and styles of pots. Kevin says the team believes landscapes are truly complete with several potted plants to bring fresh color and fragrance to each customer's retreat. This hardscape team uses a variety of materials, such as pavers, brick and natural stone materials to construct surface areas for multiple purposes.

In addition to pottery, Main Line offers beautiful bird baths and garden statues to add a classic touch of regality and sophistication to outdoor areas. Some customers choose certain staturaries to become the focal points of their gardens. 

"Our mission is to provide both function and beauty to our customers' outdoor living spaces," says Jody. 

Adding to the services, Main Line also offers insect repellents, in liquid or granular forms. They also sell covered repelling stations, which are designed to act as a barrier between plants and predators while also allowing them to get the sunlight, water, and nourishment necessary to thrive.

Mulch in bulk quantities, or bagged soil, can be secured from this garden center, too. 

The Main Line gift shop offers a large selection of unique home decor and garden accents, home decor, garden accents, pottery, wind chimes, birding items, and an ever-fresh inventory of seasonal gifts. Kevin says they recently renovated the gift shop.

  • Use container plants.
