The time is close...a look out your back door window makes you smile: snow melting, grass and soil showing through, as little flower bulbs begin to peek out.

Spring is arriving!

It’ll be nice to be outside with family and friends on the patio. But wait! A long list starts forming; how are you going to make this backyard into more than just a patio?  It would be great if it was a relaxing, fun getaway, but where to start? Chris DiSabatino and the staff at DiSabatino Landscaping are more than happy to bring your vision of the perfect backyard oasis to life!

DiSabatino Landscaping has been in business for over 25 years in Delaware and Pennsylvania. The team’s core values have been their success for a long time - and it can be shortened into one acronym: “EQUIP.”

“EQUIP means Efficiency, Quality, United (united is our experience with the client, but also with our entire team), Integrity, and Passion,” Chris emphasized, mentioning that those are the five pillars of the company. “What that really means to the customer is it's an exceptional client experience all the way through that we provide.”

DiSabatino Landscaping is certainly EQUIPed to handle masonry, landscaping, hardscaping, custom pools, and so much more! Most of the staff have worked with the company for decades, and hold years of experience under their belts. Chris himself got into landscaping well over 20 years ago.

“I started as a young boy working with my Italian grandfather in his garden and I was kind of like his little helper,” said Chris with a smile. He recalled helping his grandfather cut grass as he kept his quarter-acre vegetable garden manicured. When his grandfather passed away while Chris was 10 years old, he took on the upkeep of the outside of the home for his grandmother.

“She always made me feel good,” Chris started, “saying I was a hard worker, did a good job—the whole nine—so kind of inspired me to then want to start doing it for other people.” And Chris did so, “By the time I was in high school, I was mowing like 80 yards a week, believe it or not, and once I graduated, I kind of had like a business going and I jumped all-in in January 1995. I got incorporated, started the company and quickly went from realizing that I wasn't that passionate about cutting grass.”  In 1998, he pivoted to hardscaping and outdoor living spaces.

In 2005, Chris met his business partner, Vince Esposito, a third-generation master stonemason, and started to offer wet-laid masonry: wet-laid stone and walls, flagstone, and terraces, to name a few. “We kind of evolved as a company and really started having full offerings between landscape and hardscape and masonry and then around 2015, we started getting into structures,” said Chris. Soon, they began building decks and outdoor pavilions, which then evolved into building pools. 

“Our company's turned into a place where somebody can come and have every aspect of their project taken care of,” said Chris, “from the design to the whole implementation of the design.”

The company has serviced over 12,000 clients throughout the years while constantly innovating and improving their design ideas and even the materials they procure to recreate the vision the client sees. Whether it’s a small patio space in need of some renovation or a large pool with water features that adds a sense of tranquility to a backyard, DiSabatino Landscaping does it all! “We can give them a fresh look with their outdoor living space that makes it feel like they're at a cool resort,” said Chris, “somewhere that maybe the client has gone on vacation or something like that, to make them really feel like they can relax in their own space.”
