A Plus Landscaping, a design-build firm based near Lancaster, Pennsylvania, has announced a financing partnership with HFS Financial that allows homeowners to fund up to 120% of their backyard project costs with flexible 20-year terms. The move aims to simplify the process of creating cohesive outdoor living spaces by eliminating the need for multiple contractors and disjointed project management.
For homeowners in South Central Pennsylvania, coordinating separate pool companies, hardscape masons, and landscape designers often leads to misaligned grading, fragmented oversight, and costly delays. A Plus Landscaping addresses this by offering a unified master-planning approach, treating swimming pools as functional components within an interconnected landscape rather than isolated features. This ensures that surrounding hardscapes—such as custom decks, outdoor kitchens, and seating areas—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 an industry-leading 15-year warranty, while full-turnkey pool environments are designed to perform seamlessly as the functional 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 shell later. This is particularly beneficial given South Central Pennsylvania's rolling terrain and distinct seasonal conditions, as projects are engineered from the outset to withstand freeze-thaw cycles.
A Plus Landscaping serves homeowners in Lancaster, Berks, Lebanon, and Chester Counties. Founded in 2006, the family-owned company specializes in complete outdoor living transformations, including custom pools, paver patios, retaining walls, and outdoor kitchens.
