Bring Your Vision to Life with Landscape Design! – Our Contractors Can Help
At Missing Link Landscaping, we specialize in transforming ordinary yards into outdoor spaces that feel like an extension of your home. Whether you want a low-maintenance retreat, a space to entertain, or a complete backyard overhaul, we’ll help you design and build a layout that fits your lifestyle—and your land.
Landscaping is more than just planting a few shrubs and calling it a day. When designed thoughtfully, your backyard can become your favorite “room” in the house.
Professional backyard landscaping can:
- Create useable areas for relaxing, dining, and playing
- Add privacy and reduce noise
- Manage stormwater and improve drainage
- Increase curb appeal and property value
- Improve overall flow and access across your property
And in Western Pennsylvania—where hills, clay-heavy soil, and unpredictable rainstorms are the norm—it pays to have a team who understands how to build for both form and function.
As a trusted local landscaping company in Plum, Pittsburgh and the surrounding area, we understand the local terrain, the weather, and the little details that make a big difference. From functional drainage solutions to beautiful hardscape features and vibrant planting beds, we bring structure, beauty, and purpose to your outdoor space.

Landscaping Services We Offer in The Plum Area
Every yard is different. That’s why we approach every project with fresh eyes and a design that’s tailored to your space. Here’s what we can do to transform your backyard into something special:
Custom Patios
We design patios that match your space and style, using pavers, flagstone, or concrete to build surfaces that last. Whether it’s for morning coffee or weekend cookouts, we’ll give you a solid foundation to enjoy year-round.
Walkways and Paths
Safe, stylish walkways do more than get you from point A to point B—they add structure and intention to your outdoor space.
Retaining Walls
If your yard slopes or feels unusable, a retaining wall can reclaim that space and give your backyard better shape, drainage, and appeal.
Drainage & Grading Solutions
We take care of the messy stuff—grading, French drains, and other water management tools that keep your lawn dry and your foundation protected.
Planting Beds & Mulching
From trees and shrubs to perennials and decorative grasses, we’ll select plants that thrive in your yard’s conditions—and make them look great with clean mulch borders and weed control strategies.
Sod & Lawn Installation and Lawn Care
Need a lawn makeover? We install new grass (seed or sod) that’s healthy, even, and ready to grow.
Backyard Lighting
Evenings are better with good lighting. We install path lights, accent lights, and soft glows around patios and gardens to make your yard safer and more inviting.
Firepits & Outdoor Living Additions
We can build a firepit, seating area, or even an outdoor kitchen that helps you get the most out of your backyard all year long.
