Your landscape,

Our Canvas

Chris Stocker started Atlantic Ridge over 20 years ago with a push mower and the steadfast dream to create a luxury landscaping design-build company. You don’t think of your property as a piece of land with a structure; you value it as your home, your office or your business. That’s why the term “landscaping” is so limiting when describing the outdoor surroundings of a space you hold so dear. Why be restricted to building a landscape when we can create an experience? One that is memorable and treasured, to enjoy and share now and in the years to come…

As a landscaping design-build company and home improvement contractor in the Lehigh Valley and Western New Jersey, we consider your landscape an exciting canvas. One on which your vision, your dream, your style and good taste is artistically nurtured by our team of experts culminating in a masterpiece – a work of skillfully crafted art.

For over 20 years, licensed in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey, Atlantic Ridge Landscape Design-Build has been creating award winning outdoor experiences for our clients.

We can help enhance the curb appeal and investment of your residential or commercial property in the Lehigh Valley with landscaping designs that range from riveting luxury to aesthetic simplicity and everything in between.

We are a full-service Landscape Design-Build, Installation, and Maintenance company in Lehigh Valley, PA.

There’s a reason our family owned and operated company is so highly regarded by clients and green industry professionals alike. Actually, there are a few good reasons:

  • We build long term relationships with our clients. We don’t just spruce up your landscaping and leave. Our clients return to us for ongoing landscape maintenance, recommendations for upgrades, new projects and sometimes just for some friendly advice. Our mission is to be there for you with the support and recommendations needed to ensure your property is a point of pride in your neighborhood.
  • In addition to our team’s professional experience, Atlantic Ridge is also a member of several exceptional trade organizations and our staff receives ongoing training , development and certification programs. So you’re always getting cutting edge service!

How does a culinary arts and restaurant management degree from Northampton community college translate to Landscape Design-Build owner? The answer is SERVICE. My love for the service industry and making clients happy has always been the most important thing to me while building this company. A local of the Lehigh Valley my entire life. I live and work here to create beautiful landscapes and build amazing relationships over the years with so many clients and industry professionals. My goal has always been to surround myself with a great group of industry peers. My team is amazing and I’m very thankful for each and every team member that joins me in this journey. When I’m not working, I love spending time with my wife, 2 beautiful daughters and my 3 dogs. I still love cooking so you can find me in the kitchen cooking something up or out back on our patio grilling and having a good time! Thank you for exploring my company and I look forward to sharing some of my love of landscaping with you and your family!
