Hockessin's Trusted Landscape Design Team

Hockessin is one of Delaware's most desirable communities, and homeowners here expect their outdoor spaces to match. DiSabatino Landscaping has designed and installed hundreds of residential landscapes across New Castle County, including many in Hockessin's upscale neighborhoods. Our licensed landscape architect, David Mull (ASLA), works directly with each client to develop site-specific designs that account for grading, drainage, sun exposure, and the natural character of the Brandywine Valley.

We are not a mow-and-blow operation. DiSabatino is a full-service design-build firm with six specialized divisions. When your project calls for stone walls, outdoor lighting, a pool, or a complete backyard renovation, our teams collaborate under one roof. That means one point of contact, one timeline, and a finished product that holds together from every angle.
