MasterPlan Outdoor Living
Allentown Outdoor Living Design & Build
Custom Landscape Design and Construction in Allentown, PA
MasterPLAN serves homeowners across Allentown and the greater Lehigh Valley, designing and building custom outdoor living spaces that reflect the character of each property and the vision of each homeowner. From custom patio installations and composite deck builds to outdoor kitchen design and pool construction, our work across Allentown covers the full scope of what your Lehigh County property transformation can be.
Great outdoor spaces don’t happen by accident. They’re the result of careful listening, thoughtful planning, and a design team with real regional knowledge behind every decision. Whether you’re envisioning a four-season backyard retreat for entertaining, a front entrance that finally makes the impression your home deserves, or a landscape that solves a persistent grading or drainage problem, we’re here to help you plan it before a single shovel hits the ground.
Every Allentown neighborhood comes with its own site conditions, setback requirements, and zoning considerations. With Allentown’s updated Zoning Ordinance now in effect, understanding local code before breaking ground isn’t optional, it’s essential. As part of the MasterPLAN Advantage, we help homeowners navigate all of it so you can move forward with confidence.

Schedule a Discovery CallFrequently Asked Questions
What types of outdoor living projects does MasterPLAN handle in Allentown?
When is the best time to start an outdoor project in Allentown?
Fall and winter are the best times to start planning. Allentown’s updated Zoning Ordinance has added new pre-construction steps, meaning lead time matters more than it used to. Families who start in October or November are typically building by spring and enjoying their spaces in the summer.
How long does a typical outdoor living project take to complete in Allentown?
Most outdoor living projects in the Allentown area run between six and twelve weeks from first breaking ground to final walkthrough, depending on scope. A smaller patio or fire feature installation can be constructed quicker than a full backyard transformation with a pool and outdoor kitchen.
What outdoor living projects are most popular for Allentown homes?
The most common projects in Allentown are patio and deck combinations where families want a functional entertaining space connected to the home. Adding on to these, outdoor structures and pavilions are also very popular. What drives most of it is the same thing: families who have been putting off the backyard and are finally ready to do it right.
Are composite decks a good option for low-maintenance backyards?
For Allentown homeowners, yes. Composite decking performs well through Pennsylvania’s seasonal swings without the annual maintenance wood requires. No staining, no sealing, no warping from moisture. The upfront investment is higher than pressure-treated wood but the long-term durability of a composite deck holds up season after season.
