How long have you been in business?
Jim and John McCaughey started Terren in 1983 as a couple of brothers mowing their neighbors' lawns. The company has been transforming outdoor spaces for over 40 years since then and continues to grow each year.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Terren works on many of the historic and new estates on the Main Line, and the company is fully licensed and insured so that safety and professionalism are covered on every project.
Do you work on commercial properties as well as homes?
Yes. Terren provides landscaping services for both residential and commercial properties, with experience designing, installing and maintaining landscapes for single-family homes, apartment complexes, office buildings and more.
Can you help with drainage and stormwater problems?
Yes. Stormwater management and drainage are a specialty, and projects are built so water is drained safely and functionally away from the home rather than simply hidden. Terren treats drainage work seriously because water damage can be catastrophic and dangerous.
Do you offer maintenance after an installation?
Yes. Terren offers a comprehensive landscape maintenance service to keep outdoor spaces looking their best year round, and recommends signing on for the full maintenance plan rather than maintaining only the newly installed area.
Do you offer low noise or low emission maintenance?
Yes. Fully-electric Eco-crews do their work without any gas-powered equipment, which greatly reduces noise and eliminates emissions. A robotic mower program also provides low noise, zero emission mowing.
Do you do snow plowing?
Terren offers snow plowing and salting services, but only to full-service maintenance customers.
