From first idea to forever beautiful
Whether you need one service or the full journey, Colonial Classics has you covered. Pick where you need help, or let one team handle it all.
Planning something big?
When your project spans multiple services (design, construction, planting, lighting, irrigation, maintenance), having one team coordinate everything isn't just convenient. It's the difference between a collection of parts and a cohesive vision.
Walk through your design in 3D.
Every Colonial Classics project starts as a detailed 3D rendering. Explore your outdoor space from every angle, refine the details, and approve the design before we break ground.
See it before it's built
Walk through a photorealistic 3D model of your project. Every stone, plant, and light, exactly where it'll go.
Approve with confidence
Make changes on screen, not in your yard. Adjust layouts, swap materials, and refine details before any work begins.
Precision from day one
Our build crews work directly from the approved rendering. Every measurement, material, and placement is locked in before construction starts.
Walk through acres of possibility
The Tri-State's largest, most diverse garden center isn't in a big box store. It's here, surrounded by greenhouses and growing fields, staffed by people who know every plant by name. 65+ years of growing expertise, a seasonal inventory that surprises even regulars, and expert guidance on every visit.
- Acres of trees, shrubs, perennials, and annuals
- Full greenhouse with tropicals and houseplants
- Pottery, fountains, and garden décor
- Outdoor furniture and living collections
- Mulch, stone, soil, and sod in bulk or bagged

Real stories from real projects
“Colonial has done nothing but exceeded my expectations for our home's landscaping, and their customer service is top notch! Ciara has been incredible to work with, and we're so happy that we trusted her during the entire design process. Her maintenance team is also wonderful. Thank you, Colonial!!”
Rooted in Newburgh since 1958
What started in a two-car garage on Green River Road has grown into the Tri-State's most complete outdoor living partner. Over 65 years, Colonial Classics expanded from a small landscape operation into a full-service design-build firm, garden center, nursery, pool dealer, and maintenance company.
In 2024, Andrew and Jesse Diekhoff took the reins: honor the legacy, expand the capabilities, and deepen the community roots that have made Colonial a local institution.
