Headquartered in Newtown, PA, Realty was founded in 1985 to serve the growing need for quality, service-oriented landscape construction. Today, Realty is one of the largest privately held landscape contracting firms and offers an array of services including landscape design, maintenance, irrigation and lighting, and snow removal.
