Our Story
Plantique is a family-owned landscaping company based in Allentown, PA, serving the Lehigh Valley since 1948. Founded by Cornell graduate Ted Fritzinger, the business has grown from a small design/build firm into a full-service landscape operation with over 80 full-time employees, now run by three generations of the Fritzinger family. Our services range from landscape design and maintenance to shrub care, including planting, pruning, transplanting, and disease and insect management. We also specialize in custom fences and gates, patios, retaining walls, outdoor lighting, and estate management. Despite our growth, we remain focused on delivering quality work and personal customer service. We serve neighborhoods across Allentown, from the West End to South Allentown and areas near Cedar Beach Park and the Lehigh Parkway. For local homeowners facing fencing issues—such as damaged gates, overgrown shrubs encroaching on fence lines, or the need for new property boundaries—Plantique provides tailored solutions. We assess the site conditions, recommend durable materials suited to the local climate, and handle everything from shrub removal to custom gate installation, ensuring the fence complements the landscape and functions reliably.
Common Questions
How does Plantique handle shrub disease and insect management for landscapes in Allentown?
We assess each shrub for common local issues like fungal diseases and pests such as aphids or scale. Our treatment plans use targeted applications that are effective yet mindful of beneficial insects. We also recommend proper pruning and watering practices to keep shrubs resilient. For severe infestations or diseased shrubs near fences or structures, we offer removal and replacement with more resistant varieties suited to Lehigh Valley conditions.
I have shrubs growing into my fence and damaging the posts. Can Plantique help with removal and fence repair?
Yes. Overgrown shrubs can warp fence panels and push posts out of alignment. Our team can remove the problematic shrubs, clear the roots, and then either repair the existing fence or install a new fence or gate that fits your property lines. We coordinate the shrub work and fence installation so the job is seamless, and we choose shrubs for replanting that won't cause future issues near the fence line.
What's the best time of year to transplant shrubs in Allentown?
Early spring or fall, when temperatures are cooler and the plant is dormant, is ideal for transplanting. In Allentown, that typically means April or October. We prepare the new planting hole before digging, ensure minimal root disturbance, and water thoroughly after transplanting. We also monitor the shrub through the following season to help it establish in its new location.
