Lewes, Delaware – Borsello Landscaping, Delaware and Pennsylvania’s premier full-service design-build landscaping firm, proudly announces the grand opening of its new Lewes location. This expansion represents a significant milestone in the company’s 30+ year legacy of craftsmanship, innovation, and personalized service.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony, hosted by the Lewes Chamber of Commerce, will take place on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, at 10:30 a.m. at 48 Cape Henlopen Drive, Lewes, DE 19958. The event will feature Betsy Reamer, Executive Director of the Lewes Chamber, and media coverage by the Coastal Camera Club. Founder and owner Mike Borsello will be joined by the Borsello team, along with Emma Larson and Charles Ciarfardo from Soake Pools and Cary Pitman from Rehoboth Pools, a subsidiary of Clark’s Pools in Northern Delaware, to commemorate the occasion.

“We’re thrilled to officially open our Lewes location, a place that holds deep personal meaning for my family,” said Mike Borsello. “Our roots in the Delaware beaches run deep, and this expansion allows us to serve a community that’s been part of our story for generations.”

Borsello Landscaping was built on excellence and a mission to cultivate a team of highly skilled craftspeople and artists who blend the beauty of nature with the comfort of home. With over three decades of award-winning service, the firm is recognized for its in-house landscape architects and design team, full-time installers, and in-house material procurement process, delivering a seamless experience from concept to execution.

This 5,001-square-foot location further strengthens the company’s presence in the coastal region, reflecting its continued commitment to raising the standard for landscaping in the Mid-Atlantic. Their full range of services includes custom patios and walkways, outdoor kitchens, decks and pergolas, fireplaces and firepits, Soake plunge pools and custom pools, privacy plantings, and exterior lighting.

Future plans include the development of an outdoor showroom featuring a Soake plunge pool, allowing clients to experience firsthand the elevated design and build quality for which Borsello is known.

The company’s connection to the Delaware beaches is deeply personal. Mike and his wife, Gwynne, spent 15 years raising their children in South Bethany, and Gwynne’s family has been part of the Dewey and Rehoboth Beach communities for three generations. Today, their daughter continues the legacy, working as a lifeguard at the Lewes Yacht Club.

Borsello Landscaping’s purpose is simple yet powerful: to deliver the best client experience through clear communication, unique innovation, and the highest quality craftsmanship in the industry.

A special thanks to Kelsey Hamilton, owner of Boardwalk Builders; Katie Green, Realtor with The Carrie Lingo Team; and Meg Shupe of MS+Co. Marketing. Their warm welcome and continued support have played a key role in the success of this venture, and we are grateful for their partnership.

Hockessin, DE – Borsello Landscaping, a premier landscaping and outdoor design company serving Delaware and Pennsylvania, celebrates 30 years of transforming outdoor spaces. Founded in January 1995 by visionary owner Mike Borsello, the company has grown from humble beginnings into one of the most trusted names in luxury outdoor living, delivering award-winning craftsmanship and an unwavering commitment to excellence. 

Thirty years ago, 17-year-old Mike Borsello began his journey with a brand-new Chevy S10 pickup he purchased from Diver Chevrolet and a Craftsman lawnmower his grandmother helped him buy with a $200 loan. After paying her back, she lent him $75 for a weed whacker, setting him up for his first small business venture. Handing out flyers in Wilmington neighborhoods, Mike took on small jobs and quickly built a reputation for quality and dedication. Through hard work and vision, he transformed those humble beginnings into a thriving business that now offers custom-designed landscapes, elegant hardscapes, sophisticated lighting, custom carpentry, and serene water features—crafted to reflect the unique lifestyles and aspirations of discerning clients. 

With offices in Hockessin and Lewes, Delaware, Borsello Landscaping proudly features an in-house team of skilled designers, carpenters, stonemasons, and project managers. These individuals are dedicated to delivering exceptional craftsmanship and unparalleled customer service. While the company manages nearly every aspect of its projects internally, specialized electrical and gas work is entrusted to carefully selected licensed and insured partners, who ensure the highest safety and quality standards are upheld. 

Over the past three decades, Borsello Landscaping has earned numerous accolades, including being named Best Landscaper by Delaware Today for 10 consecutive years. Additional honors include the BBB Torch Award for Marketplace Ethics, the Best of Houzz Service Award, the Best of Angi, and multiple Readers’ Choice Awards from What’s Happening Delaware, West Chester Living, and City Lifestyle. Most recently, the company was named a Nextdoor Neighborhood Favorite, further solidifying its reputation for delivering exceptional results. 

Borsello Landscaping’s work has also been recognized in numerous publications. The company and its founder, Mike Borsello, have been featured in The News Journal, Delaware Today, House & Home Magazine, City Lifestyle, West Chester Lifestyle, Happening Magazine, and Out & About. These features showcase their innovative designs and commitment to excellence in the landscaping industry.

“At Borsello Landscaping, we bring the art and science of landscaping together to create high-impact, visually stunning outdoor spaces,” says founder Mike Borsello. “What started as a passion for outdoor design has grown into a business rooted in strong client relationships, quality craftsmanship, and tailored solutions that elevate their homes.”

Borsello Landscaping offers a comprehensive suite of outdoor living services backed by industry-leading guarantees, including a 10-year workmanship warranty on hardscaping and a one-year guarantee on carpentry and lighting projects. 

In addition to transforming outdoor spaces, Borsello Landscaping is deeply committed to the community. Mike serves on the Building & Grounds Committee at Trinity Community Church and has previously supported the Sanford School Grounds Committee and the advisory board for Good Neighbors. The company also holds an A+ Rating with the Better Business Bureau of Delaware and is a proud member of the Lewes Chamber of Commerce. 

“Celebrating 30 years is a testament to the incredible work of our team, the trust of our clients, and the strong values that have guided us from the start,” says Mike. “We’re excited to continue growing, innovating, and creating extraordinary outdoor spaces for years to come.”
