ADVENTURE

We’re no strangers to adventure at Splash.

From our start as a one-man landscaping business in 1989, to the opening of our first retail location in a small barn in Dallastown, we have evolved, moved and learned more than we could have ever expected.

We eventually moved from Dallastown to East York, and then, in 2013, from East York to 1298 Toronita St. We thought this location would be our final home, the place where we would grow our roots and plan for a long-term future.

Those plans changed when PennDOT announced a highway design that will take the I-83 ramp straight through our display gardens. Then, in 2019, a fire leveled the original Toronita Street store. We rebuilt, knowing we would have to take it all back down when highway construction started.

But this isn’t a sad story. This is a story about adaptation, growth and a fantastic community that has supported us through the twists and turns of our journey.

After an exhaustive search, we found a perfect property at 1941 Powder Mill Road. This new location is just a 10-minute drive from Toronita Street, and it will give us more than TRIPLE the space to create a forever home for our family business, and a one-of-a-kind destination for pond lovers.
