WHAT AREA DO YOU SERVE?
We serve mostly the Northern Virginia area, including
Fairfax, Loudoun, Fauquier, and Prince William counties;
and also Clarke and Arlington counties. (Usually,
properties within one-hour driving time.)
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN IN BUSINESS?
Since 1982—we are in our 27th year of designing and
installing landscapes that cater to our customer’s
individual lifestyles and site requirements.
ARE YOU LANDSCAPE DESIGNERS OR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS?
We are landscape designers. We design outdoor living
areas taking into consideration site conditions that
will affect drainage as well as plantings to compliment
your home including areas of sun and shade, wind,
privacy, care and upkeep, watering, and circulation
around your property.
DO
YOU ONLY DO DESIGN WORK?
We are a design/build landscaping company—we design and
install. We feel it is very important to work through an
entire project with a customer so what is communicated
at the initiation of the job is installed upon its
completion.
The design remains the property of Plant-A-Plant
Landscaping Company throughout the project. Since it is
presented to you on a flat piece of paper, and your
property has its own natural features, some changes may
need to be made as work progresses to accomplish your
desires in connection with the property constraints.
ARE HARDSCAPES INCLUDED IN YOUR DESIGNS?
Our hardscape installations include
walkways,
patios, and
driveways using
pre-cast pavers, brick, or flagstone, as well as various
types of retaining
walls—they are all handsome and functional assets to
your home and property.
DO
YOU GIVE FREE ESTIMATES?
We do not offer a complimentary estimate. One of our
designers will meet with you at your home for a
consultation. Typically, this takes about an hour or two
and there is a fee of $35.00 per hour. This initial
on-site meeting gives you an opportunity to discuss your
landscaping goals—short and long term, your plant and
color preferences, and your budget. Our designer will
walk the property with you, ask questions, make
suggestions, and share our portfolio with you to
establish your desired landscaping style and to show you
some of our completed projects. We need your plat and if
possible, grading plans to discuss your property.
DO
YOU HAVE MAINTENANCE SERVICE?
We offer a maintenance program. After installation, a
great number of our clients opt for maintenance, either,
monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, or seasonally. Our
services include the basic care to maintain a healthy
landscape from spring clean-up, through the summer
growing season, to tucking your plants in for the
winter: pruning, applying fertilizer and/or
pre-emergent, weeding, edging, mulching, and annual
color rotation. Mowing grass is not included in our
service.
WHAT OTHER SERVICES DO YOU PROVIDE?
We can facilitate the installation of walkway lighting,
irrigation systems, small to large water features and
ponds (our new system is a customer’s delight since it
requires minimal maintenance). Also, we can to earthen
ponds.
DO
YOU HAVE A RETAIL NURSERY?
Although we grow seventy-five percent of the plant
material, certified VIRGINIA’S FINEST, that is used in
our landscaping installations, our nursery stock is
especially maintained for these installations and is not
sold retail.
All of our customers, prior to the installation of their
new landscaping design, are encouraged to have a second
meeting with their designer at our nursery to tag the
plant material of their choice.
We invite you to call our office when you would like to

8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
