let us build your dream landscape
Land Art Design has been designing and installing creative and innovative landscapes since 1984. Working the land, understanding and navigating county requirements, being sensitive and attentive to your budget and lifestyle are all important to us. Each project is unique, and each client’s relationship is personal.
We are a team of professionals who have worked together for years. We have custom stone masons and carpenters, whose understanding and attention to custom craft enable us to build almost any imaginative vison or design presented to them. Thinking outside the Box is how we approach each and every project respecting your expectations and lifestyle.
In the March/April 2025 edition of Arlington Magazine, we were honored to be recognized as one of the businesses that have endured the test of time. With over four decades of experience, we have had the privilege of serving generations of clients and transforming countless landscapes. We are committed to continuing to serve the community for years to come.
In addition to this recognition, Land Art Design was selected as one of The Home & Design Portfolio’s 100 Top Designers for 2017. We were thrilled to receive this invitation and eagerly submitted a portfolio showcasing our exceptional designs for both the print edition and the H&D website. We cordially invite you to explore our work alongside other esteemed design professionals in the Washington metropolitan area.
Patrick Moloney2025-03-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have used Land Art Design on all my home landscape designs and they have exceeded my expectations. Hence, the reason why I return to them time after time as my Landscape grows and develops. As someone involved in the Design and Construction Industry for many years, I have no hesitation to recommendation Land Art Design as an exceptional Design and Build firm.

Lynn Wang2024-01-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have a beautiful yard thanks to Clare! We would highly recommend LandArt for any landscaping projects in the DC area. Clare is incredibly knowledgeable about flora and fauna and is thoughtful about where to place them in a yard. She considers light, water, and maintenance needs in her designs. She took our boring and dangerously muddy landscaping and made it into an outdoor retreat where we spend most of our time. Maria Saenz2023-02-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Clare is amazing! She made the process super easy and was a pleasure to work with! I was able to create my dream porch exactly the way I always dreamed! Gerry Salemme2022-02-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The LandArt team designed and implemented a full renovation of our outdoor space including new stone stairs and entry way, swimming pool, hot tub, kitchen area and pergola. It was an extensive project that proceeded flawlessly. The design and space are beautiful and the focal point for all of the family's outdoor entertainment. We couldn't be happier. Sean Reid2019-08-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We engaged Land Art Design for a large backyard construction project: screened porch addition (with fireplace), covered grilling station, retaining wall, new pathways (both flagstone and large stepping stones), hardscaping, new gate and fence, and a gated enclosure for our trash cans and generator. In short, the Land Art team was a pleasure to work with, and we would highly recommend them. Every aspect of the project is aesthetically and functionally better than we had anticipated, and we have spent virtually all of our free time the past two weeks (post-project completion) in the space. We spent a significant amount of time in the planning stages, and Clare and Jimmy provided 5+ different designs over a period of several months to accommodate all of our goals in transforming the space. Our project had a few conceptual challenges (roof tie-ins, etc.) that required clever solutions, and the Land Art team was up to the task. They were extremely patient despite our slow deliberations (and, to be clear, the delays were due to indecisiveness on our part and were not driven by Land Art!) and were prepared to move when we finally settled on a plan. Once we started, the project proceeded in accordance with the construction plan we had developed, with daily or weekly (informal) meetings with Jimmy and the crew to discuss upcoming activities and decision points. As a result of the significant time we spent on the design phase, there were not many change orders, and we did not have any issues when change orders were required. More importantly, Jimmy and the construction team were very understanding when we changed our mind on a design/construction decision... after the decision had already been implemented (which included painting, stains, some structural elements, etc.)! We will definitely use Land Art again in the future. Virginia Kinneman2019-06-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Land Art designed and installed multiple walls on our property. The work was phenomenal and exceeded our expectations. I can’t say enough good things about the work. True Art. Charlie Sexton2019-06-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our deck came out beautifully - Clare was responsive and her workers were prompt, respectful, polite and hardworking. Highly recommend - our space is beautiful.
