Posted on Google Megan DennisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We found LandArt 14 years ago. They transformed our yard from builder grade plantings into a beautiful painterly landscape. We had a limited budget at first and Clare worked with that without making anything basic or boring. Through the years we have had LandArt back to add to the landscape. Our yard is our retreat and we are so grateful to Clare for having such a beautiful vision for us!Posted on Google James StuartTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been relying on Land Art for major landscaping projects and annual yard maintenance over the past 20 years, and could not be happier with the quality of its work and service. Land Art initially redesigned our entire yard which was suffering from erosion and was generally in a very bad shape. Land Art expertly designed and built a series of stone retaining walls, created stone walkways, built a bio retention facility required by Arlington County, built decks and fences and beautifully landscaped our entire yard. Over the years following that initial project, it has continued to improve our yard and kept it looking great.Posted on Google Travis GilmerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Land Art has completed several projects for us in the last 2-3 years, and we have been very happy with all of the projects. From major (i.e., a complete redo of our back patio into something we actually now love) to less-than-major (i.e., outside lighting of trees/pathways), Clare, Jimmy, Katie and the whole team are outstanding. When we need help with the outside of our home, whether it is hardscape or shrubs, etc., we choose Land Art, time and time again.Posted on Google Kathleen PageTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Land Art did a wonderful job on a new addition to my home and redesigned my outdoor space. I now have a beautiful deck, patio, additional bedroom and year round room overlooking my patio and yard. The contractors were professional, conscientious and easy to work with on this project.Posted on Google ScottTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We did a hardscape, landscape and porch/gable facelift with Land Art, and highly recommend them. We will likely use them again in the future.Posted on Google Emily MorinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Land Art did an amazing job for us. Our new backyard is fabulous, creative, and original. They were well organized, respected our budget and the employees were very respectful of our time and home. I could not give higher praise to any businessPosted on Google Patrick MoloneyTrustindex 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.Posted on Google Todd DorfmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They are amazing! We could not be more pleased with their attention to detail and level of service!Posted on Google Lynn WangTrustindex 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.
Each project begins with an on-site meeting with one of our talented designers. We’ll walk your property with you, assessing your needs, lifestyle, tastes, and budget.
Once the design is completed, we’ll schedule a presentation with you. Together, we’ll go over the proposed features and iterate until you feel happy with the finished design.
We’ll provide a detailed proposal for your review, itemizing each aspect and cost associated with the project, including various material and design options
Final design in hand, our craftsmen work to carry out your project with professionalism, efficiency, minimal disturbance, and attention to detail.
