MARK WILLCHER & CO. INC.
About us
Working very closely with our clients, in achieving their landscaping goals, Mark Willcher & Company began almost 40 years ago with a very simple idea — that all of us need beauty in our lives, a connection to the natural world, and the sense of belonging to the place we call home. Gardens offer the opportunity to make out homes livable, but they also offer something more — a place for both us and nature to flourish. We offer personalized design, installation and maintenance services for landscape projects of any size in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area including Northern Virginia, Frederick and Baltimore. *By Appointment Only*

Mark's insights into path-making and redesign of circulation are especially insightful and helpful. He helped me see the possibilities for my home's landscape.
The entire project took several months. I would not recommend using Willcher if someone is expecting constant activity during the project. However, the pace of the project suited my schedule and I am pleased with the results.
"Thank you so much. It was exciting to install a landscape that works as a garden and at the same time, creates a bird and butterfly habitat."
"Thank you so much. Keep everything watered- pretty dry under those oak trees! See you in the spring."
"This was a great space to work in! Very small where every detail shows up. Thanks for letting us be creative."
"Great to meet you. Will follow up this spring to talk more."
His crew worked for days clearing and grading the yard. They filled giant holes where root balls had been removed. Gradually a usable yard emerged. Together with Mark we designed a new sunny space where a woodland had previously existed. Part of the design was to add a small flagstone patio in a grove of new dogwoods. Completed, the patio looks like a circle of flower petals and has become a focal point.
Mark added several other small ornamental trees, a grass ?path? to wind through the new garden, and a crushed gravel path. Ground leaves were spread over a large area to add nutrients to the soil while all new plants were mulched. His crew, eager to please us, sought our opinion and approval on many aspects along the way. At the end of each day, the whole site was tidied up, debris removed, and the sidewalk near their truck cleaned.
Mark Willcher & Co. will be returning this spring to start planting shrubs. We expect our garden recovery to take several years but we?re optimistic and know we?ve chosen a first class company to implement our ideas.
"The tornado destroyed a mature garden. Huge trees were uprooted and everything else under the trees was damaged also. Virtually none of the old garden survived. It was a pleasure to work with you in restoring what we could restore and visioning a new garden- sunny where there had once been shade and a new patio."
fantastic. He listens to what you want and then makes suggestions accordingly. I have not comparison shopped because we have been so satisfied, so I cannot compare his pricing with others, but I feel like it is competitive. His teams work clean and do what they are supposed to do. We walk the property with him at least once a year to plan. It has been a great partnership.
