Top Backyard Landscape Contractors in Ashburn

We had our small backyard almost completely remodeled: removing our old concrete driveway, regrading and installation of a stone block retaining wall, sod installation, extending an existing patio and installing techo block overlay on our existing steps and newly extended patio. We had a pretty good idea of what we wanted and got quotes from three different contractors. We decided to go with Green Future, despite them not being the cheapest of the three, for a number of reasons. First, John Kattwinkel, our only real contact with the company prior to beginning the job, was extremely knowledgeable, flexible, and responsive. John sent us a detailed design and quote within a couple weeks of looking over the job site and talking with us. We made a number of changes he helped talk us through and was quick with changes to the design and quote. Second, Green Future was initially the most responsive of the contractors and their proposed timeline was the quickest (material delays upended this, but it was initially a factor for us). Third, we were particularly concerned about the health of the tree in the yard as it was relatively close to the proposed retaining wall. John talked through the standards for protecting a tree like that and even offered to bring in their arborist. Once work began the crew was friendly, arrived early every morning, and worked clean. The job progressed very quickly. And we were essentially finished within a week of starting the job. The finished product exceeded our expectations in every way. The installation is inch perfect. The materials that John suggested are beautiful. Our backyard is now the nicest part of our house. Our only complaint was the delay in beginning the project, which was substantial, due to issues sourcing materials -something that is common everywhere these days. The delay was unfortunate but not John's fault as I understand it. Highly recommend.

We were very pleased with the results. Our goal was to maximize the backyard space for our kids to have a more open area. Remy Landscaping met that goal. They cleared the backyard maintaining the privacy offered by the bushes.

The crew was meticulous and hardworking. A truly professional landscaping service. Thoroughly impressed with owner Andre Passos and his team. Communication was clear throughout the process. After a day-long landscaping job with a crew of four, the team transformed my yard into an incredible-looking improvement. They set a higher bar with their knowledge and application of native plants into the landscape.

Lazaro and his crew members, Fidel, William, and Issac, transformed our back yard from being a dirty and unpleasant hellscape where my wife and I never spent any time to being a beautiful and clean space where we can host parties, cookouts, and relax. The crew was extremely professional, organized, thoughtful, experienced, efficient, and communicative throughout the course of the project. I was quite impressed with their design and planning skills, extensive experience, and passion for their work. My wife and I own a small row house with a small back yard, which presented unique challenges to the crew: no back yard access except through neighbors’ properties. The crew handled this challenge well by being communicative and friendly with my neighbors and always cleaning up the space at the end of each working day. They always ensured that the fencing and hardscaping looked good from both sides of the property line, so that my neighbors were also happy! Another challenge was that an adjacent property is about 3 feet above grade and not pleasant to look at from our yard. Lazaro’s planning and vision for a beige brick half-wall, topped with wooden lattice flower boxes was a great finishing touch that provided a beautiful transition between the red brick paver patio and the elevated wooden fence to block the view of the adjacent property. The crew carefully planned their work from the beginning, so that there were no surprises at the end as the finishing touches were put on and the fence was erected. My wife and I are also confident that the money we spent on this work will be a great investment—not only for enjoying our new home, but also in the resale value some day in the future. Our back yard is now something to brag about! We are also confident that the work quality and materials are built to last a very long time. We are so happy. Thank you, Lazaro!

Let me caveat my review with the fact that I am a local realtor. I deal with a lot of contractors, and refer out a lot of contractors to clients. Tony at NoVA Landscape Construction Is at the very top of that list. Our family spent the better part of a year working with his crew to transform our yard and pool area. At the end of that time, I can still say I’m thrilled that we went with Tony and his crew for this renovation. Not only because of the outcome of our space, but because of the communication that we received consistently through our work, and with the caliber of work I saw happen in my backyard! Tony and his crew transformed our back yard pool area into a retreat. Our pool is about 40 years old. I don’t believe it had ever been resurfaced. We started there with Tony and his crew and as we talked about our vision for up there our design options grew. We opted to reconfigure the entire space around the pool, and Tony Was able to take our vision and make it happen! He was receptive to all of our requests, even the ones that were a little more difficult for him to fulfill like a very specific color of a crêpe myrtle tree for the landscaping, with a can-do attitude! We now have a wood-burning fireplace, we ran a gas line to heat the pool and put in gas heaters for the pavilion area, added a fridge a grill, garbage and recycle bins , and a cooler box to easily access drinks. The space is truly an oasis for our family now. We do a lot of entertaining and everyone who has stopped by has been so impressed with the space. We are beyond thrilled with the results and would highly recommend Tony and his team for any home improvement project you are considering!

Ben, Connor, and the entire Independence Landscape Team are absolute masters at their craft and some of the most professional, responsive individuals I’ve ever worked on a project with. The job included designing/redoing our frontyard bed, installing downspouts, building a 330 square foot backyard patio bordered by a dry creek, installing natural stone steps leading up to the patio, and designing/executing new backyard landscape beds. Our backyard - which is on a slope and not a huge space to begin with - looks out onto a shared driveway. Given that, my wife and I struggled with how to create a sense of privacy in our backyard without having a fence installed. Of all the professionals we met with initially, Ben, our Project Manager and Connor, who did a lot of the design work, had the clearest vision of how to get it done. Both were mindful and in tune with what was important to my wife and I. Both were creative in working within the parameters of our space to deliver what is in my opinion, the very best job that anyone could have done. Big credit to the the teams that came out and did the work as well, Cheto included. The results are stunning and my wife and I couldn’t be happier.

We have used Hawthorne Garden Design twice and each experience was positive. Tamara and the installation team were responsive, patient, friendly, and professional. She listened carefully to our requirements and her recommendations brought our vision to life. Communications throughout the project were frequent and we always felt we could get our questions handled quickly. We added a small project just before our most recent work began and Tamara quickly provided design options, a detailed estimate, and ensured that this work was done without upsetting the primary project’s schedule. The installation team worked quickly, quietly, and completed the work faster than anticipated. The finished project is impressive. If you are planning to undertake any landscaping work, you should strongly consider Hawthorne Garden Design.

We contacted Groff back in November 2021 wanting to completely overhaul our backyard. We didn't have a ton of space but it was completely unapproachable and always flooded. I told them I wanted a backyard that was low maintenance and something I was happy to actually spend time in. Additionally, we needed the water issue dealt with. They worked with us through multiple design iterations and about 7 months later we started construction in the back. We have been extremely happy with the results. When there were issues, they were quick to address and loop the right people in. We now have a backyard that is definitely the envy of the neighborhood and is something we absolutely love to be in.

Nothing is more important to the success of a project than effective communication. Throughout my entire project (e.g. requirements gathering, design, excavation, hardscape, landscaping, and planting) Xtra Care Landscaping & Design maintained excellent levels of communication and they did a fantastic job bringing our vision to life. From the project managers and customer service rep to the project crews and billing department, the entire team was excellent, easy to work with and responsive to our needs. Our new space looks fantastic!

Met with provider, the rep sketched up some very basic plans for our backyard based on specific product line that they sold. It was limited due to cost and products and time involved but gave us some ideas for improving our backyard.

Went from a really messed up backyard to a beautiful backyard thanks to East Coast Landscape. Mark was really helpful answering any questions I had. Their crew was very professional and communicated any issues to me as they came up.

Donnell (landscaper), Luis (hardscape), and Jill (front office) are all very professional, easy to work with, understood what I wanted and delivered exactly what I wanted without breaking the bank. Luis will be back in the Spring to help me with some finishing touches to the hardscaping (this was my decision due to budget constraints). I have hired Donnell to continue with the maintenance (plant and tree trimming, weed removal and mulching as necessary as my yards have no grass) and look forward to working with him again.

Awesome!!! The folks were great, from beginning to end. They provided 3 excellent visual designs and quotes for us to choose from, and completed the work on-time and on-budget. Their price was significantly lower than 2 other estimates we received whose quotes did not provide any visual depictions of the finished product. I would hire MA Cleaning & Landscape Design, Inc. in a heartbeat!

Grasshopper Landscaping did a great job landscaping my backyard. I also use them for my regular lawn maintenance and recommend their services.

We worked with Green Future Construction, Landscaping and Tree Specialists for a comprehensive backyard project that included tree removal, full re-grading and sodding, fencing, and perimeter landscaping. John did a great job working with us to build a plan, and Thomas was on-point to make sure it was executed. Both John and Thomas were responsive to email, text, and phone calls - and they always made themselves available to answer questions without any problem. The team also worked very hard, were extremely friendly and attentive to details, and their craftsmanship was first-rate. The project was also very fairly priced, and they never tried to get us to do more just to spend more money - always presenting the best options within our budget. We would most definitely (and likely will) work with Green Future again.

I chose VM Drainage and Erosion solutions after consulting with four contractors. They were the only one that provided a detailed task by task description and cost estimate. With this I could determine exactly what was going to be done and how much it would cost. The other 3 contractors only provided line items and cost with little to no detail leaving me with a lot of questions about what was covered under their line items, i.e. the details that matter. This left open the potential for disputes on exactly what was covered and made it very difficult to compare the project scopes of the contractors. VM Drainage estimate was attractive but not the lowest. But then comparing work scopes was difficult. Bottom line is I got a job that was well executed, took into account all my concerns, and based on conditions after more than a month, is working well. I highly recommend them based on cost, customer orientation, quality of work and time of execution.

Sareena and her team are awesome! She met an extremely tight timeline ahead of schedule with superior results. New fence, brick work, planter boxes and sod look outstanding. No surprises. Professional crew. On time. On budget. Would highly recommend. Jeremy

Rob and his team were hired to redo our swampy backyard. Sean (the designer) took the rough ideas I had and designed a beautiful space beyond what I could have imagined. The team built a beautiful patio, with fantastic drainage. They also incorporated a fence and landscape to finish the design. The beautiful backyard has enhanced our home and outdoor living space. We love Rob and his team! They did an amazing job.

I was so fortunate to have found Dandrin and his team to install our beautiful patio with a bench in our backyard. Dan and his team were punctual, professional and created a masterpiece in our backyard they put a lovely array of big and colorful plants. Dandrin's team are terrific people with great ideas and are a joy to work with. I would highly recommend them for design, install, and maintenance to those who are particular and want outstanding service. Thank you dandrin!

Mr. Weiler contacted me after I posted a review on Angie's about complications that I was having with work that her performed 5 years ago. Mr. Weiler was extremely pleasant and eager to correct a problem that developed 5 years after the initial work was performed. While he was here, I had to do some minimal additional work completed by him. The work was performed wonderfully. And Mr. Weiler was very patient in listening to my requests and completing the work as requested. This is the 4th time I've used Weiler's. And I am very pleased with the work and his rates are quite competitive. I'm not sure how to up date my other post. But will look into it. Mr. Weiler went above and beyond to rectify a 5 year old incident.
