Landscaping

For 35 years, Grass Roots Landscaping has been designing and installing beautiful landscapes in the metropolitan MD/DC/VA region. We take pride in our work and ability to transform yards into inviting, outdoor living spaces.

Landscape Design
You work hard to make your home comfortable and enjoyable, carefully designing and creating the interior spaces where you live and work. However, many people don’t extend this effort outward to the spaces surrounding their homes, thinking instead that a landscape should conform to that of a neighbor. While the common combination of lawn and bordering plant beds is a fine landscape, having a professional landscape design can increase your property value and extend your personal space.

Getting Started
Landscape design begins with defining the interactions you envision having with your outdoor area. Do you want to do a lot of outdoor entertaining, are you looking for a quite sanctuary, do you want a low maintenance landscape? These are some of the questions that our landscape designer may ask to determine what type of landscape is best for you. While some people choose to design their own landscape, Grass Roots Landscaping offers knowledge and inspiration developed from experience working throughout the area.

Executing the Landscape Design
No matter what your landscape design may include Grass Roots Landscaping can make it become reality. Starting from base dirt all the way to the completed lawn and plantings and everything in between, Grass Roots has the knowledge and experience to successfully implement your plan.

The lawn can be the most important aspect of a landscape. Laying sod is a good way to provide a uniform layer of grass that works as the foundation for other additions. The advantages of sod, over traditional grass seed, include a lack of weeds. Grass Roots can prepare your lawn for sod installation, making sure you have proper soil preparation, free of rocks, to allow the roots of the sod to establish itself properly.

Another option Grass Roots offers is hydroseeding. This is a simple way to spread grass seed and fertilizer at once. Hydroseeding is more cost effective than sod installation but quicker than establishing a lawn with grass seed. Hydroseeding is also an excellent option for erosion control.

The design can also make your landscape more livable and accessible with hardscaping elements. Well placed walkways, patios and walls can enhance your landscape, making it a true “outdoor living space”.

Maintaining the Landscape
A carefully implemented design will be easy to maintain, especially if the degree and method of maintenance are considered from the start. The critical thought here is that the land is always alive and changing. Grass Roots Landscaping offers landscape maintenance services to keep your landscape looking fresh and beautiful. We also install irrigation systems to keep your lawn & plantings watered according to the recommended schedule.

Your ideal landscape may be a lush green carpet of lawn, a bright flower bed or it may be a wooded glen, but choosing to design your landscape allows you to extend the personal space of your home outward to the natural world.
