Every Fairfax landscaping project is priced after a free on-site consultation, because yard size, slope, materials and drainage needs vary a lot from one property to the next. Financing is available on larger projects like patios and full landscape installs.
Your lawn care quote is free and based on your measured lawn size, so you only pay for the turf you actually have. You can also see our lawn care pricing online on our pricing page.
Planting and bed renovations usually take a day or two, while larger design-build projects such as patios, walls and drainage systems can run several weeks. You'll get a timeline with your quote, so you know what to expect before work starts on your Fairfax property.
Fall, roughly September through November. Cooler air and still-warm soil help roots establish before the next summer. Spring planting works too, but new plants need more watering to get through their first hot, humid Fairfax summer.
Yes. Much of Fairfax sits on heavy clay that drains slowly, so soggy spots, runoff and pooling near foundations are common. Depending on the cause, we use French drains, underground downspout drainage, regrading or core aeration to move water away from your home and keep your lawn and beds healthy.
Native and well-adapted plants handle Fairfax heat, humidity and clay best, such as inkberry holly, Virginia sweetspire, oakleaf hydrangea, coneflower and switchgrass. We choose plants for your sun exposure, soil and how much upkeep you want.
Tall fescue is the go-to for sunny and partly sunny Fairfax lawns because it handles heat and drought better than other cool-season grasses. Fine fescues do better under heavy shade from mature trees, and Kentucky bluegrass is often blended in to help thin spots fill in.
Early fall, roughly late August through mid-October. The soil is still warm enough for seed to germinate, air temperatures are cooling and weed competition is low. Aerating first breaks up compacted clay so the seed makes good contact with the soil. Spring seeding usually struggles once summer heat arrives.
Yes. Our Fairfax mowing service covers mowing, trimming, edging and cleanup, usually once a week during the peak growing season. In July and August we raise the cut to roughly 3.5–4 inches to shade the soil and help tall fescue handle the heat.
Yes. We provide mowing, fertilization and weed control, aeration and overseeding, and grub, flea, tick and mosquito control, alongside landscape design, hardscapes, drainage and lighting. The same team that builds your landscape can keep it healthy year-round.
Yes. We care for single-family and townhome yards as well as HOA common areas across the City of Fairfax and surrounding Fairfax County, plus office, retail and data center properties. Commercial services include grounds maintenance, enhancements, irrigation and snow and ice management.
