Every project is priced after a free on-site consultation, because lot size, slope, materials and site conditions vary a lot across McLean properties. Financing is available on larger projects.
Planting and bed projects usually take a day or two, and larger design-build projects such as patios, walls and drainage can run several weeks. You’ll get a timeline with your quote.
Fall, roughly September through November. Cooler air and still-warm soil help roots establish before summer heat. Spring planting works too, but new plants need more watering through their first McLean summer.
Yes. McLean’s heavy clay drains slowly, and many lots slope toward the house or toward the Potomac, so soggy spots and runoff are common. Depending on the cause, we use French drains, underground downspout drainage, regrading, retaining walls or core aeration to move water away from your home and keep your lawn and beds healthy.
Yes. Many McLean lots sit under large oaks and poplars, so we plan beds, walls and patios around root zones, choose shade-tolerant plants and seed, and prune to let more light reach the lawn.
Native and well-adapted plants handle our heat, humidity and clay best, such as inkberry holly, Virginia sweetspire, oakleaf hydrangea, coneflower and switchgrass. For wooded lots we also favor deer-resistant choices, and we pick plants for your sun, soil and how much upkeep you want.
Yes. We provide mowing, fertilization and weed control, aeration and overseeding, and grub, flea, tick and mosquito control, so the same team that builds your landscape can keep it healthy.
Yes. Our team handles mowing, trimming, edging and cleanup on McLean lawns, cutting at the right height and frequency for tall fescue to encourage strong growth and prevent damage.
Your quote is free and based on your measured lawn size and the services you choose.
Early fall — roughly September through mid-October. Soil is still warm enough for seed to germinate, air temperatures are cooling and weed competition is low. Spring seeding usually struggles once McLean’s summer heat arrives.
Tall fescue is the go-to for sunny and partly sunny McLean lawns because it handles heat and drought better than other cool-season grasses. Fine fescues work better under the heavy shade common on wooded McLean lots, and Kentucky bluegrass is often blended in to help lawns fill thin spots.
Yes. Alongside single-family homes, we maintain HOA common areas, entrances and shared spaces, plus commercial properties across McLean and Tysons, including snow and ice management in winter.
