Design Considerations

Our landscape designs address the specific challenges and opportunities of Arlington properties:

Climate Adaptation

Northern Virginia's climate features hot, humid summers, moderate winters, and varying precipitation patterns. Our designs incorporate plants and materials that thrive in USDA Hardiness Zone 7a, with careful consideration of microclimate variations across your property.

Soil Solutions

Northern Virginia's predominantly clay soils require special consideration for proper drainage and plant health. We implement soil amendment strategies and plant selections that perform well in local soil conditions.

Water Management

Northern Virginia's seasonal rainfall patterns necessitate thoughtful water management. Our designs incorporate strategic grading, appropriate drainage solutions, and efficient irrigation systems to manage water resources effectively.

Native & Adapted Plants

We emphasize native Virginia plants and well-adapted non-natives that thrive in Northern Virginia's climate while supporting local ecosystems and reducing maintenance needs.

How much does landscape design cost in Arlington?

Landscape design fees typically range from $1,500-$5,000+ for residential properties, depending on the property size and design complexity. This investment represents approximately 8-12% of your total landscape project budget and provides the crucial blueprint for a successful installation.

How long does the landscape design process take?

For most residential projects, the design process takes 3-6 weeks from initial consultation to final plan. More complex projects may require additional time. Installation timeframes vary based on project scope but typically range from 1-3 weeks for installation once designs are approved.

Do you offer phased implementation options?

Yes! We can create a comprehensive master plan that can be implemented in phases over time to accommodate your budget and priorities. This approach ensures a cohesive final result even when spread across multiple seasons or years.

Can you work with my existing landscape features?

Absolutely! Our designers are skilled at incorporating existing elements like mature trees, patios, or other features you wish to retain. We'll evaluate these elements during our site analysis and integrate them thoughtfully into your new design.
