The front yard greets visitors with a layered planting design featuring ornamental grasses, flowering perennials, and shrubs. These selections add texture, movement, and seasonal color, creating a dynamic yet low-maintenance landscape. The soft swaying of grasses and bursts of flowering plants provide a warm, welcoming entrance that complements the timeless architecture of the home.

Our team also undertook comprehensive site work, including grading and preparation to ensure a stable foundation for the landscape. We implemented an extensive stormwater management system to address Arlington’s unique weather patterns and the need for effective drainage on sloped terrain. This system directs water away from the foundation and pathways, safeguarding both the landscape and the home from potential erosion.

The stonework throughout the property is thoughtfully integrated, with robust retaining walls and clean-lined walkways that add structure and elegance to the landscape. These stone paths, accented by vibrant ground cover that fills the joints, guide guests to the front entry in a natural, visually pleasing manner. These elements are not only functional but also add a handcrafted quality that enhances the property’s aesthetic.

To maintain the lushness of the greenery, we installed an in-ground irrigation system that supports the landscape during dry spells, ensuring the plants stay healthy and vibrant year-round. Every detail, from the selection of plant species to the layout of each flower bed, was designed to achieve a balance of beauty and durability, rewarding the homeowners with a stunning, sustainable outdoor space.

Every detail, from the positioning of each flower bed to the choice of stone and plant varieties, reflects L&C Grounds’ dedication to quality and sustainability, with site work that ensures the landscape’s longevity and resilience.
