Arlington sits in USDA Zone 7a, with cold winters and hot, humid summers. We design with resilient plants like Eastern redbud, inkberry holly, and switchgrass that thrive in Northern Virginia’s conditions.

Our designers like to plant windbreaks on the north and northwest side of properties to block cold winter winds blowing in This keeps the air in the yard warmer and blocks snow from blowing into the house.

Spring and Fall are equally delightful times to spend outside, and landscapes do well to offer plenty of space for outdoor dining, entertaining, and relaxing to capitalize on this climate.

In a nod to the city’s historical roots, landscape designs in Arlington favor the traditional over the modern. Hedges, well-organized flower beds, large lawns, and other features of the English colonial style are staples of residential landscape designs in Arlington.

From spring blooms to winter evergreens, our Arlington designs ensure your outdoor spaces stay vibrant and engaging throughout the year. Thoughtfully chosen plants provide seasonal color, texture, and structure.

Trees planted to the east, south, and west of a house will keep the house cool during warm months and warmer during cold months, reducing energy consumption for both home heating and cooling.
