LANDSCAPE ENHANCEMENTS
COMMERCIAL LANDSCAPE MANAGEMENT - SERVICING MARYLAND, DC, AND VIRGINIA
Lancaster Landscape's commitment to customer satisfaction blossoms in its approach to Landscape Enhancement.
Lancaster Landscapes will assess the characteristics of the site, taking into account the existing flora that can be preserved or enhanced. By carefully evaluating hardscapes, such as paths, patios, and walls, Lancaster Landscapes identify opportunities for improvement or integration with new design elements.
Our landscape experts consider climatic considerations and analyze sun and shade patterns, wind exposure, and rainfall to select plants that thrive in the specific microclimates of the area. Careful planning not only creates a visually appealing environment but also promotes ecological balance and reduces maintenance needs.
Grading and soil conditions are meticulously reviewed for proper drainage and soil health. By amending the soil where necessary and implementing proper grading, Lancaster Landscapes can create a solid foundation for vibrant plant growth and prevent soil issues such as erosion or water pooling.
Each flower, shrub, and tree is carefully selected to thrive in its environment, promoting biodiversity and reducing the need for chemical interventions. Our Virginia Certified Horticulturists will help with plant material selection and offer expert guidance on the best practices for maintaining healthy and thriving gardens.
As the project progresses, we provide regular updates and visuals in the form of conceptual sketches, site plans, planting plans, construction documents, detailed elevation drawings, and 3d models, allowing you to visualize how your landscape will evolve over time.
Once your design is finalized, our expert installation crew utilizes industry-leading techniques and best practices in preparing the soil, building the hardscapes, and arranging the plants. Every phase is carried out with attention to detail, laying the groundwork for a vibrant and sustainable outdoor haven.
At Lancaster, we believe that a well-designed landscape is an extension of your home—a beautiful, functional space that induces relaxation and inspires connection with the natural world. We will help create a landscape that reflects your personality and enhances your quality of life, season after season.
