Roofing in Southern Maryland: How do I know if it is time to replace my roof?

The aging process for your roof begins soon after the shingles are installed. Your roof then begins to deteriorate rapidly during the initial curing phase of its life cycle. During this stage, granule loss may occur, small blisters may develop in your roof, or the shingles may curl slightly at their edges. During the cold winter months, you may even notice that this curling is more pronounced. While during the hot summer months, you may notice that the shingles may lay flat.

However, don’t be alarmed. At ClearView, we’re roofing experts who know the life cycle of your roof like the top of our very own house (using the expression “like the back of our hand” didn’t seem appropriate).

Roofing in Bel Air, MD: How do I know if it is time to replace my roof?

The aging process for your roof begins soon after the shingles are installed. Your roof then begins to deteriorate rapidly during the initial curing phase of its life cycle. During this stage, granule loss may occur, small blisters may develop in your roof, or the shingles may curl slightly at their edges. During the cold winter months, you may even notice that this curling is more pronounced. While during the hot summer months, you may notice that the shingles may lay flat.

However, don’t be alarmed. At ClearView, we’re roofing experts who know the life cycle of your roof like the top of our very own house (using the expression “like the back of our hand” didn’t seem appropriate).

Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia

Sometimes change is a good thing -- especially if that patio is looking a little lack-luster. You don’t need to spend a lot of money or have a large space to put life back into your patio. From the patio designs listed below, you can pick just one eye-catching idea or use a couple of them together.

1. Just Add Some Water

If your patio area doesn’t have a koi pond or swimming pool, add a fountain! The sound of trickling water is always very soothing and even if you don’t have a very big space, you can still add a table-top fountain.  But if you have the room (and the money), go all out and buy a birdbath with a fountain built in or a free-standing fountain.

2. Shade for Your Patio

The weather is warmer and you’d like to use the patio more than you do, but it’s so hot in the sun! There are many ideas that can provide shade for at least some of your patio such as: umbrellas, awnings, sails, pergolas and building a roof. Look at the space you have and be sure you know how you want to show off your personality; also make sure that no matter what you choose, it can stand up to any type of weather. If you choose a pergola, then you can add colorful climbing plants to add natural shade; umbrellas go with almost any type of style as do sails which are modern. If you choose an awning, remember that it has to be attached to your home somehow.

3. Fire Pits Are Great for Conversation Areas

A fire pit is a wonderful addition and a must have for a patio. The air can be a bit cool in the Spring and Fall but if you put some comfy chairs around your fire pit, you can enjoy the evenings and the warmth it gives off.

4. Patio Lighting

You should be able to use your patio at night just as you do in the daytime and the heat will be more tolerable then as well. There are various ways to light up your patio:

• · Landscape Lighting – Solar powered lights are a great way to light up the patio and they turn on by themselves as it grows dark. These lights need the sun to charge them so don’t place them in shady areas. Purchase several types so that you can put them all over: on tables, in your garden and on deck railings.
• · Outdoor Light Fixtures – If you want lighting to be permanent for your area, this is the way to go. These lights can be connected to a pole, house or another structure and they are available in lots of varieties.
• · Umbrella Lights – You can add lights to your umbrella canopy or buy a light centerpiece that will encompass the pole.
• · Decorative String Lighting – If you’re throwing a party or celebrating a holiday like the Fourth of July, string lights are popular. They come in all sizes and shapes and you won’t have any difficulty finding lights for your theme.
• · Outdoor Torches – These are great for not only providing light but keeping those pesky insects away as well! They come in all kinds of styles so you are sure to be able to find the right one that completes your patio.

5. Patio Container Gardens

Container gardens can contribute quite a bit to a patio and they don’t take much time. For the “wow” factor, go with colorful pots or perhaps use earth tone colored pots and let the flowers or plants bring that “pop” of color. You can use a couple of big pots with bold-color flowers or place several small, brightly colored containers around the patio or you could even have themed containers such as a teacup planter. The possibilities are endless and your patio will definitely be brighter!

6. Outdoor Rugs for Your Patio

Outdoor rugs will divide the wood, stone or concrete surface of your patio and will give it a comfy, warm, homey feeling. With outdoor rugs you could use the occasion to add those bursts of color or purchase rugs that will flatter the colors of your patio to make it a calm and relaxing area. One way or another other, your patio will definitely be appealing!

7. Add a Bar Cabinet or Party Cooler to Your Patio

If you like to have get-togethers with friends or family, then a bar cabinet may be just the thing for your patio. You don’t need a real bar, but if you have space then go for it. Otherwise, a bar cabinet will work just fine. Make sure that your bar cabinet is made to withstand all types of climate and that it’s large enough to store many different types of alcohol and wine – padlocked to prevent little hands from reaching inside. If you’re looking for something that will store food as well as beverages how about a party cooler? They come in several different sizes and styles from stainless steel to rustic.

8. Add a Patio Bistro Set

These 3-piece sets can be put anywhere in the backyard: in the garden, on the patio or by a gazebo or arbor. Bistro sets come in different types of material such as resin, metal and wood; and they also are available in several styles. The bar height bistro set is ideal by a deck railing, in a patio corner or at an outside bar space. A bistro set will make conversations a little more private.

9. Outdoor Serving Cart

Service carts are a terrific idea because they are very movable from one place to the next and can be used outside or inside. They have many uses as an appetizer cart, beverage cart, a portable table for guests or dessert cart. Serving carts are stylish and some even have a removable top table for serving or can be folded for easier storage. No matter which one you choose, your serving cart will be an added bonus to your patio.

10. Add an Open-air Kitchen to Your Patio Area

If you want a completely new way to barbecue, an open-air kitchen is a great concept and they come in several styles that will compliment any patio. If you have lots of space, and money, these kitchens are well worth it when you consider that not only could you have grilling materials but also a cooking island, refrigerator and a prep counter!

These are just a few of the many patio design ideas that are out there and they’ll get you pointed in the right direction. You may even come up with your own ideas if you take a look at your patio. So go ahead, take a long hard look at your patio area. Could it use some sprucing up? When you’re ready, contact us and we’ll be happy to help!

We all need them, in front yards or back. We need walkways in order to get from one part of the yard to another. And we’ve all seen those straight, concrete walkways that cut through the grass, marching toward the door as if nothing will—or can—get in their way. But walkways don’t have to be that way; they can add interest, beauty or a sense of exploration to your yard. So whatever you have now, here are some ways in which landscaping walkways can transform the experience of walking through your yard.

First, you need to decide whether you want to emphasize or minimize your walkway. If it’s the primary way to get from the street to your front door, and you love visitors, then you might well want to emphasize your walkway. If it’s one of those straight concrete pathways and you are happy with that, then think about some ways you can accent that walkway. Plants are a lovely way to do this, and you can create groupings of plants, with differences in height, to emphasize the walkway and still make it interesting. For example, you can have a pair of large flowering shrubs at the end of the walkway, one on each side, to emphasize the point toward which visitors are headed: your front door. Then line your walkway with a series of smaller plant groupings, perhaps a mix of boxwood or other shrubs, with some annuals mixed in for color.

If you are starting from scratch, then you might want to create a path that makes a large curve as it approaches your front door, giving visitors a chance to look in different directions and see more of your house as they walk. In this case, you might prefer a series of large flagstones as stepping stones for your path, perhaps with taller stones along the sides, to help delineate the pathway. Plant patches of colorful ground cover in the midst of those large boundary stones, or add fragrant ground cover plants, such as creeping red thyme, that are strong enough to be walked on, amongst the stones of the path itself.

In the back yard, you might prefer to minimize your walkway, making it more a path of discovery than direction. By planting taller, flowering plants, like roses and hollyhocks, and adding an archway with climbing vines such as clematis or honeysuckle, you can make the destination of your walkway a mystery to be explored, around the next bend in your landscaping. Perhaps the path itself can be made of bricks, or smooth river stones, adding to the sense of old world charm. If you have a backyard pond, perhaps the path can arch over the pond itself, and a bench set into a curve can encourage walkers to pause, sit and admire the beauty of your back yard.

The possibilities truly are endless when it comes to landscaping your walkways, so contact us today for more suggestions or to arrange a visit from our landscaping team.

When considering how best to update the curb appeal of your home, paver walkways should be at the top of your list. The versatility and durability of brick pavers makes them well worth the increase in price over concrete.

Paver walkways can beautifully define the path from the street to your front door and make that path so inviting that friends and neighbors will always enjoy the walk. Whether in a straight line or a graceful curve, there are many benefits of paver walkways.

• Pavers don't crack or peel like concrete or asphalt.
• Bricks are non-skid and low maintenance.
• Using sand in between the joints means pavers are a permeable hard surface. Water will sink into the ground rather than run off into the sewers.
• Pavers are available in many sizes, shapes, textures and colors to fit any landscape design.
• It's easy to replace a damaged paver if necessary. Just replace the single damaged brick instead of the whole sidewalk.
• Overall, paver walkways are affordable because they last far longer than concrete.

Curb appeal should extend into the back yard as well. When used to surface a patio or garden area, pavers are a very versatile way of adding a distinctive design component to an otherwise ordinary setting. Because of the many choices in paver design, color, size and layout, unique patterns can separate various areas of the patio, such as the cooking and dining area from the relaxing area. A winding path can lead further into the yard to encourage exploration of the gardens just out of sight.

The front and back of your house should complement each other and flow together seamlessly. Too many diverse design elements or products start to look choppy. So when you're ready to discuss paver walkways and create the curb appeal that sets your home apart from others in your neighborhood, contact us to help you develop a design that will deliver the relaxing and welcoming atmosphere your home should showcase.

Very seldom in this area of the country do you find the truly flat landscapes that you find in the Midwest. Here we have rolling hills, rivers and streams, as well as rock outcroppings, which could lead to building a house or designing a yard on a slope. This often requires the need for a retaining wall in order to prevent future damage to your home, deck, pool or other feature that requires flat land for its foundations.

So now that you have a retaining wall, how can you integrate it into your landscape design? Whether it’s a solid, unsightly slab of concrete or a rock wall, here are some ideas for beautifying your retaining wall and incorporating it into your yard.

• If it’s a block wall, find some way to cover it. There are some great outdoor paints which will withstand the weather for a few years. You can make it a focal point if you are artistic, or cover it with stucco if you wish it to blend in a bit more. You can also seal it with a waterproof material and then erect a living wall in front of it (like a vertical garden). We do encourage you to seal and then cover the top of the wall with stones to prevent moisture from getting into the concrete.
• If it’s well placed, make good use of it. If the wall provides shade in the summer afternoons and evenings, build a patio at the bottom of the retaining wall to create a lovely outdoor dining space. You can insert some outdoor wall sconces to provide a romantic atmosphere for dining or drinks.
• If the wall faces into the sun, capture that heat with a small planting area. You can easily create a planting bed with a second level of wall, lower than the first and using the same materials, to highlight plants that love the sun. Make sure to line your bed with impervious materials so that no water gets into your retaining wall when you water the plants.
• If it varies in height, use that to your advantage. You could build a waterfall that flows over your retaining wall and into a small fish pond, for example. Again, it’s important to use impervious membranes when building your waterfall and pond, so that no water weakens your retaining wall.

So are you ready to transform your plain, unsightly or just boring retaining wall? Contact us today to discuss these ideas and more!

Nothing is quite as soothing as a backyard swimming pool, and that's even more the case when it is surrounded by the right landscaping. Pool landscape design takes quite a bit of planning in order to come up with a look that is aesthetically pleasing yet does not detract from its usability.

Trees

Trees can certainly create an interesting backdrop for a swimming pool; however, there can also be some problems associated with them. Deciduous trees can result in a great deal of leaves for you to remove from your pool water, thereby resulting in more maintenance. Evergreen trees can be just as bad, as these specimens shed needles that could be even more difficult to remove than leaves. Rather than planting trees around your swimming pool, opt for a privacy hedge made from Boxwood or Japanese Barberry instead.

Plantings

Just because trees aren't recommended near swimming pools doesn't mean you have to forego greenery altogether. In fact, some tropical plants in large containers can make an excellent backdrop for your pool area. Try some ferns or banana plants near a fence or retaining wall. You could surround these with hanging baskets full of annuals such as African marigold, geranium or daisies in order to add bright splashes of color.

Hardscape

The right hardscaping can help tie your plants and swimming pool together. Why not consider a brick walkway that winds gently through your garden on its way to your pool stairs?  A trickling waterfall or gushing fountain can also help lend an exotic feel to your backyard and make taking a refreshing dip all the more exciting.

Landscape Lighting

You'll get more out of your pool when you consider landscape lighting to accent this area. Add a few path lights to your walkway so you'll be able to get to the swimming pool easily once the sun goes down. A string of lantern lights along a fence could be ideal for a late-night gathering, while lights inside the pool might be better if you plan regular evening swims.

When it comes to landscape pool design, there are plenty of things to consider. We'd love to help you turn your swimming pool area into a work of art that you'll be proud to show off to your family and friends. Contact us for more information.

Residential landscape design becomes more challenging when you have to deal with slopes. A skillful approach will help protect your home and your soil while creating a beautiful and functional outdoor environment.

If you love the view from your home on top of a hill, you also need to deal with the practical issues that come along with it. In addition to making the daily climb and tasks like mowing as easy as possible, you need to be extra careful about site stability and fire safety. In general, you want to limit the incline to a ratio of 3:1 or less, meaning up to a one foot rise in elevation over every three feet of distance. Drainage issues are also especially important for houses built near a slope.

Creating a series of short terraces is one of the best and most common techniques in this situation. They reduce erosion by breaking up a long slope into multiple steps that are less steep. That way more rain water soaks into the soil instead of washing away topsoil and killing your plants. If you want your terraces to blend in, use natural wood along with grass beds or other plants. For a more formal look, use materials like brick or stone.

To minimize your uphill walk, crisscrossing paths can be kept more level than straight ones. It’s also helpful to fill them in with firm materials that won’t spill out like loose gravel or pebbles. Flat areas and visual details can provide resting spots for your body and your eyes. Install a bench on a flat, paved area about one-third of the way up a lengthy slope or use a gate to call attention to the end of a flight of stairs.

Johnson’s Landscaping Service, Inc. is a family owned and operated business providing full service landscaping for Northwest DC and Montgomery County. Contact us to discuss solutions for slopes and other challenges.

Roofing in Columbia, MD: How do I know if it is time to replace my roof?

The aging process for your roof begins soon after the shingles are installed. Your roof then begins to deteriorate rapidly during the initial curing phase of its life cycle. During this stage, granule loss may occur, small blisters may develop in your roof, or the shingles may curl slightly at their edges. During the cold winter months, you may even notice that this curling is more pronounced. While during the hot summer months, you may notice that the shingles may lay flat.

However, don’t be alarmed. At ClearView, we’re roofing experts who know the life cycle of your roof like the top of our very own house (using the expression “like the back of our hand” didn’t seem appropriate).

Warm weather is on its way and with it, Spring. A time for birds returning, flowers blooming, trees beginning to leaf and lawns filling in with lush green grass. Your yard is looking a little lack-luster but you haven’t quite decided what kind of landscaping you want to do. Before you call us for help, some landscape maintenance is required.

First, if you didn’t remove the leaves from your lawn in the fall, now is the time. It’s important to rake the leaves off the lawn because leave-cover prevents the sunlight from assisting with grass growth. Check for insects and dead spots; if you have dead spots, grass seed is the solution.

Whether or not seeding is necessary, fertilizing in early spring is essential. This renews the lawn’s nutrients used during the long winter months. There are good brands of fertilizer to select that can be found at any hardware or home improvement store. Don’t forget to fertilize your lawn throughout the summer and early fall. How often? That will depend on your soil condition and grass type.

Before the mowing season begins, make sure your lawn mower is working properly and that the blade is sharp. When mowing, remember that different grasses should be cut at different heights. Cool-season grasses need to be cut at three and a half inches and warm-season grasses cut at two inches. Leave the grass clippings on the lawn because it’s actually helpful. It recycles the grass, known as “grass-cycling”. During those warm summer months, water your lawn on the really hot, dry days. Be sure to water only in the early morning or late evening, never mid-day; the hot sunlight will just evaporate the water. Don’t forget about those pesky weeds!  A good weed killer, like Ortho Weed-B-Gon, will take care of that problem.

So now that you know the basics and once you get an idea of what you want your yard to look like, contact us and we will be glad to help you design and landscape your yard. We will even maintain it for you if you’d like!

With spring comes the anticipation of gardening, landscaping and flowers. Part of a beautiful front yard landscape is a well-manicured lawn. But, keeping a lawn healthy is work. For starters, you need to know what type of grass you have: warm-season or cool-season. A lot of the grass in this area is a cool-season variety like fescue of Kentucky Bluegrass. The most common warm-season grass in the region is Zoysia or Bermuda grass. 

Once you have identified your turf grass variety, here are a few things you need to do to get your lawn off to a strong start.

Cool-season grass

• Apply crabgrass herbicide if you experienced a lot of crabgrass last year.
• Reseed any bare spots in March or early April.
• Hand pull or use herbicide to spot treat any broadleaf weeds.

Warm-season grass

• Apply broadleaf herbicide to kill wild onion or garlic in your lawn.
• Do a soil test to prepare any upcoming lawn renovation.
• Apply fertilizer after spring green up -- usually in May.
• If you need to establish a warm-season grass, wait until the soil is warm enough -- usually May or June.
• Aerate or use a reel mower to remove any thatch build up.

If your cool-season grass was not fertilized in the fall and you intend to fertilize it this spring, apply it at the rate used for all the grasses mentioned here -- .9 pounds of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet. Ideally tall fescue and Kentucky Bluegrass are fed in September and October. 

The warm-season grasses Zoysia and fine fescue are fed only once per year. Feed Zoysia in June and fine fescue in October. Bermuda grass should be fed twice, once in June and again in July, according to the Unversity of Maryland extension office.

A landscape walkway is a valuable element in your outside environment. Walkways provide useful access for getting around your site and add visual appeal by organizing your design. They also raise several safety issues that you’ll need to address.

Living in the Washington, D.C. area, you have to be prepared for snow and ice. It’s a good idea to clear your walkways of any debris or tools before a storm hits to make snow removal easier. Getting cracks and other damage repaired before the winter weather sets in will also help to keep problem spots and repair bills from growing. The amount of incline is another potentially dangerous factor. Steep rises and drops can be extremely hazardous when covered with ice. You may need to consider adding level landings or handrails in addition to using de-icing products.

Proper drainage is another factor. Melting snow and other water needs to be able to flow away. Otherwise it will cause puddles or freeze under the walkway and lead to cracks. One solution may be washes. These are slopes that tilt the walk slightly to one side so water drains off.

Texture and lighting are two more approaches for making walkways safer and avoiding accidents. Textured surfaces provide more traction so people are less likely to lose their footing. You may decide to use materials like flagstone or pavers instead of concrete.  Strategic lighting has similar safety benefits. Adequate illumination is especially necessary around steps and other critical points like landings, entryways and exits.

Johnson’s Landscaping Service creates custom landscapes to fulfill your wants and needs. We invite you to visit our photo gallery for more ideas about beautiful and functional steps and walkways, and contact us for a free consultation.

Roofing in Maryland: How do I know if it is time to replace my roof?

The aging process for your roof begins soon after the shingles are installed. Your roof then begins to deteriorate rapidly during the initial curing phase of its life cycle. During this stage, granule loss may occur, small blisters may develop in your roof, or the shingles may curl slightly at their edges. During the cold winter months, you may even notice that this curling is more pronounced. While during the hot summer months, you may notice that the shingles may lay flat.

However, don’t be alarmed. At ClearView, we’re roofing experts who know the life cycle of your roof like the top of our very own house (using the expression “like the back of our hand” didn’t seem appropriate).

A house on a higher elevation or slope has some great advantages: it’s far less likely to suffer flood damage, and the natural drainage means less standing water to weaken the foundation or seep into the basement.

However, a slope presents certain problems for landscaping. Not only is there erosion into neighboring yards, but whatever plants do grow on a slope are likely to be an eyesore without painstaking maintenance.

Obviously, the best solution is a retaining wall. But even that is inadequate without consideration of what will grow above the wall. Let’s look at some examples of how the wall location, construction and landscaping work together to create an attractive, low-maintenance exterior design.

Above on the left is a fantastic outdoor living area created by retaining walls and raised flower beds. Above on the right is another view showing the steps from the house to the sunken area.) The profuse, low-maintenance bushes and trailing vines above the walls provide a sense of privacy and insulation, while the beds provide space in front of the shrubs for annual or perennial color. The raised beds are ideal for healthy root growth, and the stone allows easy bed maintenance with very little clean-up. This is an heirloom-quality outdoor area that will be here for many years to come.

A retaining wall inside a fence serves an important function around a pool or patio area: while the wooden fence provides privacy, the retaining wall allows for professional landscaping that is protected from chlorinated pool water or fire-pit flames. The raised beds are spacious enough for trees, shrubs and flowering plants all. Below is another example, newly completed and planted.

Here is an example of a wooden retaining wall used on a steep slope bordering a play area. The new starter plants on the slope will quickly cover it, providing a nice backdrop to the play area. And wood, properly treated and installed, will also last for years.

Finally, below is another beautiful retaining wall, built to preserve valuable trees around new construction. This wall also contains space for shade-loving plants to complement the surrounding woodland.

These are only a few examples of how retaining walls enhance a property’s use and value. To see how Johnson's Landscaping Service, Inc., can serve you in the Washington, D.C./Maryland area, contact us today.

Dear Dr. Drainage,   

"Even several days after a rain, my back yard is squishy and muddy for days afterwards.  My kids can't even play out there and when they do, they and the dog track mud all over the house. 

What can I do?" 

Muddy in McLean

Dear Muddy,

I assume you've already put your kids on notice not to track mud through the house and you're washing Fido's paws after every outing.  Now, it's time to really solve the problem.  In many cases we recommend installing a french drain. 

Many properties have low spots that naturally collect water.  In those cases, sometimes you can just re-grade the yard and voila! problem solved.   

But in other cases, a yard may have soils with a low infiltration rate that remain soft, wet and muddy for days after the storms are gone.  In these cases, homeowners can install what is called a french drain.  We excavate a "main trunk line," usually through a drainage feature such as a swale and then extend branches out from the main trunk to the problem areas of the yard.    

French drains comprise perforated pipe protected by a silt sock and surrounded by open-graded gravel and then protected further by a geotextile fabric to keep soil from clogging the gravel.

Once the french drain is in place, the sod that was cut and set aside is now placed back over the soil. It allows water to infiltrate into the drain and is then carried away to a storm drain or other drainage system.  The results: Dry yard, happy kids and parents, clean house and nice doggy. 

Thanks and best wishes!

The Challenge:

This backyard oasis, in the heart of Bethesda, MD, boasts a manicured landscape, pool, and custom spa. But the existing wood deck did little to enhance the owners’ connection or enjoyment of their outdoor space. With multiple levels of odd proportion, the deck was underutilized and a constant frustration.

The first thing that struck me on my initial visit to the residence was; “something is missing”. The existing deck did nothing to harmonize or complete the composition of the house. So together, we set out to design and build (in the owners’ words) “a beautiful porch and deck space so we can watch our grandchildren enjoying the pool.”

The Solution:

A new screen porch nestles seamlessly into the corner of the existing house and completes the composition. Incorporating natural materials like; spanish cedar screen panels, and copper roofing the porch softens the line between inside and out while creating the perfect vantage point to watch over the pool.

The remaining deck space, though smaller, is highly functional for both entertaining and access to the back yard. Constructed of high quality composite materials the deck will be easily maintained so more attention can be directed to “spoiling the grandkids”.

Roofing in Baltimore County: How do I know if it is time to replace my roof?

The aging process for your roof begins soon after the shingles are installed. Your roof then begins to deteriorate rapidly during the initial curing phase of its life cycle. During this stage, granule loss may occur, small blisters may develop in your roof, or the shingles may curl slightly at their edges. During the cold winter months, you may even notice that this curling is more pronounced. While during the hot summer months, you may notice that the shingles may lay flat.

However, don’t be alarmed. At ClearView, we’re roofing experts who know the life cycle of your roof like the top of our very own house (using the expression “like the back of our hand” didn’t seem appropriate).

Even though there is still snow on the ground it is time to start thinking about flower garden landscaping for the coming year. With proper planning, the garden can have color from Spring until late Fall.

Local Plants

One way to ensure that a flower garden will do well in any environment is to choose native plants. These plants are already acclimated to the climate and the growing season. There are a wide variety of plants and flowers in almost any locality that will bloom and add color throughout the growing season. From spring bulbs to fall grasses, choosing native plants will make a garden easier to care for and less likely to fail from disease.

If there are non-native flowers desired, verify they are hardy enough to withstand local weather. This means understanding what they need for temperatures, soil, water and sunlight. Careful planning before the first seed is planted will help provide a garden that requires less work over the course of the growing season.

Blooms and Berries

When choosing plants it is also important to understand how long they take to germinate and produce blooms. Learn how long the flowers last and what can be done to extend the life of those blooms. Will pinching off blooms as they wither help the plant to produce more color, or will it just cause the plant to shut down?

Choose several plants and flowers that will grow and bloom at different times of the year. Don't forget to check into the berries that may be produced in the fall as these are a great way to add color to any garden. Consider flowering ground cover as well. The green leaves and colored flowers can create contrast and cover areas where larger flowers are not able to grow.

Add Some Height

Tall flowers are one way to add some interest to a garden because they add height. Consider adding grasses or flowering bushes for height as well. There are many grasses that produce leaves with colors and patterns that start as green in the spring and last into fall.  Bushes with spring blooms may also have leaves that turn colors in the fall.

Planning a flower garden a year in advance is the best way to create a lasting impression. There are many bulbs that must be planted in the Fall so they can flower in early Spring. There are also seeds that must be planted in the spring to provide summer or even fall color. Choosing a wide variety of flowers and plants will create a garden that lives from early spring to late fall. Adding new flowers and plants each year will help maintain an interesting garden.

If you live in Northwest, Washington, DC or Montgomery County, MD, and you want more information on flower garden landscaping contact us.

One of the many services we provide to our clients is the installation of window well egress systems. 

Window wells are small retaining walls made of a variety of materials built around basement windows to hold earth away from the windows. Current building codes require that basement windows in new homes be built with a  means of egress (door or window). Any living space in a basement, such as a bedroom, must also have a means of egress in case of emergency. The code also requires that the addition of a bedroom to an older home must include at a minimum a window well egress. 

Our clients like them for a number of reasons: 

1. A window well lets natural daylight into an otherwise dark basement. This can brighten up your basement and make it more pleasant especially if you have a finished basement where family members can relax.
2. Safety is also a big factor. In the event of an emergency, a window well egress will provide an emergency escape for family members and an entry for fire and rescue personnel. Basement windows open into a small space with stairs built into the retaining wall.
3. Most older homes have retaining walls built from galvanized steel and are open at the top and bottom. Today, we use high-strength plastic, masonry or stone. The new window well system is fully enclosed including the bottom to prevent weed growth and to keep small animals from burrowing their way under the window well and into the foundation. In many cases we use a high-strength polycarbonate clear cover to keep leaves and other debris from filling the well and to keep children from falling in.  

You'll want a qualified professional to install a window well egress system. It needs to be installed properly to keep  moisture from rain and snow out of your basement. According to the building permit department of a local jurisdiction (Fairfax County), DES installs more egress systems than all other contractors combined!

Please call us for an estimate on installing these beautiful features in your home and check out our gallery of photos and a video with examples of beautiful window well egress systems!

Even if you plan to move soon, there are many attractive and functional residential landscape designs that can help you enjoy your Northwest Washington, DC or Montgomery County, MD home. In fact, landscaping your surroundings may be even more important when you’re trying to create curb appeal to attract potential buyers. These are 5 ideas that produce fast results.

Sod the Lawn: You can quickly cover bare surfaces with transplanted sod instead of grass seed. You’ll get an instant lawn that should be relatively weed-free for a while. Note that if you want to prevent future grass loss, you’ll still need to diagnose and treat any soil problems.

Select Fast Growing Trees and Shrubs: Trees and shrubs that grow quickly are ideal if you’ll only be around for a couple of years. Of course, these plants tend to need more pruning later on.

Put Up Quick Privacy Screens: Inexpensive barriers are easy when you use fast-growing annuals like sunflowers or rampant vines. They’ll quickly spread and obscure whatever support you put under them so all you see are the flowers and vines.

Plant Container Flowers: Planting in containers is always an effective way to beautify and brighten your surroundings. Colorful flowers will call attention to your entryway and other best assets while playing down any parts of your property that may be less appealing. If you’ll be leaving at the end of the season, a single batch of annuals may be all that you need.

Create Walkways: Walkways make your yard look more welcoming, and they provide access for basic necessities like bringing in the groceries. If you don’t have time to pour concrete sidewalks, you can make paths more quickly with materials like paving stones or flagstones.

Residential landscaping can be adapted to suit the amount of time you’ll be staying in your home, whether that means a few months or many years.

If you live in Northwest Washington, DC or Montgomery County, MD, and you want more information on premium landscape solutions and services, contact us.

McLean, VA is known for its gorgeous scenery and fantastic landscaping. While it takes a great many landscapers to make this county one of the most beautiful in the nation, Botanical Decorators is the only landscaping company you need to rely on.

As an award-winning landscape architectural design-build firm, for more than 30 years, Botanical Decorators has provided design-build-maintenance services for numerous residential landscaping projects throughout McLean, VA.

Botanical Decorators understands that when it comes to designing, building, installing, and maintaining your outdoor space, you need a professional landscaping company that will help you enjoy that space to the fullest. We invite you to visit our portfolios to view the landscaping work we have done in McLean, VA. There you’ll find award-winning deck plans, patio designs, landscape design, pool designs, deck designs, landscape lighting, and other landscaping components like the pergola you’ve always wanted or that outdoor fireplace you could use to become the centerpiece of your McLean, VA outdoor landscape.

When you choose to work with Botanical Decorators, you’ll be working with a seasoned team of landscape design experts, electricians, masons, plumbers, luxury pools, and horticulturists who will be working together to create the space you’ve been dreaming of. In your one-of-a-kind neighborhood, we’re committed to turning your McLean, VA home landscape from boring to botanical. 

Luxury Pools & Inground Pools in McLean, VA

While many of our jobs tend to be intricate and large, we do not shy away from taking on smaller landscaping projects in McLean, VA. This is because no landscape is too big or too small for Botanical Decorators. Great landscape designis our livelihood and helping you, the customer, achieve your vision in a professional manner with the finest products available is what gets us up in the morning.

The pool is a space for relaxation, exercise, and entertainment. Whether you’re a client looking to make an addition to your new McLean, VA home or you’re a long-time resident looking to raise the property value of your estate by letting a luxury pool bring out the fun and flair of your backyard, Botanical Decorators has an inground pool builder who will take your deepest desires and turn it into a deep, blue wonderland of wet serenity.

Our approach to designing your new living space, whether it’s above water or below it, is to make sure your needs are met. We take into consideration the surrounding landscape and decide how best to approach the project. For example, if our inground pool builder takes a look at the space and consider it to be a big, flat box with hardly any character to fill the shallow end of a kiddy pool, the request for a pool (large or small) will be met with gusto and with an energy reserved for the most intriguing of challenges (because we sure do love a good challenge). Our inground pool builder will then prepare the space and let their ingenuity and landscape design prowess take over. McLean, VA homes with luxury pools come in many shapes in sizes.

Some luxury pools have automatic covers, and some homeowners have wish lists that include an outdoor fireplace, grilling stations, dining patios, and that must-have pergola you’ve been pining for. Our inground pool builder will make sure that every desire is taken care of. Need a shaded area next to the pool? No problem. Need a space for your pets to run around? Botanical Decorators has it covered. Need to make room for your garden? If you live in McLean, VA and need to customize your living space, Botanical Decorators can make that happen. 

Deck Plans in McLean, VA

Are you looking for a landscape design company in McLean, VA that is dedicated to providing you with budget-friendly patio designs and practical-yet-innovative deck plans? Our research, combined with many years of experience from the industry's most creative minds, consistently leads us to eye-pleasing results.

No clients’ deck plans are too grandiose for Botanical Decorators, because we understand that deck designs require more than just having a raised platform with a chair or two thrown in for good measure. The same applies to patio designs. We’re not looking to make an oversized walkway, we’re looking to make a masterpiece. Blasphemy! Our clients in McLean, VA are too sophisticated for that and Botanical Decorators wouldn’t want to have it any other way. From breakfast deck plans, to grilling & dining areas, when it comes to outdoor living spaces Botanical Decorators is that landscaping companythat can help you achieve your vision for the perfect functional outdoor environment.

Patio Designs in McLean, VA

The right patio designs can either leave a lasting impression on your guests or fall into the category of boring and bland. Lucky for you, a monochromatic, non-textured square block is never what we have in mind for our McLean, VA clients. Botanical Decorators wants you to have a landscape that functions as contemporary art at its finest. Patio designs complete with a pergola, outdoor fireplace, and landscape lighting are much more in line with what McLean, VA residents have in mind. A pergola defines the space and can reflect the architectural details found on your home. With your custom deck plans, we’ll be able to design the pergolain a way that mirrors your new or existing outdoor space.

If you’re looking for something more simple and are just looking for patio designs that will let you comfortably watch your children ride their bikes, Botanical Decorators will kindly oblige by coming up with creative solutions for your courtyard or other open spaces in a manner that fits within your budget. With Botanical Gardens you’ll find that a lot can be accomplished with even the smallest of spaces. Patio designs with accent pieces like bubbling urns enhance your outdoor landscape in a special way. And for those whose desires are more functional, Botanical Decorators can fashion you a path to a dining patio big enough to make way for a table and grill. 

Landscape Lighting and More in McLean, VA

Don’t just take our word for it. Here’s a testimonial from a happy customer from McLean, VA who called Botanical Decorators and is pleased with their new landscape! A customer wrote us…

“Botanical Decorators did a complete redo of front and rear yards, which included hardscaping, plantings and installing a revised irrigation system. The rear included extensive demolition along with masonry work, landscape lighting, picket fencing and adding a small pergola with gate. 

Botanical Decorators did excellent work to my McLean, VA home. They provided great landscape design, highly skilled labor, luminescent landscape lighting, and the communication with the landscaping company was good.”

New Homes | Bethesda, MD

All the hassle and stress involved in buying a home in Bethesda, MD can be avoided if you’re willing to purchase a new home instead.

Who doesn’t want a new home? The 1980’s-era wall-to-wall carpeting, 1970’s-era wallpaper, and enclosed kitchen designs can be too dated for the modern homebuyer. If contemporary interior decorating, high ceilings, green windows decked with plantation shutters, and granite-covered islands to match your modern, open-concept kitchen sounds more like your cup of tea, Bethesda, MD residents may find it more palatable to buy a brand new home.

If you know what you want out of a home and haven’t yet found what you’re looking for, it’s probably because your home hasn’t been built yet. This is why we encourage you to look at new homes in Bethesda, MD that will not only fit your lifestyle, but will give you the piece of mind that older homes will not allow you to have – fixer upper maintenance costs, etc.

Landscaping in Montgomery County, MD

Montgomery County, MD is known for its gorgeous scenery and fantastic landscaping. While it takes a great many landscapers to make this county one of the most beautiful in the nation, Botanical Decorators is the only landscaping company you need to rely on.

As an award-winning landscape architectural design-build firm, for more than 30 years, Botanical Decorators has provided design-build-maintenance services for numerous residential landscaping projects throughout Montgomery County, MD.

We invite you to visit our portfolios to view the landscaping work we have done in Montgomery County, MD.

When you choose to work with Botanical Decorators, you’ll be working with a seasoned team of landscape design experts, electricians, masons, plumbers, luxury pools, and horticulturists who will be working together to create the space you’ve been dreaming of. In your one-of-a-kind neighborhood, we’re committed to turning your Montgomery County, MD home landscape from boring to botanical.  

Luxury Pools in Montgomery County, MD

While many of our jobs tend to be intricate and large, we do not shy away from taking on smaller landscaping projects in Montgomery County, MD. This is because no landscape is too big or too small for Botanical Decorators. Great landscape designis our livelihood and helping you, the customer, achieve your vision in a professional manner with the finest products available is what gets us up in the morning.

The pool is a space for relaxation, exercise, and entertainment. Whether you’re a client looking to make an addition to your new Montgomery County, MD home or you’re a long-time resident looking to raise the property value of your estate by letting a pool bring out the fun and flair of your backyard, Botanical Decorators has a luxury pools designer who will take your deepest desires and turn it into a deep, blue wonderland of wet serenity.

Our approach to designing your new living space, whether it’s above water or below it, is to make sure your needs are met. We take into consideration the surrounding landscape and decide how best to approach the project. For example, if our luxury pools designer takes a look at the space and consider it to be a big, flat box with hardly any character to fill the shallow end of a kiddy pool, the request for a pool (large or small) will be met with gusto and with an energy reserved for the most intriguing of challenges (because we sure do love a good challenge).

Our luxury pools designer will then prepare the space and let their ingenuity and landscape design prowess take over. Montgomery County, MD homes with pools come in many shapes in sizes. Some pools have automatic covers, and some homeowners have wish lists that include an outdoor fireplace, grilling stations, dining patios, and that must-have pergola you’ve been pining for. Our luxury pools designer will make sure that every desire is taken care of. Need a shaded area next to the pool? No problem. Need a space for your pets to run around?

No clients’ deck plans are too grandiose for Botanical Decorators, because we understand that deck designs require more than just having a raised platform with a chair or two thrown in for good measure.

Patio designs complete with a pergola, outdoor fireplace, and landscape lighting are much more in line with what Montgomery County, MD residents have in mind.

If you’re looking for something more simple and are just looking for patio designs that will let you comfortably watch your children ride their bikes, Botanical Decorators will kindly oblige by coming up with creative solutions for your courtyard or other open spaces in a manner that fits within your budget. With Botanical Gardens you’ll find that a lot can be accomplished with even the smallest of spaces.

Low Maintenance Landscaping Design Offers Stunning Results with Minimal Effort | Washington DC

Most people love to spend their free time from work and obligations being able to unwind with their family and friends. When you have to spend hours working on your yard every week to keep it looking perfectly green, your relaxation time is reduced.  A low maintenance landscaping design uses a variety of environmental friendly native and exotic plants with eye-catching stones and pavers to make your yard look like a peaceful oasis. 

The majority of low maintenance landscaping designs take into account your yearly precipitation and average temperatures to offer you lush scenery all year. If you have dry summers, your designer may recommend a drought resistant grass or to avoid grass period and use a creeping ground cover. There are a large variety of plants that are trouble free; they resist diseases and require very little routine care besides yearly cuttings. Mulch is often used between plants and pavers to reduce the need for weeding and help plant roots retain water longer.  

Some of your favorite selections of trees, shrubs and flowers may be perfect for your new minimal maintenance garden. Evergreens are requiring little care once deeply rooted and add various green shades to your yard year round. The elegant deep purple leaves of a velvet smoke tree are perfect for adding that mysterious effect to your yard. If you prefer bushy cheerful flowers, the perennial peony offers you an easy to care for flower that will return every year. For larger areas that you prefer to have bright spots of color, hydrangeas are more resistant to droughts than other flowers and bloom all summer.

A landscape designer in the Northwest DC area knows what plants will look natural and help you design a landscaping plan that will require minimal effort on your behalf.   If you don’t want to put any effort into maintenance of your property, then contact Johnson Landscaping Service.  They are available to come to your home up to once a month or even once a week to fulfill all your landscaping needs.

They helped me take down, cutup and dispose of an old rusty chain link fence. They are dependable, pleasant workers, especially Mr.Marinho. We feel we are fortunate to have him work with us.

Here’s a testimonial from a satisfied customer who enjoyed our selection of outdoor grills:

“We found the store online, called and spoke with Tom, excellent knowledge on Weber's Outdoor Grills. We purchased The Summit by Weber, (luv it) they ordered and delivered unit, kept in touch with us by phone with updates, everyone we spoke with the day we visited store was friendly & helpful, they have been in business over 30 years. Also purchased weber accessories as well as individual covers for umbrellas. Tom is excellent at returning phone calls, we highly recommend this store - keep in mind the day we were there, they were very busy. We drove a little over 2 hours to visit the store, it was well worth the drive. We also purchased the Lava Heat 2G w/remote outside heater and love it. We have called customer service with Lava Heat Italia 3-4 times with questions and to order a cover. They have returned calls, they were very helpful and friendly and encouraged us to call whenever we needed anything or if we had any problems with the unit. We feel confident if we have any trouble or need assistance with the outdoor grill, Tom will be ready to solve our problem.”

Stunning Backyard Landscape & Swimming Pools in Alexandria, VA

By Brian Hahn.

Botanical Decorators designs and builds custom residential swimming pools in Alexandria, VA. By implementing creative design, precise engineering & extraordinary attention to detail, Botanical Decorators helped an Alexandria, Virginia homeowner make his long list of requests a reality in this cohesive landscape design/build project.

Our client requested premium materials & multiple design elements to improve the look and feel of their outdoor living space all while being low maintenance but colorful and interesting.  The landscape design included a 50’ long lap pool with an automatic pool cover, spa, an outdoor shower, grilling station, sitting patio with fire pit, kitchen deck with a lower level screen porch and gas fireplace. These features would require multiple patio areas, retaining walls to terrace the steep hillside, in addition to a landscape plantings & lighting plan to highlight the space.

The backyard presented numerous challenges: an 8’ grade change from the basement level to the property line, three easements and special rear yard setback requirements for the pool, patios and stone walls that restricted the allowable development space defined by Fairfax County, Virginia.

The key was to develop the property into multiple levels with several defined spaces that helped transform the existing steep hillside into a functional outdoor living space that has comfortable flow and is usable for large or small entertaining all months of the year.

Our approach to designing your new living space is to make sure your needs are met. We take into consideration the surrounding landscape and decide how best to approach the project. For example, our Landscape Architect will walk your project area with you, listen to how you want to use your new swimming pool and then create a beautiful Swimming Pool Design.

Our expert pool builders will then begin the construction under our watchful eye. Pools in Alexandria, VA  come in many shapes in sizes. Some pools have automatic covers, and some homeowners have wish lists that include an outdoor fireplace, fountain jets, waterfalls and slides. Our expert pool contractors will make sure that every detail is taken care of. Need a shaded area next to the pool? No problem. Need a space for your pets to run around? Botanical Decorators has it covered. Need a level yard area for the kids to play?  If you live in Alexandria,VA and need to customize your living space, Botanical Decorators can make that happen.

Backyard Landscape Designs Creating More Living Space | Washington DC

According to the Zillow Home Value Index, the average price of a home in Washington, DC runs upwards of $400,000. Each year those prices continue to rise.

What does this mean for people living in the Washington, DC area? If they want to experience the joys of home ownership, they are going to have to dig deep into their pockets to finance their living spaces.

Are you one of those who do a lot of living in your home but still come up short when it comes to having enough space to do all of your living? If so, one solution is to consider how you can create more living space by expanding some of the living you do into the outdoors. 

That's right. Urban living spaces often have more space outdoors that homeowners can incorporate into their homes, provided they think outside the box and utilize space that might work well. If only they could figure out the “how-to”!

Wise is the city dweller who incorporates backyard landscape design ideas so that the outside living space becomes an extension of home living spaces. 

With the help of an experienced lawn and patio team, you can come up with ways of taking existing outside space and turning it into an additional living area. Carefully placed plants, shrubbery, outdoor furniture and even custom-built carpentry can turn outdoor areas, either cozy and small or roomy and large, into an outdoor landscape design you'll be proud to show to family and friends.

Is reading or relaxation your thing? Add a small water feature, a hammock and a wooden privacy wall or vine-covered latticework just outside your back door. 

Do you need more space to entertain? How about a custom-designed patio or gazebo complete with a comfortable sofa, table and chairs near your outdoor fireplace or grill? 

The right plantings, flowers and other shrubbery can take your outdoor living spaces to an entirely new dimension. So, too, can your choices of exterior lighting add atmosphere, mood and perhaps a bit of magic to your evenings spent at home.

For help in beautifying your outdoor living spaces and turning them into additional living areas, visit Johnson's Landscaping Service, Inc. For more information, contact us online or visit our website.

Patio Designs For Your Small Backyard Space: Important Considerations

Perhaps you have been thinking about how you might utilize your small backyard space so that the design will create the most impact. Or maybe you just want a small, intimate space where you can enjoy the peace and tranquility of the outdoors.  Creating a useable, easily maintained and visually stunning patio in a small space means extra consideration is necessary. 

We want to figure how we can best place our materials to be able to get the most use out of the smaller space.  At the same time we want to be sure to include spaces for plantings or small water features which will improve the ambience of the outdoor space.  Here are three important things you should take into consideration when thinking about your patio design. 

Where It Fits 

Find a tape measure because in a small space, the details are most important.  Determine the length and width and then consider the addition of outdoor furniture.  Make sure that your vision matches the space with some room to maneuver or include guests.  A bench can take the place of two chairs and be placed out of the way when not in use. 

When Will It Be Used 

If evenings will be your prime time to use your patio, think about outdoor lighting and heating in your design.  If a cool mid-day retreat is your dream, think about the addition of a small pergola for shade.  This can also serve as a framework for climbing vines.  Take into consideration where the sun shines in the space to either take advantage of it or to avoid it. 

What It Should Include 

Many people desire a water feature for their outdoor space.  Others express an interest in a small outdoor kitchen or a firepit.  Ideally, you will have one main focal point with the addition of flowers and plants to finish the look.  Decide your most important feature and build around it.  The benefit of a small space it that it will feel complete without adding very much.

When you are ready to make your dream a reality, contact us at Johnson's Landscaping Service and speak to our Design Team.  We will be with you every step of the way to make that dream come true!

Stone Retaining Walls in McLean VA

By Bobby Barusefski

Anyone who owns or is building a home in Northern Virginia, Maryland, or the District of Columbia knows that the characteristically rolling topography in this region can provide a beautiful setting for their home.  While the rolling topography can be beautiful, it poses challenges to homeowners who want level areas for children to play and for hosting events at their home. For some properties, attaining this level area requires that a retaining wall be part of the landscape design. 

Botanical Decorators sees this challenge as an opportunity to introduce beauty into the landscape.  The designers at Botanical Decorators create artful landscape plans-many include a retaining wall. Botanical Decorators strives to install retaining walls that fit into the landscape by using materials that compliment the house on the property and that are indigenous to the area.  In addition, Botanical Decorators strives to configure retaining walls to work as artistic lines in the landscape to help define outdoor rooms and create level gathering areas.

There are many methods for designing and constructing retaining walls.  It is important that the landscape plan account for any local zoning and building codes. Also, depending upon the jurisdiction a building permit may be required if the wall is over a specified height.

Below is a picture of recently installed boulder retaining walls for a project under construction in the Great Falls | Mclean area of Northern Virginia.  Boulders were used to enhance the natural setting of the wooded lot while creating a sense that the newly constructed home has always been there.  A series of walls throughout the property help step the topography down in stages, rather than one large and intimidating retaining wall.  In addition, the large size of the boulders compliments the grand scale of the home on the property.  The end effect is a landscape that feels unique and special.

Roofing in Baltimore, MD: How do I know if it is time to replace my roof?

The aging process for your roof begins soon after the shingles are installed. Your roof then begins to deteriorate rapidly during the initial curing phase of its life cycle. During this stage, granule loss may occur, small blisters may develop in your roof, or the shingles may curl slightly at their edges. During the cold winter months, you may even notice that this curling is more pronounced. While during the hot summer months, you may notice that the shingles may lay flat.

However, don’t be alarmed. At ClearView, we’re roofing experts who know the life cycle of your roof like the top of our very own house (using the expression “like the back of our hand” didn’t seem appropriate).

Winter and spring are the wettest times of the year in the DC region. 

As a result, Soil and Structure Consulting often is called upon to evaluate and/or prevent retaining wall damage. One of the main causes of retaining wall damage is excessive water build-up behind the wall, or hydrostatic pressure. 

Whether it's a simple retaining wall of wood, stone or brick -- or a large complex retaining wall of concrete -- water damage is an ever-present danger to a wall's integrity. Water pressure can crack and deform retaining walls leading to costly repairs and in some cases replacement.

The solution: 

Wall drainage systems installed on the back end of a retaining wall can minimize the damage due to water and extend the life and integrity of any retaining wall.

If you have reason to suspect any problems with your retaining wall, please contact us and we'll come out and do an inspection. Acting now can save thousands in repair costs.

Backyard Landscaping Trend for 2013: Washington, DC Outdoor Living

As our everyday life grows ever more dependent on technology, many people are longing for the simplicity of nature. Whether you’re hiking in the woods or just relaxing and admiring your own backyard landscaping, spending time outdoors surrounded by plants and fresh air is good for your physical and mental health.

This year’s Garden Trends Report from Garden Media Group reveals a major societal trend of slowing down and redefining happiness. In general, people are starting to recognize that outdoor activities like gardening can bring them great satisfaction.

According to this article, the hottest landscaping trend of the upcoming year is creating scenic outdoor living spaces. Outdoor home decoration will become more sophisticated, with the goal of creating a desirable retreat from daily life. Instead of spending money and time traveling, more and more people would rather have a “vacation spot” right in their own back yard that they can use any time throughout the year.

From small patios to sprawling gardens, outdoor living spaces can be customized to fit the space available, while creating the desired effect, whether that is a cozy retreat or a gathering space for entertaining friends.

Now is the time to start dreaming and planning for your 2013 landscaping projects. What does your ideal outdoor living space look like? How could you turn your backyard into an urban retreat for soaking in all the positive effects nature has to offer?

Spending time in a scenic outdoor living space can boost your health and happiness. Check out our photo gallery for ideas and inspiration, then contact us to get started.

Best Patio Designs in Washington, DC for 2013

As we say goodbye to 2012 and make way for 2013, most people are thinking about new beginnings and fresh ideas for their homes. What are your landscape and design goals for the upcoming year?

A popular trend from the last couple of years that is sure to carry over into 2013 is an emphasis on outdoor living. In many areas, as winter turns to spring, homeowners are integrating their indoor and outdoor living spaces in order to take advantage of the nice weather and to save money. One way to do this is by creating a new patio or expanding your existing one.

Some great examples of popular deck and patio designs incorporate elements such as:

• Outdoor kitchens 
• Formal dining and seating areas
• Retractable doors between the house and the patio or deck
• Patio covers or enclosed patios

What are some benefits of these types of patio designs? They offer comfort and privacy, first and foremost. There are several other advantages, as well:

1) They save you money. With versatile kitchen and dining options, more people are cooking and eating their meals at home, which is usually cheaper than dining out.

2) Increasingly, people are discovering the joys of “staycations” and relaxing at home. Rather than traveling long distances for vacations, staying home helps you avoid travel costs and the general hassles of planning a trip.

3) When you integrate your indoor and outdoor living areas, you have more usable space. Multi-generational families, for example, can benefit from having more breathing room and living space that they can enjoy together.

4) Your options are limited only by your imagination! For instance, your outdoor kitchen and dining space could range from a simple grilling area to a more elaborate, gourmet set-up, according to your preferences. You might prefer a small and intimate space, or a patio large enough to entertain large groups.

Designing and landscaping outdoor patios is one of our specialties. If you live in Washington, DC, Chevy Chase, Bethesda, Silver Spring, or Potomac, contact us today, and we’ll help you create a unique and beautiful outdoor living space.

Expert Stone Wall Construction

Stone wall construction makes good use of naturally occurring materials that exist across the state of Maryland and the surrounding areas. When properly engineered, stone retaining walls can last literally for a lifetime. Install one and you may make a contribution to those that tend to the property far into the future -- perhaps even your own grandchildren or great-grandchildren.

Originally, stone walls and retaining walls were a natural outgrowth of freeze-thaw cycles slowly heaving large rocks toward the surface of area farm fields. Such stones were habitually cleared from the fields after the spring plowing. Today, other rocks may be quarried. This adds the potential for more angular rocks that will interlock well. It also offers the potential for more monochromatic designs where rocks will be consistently brown, gray, black, etc.

Smaller Walls

Lesser size retaining walls can be constructed of a single layer of interlocking stones or rocks. Proper backfilling techniques are a key to durable, stable walls.

Tilted Walls

Walls higher than about three feet are typically tilted into the hill for added stability.

Wider Base

Multiple layers of interlocking stones can further stabilize such retaining walls. Adding layers at the bottom of the wall further strengthens the base. Larger stones are often used in lower sections of the wall. They better resist freeze-thaw cycles and better handle the weight of the wall above.

More than meets the eye -- higher walls still only show that outer course of rock. That outer layer of material may mask the fact that the base of taller walls may be as much as three or even four feet wide.

Safety

Leaving the construction of retaining walls to the pros can be better than risking serious injury working with heavy stones without the right hydraulic and other equipment. Also, mishaps due to improper construction techniques have resulted in partial wall collapses that cause injury.

Design

Long straight walls and those that flow along the natural lines of the property are possibilities. Professional landscape designers can work with you to create the aesthetics that you want.

If you live in Washington, DC or the Maryland suburbs, we can offer creative and contemporary landscape solutions.
