Each year, landscape companies from Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia submit their best projects for the LCA Excellence in Landscape Awards. The projects are judged by a group of leading landscape professionals who evaluate and acknowledge exceptional design, installation, and maintenance in residential and commercial projects.
Many award winning designs are featured in Home & Design magazine, LCA Groundwork, and LCA social media distribution. Awards are presented at the end-of-the-year annual Excellence in Landscape Awards Dinner.
A Centreville Residence
Despite their location in the Northern Virginia suburbs, the homeowners envisioned an all-season outdoor living space that would feel like a lodge at one of their favorite vacation destinations—Jackson Hole, Wyoming. We constructed a heavy timber and beam structure that consisted of solid cedar, rough sawn lumber that is not only luxurious but clearly showcases the craftsmanship of our masons and carpenters. The pavilion structure and connecting arbor are enhanced with exposed rafters, precision stonework, outdoor kitchen, fireplace, ceiling heaters, and all of the amenities of a vacation lodge.
Carnaggio
The client's primary goals were to secure the house, foundation, and shoreline of his newly purchased vacation home on the Chesapeake Bay and to create an environmentally friendly section of shoreline to help spark the interest of his neighbors to continue this effort. The old retaining wall was not properly working and dirt was spilling over the top of the wall, allowing sediment and contaminants to make their way into the Chesapeake Bay. The project consisted of six individual walls totalling 3,570 square feet. Both sides of the walls, separated by a flight of stairs, had to be the exact same height. This was a challenge since we were building them separately and at different times.
Phoenix Residence
The customer wanted the focus of the backyard space to be a natural stone fireplace. We decided to design and build a one-of-a-kind natural stone fireplace using locally sourced stone. The stone fireplace is accented with natural stone arches/keystones and has bluestone buildups for the mantle and chimney details. The patio was created using natural cleft slabs and infilled with a blue mazus ground cover to create a natural appeal while still maintaining adequate drainage. All stone was fabricated and hand chiseled to create the fireplace.
Sanctuary in Triangle
Vibrant, lush landscaping with a flowing stream surrounded by natural stone boulders immediately catch your eye on this project, while the deck, outdoor kitchen, resort-style patio, and fire pit are the main components. The goal of this project was to add visual interest and appeal to the back of the home that fit in with the style. A new deck with an outdoor kitchen was built, with steps leading down to a separate patio space. To add more appealing textures and materials, we included a natural stone veneer wall and a finished wood ceiling. Connected to the patio, natural boulder stepping stones lead to a separate fit pit area. The full landscaping and water feature make the space serene and peaceful yet perfect for entertaining friends and family.
Great Falls Property
We were called in to renovate the entire front yard of this 25-year-old home. Overgrown shrubs and too many trees were overwhelming the property and obstructing any views. Our scope of work entailed massive cleanup and removal of existing plant material; construction of a new arrival court, a brick wing wall, and a pier to set off the parking area while creating a screen for the garbage and recycling bins; renovation of the front steps; addition of of a pre-cast border around a lawn panel; and installation of new plantings throughout.
Elegant Entryway
A high-profile client that was concerned about security and privacy engaged us to design a front entry that matched the existing architecture of the home. Along with privacy, the client asked us to add charm and visual appeal to the front of the home. The classic, lush entryway signifies a first impression that sets a luxurious tone when entering the property. This project incorporates custom automatic gates with layers of landscaping to create a private oasis. Burfod holly trees, magnolias, boxwoods, and hydrangeas create additional screening behind the masonry wall and wrought iron fencing while keeping the classic, timeless feel of the home.
Bastinelli Residence
For this project, the client came to us with the idea of a grand entry with curb appeal. As they granted us free reign with the design, we took inspiration from his colonial-style house. Staying with this style, we designed the entry and steps to reflect the large house’s traditional, formal style. Clean lines of brick, bluestone, and cobblestone were used to achieve this look. The project entailed an open area leading into a flight of stairs down to an entryway to the front door of the house. In addition, the project included drainage, planting, and lighting.
A Shady Retreat
The owners asked for a complete outdoor living area that would include a swimming pool with an attached spa, pool house, and fireplaces, as well as beautiful and extensive plantings. The owner wanted to retain the existing mature forest. The major challenge was dealing with the elevations and drainage. Our design minimized the use of retaining walls by incorporating slopes, a turf swale, and catch basins. The pool was designed with an elevated spa with a water spillover. We did all the exterior stonework on the pool house and constructed the fireplace and chimney. The pool decking and the patios are all travertine. Hundreds of perennial plantings bring the area to life through the summer swim season.
Geros Residence
The clients contacted our design team to develop an outdoor living area in their backyard that would incorporate the existing pool house. A spa was placed on the pool's far end with a cedar pergola and seating area centered behind it. Other design features include an outdoor kitchen, a gas fire pit, a rain garden, and architectural stone retaining walls. Gorgeous curved limestone and natural stone steps were constructed to traverse grade from the lower patio and fire pit to the pool deck. Lush plantings, screen trees, and perenneal gardens create privacy. The final addition of outdoor lighting casts night beauty to a spectacular garden oasis.
Glazer Residence
This outdoor living area was developed as a request from our client for a swimming pool and seating spaces. Due to grade changes, a raised swimming pool and terrace were designed. Natural stone was used to face all elevated walls and step risers. Flagstone was selected for walkways, terrace surface, and pool deck. As requested by the homeowner, a curved edge at the pool deck allowed for the crape myrtle allée with a hedge of plum yew. The garden is full of boxwood, roses, hydrangea, liriope, seasonal color, and planters. Large evergreens provide the privacy that this intimate garden deserves. Anntry walkway from driveway provides egress through lush plantings leading to this private outdoor entertainment space.
Landy Residence
The homeowners contacted us to develop an outdoor living space, requesting a pool, spa, and outdoor kitchen with bar. The outdoor kitchen was designed at the corner of the existing patio and covered with a solar-powered pergola/roof system. Natural stone was used to tie material to existing retaining walls and the backyard. Silver travertine makes up the pool decking and walkway to the spa. Existing stucco walls became planters for new planting gardens. A large stucco retaining wall on the right near the pool house was removed and rebuilt to make the cabinet space needed for the pool equipment. A fire feature was added for enjoying family and friends in the evenings.
A Kensington Residence
This client contacted us to design a multi-use outdoor living space. The entire allowance for impervious ground had been spent by the builder on this tear-down/new build on a small lot in Kensington, Maryland. With only the footprint of a patio the builder had provided, we were able to do everything on the homeowner’s wish list. Raising the grade to the level of the first floor eliminated wasted space. Using the garage wall as the backdrop of the water feature into the spa allowed some of the plumbing to be located inside the garage, freeing up valuable space. A heavy-beamed pergola and eyebrow arbor help bring the exterior style closer to the client’s preferred aesthetic. Whether grilling, exercising, relaxing, or entertaining, this outdoor space exceeded all of the client’s expectations.
McLean Property
While an extensive renovation of the home was well underway, we were asked to join the team and create a luxurious and elegant outdoor living space to complement the modern design. The client requested the style should be simple, sleek, modern, and functional. Our scope of work included a water feature, vanishing edge pool, spa, outdoor fireplace, stone and brick walls, and several silver travertine entertainment spaces. The property was planted with a variety of evergreens, vines, flowering shrubs, and perennials. The new outdoor living space truly enhances the modern architecture of the home.
An Alexandria Residence
Our team was asked to create a functional and intimate porcelain tile terrace in the enclosed courtyard between the garage/apartment and house of this Old Town Alexandria townhome. Access was through a standard-size staircase leading to the apartment atop of the garage. Most materials were hand-carried in 5-gallon buckets with occasional larger items needing to come through the home. The concrete for the slab was pumped through the neighbor’s fence. This beautiful urban outdoor living space features a slate gray porcelain tile patio, a ceramic fire table, a composite grill cabinet and countertop, a Festoon lighting display, colorful plantings, and potted ornamentals.
Hydes Residence
This project took place on a large farm/estate while the client was undergoing a renovation of the main house. The goal was to create a garden that balanced the old with the new. We decided the best way to meet the client’s needs would be to design a private pocket garden off the side of the home. One goal through our design process was to make the cedar fencing blend into the landscape while also functioning as a deer fence. Another design element was to install the natural stone patio with no defined edges so that it felt as if it was blending back into the landscape. We used a fair amount of fieldstone boulders to create level areas and define drainage swales.
Great Falls Residence
The existing pool and outdoor entertainment space were 30 years old and in dire need of renovation. The client asked that we bring their backyard into “the 21st century.” Our scope of work included demolishing the oversized and dated pool and replacing it with a new pool, spa, and pebble water wall. Additionally, we constructed a new outdoor seating area with a grill station, TV, and heavy beamed pergola. The property was landscaped with a variety of ornamental plantings and highlighted with potted seasonal color. The transformation is remarkable, and the client is proud to welcome guests to his new outdoor living oasis.
Palisades Oasis
This modern project located near the Potomac River in the Palisades area of Washington, D.C. includes a pool, a waterproofed deck with cable railing, a patio space for entertaining, and a large synthetic turf play area for the family’s children. This client wanted to give their kids their own haven with lots of activities while at the same time having an elegant entertaining space to enjoy with family and friends. Our directives were to fuse an elegant design that the kids could fully enjoy.
Country Waterfront Estate
This 5,365-square-foot entertaining area on the Eastern Shore of Maryland included the demolition/renovation of an existing pool and pool house, extensive grading, and the installation of a new patio, wood deck, drainage infrastructure, sod, and landscaping. The pool house architecture and materials reflect an elegant feel, with substantial columns flanking the wide steps. The front porch adjoins the side deck and includes steps leading to the path and pool patio. A much larger ivory travertine pool patio was installed in a classic herringbone pattern with formal curves. Many existing trees were preserved and worked into the landscape plan. A blend of traditional landscape and native plants were used to provide colorful appeal. The property is a peninsula with water on three sides; the plantings were designed to define the space while emphasizing key water views and surrounding vistas.
Residence @ Shallow Creek
For this project, we demolished the existing pool and deck area and installed a new outdoor living area in the backyard. The renovation involved installation of all new hardscape features to include all walls, patios, steps, guest parking area and pool and spa copings; new open air deck/porch with outdoor fireplace, grill with bar, lighting, and outdoor audio; contemporary pool cabana with outdoor lighting, audio, and TV; all new landscaping; new fencing and outdoor playset with rubber mulch; all masonry around the pool and deck areas; and a new deck with covered space and grilling.
Shades of Blue Garden
The owner of this charming home in Chevy Chase, Maryland, was looking to transform an unattractive backyard into a more modern place to entertain family and friends. The fireplace is the focal point in the backyard, which is very enjoyable and can accommodate family and friends throughout all four seasons.
Long Residence
The clients realized their four girls were growing up quickly, and with the father’s constant international travel, they wanted to ensure time at home was time spent together having fun. We were hired to design and build a backyard pool environment that would entertain a wide age range of children while fitting everything into a small footprint. As you enter the rear yard, you are greeted with the sounds of rushing water from the large slide, waterfall, and spa spillway. Stadium seating allows room for guests while entertaining. Lush plantings surround the pool, and a steep wooded hill acts as the backdrop for this secluded pool area.
Schmidt Residence
The client was in the beginning phases of having their dream home constructed when our company was hired to ensure that the landscape was properly planned and complemented the home. The goal was to have extensive gardens that enabled them to feel like they were in the English countryside. While no pool was required, larger water features that could bring sound and movement to the landscape were requested. We were responsible for all work outside the home, including construction of walls, walkways, and patios; grading; plantings; sod installation; lighting; irrigation; driveway placement; and oversight. Extensive grading work was required, but in the end, the clients have the retirement home and garden of their dreams.
Contemporary Oasis
The client wanted to turn their outdated backyard deck space into a multi-use outdoor living area. We designed the patios to give them multiple spaces, with the bar area separate from the kitchen and dining area and the fire pit patio on a lower level. We renovated the inaccessible deck into a screened-in porch on the upper level and added steps for much-needed access. The client wanted a more modern look, so we used Techo bloc for the walls and pavers. The fire pit was built to match the walls and patios.
Johnson Residence
Our client came to us with a vision of having a new backyard where they could entertain and relax. We wanted to create a space where these two desires could blend seamlessly. This project consisted of creating a grand screened porch with trim accents, a custom spiral staircase, new patio and barbeque area, custom pergola, entry gate with stone columns, renovated fireplace, fresh plantings, wildflower garden, drainage solutions, irrigation, grading, tree removal, and landscape lighting.
A Bethesda Property
This elegant European-style home in Bethesda is nestled under the canopy of mature oak and poplar trees. Our crews installed the project in 2004, and our maintenance crews have managed the property ever since. The property includes finely crafted granite and stone paving spaces, lush lawn areas, a colorful pallet of flowering shrubs and annuals, and meticulously cared for evergreen hedges. The entire property was landscaped—from the impressive and welcoming entry to the backyard pool house and terrace. This chateau-style home and landscape is truly a “one of a kind” gem discretely located in the heart of residential Bethesda.
A Spring Hill Residence
Our client asked us to landscape their entire property in Great Falls, Virginia, so that it would complement the beautiful Tudor-style home. The scope of work included terracing the front yard hillside with stone walls and steps, constructing a detailed brick paver arrival court and a raised stone curb driveway, and installing colorful ornamental plantings. The backyard featured a loggia, outdoor kitchen, outdoor fireplace, full-size swimming pool, a water feature, and large evergreen privacy plantings surrounded by colorful ornamental plantings. This property is a truly luxurious and eye-catching home with dramatic curb appeal.
St. Michael’s Residence
This is the first of three houses for which we have overseen the landscape design development and construction. This is also the third pool that we have designed and built for this client. The project began by creating an inviting entrance to the front door. The Ipe boardwalk leads to the vase fountain that is lined on an axis with the walk. The entry consists of a geo grid, turf-covered driveway, which reduces impervious materials and allows for a simple design. In phase 2, we nestled the pool far enough from the water to meet the 100-foot setback requirement and used Ipe decking to allow us to meet impervious coverage requirements. Summer blooming perennials, shrubs, and trees were seamlessly blended with the existing plants to strengthen the garden's maturity.
River View Property
This incredible 16.5-acre estate was being renovated, including reproduction of a English colonial boxwood and rose gardens inspired by old blueprints found on the property. Our scope of work began with cleaning and restoring the property. Drainage was a critical element, as the property was now required to fulfill current regulations. Our work included the driveway renovations with granite cobble borders, aprons, and parking areas; a new stone fireplace and chimney, masonry walks, and steppingstone paths; boulder outcrops and retaining walls; enhancements to the dock and carriage house; restoration of the formal parterre garden plantings; and development of a park-like setting for the wooded areas of the property.
Bethesda Modern Residence
This modern home was built with curved architecture, with the hardscape structures, grading, and planting beds mimicking this patterned radial throughout the entire property. The arborvitae perimeter hedge screens out the community as the homeowners rest in their hammock or dine by the fountain. An enormous, unique piece of driftwood became the sculptural focal point of the garden and was repeated throughout the gardens. With minimal lawn and an abundance of perennials and flowering shrubs, this property transformed into a colorful haven to pollinators and guests alike.
Alexandria West Residence
Aptly named the Sevareid House after its former owner, this midcentury modern home in Alexandria, Virginia, hosts performances of both world-class musicians and developing local talent alike. The goal was to merge an adjacent forest with native shade-tolerant plantings into a picturesque vista that fit the homes architecture. Massive retaining walls needed to be constructed by the general contractor to provide a level surface for entertaining. Multiple outdoor living areas allowed for both a pool and firepit, a rill adorned with water-tolerant plantings, and a courtyard off the kitchen to showcase the clients sculpture.
Linnartz Residence
Our design team developed a comprehensive landscape design to include a pool with fountains, an outdoor kitchen, patio terraces, walkways, a driveway, retaining walls, drainage, lush plantings, and turf. The driveway was developed to look like a gravel driveway but was bonded together with Gravel-LocTM for a solid surface to play basketball. The pool is located off the porch, complete with a pool deck of random rectangular flagstone. The raised bond beam wall provides the structure necessary to install five spillways viewable from all back windows. Steps of flagstone lead down from the pool deck to the left side of the home, where a segmental block retaining wall was constructed to retain the pool and pool deck. The lushly planted garden is filled with multitudes of colors, textures, screenings, and perennials to create beauty in this garden during all four seasons.
A Vienna Property
We were tasked with developing the entire property, including turning the rear yard into a multifaceted outdoor living space perfect for the client’s busy entertaining schedule.
Our scope of work included a new front entry, new walkway and foundation plantings, plunge pool-spa, full-size swimming pool, pizza oven, outdoor fireplace, outdoor shower, outdoor kitchen with tandoor oven, flagstone patios, and lush colorful plantings throughout.
An easement for the neighbor’s driveway splits the backyard into two separate areas. The left side of the easement is a destination outdoor space featuring a full-size swimming pool and a pre-fabricated pool house that our in-house carpenters elevated with architectural details and finishes.
McLean Residence
The landscape of this palatial home in McLean, Virginia, was overgrown, unkept, and poorly maintained. The client asked us for a “landscape overhaul” for the entire property. Our scope of work included removing all overgrown plantings, successfully transplanting a 25-foot-tall southern magnolia, and adding a new front entry and a fountain with lush, colorful plantings. The backyard scope of work focused on enhancing the existing pool and cabana. New boxwood hedges and flowering ornamentals now define and enhance the space, while a checkerboard stone patio highlights the upper terrace.
An Arlington Residence
It’s very unusual to see a log cabin home at a busy intersection in Arlington, Virginia. Our client purchased this unique property so that he could renovate and modernize the log cabin and create a new landscape that would complement the refurbished architecture. Our scope of work included a new permeable paver driveway, a stucco garden, retaining walls, a Bluestone entry, a custom ceramic fountain, and lush colorful and privacy plantings throughout the property.
A Takoma Park Bungalow
What was once a delightful Asian-style garden had become overrun by weeds and bamboo. The new homeowners recently completed a painstakingly detailed renovation of the exterior, breathing new life into the Craftsman bungalow-style architecture. We enthusiastically shared some inspiring concepts and were awarded the task of reclaiming their property! Our scope of work included designing and installing driveway enhancements, stone retaining walls, entrance walks, fencing, deck, patios, a water feature, a hot tub, lighting, and colorful plantings throughout. The end result is a remarkable transformation that captures the storybook cottage style in the front along with a bit of Asian Zen in the back.
A Garden in Northwest Washington, DC
This beautiful home in Northwest DC boasts a welcoming front entryway and serene rear garden. The project consisted of exterior renovations surrounding the entirety of the home, including the design and installation of stone walls, walks, and patio; iron railings and fencing; landscape lighting; a water feature in the rear garden; and thoughtfully chosen landscaping throughout the property. The garden was intended to be enjoyed equally from outside and inside the home, and thus, all selections were made with the homeowner’s aesthetic in mind.
Cockeysville Residence
Our customer hired us to complete a total renovation of the existing landscape. The front portion of the project included a new front bluestone walkway accented with brick, a brick knee wall, architectural accent walls, grading, landscaping, and sod.

A Naturalized Inter-Campus Connector in Ft. Worth
This project is a 258-acre corporate campus located in Fort Worth, Texas. The new campus joins an existing set of buildings and brings together nearly 12,000 people. A key part of the customer’s vision was to unify its employees and create more collaborative, nimble teams. Our piece of that—known as The Mobility Project—was an 8.3-mile path designed to connect people throughout the campus while enhancing their ability to join together and collaborate with unique spaces along the way. Work pods, shade structures, and seating areas were added along these paths, and the landscape installation in and around these paths aesthetically unified the project.
