Landscaping designed and built for Suffolk's unique coastal conditions.
Suffolk is the largest city in Virginia by land area, stretching over 400 square miles from the downtown Olde Towne historic district to rural farmland bordering the Great Dismal Swamp. That range means every property has different soil, drainage, and growing conditions. We do not use generic landscape plans. Every project starts with an on-site assessment of your specific lot, soil conditions, grade, and water patterns so the finished result actually performs in your environment.
Our crew builds landscapes that handle what Hampton Roads throws at them. That means proper base preparation for hardscaping on clay soils, drainage systems sized for the volume of water Suffolk properties deal with, and plant selections proven to thrive in Zone 8A humidity and heat. We have seen too many landscape jobs fail because the installer did not account for local conditions. That does not happen on our projects.

While Suffolk is our home base, we provide full landscaping services throughout the Hampton Roads region. Our team understands the subtle differences in soil conditions, drainage patterns, and municipal requirements across each city in the area. Whether your property sits on the sandy soils near the coast or the heavier clay found further inland, we design and install landscapes matched to your specific location.

Landscaping solutions can be complex, and we’re here to provide answers to common questions. Here are some frequently asked questions from our clients.
Most landscaping projects in Suffolk take between one and three weeks depending on scope. Simple lawn renovations or planting jobs can wrap up in a few days, while full landscape design builds involving hardscaping, grading, and drainage may run three weeks or more. We always walk through a detailed timeline during your consultation so there are no surprises once crews are on site.
The cost depends on the size of your property and the services involved. Basic lawn care and maintenance plans start at a few hundred dollars per month, while full landscape design and installation projects in Suffolk typically range from several thousand to tens of thousands depending on materials, grading needs, and drainage requirements. We provide detailed written estimates after an on-site evaluation so you know exactly what to expect.
Yes. Suffolk sits in USDA Zone 8A with heavy humidity, salt exposure near tidal waterways, and clay-to-sandy soil transitions across the city. We select plants, materials, and drainage solutions specifically suited to these conditions so your landscape holds up year after year without constant repairs or replacements.
Spring and fall are the strongest planting seasons in Hampton Roads because temperatures are moderate and rainfall is consistent. However, hardscaping, grading, and drainage work can be done almost year-round in Suffolk thanks to our mild winters. We schedule projects based on the specific services involved to give you the best long-term results.
We handle everything from landscape design, hardscaping, and outdoor living spaces to drainage solutions, retaining walls, lawn care, sod installation, landscape lighting, planting services, and grading. Whether you need a complete property transformation or a single focused project, our team manages it start to finish.
Absolutely. We work throughout Suffolk and the surrounding Hampton Roads communities including Chesapeake, Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Portsmouth, and Newport News.

From the initial design consultation to the final walkthrough, everything was professional and on schedule. They understood exactly what our property needed and delivered a landscape that fits the neighborhood perfectly.

We had three other companies look at our lot and none of them addressed the water problems. This team solved the drainage first, then built the landscape around it. That is the right way to do it and the results speak for themselves.
