Residential landscape services for homes across Loudoun County and northern Virginia.Design, hardscaping, planting, and lawncare, handled by one team.

Residential landscape services

Peter Howe Design works on residential properties across Loudoun, Clarke, and Frederick counties, from smaller suburban yards through to larger rural estates. We design and build landscapes that suit the way the household uses the property, and we stay on for the lawncare and the seasonal maintenance once the installation is complete.

Our design background runs deep, with horticultural work in this region going back to 1981. The design, the hardscaping, the irrigation, and the planting are handled by the same team, which keeps the intent of the plan intact through every step of the project. Many of our clients have stayed with us across multiple seasons and multiple phases of work on the same property.

Residential landscape design

We design landscape plans for single-family homes, country properties, and residential estates. The design accounts for how the family uses the property, the conditions of the site, and the way the landscape will mature over the coming years.

Hardscaping for homes

We design and install brick patios, paver terraces, stone walls, walkways, and steps. Each element is sized and detailed so the proportions, the materials, and the drainage all align with the rest of the landscape.

Water features and pool surroundings

We design and build waterfalls, ponds, and pool surroundings as part of the unified outdoor plan. The water feature is integrated with the planting and the hardscape, so it reads as part of the landscape rather than as an addition placed on top.

Planting plans and greenscape

We produce planting plans that account for the soil, the light, the mature size of each plant, and the seasonal interest. We choose plants that suit the conditions of the property, which keeps the maintenance reasonable and the garden healthy over the long term.

Irrigation design for homes

We design residential irrigation systems around the planting plan, the topography of the lot, and the way the household intends to look after the yard. The result is coverage that supports the plants and the lawn rather than coverage that fights them.

Ongoing lawncare and maintenance

We provide dependable mowing, pruning, bed care, irrigation checks, and seasonal resets for residential clients across northern Virginia. Continuing with the same team that designed and built the landscape keeps the original intent of the plan intact.

A landscape that fits the home, the family, and the land it sits on

A residential landscape works best when the design, the hardscape, the planting, and the irrigation are treated as one connected project rather than as separate items. We start by walking the property with you, listening to how you intend to use the yard, and assessing what the site can realistically support over time.

From there, we develop a plan that suits the household and the land. The same team carries the project from the initial drawings through the installation and into the ongoing care, which keeps the original intent of the design intact season after season.

Residential landscape questions

What residential landscape services do you provide in Loudoun County?

We provide a connected set of residential services across northern Virginia, and these include landscape design, planting plans, hardscaping such as patios, walls, and walkways, water features, irrigation design, and ongoing lawncare and maintenance. The same team handles the design and the installation, which keeps the intent of the plan intact through every phase of the work.

Do you work on smaller suburban yards as well as large rural properties?

Yes. We design and care for landscapes on small and mid-sized residential lots, on suburban properties, and on larger rural estates throughout Loudoun, Clarke, and Frederick counties. The scope of the design changes with the property, but the same standards for materials, planting, and craftsmanship apply at every size.

Can you work in phases over several seasons?

Yes. Many residential projects are best handled in phases, particularly on larger properties or when the budget needs to be spread across more than one season. We structure the plan so that each phase delivers a complete, finished result on its own, and the next phase can be added later without disrupting the work that came before.

How does the design coordinate with hardscaping, irrigation, and planting?

We treat the design, the hardscaping, the irrigation, and the planting as one connected system rather than as separate pieces handed between different crews. The drawings show how each element fits with the others, and the same team carries the project from the first site visit through the final planting. The result is a landscape where the parts read as one design.

Do you provide ongoing lawncare and maintenance after the installation is complete?

Yes. Many of our residential clients keep us on for seasonal lawncare, pruning, irrigation checks, and bed maintenance after the installation is complete. Continuing the work with the same team that designed and installed the landscape protects the original intent of the plan and keeps the property looking well-cared-for through the seasons.
