Local landscaping for Gaithersburg, MD
Gaithersburg is the largest city in Montgomery County and the most varied — Kentlands and Lakelands are tight-knit New Urbanist communities with strict design standards, Quince Orchard and Saybrooke are big-lot suburbs from the 80s and 90s, and Old Town has Victorian homes that need a different planting palette than anything else on the route. We work in all of it. The Kentlands Architectural Committee won’t approve a planting plan that doesn’t match the master code; Washingtonian Woods homeowners want the mature canopy preserved through every project; and the townhomes in Lakelands have alley-facing yards most landscapers don’t know how to handle. We work with the design standards instead of around them.

What makes Gaithersburg different
Kentlands & Lakelands design standards
Both communities follow strict architectural codes covering plant species, lawn type, even mulch color. Our designs are written to pass committee review on the first submission.
Older Quince Orchard canopy
Quince Orchard, Saybrooke, and Washingtonian Woods have 30–40 year old shade trees that need ISA-certified pruning, not a homeowner with a chainsaw. We climb and crown-thin so the storms don’t.
Townhome and alley-facing yards
Lakelands and Kentlands townhomes have tiny front yards and back patios that abut a service alley. We do precision-scale landscape work: container plantings, narrow-bed edging, screening for the alley side.
Old Town Gaithersburg historic plantings
Victorian-era homes off Frederick Avenue need period-appropriate boxwood, hydrangeas, and bulb beds — not the same palette we’d use in Washingtonian Woods.

Gaithersburg FAQ
QDo you submit landscape plans to the Kentlands and Lakelands architectural committees?
Yes. We prepare drawings to the committee’s specifications, list plant species against the approved master list, and submit for review before any installation. Most submissions pass on the first review.
QCan you screen an alley-facing townhome yard in Kentlands?
Yes. We install evergreen hedges, slim trellised plantings, or container compositions that work in the narrow space. Everything we install is on the Kentlands plant code.
QDo you serve Old Town Gaithersburg differently than newer developments?
Yes. Old Town’s Victorian and craftsman homes need period-appropriate plantings — boxwood, hydrangeas, irises, peonies. We design to the era, not to the catalog.
