His workers were very professional and did a tremendous job from start to finsh and were very thorough to include the cleanup after installation was completed. > > I highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — kmthomps86, April 2022** > Landed LLC did a phenomenal job completely renovating our patio space and front yard landscaping. From the design process through the execution of the project, Drew and his team were a pleasure to work with. He listened to all of our requirements and problems with the previous patio, and gave helpful solutions to ensure our new patio was both functional and very stylish. The entire team was very nice and responsive. The finished product is better than we could have ever imagined. Thank you Drew and the entire Landed team! **★★★★★ — Ange Knutson, April 2021** > We are thrilled to be able to provide an outstanding recommendation/review for Landed. After interviewing 3 other companies to complete a total overhaul for landscaping and hardscaping our front and back yards, we quickly realized our decision to sign with Landed was the right one for us. Their knowledge expertise, professionalism and ability to listen were so important to us. > Our project manager Drew Newton met several times with us to design the areas....each time we met, his main focus was to make sure WE felt he was meeting OUR goals with his design! Of course we were open and appreciative of his expert opinion also. > Once the work began, his crew worked steadily and efficiently . Both Drew and the owner Aaron shared oversite of the crew and project. The crew was excellent! They were always on time, cleaned up at the end of each day and willingly reworked things if changes needed to be made. We look forward to Spring blooming and love the fact that with an irrigation system, our plantings are guaranteed for 2 years . Overall, we would recommend Landed without reservation...... you may pay more than other companies but you get what you pay for and it was well worth every penny!!! **★★★★★ — HU-330339665, Feb. 2021** > We’ve hired Aaron and his teams for two projects in the past four years. Both have turned out great and the experience working with his crews was always top notch. Project designers were accommodating to our budget and requests. If managers were unavailable, they would always return calls or emails within a few hours. Workers were very friendly and always accommodating to our kids’ curiosity. Final product looked great and our older project has weathered extremely well. Great durability! > > I would recommend Landed and will definitely use them in the future. **★★★★★ — Sage Eastman, Sept. 2020** > The team at Landed was fantastic from start to finish. We have never been so quick to refer a company’s services — or excited to use them for follow up projects! From the creative designs and horticultural knowledge OD Dalton presented to us to the keen attention to detail and quality installations — they did and nailed it all! Always available for any questions or alterations, and always on the scene while the work was being done. A top notch choice we would make over and over again (and have)! **★ — Alexandra Scannell, Aug. 2020** > We did a big landscaping project with Landed and then continued with their maintenance package for almost 2 years. > > I should have left earlier. Overpromise and underdeliver. Good communication but very poor implementation. TOO MANY MISTAKES! > > My newly planted shrubs for privacy have been chopped twice drastically 20’ each time by ‘accident’ within the first few months of planting. I purchased the tallest skip laurels available so you can imagine my frustration as they kept getting SHORTER rather than taller. > Only apology was offered and ‘I don’t understand why my crew did this. I have told them not too trim anything on your property unless asked’... > > Prior to that my artificial turf was melted in two spots. It took some effort for them to accept the responsibility and 4 more months to replace a patch that added an extra seem in my lawn. > > Other things kept going wrong too. I have hired this company based on their branding and good ‘talking/persuasive’ skills of the manager. **★★★★★ — HU-663721687, Aug. 2020** > I knew I wanted to build a patio and pergola, but landscape designer OD Dalton and the Landed crew took it to the next level with the hardscape design and installation. To top it off, OD redesigned and replanted the entire backyard; his creativity, attention to detail, and horticultural knowledge is unsurpassed. I can't wait to start on the front yard. **★★★★★ — Elaine Arkin, July 2020** > Great experience with OD Dalton at Landed. Very pleased with design, which is suited to our 100+ house. (He also designed a yard for a friend who has a new very modern house.) OD was very knowledgeable about about horticulture in general and about each selection he recommended, and also flexible to to address changes we suggested. The design met the criteria we provided, addressed "challenges" in our yard, including changes in elevation and compatibility with existing design. OD and staff worked quickly; everything was done with care, and attention to details including clean up. Highly recommend. **★★★★★ — Shaun Murphy, May 2020** > My wife and I were looking to do an overhaul of our existing landscaping and hardscaping. We also wanted to add immediate privacy in our back yard as we recently had two large trees removed. After speaking with a few other landscaping companies, it was clear Landed was the best fit. Drew was great to work with from the start. His experience and education showed immediately as we walked the property and he came up with ideas. Then we were impressed with the extensive landscape design and plan that he came up with so we could visualize the transformation. He clearly knows his stuff when it comes to all the different types of trees, plants, and flowers. They also helped us with repairing permeable pavers that we had installed years ago. They may not have been the least expensive choice, but I believe that you get what you pay for. Drew was also very patient with me when it came to making decisions to accomplish our goals. In the end, it showed that he just wanted us to be happy with the results. **★★★★★ — Rose Mary ROmano, Oct. 2019** > I founded Landed on Houzz and I am so glad I did. The team was great from start to finish. We worked together on the plan until we were satisfied with the design, landscaping and the budget. We have a modern house and the Landed team made sure that the design matched the aesthetic of the house. The staff that put it all together were very professional and the supervisors were there to make sure that the work was done according to plan. > We are so pleased with the results. **★★★★★ — D Funk, Oct. 2019** > I contacted Landed to see about the possibility of building a retaining wall in front of our home. They were wonderful to work with! They came within two days to give us an estimate, and were able to complete our job in a timely manner (sooner than anticipated!!). The quality of the work was superb, the finished product was beautiful, and we've received numerous compliments on the wall. Aaron and company have a great crew; I'd hire them again anytime! **★★★★★ — Garth Van Meter, Sept. 2019** > We used Landed for a pretty extensive re-imagining of our front and back yards of our new house. The previous owners had gone for a more “natural” look, and we were looking for something cleaner and less cluttered. We also needed our deck rebuilt. All steps of the process, from the design, to the communication, to the execution were above expectations. We are so pleased with the curb appeal and the newly usable space in the back yard, as well as just looking at our yard from the deck or even from the windows. We knew there was a lot of potential when we first looked at the place, but Landed helped make it better than we’d hoped. ## Selected projects - [Outdoor Fireplace, Kitchen and Pool](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/outdoor-fireplace-kitchen-and-pool-pj-vj~6652784) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 18 - [Outdoor Living & Dining Room with Removable Shades](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/outdoor-living-and-dining-room-with-removable-shades-pj-vj~6449406) - Location: McLean, VA - Photos: 32 - Description: Outdoor structure complete with fireplace, patio and dining area.
