We are very pleased! The water is moved away from our house beautifully. No more puddling in the drive, no water leaking into the basement. The sump pump hardly operates, even with a lot of rain. In addition the regraded driveway with fresh gravel looks so good now. The landscaping really improved the look of our property. **Comment from The Landscape Design Center:** > Thank you SO much! Glad to hear everything is working as planned. We look forward to your next project! **★★★★★ — Mark Schlegel, June 2020** > We had the Landscape Design Center install an irrigation system from our roof gutters under the back yard, and then regrade our side walkway and add a flagstone walkway. They did a great job. One of the ways they really stood out was in diagnosing our water issues, and explaining where excess water was running out of our previous system. Their team was very professional and spent a lot of care situating the flagstones and organizing plants around them. They also provided the most competitive bid we received. I would definitely use them again for future landscape work. **Comment from The Landscape Design Center:** > Mr. Schlegel, thank you so much for this review. It was great to watch your project unfold. So glad everything is working as it should! **★★★★★ — HU-143858515, June 2020** > We had an in-ground pool installed over the winter and contracted with Ana at Landscape Design Center to restore both our front and back yards from being the construction sites that they were. This included extending our existing brick patio down to the new pool deck, adding underground drainage pipes from the patio, creating swales to accommodate yard runoff, planting bushes and plants and installing sod in both our back and front yards. Ana and her crews were very easy to work with. They left the job site cleaned up each day, which we really appreciated. Their work ethics were second to none. To sum it up, they did a fabulous job and we would gladly recommend them to anyone wanting to have any type of landscaping or the above mentioned work done. We have gotten many compliments on our yards from our neighbors. **Comment from The Landscape Design Center:** > It was such a pleasure working with you both. I'm very happy to hear that you all are enjoying the new landscape! **★★★★★ — Jean Cox, June 2020** > Ana and her landscape team did a great job . . . really transformed our property! Ana devoted much time and energy formulating a design for the property in front of our house, taking into consideration the large mature trees, ground cover and varying amounts of shade and sun (as well as my plant and shrub preferences). She educated us a lot on different species of plants and trees. The crew worked diligently and cleaned up meticulously at the end of each day. It was impressive the amount they completed each day. We have more work to be done in the future and Landscape Design Center will our go to landscaper!! **Comment from The Landscape Design Center:** > Jean, It is always a pleasure working with you. So great to see a client really take pride in their property once we have left. I can't wait to help you with your backyard! **★★★★★ — Jennifer Ruddle-Frey, March 2020** > Excellent, experienced, local company. I have a very large and challenging yard. After years of contracting with another company I decided I needed to change because I was just unsatisfied with the work. Ana came out and personally walked my property. She identified problem areas and potential projects for later down the road. She told me what was necessary and also what was not. Ana is extremely knowledgeable in horticulture as well as professional and attentive to detail. I truly have never had a harder working and professional company work on our property than her crew. My yard is beautifully cleaned and manicured for the spring season. The work was done quickly and efficiently and the prices were more then reasonable. I cannot recommend this company highly enough. True quality and dedicated customer service! **Comment from The Landscape Design Center:** > Jen it was so great working with you! Thank you for the review. **★★★★★ — Jan Rolko, March 2019** > Ana came to my daughter's house to look at the backyard because there was a drainage issue. She was very professional and knew her stuff. She was also very personable and approachable. We think she was great! She gave us a solution and a quote and once we decide to go ahead with the project, Ana will be called. **Comment from The Landscape Design Center:** > Jan, thank you again for this review. Very kind of you! **★★★★★ — Susan Borg, Oct. 2018** > Ana designed a drainage solution for the side of my house and replaced crumbling retaining walls. The crew was professional, did great work, and left everything clean and neat. Ana was great to work with on offering alternatives, was sensitive about budget, and came up with a beautiful and functional design. Everything looks great. I would hire again without hesitation. **Comment from The Landscape Design Center:** > Susan, Glad we could help with this project and the most recent plant renovation. I can't wait to see the garden when things flush out this spring! **★★★★★ — Angela Mezzomo, Oct. 2018** > Fantastic company! This was the third time we used Landscape Design Center. Ana and her crew are consistently, incredibly professional. They treated our home with care and respect; the crew even watched out for the neighbor's cats who frequent our yard. When we ran into a problem with another contractor, Ana helped us find a replacement. When I discussed budge with Ana, she listened to me and came up with ideas that kept us on budget while still getting the job done. The care and quality of their work is remarkable. I plan to use them again for a few more projects I have in mind. **Comment from The Landscape Design Center:** > Angela, you are too kind! We always love working with you. I hope all is well with you! **★★★★★ — Taylor Beach, June 2018** > Very pleased with every aspect of my experience with LDC! We had our lawn graded, pathway and plants removed/trimmed, and sod installed. They communicated quickly, responded to all of my requests, and their work was beautiful. Workers were always friendly, and someone came out after the job was complete to ensure everything was completed to our satisfaction. Would recommend to anyone! **Comment from The Landscape Design Center:** > Ms. Beach, thank you so much for your review. We are so glad we could help you renovate your backyard. **★★★★★ — Martha Van Woerkom, Dec. 2017** > I initially contacted Ana to help me alleviate a drainage issue on the side of my home. She was very knowledgeable about drainage and did a great job figuring out what was happening and the best way to fix it. Not only did she and her crew fix the problem, they made it aesthetically pleasing with a stone riverbed and steps. I appreciated her flexibility and willingness to make changes in order to meet my needs and stay within my budget. Her crew was very friendly and professional! > They also did Christmas and landscape lighting! **Comment from The Landscape Design Center:** > Mrs. Van Woerkom, > Thank you so much. We are glad you are happy with the work! We look forward to working with you in the future! **★★★★★ — Julia Naum, March 2017** > They did a fantastic job on our walkway and front porch. We got so many compliments from the neighbors. They were extremely patient and didn't pressure us in anyway. The workmanship and overall experience was outstanding. **Comment from The Landscape Design Center:** > Mrs. Naum, > Thank you so much for this review. I'm glad you both were happy with everything. You were great to work with and the walkway and stoop turned out beautiful! **★★★★★ — Sharon Lawson, Dec. 2016** > The Landscape Design Center replaced our front walkway, back patio, and landscaped the area adjacent to the back patio. We are absolutely thrilled with all of the work. Ana worked closely with us to create a design that accounted for all aspects of the job including our concerns about water incursion into our basement. The work crew did a meticulous and careful installation of the design and paid attention to the smallest details. I know they went above and beyond when they felt it was necessary to do the job right. There was a lot of artistry involved in implementing the design since we chose irregular flagstone and they succeeded exceptionally well. We were also pleased with the design and choice of plantings used in the landscaping. We highly recommend the Landscape Design Center. **Comment from The Landscape Design Center:** > Mrs. Lawson, > Thank you so much for this review!! I'm glad you were happy with the end product. It was great working with you both and I look forward to doing it again. ## Selected projects - [Backyard Oasis](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/backyard-oasis-pj-vj~7315795) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 17 - [Severna Park Waterfront](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/severna-park-waterfront-pj-vj~2717117) - Location: Severna Park, MD - Photos: 19 - Description: We assisted the client in handling a major erosion and drainage problem on his waterfront slope.

They don't melt or change form. Some do get ash on them over time, so you just have to watch out for that. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-08-14.*
