We have worked with Johnson's landscaping on several projects now and each time has been a great experience. We started with the front and side yard. And just this month we asked them to do the backyard so that we can have a nice setting for our daughter's small outdoor wedding.
After years of not knowing what to do with some difficult spaces because of deer, erosion, and a lot of shade, we found Johnson's. They came up with a beautiful design, using deer resistant plants, creative landscaping, and even solved our drainage and erosion problems. We could not be happier with the results. We are

Great company - honest and reliable crew. I selected this company after meeting with more than a dozen contractors to help us solve the drainage problem in our backyard. Charlie provided a competitive bid and based on his honesty and frank observations about our water problem, we selected Johnson's Landscaping. Today, Charlie came out to inspect our external sump pumps his crew installed this spring. This is the kind of personal service Charlie provides. By the way, we've not had a drop of water enter our basement since Charlie installed the sump pumps.

Had our first visit today and I'm blown away. Joe was incredibly communicative about the process and schedule, the crew introduced themselves to us upon arrival, and they've made our lawn look immensely better. Thank you, Johnson's team!

In winter 2017 Johnson landscape overhauled our front and backyard. Adding retaining wall new plantings as well as sprinklers, French drains and lighting. It’s so much more useable and beautiful. They maintain our lawn now and we are pleased with their staff. They are thorough and professional.

This is the second major project we’ve hired Johnson’s to complete on our property. The designer listened to our concerns and developed a plan that fit our needs. The installation of our new landscaping was done professionally. The crew was great and left our yard in perfect condition. We have gotten so many compliments from our neighbors on the beautiful work done by Johnson’s. We can’t wait to see it in full bloom in Spring!

After our sidewalk got destroyed from replacing a sewer main drain that travelled underneath it, we hired Johnson's Landscaping to replace it along with 2 sets of steps and they resurfaced a porch. Johnson's was competitive in pricing and has a great reputation in the neighborhood. They did not disappoint. Jamie Newell provided excellent advice on a design and stone selection and oversaw the project to its completion, the crew was fantastic to work with - they really seemed to care about the project and took pride in doing a good job. I was particularly impressed that some of the crew members worked

Matt and his team renovated our DC rowhouse. Not only was the product absolutely stunning, the process was so easy! They turned a dirty concrete jagged slab into a mini wonderland for our kids. We have dealt with many contractors before and this was by far the simplest process, from the planning to the execution, everything was on time (Shocking in the contractor world!) and the product was amazing. Renovating a rowhouse in DC is not uncomplicated, they had to customize the beautiful fence around trees existing on our property lines. The result is our own mini oasis in the city! We are so happy

We could not be more pleased with the projects we've had Johnson's complete for us! We had a major drainage problem in our yard of our newly constructed home and Charlie and his team proposed a solution that looks great and is functional. We were so impressed, we asked them to complete another grading project on a different part of our yard. Charlie noticed a few other things that the original landscaping company did incorrectly and fixed those as well. We are so impressed with the quality of work and the attention to detail Charlie and his team give to their work. We highly recommend

I reached out with to solicit a quote on a driveway project. The owner (I assume) took the call and seemed nice enough in his response but I never heard back from the landscape planner as promised during the initial call. When I called to follow up, the owner did get the landscape planner to call me quickly. The planner asked me some questions and promised me a quote within a week. It's more than two weeks later and I never heard back or got the quote. Seems to be some customer service issues.

I have been working with Johnson's Landscaping Services for many years and I could not be happier. Jamie Newell is my designer and he is fantastic. Jamie is creative, flexible and provides great customer service. I was fairly clueless about how to design a garden and he helped me every step of the way. My expectations were exceeded and my garden and front yard received endless compliments. When I sold my house, leaving my beautiful yard was the thing that was the hardest. I can't wait to get started on my new project with Johnson's at my new home!

I worked with Jamie Newell as the designer. He made constructive suggestions to my requirements. I could not have been happier with the deign process and the work, just the opposite of your prior reviewer. The work was postponed because of the rain and I had to be away when the actual work was done, but it surpassed my expectations. It was done exactly as planned, plus new grass seeded in worn and damaged areas, everything trimmed up beautifully. They even finished up a small project that a prior landscaper had left undone. They were the most expensive bid, but I wouldn't look elsewhere for

The best thing about Johnson's Landscaping is that they will listen carefully to what you want to accomplish; they will deliver detailed project plans for the hard-scaping, landscaping, and plantings; and they're willing to cycle through multiple iterations of the plan till it's exactly what you want. In our case when we said, "More hard-scaping, less landscaping." They took us very seriously.
In other words, things go very smoothly right up until the work begins, but here's where you need to make sure that you're fully engaged. Because Johnson's crews
