Japanese garden

:: OUR SERVICES ::

DESIGN :: We work closely with you, gathering as much of your feedback as possible to create the landscape of your dreams. This is your yard, not ours, so we strive to recreate exactly what you envision, while incorporating our expert advice to guide the process. You choose the style: Japanese, woodland, traditional, or your own approach. We provide everything you need so you can sit back and leave the hard work to us.

MAINTENANCE :: The key to an enduring landscape is maintenance. If a tree can be maintained and thrive in a pot for 500 years as in Japanese or Chinese Bonsai, then we can maintain your yard for a lifetime. To maintain trees and shrubs in the correct proportion for you home, pruning is critical. Correct Pruning is time consuming. Expect to pay more for quality pruning, but the end results will be worth decades of beauty.

WATER MANAGEMENT :: A remarkably a large part of landscaping is correcting grading and drainage problems. Homes that were built from the 1930s-1960s typically do not have functioning drainage systems around the foundations. Five Season’s is well equipped to correct these problems, whether they are outside or inside the home.

RAIN GARDENS :: Montgomery County, MD is now offering rebates of up to $1,200 for the installation of rain gardens or conservation landscaping. We can incorporate these elements into your landscape design to benefit the environment while saving you money.

HARDSCAPING :: Beautifully-integrated hardscaping is the perfect complement to an upgraded landscape. We do it all: walls both decorative and supportive, pathways, patios, ponds, decks. On staff are some of the best masons in the Washington metropolitan area. All our work is guaranteed.

CONSULTING :: With a background in art and horticulture, Mr. Silverman consults on all levels of design and landscaping. Whether you just need some ideas that you can implement yourself or are thinking of redesigning your entire yard, a consultation with Mr. Silverman is always worthwhile. His particular expertise is in Japanese design, inside and out, and his Japanese-style home was featured in the Washington Post Home section.
