“GLD not only completely designed my front and back yard, they maintain it on a regular basis. They respond quickly when I contact them. They go above and beyond. I would recommend GLD to anyone that wants the WOW yard. I want to say to the last person that sent in a review and complained: You are an idiot. I have known the owner of this company for years and he has ALWAYS done a fantastic job. He explains what will work and what will not. I know he explained things to you. Your problem is you did not ask the real boss (your wife) before you said to go ahead with the planting. When she did not like it you made up some crap to save face with her or we know who wears the pants. Bottomline it was YOUR FAULT and NOT this company. So to anyone that read his comment please disregard as he has no class or commonsense.”

“I have known Noemi for many years, and she always presents herself in a professional and caring manner with everyone she meets. Her knowledge, creativity and experience in landscape designs and installations is impressive, and she is exceptional at listening to her clients to understand what they want and then providing them with results that exceed their expectations. I would recommend her to anyone who takes their landscaping seriously, and who desires to have an award-winning landscape they can proudly showcase in their own yard!”

“Groff Landscape Design is truly one of the premier landscape and hardscape companies in the Northern Virginia Area. Owner, Robert Groff provides a quality and craftsmanship to his work that is unparalleled.

Conscious Environments Inc.
Patio Designers
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 6, 2014
“Tungsten Royce has worked with Conscious Environments on several projects in the Orange County area. Josh and his crew posses a wide range of skill sets that allow them to execute beautiful projects, on time, with amazing detail. Josh's design skills are exceptional; every project I have seen is stunning. His ability to move between styles proves his dedication to his craft. He does not do the same thing over and over again like so many designers do. All of his work is unique and well thought. I would like point out the professionalism of his crew as well. The guys are "on it". They are engaged, aware and have always had a great attitude when faced with less than exciting situations. Great Company!”
Jay Sifford Garden Design
Patio Designers
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 28, 2013
“Jay did an incredible job in my yard. I have a lot of space and for a few years kept "trying" out a bunch of different plants. He asked me what I liked and didn't like. He came in looked at the space , measured and gave me his vision of the space and told me the plants he was recommending. I honestly feel he has a gift. I have been interested in gardening for years and know plants fairly well but Jay's vision was so much more than I ever imagined. He thought of colors, movement , space and seasons. Something no other garden designer has ever done ! The yard turned out beautifully ! I am excitedly awaiting the spring show of movement ,design , color and beauty. I have 2 more small areas I want him to do ... areas I have not liked since I moved in here and did them 6yrs ago. CAN"T WAIT to see what he will do !”

Landscape Architect or Designer FAQs
The duration of a patio design project can vary widely depending on the scale and complexity of the project, weather conditions, and the availability of materials and labor. Smaller projects might take a few weeks, while larger, more intricate designs can take several months. A reputable patio designer will provide you with a projected timeline upfront and keep you informed of any changes.
Patio designers stay abreast of the latest materials and design trends through continual education, industry publications, and networking. They consider factors such as durability, maintenance, local climate, and your personal style to recommend the best materials for your project. Sustainability, outdoor living, and seamless indoor-outdoor transitions are currently popular trends in patio design.
Before meeting with a patio designer, homeowners should gather inspiration photos, establish a budget, and consider how they intend to use the space (e.g., entertaining, relaxation, dining). Itʼs also helpful to identify any specific features you desire, like a fire pit or outdoor kitchen. Clear communication of your needs and preferences helps ensure the success of your project.
Patio designers are skilled in navigating challenges such as spatial constraints, zoning restrictions, and budget limitations. They leverage creative solutions and strategic planning to overcome obstacles, ensuring the project stays on track. Open communication between the homeowner and designer is critical for addressing issues promptly as they arise.
Outdoor lighting not only enhances the ambiance of a patio but also ensures safety and functionality after dark. Designers recommend incorporating a mix of task, ambient, and accent lighting. Solar-powered and LED lights are popular for their efficiency and sustainability. Proper placement and consideration of light intensity are crucial to avoid glare and create a welcoming atmosphere.
Sustainability in patio design is achieved through the selection of eco-friendly materials, native plants that require less water, and the incorporation of green technologies like rainwater harvesting systems. Designers also consider the orientation of the patio to maximize natural light and warmth while minimizing exposure to harsh elements. This approach not only benefits the environment but can also lead to long-term cost savings for homeowners.
