Services
Johnson's Landscaping Service traces its origins to the Johnson's Flower and Garden Centers of Washington, D.C. and suburban Maryland, first founded in 1933 by Raymond Johnson, Sr. Raymond Johnson's youngest son, Jim, opened Johnson's Landscaping Service in 1960. Since that time, Johnson's Landscaping has provided quality service to the communities of Northwest D.C., Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Kensington, Silver Spring, Rockville, Potomac, and Olney.
Johnson's Landscaping offers four distinct services to our customers. Skilled, veteran, and professional artisans make up our Masonry Division. In addition, you will find our Landscape Division implements beautifully designed gardens and water features. If decks, gazebos, and evening living spaces are your desire, our Carpentry and Lighting Division can create beautiful structures and sightlines to match and enhance your landscape.
Johnson's Landscaping relies on repeat business. If we didn't wow our clients with our landscape design, we couldn't keep going for generations. Johnson's Landscape does an excellent job maintaining my yard and planting quality plants when asked. I am generally very happy with their services. We love Johnson's Landscapers!

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

It was a pleasure to work with Matt Johnson. He communicates on a professional and interpersonal level. I trust his expertise.
Nestor and Patricio were uniquely dedicated designers who showed pride in their work. Beautiful results!

Reached out to Johnson Landscaping for an estimate. Joe was responsive in setting an appointment and showing up on time. He went over different options with me and stated he would provide a quote. This is where everything fell apart. I didn't and have not received a quote. It has been over 5 weeks. What I thought and was hoping to be a good experience never got off the ground. The irony is I tried following up a couple of times with Joe at Johnson's landscaping and my calls where sent to voicemail. DONT waste your time with Johnson's Landscaping and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don

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

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.

Work is good; customer service, not so much. I just signed the last check on a project for which I made a down payment at the beginning of April. It's been painful-designer wasn't listening, billing closed us out before the project was done and hounded us, and then the last part didn't get going without many, many calls and lowered expectations. But ohmigosh I absolutely love my retaining wall, and their masonry folks are awesome. But really: There are other companies who get the back end right.

Don't waste your time unless you need big jobs done. I reached out to this company to provide us an estimate for some stonework and without seeing the property and talking to me for less than 90 seconds I was told that they don't work for jobs less than $5,000 and that my job "sounded" like a couple thousand. Now we could spend $5,000 but not with a company that's not even willing to come take a look without me promising to spend $5,000. What's worse is he didn't offer an alternative or any advice on who might do these types of jobs. Terrible business model and

We were exceeding pleased with the work that Johnson's performed for us - a new driveway, walkway, garden wall and filling in an unused in ground pool. We also worked with Joe Stark he and the entire work staff were extremely professional, attentive to our ideas and a source of excellent advice. We will certainly use them for a variety of other lawn issues that we have in mind.

Very expensive. They wouldn't agree to do a project for which they gave me an estimate, because the project would only take 3 hours and their workers only do projects lasting the full work day. They wanted me to go with some of the other projects they estimated and cost a lot more. Never heard of a company turning down money.

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
