North Fairfax County's Dedicated Landscape Contractors | Best of Houzz

A family-run business for more than 35 years, Terra Landscape and Design is dedicated to quality residential and commercial landscaping with an emphasis on ethical, high-quality work. The roots of Terra Landscape and Design began in 1975 when four brothers needed money to take out girls in high school. Mike, Ron, Kevin and Russell started the Allan Brothers Four Seasons, a raggedy lawn-maintenance business with the motto, “You grow it, we mow it.” It wasn’t a business, it was a family—and bolstered by friends and Mike's good looks, it soon grew into a self-sustainable landscaping company with 2 full crews of friends and a few real employees. There were many adventures over the years. Some of the brothers went to college, some of them didn’t go to college—and they all got married to good wives who one-by-one convinced three of them to get out of the landscaping business. The remaining brother, Russell Allan, changed the name of the business to Terra Landscape and Design, after his wife, so she wouldn’t try to nudge him to follow suit. He would go on to pass his love of landscaping to his son Jared who later joined him in the family business.

I have a small yard/garden area but need help in keeping it looking good. I use Terra Landscape at least twice a year. They are dependable and do a very good job. They help me be proud of my yard/garden.

Terra was awesome -- really efficient and we love the work they did in our yard, replacing a portion of our lawn with natives. We've also loved working with Jared to make a master plan for the yard and look forward to implementing the rest of the plan with Terra in the future.

Terra was recommended to us by Native Plants Landscape Design Corp. From the moment Jared came by to see the yard, the interactions were pleasant, timely, and cooperative. We had several special requests for how we wanted the brick patios laid out, and Jared took note of it all. He selected Rigo to lead the brick layers, and they did a wonderful job. Terra built a section of fence with a gate and gabage can blind, and they also planted over a hundred plants. I appreciate the care they took, the responsiveness to any questions or concerns, and their skill. I can't recommend Terra Landscape & Design highly enough. Do yourself a favor and hire this business.

Terra Landscape did a major landscaping project for us that completely transformed our sloped jungle of a yard into a useable and safe yard. Over 3 weeks they removed lots of stumps and roots and shrubs and regraded the entire yard, put in new sod and built a gorgeous fence - we not have a huge area for our kids to run around on. They were very professional and experienced - Jared oversaw the project from the office & was super responsive on email and text and phone, often coming by to check on the project. Leo was on-site and managed the team - he was great & made sure everything was done correctly. We had a lot of delays on our end due to something out of our control & Terra was super understanding and able to add us into their schedule when we were ready to start. The end result is better than we ever imagined & we constantly get praise from neighbors or people walking by. Terra was great to work with and we'd definitely use them again for any landscaping work!

Terra designed our front and back yard which is about 1 acre. They did an excellent job/design and they are very reliable and professional!

Thank you Mrs. Schedler for your kind and honest feedback. It's a pleasure working with/for your family and we have enjoyed seeing the improvements at your property.

We hired Terra Landscape to remove a small tree from our yard and essentially redo our front yard landscaping. They were responsive, shared honest feedback and ideas about our yard, and gave us tips on how to maintain the work moving forward. We loved working with Terra because we really trusted their design, work, and pricing, and the end result was exactly what we wanted. We also liked supporting a small, family-run business. We will be working with Russ and Jared again to have our walkway redone this season. Highly recommend Terra Landscape!

Terra did an absolutely fantastic job on my yard. They put in a garden, picked out the best bushes possible and did it quickly. They were all very polite, easy to work with and very knowledgeable. I can't recommend them enough.

Thank you for your honest feedback Mrs. Gomez. We are lucky to have great clients such as you and your family and enjoy working for you.

Terra recently finished a landscape and lawn project for our family. They removed old rotting landscape ties, regraded the hill next to our house and designed a lovely solution to help with erosion and water issues. They also fixed a broken fence and addressed some soil/grass issues in our front lawn. Russ and Jared were very professional and met with us several times to modify the proposal and review the work. The crew was experienced and the quality of work was outstanding. Their price was very reasonable and fair. I will definitely use them again for any landscape/lawn needs.
