One of the biggest misconceptions about the companies offering landscaping maintenance services in Ashburn, Aldie, and Leesburg, VA is that they’re all alike. On the surface these companies might appear similar or even offer many of the same services. But the truth is that there are a variety of factors that go into a company and its service offerings. This is why you’ll find that prices can vary dramatically even within the same marketplace.
If you’re considering hiring a company to perform landscape maintenance services for your Ashburn, Aldie, or Leesburg, VA home, we challenge you to dig deeper in your exploration of what’s out there. Look beneath the surface to get to the bottom of what makes the companies you’re comparing different.
While it can be time consuming to explore the differences, if you don’t put in the research, the only real comparison you have to shop on is price. But simply opting for the lowest priced service can be a big mistake that you will come to regret.
That’s because another common misconception is that landscape maintenance is the less technical aspect of landscaping (as compared to something like designing and building a patio or outdoor kitchen, for example). But the fact is that many landscape maintenance services require training and skill to be performed correctly. Services that include professional grade product application can even require special licensure. Performing these services incorrectly can damage your lawn or even cause irreversible harm to your trees and shrubs.
There are a lot of companies in the Northern Virginia area and they’re all quite different. Unfortunately many are fly-by-night businesses that won’t end up being around for the long-haul. If you wind up with one of these companies, you could be left high and dry. That’s why it is so important to research the companies you’re choosing from.
We know that it may feel overwhelming to choose the best landscape maintenance service for your property when there are so many to choose from, but finding the right company will make a huge difference in the overall execution of the service as well as your overall satisfaction with how the job was done.

What Makes Rock Water Farm Landscapes & Hardscapes Different
While we certainly share a few similarities with some these other landscape maintenance services in Ashburn, Aldie, and Leesburg, VA, and we offer some of the same services, we also do some a number of things to set ourselves apart and provide a superior experience for our clients.
For one we take professionalism very seriously. We keep our vehicles and our equipment in top condition as we know they are a reflection of our company. Our crews know that we hold them to a high standard and they don’t disappoint when it comes to meeting that standard. They wear uniforms and always have a professional attitude. All of these factors contribute to our business reputation and we care about upholding that image in the community.
We also take a highly customized approach to landscape maintenance. While a lot of companies offer packaged maintenance programs, when we prepare a proposal, all of our services are offered as a la carte options. That’s because we don’t want to just push services on you. We prefer to educate the our clients, having them ask questions about what each service is and why they might need it. We always want our clients to understand what we’re doing (and what we’re not doing) on their property. Working together, we will find the best program for you with the services you need most.
We are a comprehensive maintenance company meaning that we don’t just “mow, blow and go” as a lot of companies offering landscape maintenance services in Ashburn, Aldie, and Leesburg, VA do. Building a relationship with the client is incredibly important to us. We don’t want to just come to your house, perform a service, and leave. We want to get to know you and do what it takes to meet your needs.
In total, we offer 14 different landscape maintenance services in addition to our landscape design and installation services. But we also help our clients out on projects that come up as needed. For instance, we have clients who might call us when they’re hosting a big party and ask us to get their landscape in shape with whatever it needs to look nice for a backyard event. Accommodating requests like this is part of the ongoing relationship we build with clients.
