Services
Lawn Care
Our lawn care services include fertilization, weed control, mowing, and seasonal treatments to maintain healthy, vibrant turf. We use tailored programs to address soil health, pest management, and disease prevention. Our 10-application Prime Lawn Program ensures year-round care, enhancing grass density and resilience while reducing weeds and pests for residential and commercial properties.
Hardscaping
Hardscaping services include patios, retaining walls, walkways, and fire pits using stone, pavers, and concrete. We design durable, low-maintenance features that enhance property aesthetics and functionality. Projects integrate seamlessly with natural landscapes, providing long-term value through expert installation and material selection for residential outdoor living spaces.
Aeration & Seeding
Core aeration and overseeding services repair thin or damaged lawns by improving soil compaction and promoting grass growth. We use a blend of fescue and Kentucky bluegrass seed for optimal germination. This process strengthens root systems, reduces erosion, and creates a denser lawn to resist weeds, particularly effective in Virginia's climate for fescue-dominated turf.
Shoreline Solutions
Shoreline stabilization services include riprap installation, boulder seawalls, and beach construction to prevent erosion. We use granite or mountain stone to reinforce lakefronts, creating durable, aesthetically pleasing barriers. Projects often incorporate geotextile fabric and grading to ensure long-term stability while maintaining natural aesthetics for Lake Anna properties.
Landscape Design
Custom landscape design services create cohesive outdoor spaces tailored to client preferences and property conditions. We offer planting-only, backyard/frontyard, and full-property designs with detailed plans for hardscaping, plants, and lighting. Designs prioritize functionality, aesthetics, and long-term maintenance efficiency, with optional installation services for seamless execution.

Called for a quote to provide weekly lawn care, and discussed semi landscaping maintenance, beds, trees, mulching. Operator arranged visit contract estimates within 48 hours of my request.
Thanked them for the quote and quick response. "Passed" as their estimate was double than of 3 other "local" providers.

Could not be happier with the Rip Rap project from Local Landscapers. Outstanding job and done in a timely matter. These guys do what they say and get it done when they say. This is a sunrise to sunset hard working crew that takes real pride in their work. They also have great vision and helped us figure out what would work and what would look great. Chaz and Cody knocked it out of the park on this one. High Quality work at a great price. These guys are becoming "The" shoreline company at the lake.

In the land of "Lake Time", I am happy to report that Local Landscapers have buck the trend and is an an outstanding Lake Anna company. Chaz and his crew do what most companies in the area do not do.... they work hard, they show up and they get the work done. Not only do they deliver when they say they will, there work is exceptional and professional. I cannot recommend this company more. They cleaned out, graded and planted grass in a war zone of weeds, trees and bushes. They also spruced up my deteriorating walkways to a fresh new look. I will say, they are not the cheapest landscapers in the

We are exceedingly happy with Charles and Local Landscapers! We always support local business and when another local company kept cancelling appointments, missing deadlines, and not returning messages we needed to find a reliable, professional and affordable company to work with. We found Local Landscapers and it was the best decision we ever made. Charles came out to do an estimate within a few days of my call, and the 35 yards of mulch and bed trimming was completed the within the week!!! I wish I called them instead of wasting months with another company. Charles is very professional, personable
