Landscaping That Reflects the Values You Live By
Faith-Led. Family-Built. Commercial-Focused.

Founded by his father in 2001, the company has evolved into a second-generation business serving primarily commercial clients across Maryland and Northern Virginia. Over the past decade, Artistic has transitioned from residential roots to a commercial focus, now operating at 90% commercial and continuing to grow.
About Artistic Landscaping
At the heart of our company is a deep belief that the work, the clients, and the team members we’re given are blessings, not coincidences.
Our 50-person team operates like a family, guided by shared company values and a commitment to serve with integrity. We follow God’s word in how we treat each other, care for our communities, and show up each day with purpose. As scripture reminds us:
“And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.”
— Ephesians 4:32
What We Believe
We believe professionalism is more than a uniform or a clipboard.
It’s following through without being asked, reporting issues before they become problems, and doing the job the way we’d want it done on our own property.
Our leadership values are grounded in this simple order:
God → Family → Work → Friends
It’s how we manage our team, how we build client relationships, and how we earn trust over time.
