About Us
The Company Begins
Complete Landscaping Service was founded in 1979, and in the early years focused on high-end residential landscape installation and design. We changed the focus of Complete in 1982 towards becoming a more comprehensive commercial landscape company with a greater concentration. A fourth-generation nurseryman, Don was not only looking to continue his family’s legacy, but was determined to succeed by becoming a leader in all aspects of the commercial landscape industry.
Over the next eight years, Complete Landscaping Service began to grow in the industry, building a strong reputation as a dependable and quality oriented commercial landscaping company. By the end of 1990 Complete had recorded sales of more than $3 million, the service fleet had expanded from four vehicles to 26, and the staff had grown to nearly 40 full-time and 100 seasonal employees. As Complete Landscaping continued to shift its focus – with more than 90 percent of the company’s projects taking place in the commercial landscape field – the company was becoming one of the area’s finest commercial landscaping businesses.
In 2015, the Washington Business Journal highlighted Complete Landscaping Service as the fifth largest commercial landscaping company in the Washington Metropolitan area. Complete Landscaping remains as committed today as it was in the beginning years to providing the highest level of quality and service to its clients. After over 30 years in business in the Maryland, Virginia and Washington DC region, Complete has earned a reputation for creating and maintain distinctive environments.
Complete’s landscapes surround residential communities, hotels, shopping centers, hospitals and office parks. Complete Landscaping takes pride in knowing that no matter where its landscapes are featured, they give the property a unique competitive edge.
