We take pride in the fact that we are a locally owned and operated landscape firm. From our facility in Maryland and offices in Northern Virginia, our sole purpose is to serve the Baltimore-Washington-Northern Virginia metropolitan area and the Eastern Shore with emphasis on landscape maintenance and site improvement through proper landscape design.  Our landscape installations are backed by the best extended warranty on planting and seeding in the industry. All of our services are performed by our own staff and come with guaranteed client satisfaction.

In Business since 1980, the company has successfully completed its 30th year — including over 20 years servicing the Virginia market.  Our employees have spent an average of 7 years working together to make Lasting Impressions a true leader in the local landscape maintenance industry.

Five Teams — One Goal

Lasting Impressions Landscape Contractors is broken up into 5 specific service oriented teams:

  • Grounds Maintenance
  • Irrigation/Special Projects
  • Landscape/Design
  • Turf and IPM
  • Golf Services

Each service that is to be performed at a customer’s site, that is outside of the grounds maintenance, will be staffed by its specialized department.  For example our turf and IPM department will perform all turf fertilization, weed spraying, and IPM spraying. 

Our landscape department will perform any tree work above 20’. All of these services for our customers will be directed by on site management and  coordinated through the General Manager.

The customer’s maintenance team will be staffed  during the season with one  crew of 4-6 men as full time crews and another crew 3 to four days a week depending on the seasonal need. This allows for LILC to communicate and service the management companies  daily issues on a  timely basis and emergencies that might arise.

During the winter months the community is inspected on weekly basis for trash and down limbs etc . The manager provides weekly inspections during the winter months.
