Landscaping Services in Calvert County, MD

Calvert County is one of the most beautiful places in Maryland to own a home, and also one of the trickiest to landscape. Your property might sit on a wooded ridge in Huntingtown, on a bluff above the Bay in Chesapeake Beach, or on a low waterfront lot near the Patuxent in Solomons. Each one asks for a different plan. Sunscape Landscaping brings design, construction, and ongoing care under one roof, so you work with a single local team from the first sketch to the last leaf pickup.

Whether you want a paver patio and fire pit for the backyard, a lawn that finally fills in, or a fix for the gully that washes out every time it storms, we'll build a plan that fits your land, your budget, and Calvert County's rules.

Our Calvert County Landscaping Services

Landscaping Waterfront Property Near the Bay and Patuxent

If your home is within 1,000 feet of tidal water or tidal wetlands, it likely falls inside Maryland's Chesapeake Bay Critical Area. That can affect how much you can clear, how much new impervious surface (like patios and walkways) you can add, and what plantings may be required. Homeowners in Solomons, Broomes Island, Lusby, North Beach, and Chesapeake Beach run into this often.

We talk through these considerations during your consultation and design with them in mind, favoring native, salt-tolerant plants, permeable options where they make sense, and buffers that protect the shoreline. For your specific lot, it's always smart to confirm requirements with Calvert County Planning & Zoning before a larger project begins.

Calvert County Landscaping FAQs

Do you offer landscaping services throughout Calvert County?

Yes. Sunscape Landscaping serves all of Calvert County, including Prince Frederick, Huntingtown, Owings, Dunkirk, North Beach, Chesapeake Beach, St. Leonard, Port Republic, Lusby, Solomons, and Broomes Island, for both residential and commercial properties.

Does the Chesapeake Bay Critical Area affect my landscaping project?

It can. Properties within 1,000 feet of tidal waters or tidal wetlands generally fall inside the Critical Area, which may limit tree clearing and new impervious surfaces like patios, and can require replacement plantings. We design with these rules in mind and recommend confirming your lot's requirements with Calvert County Planning & Zoning before larger projects.

When is the best time to seed or plant in Calvert County?

Early fall, roughly September through October, is the best window for seeding cool-season lawns like tall fescue, and fall is also excellent for planting trees and shrubs. Spring works well too. Keep in mind Maryland law prohibits applying lawn fertilizer between November 15 and March 1.

How do you handle steep slopes and erosion on Calvert County lots?

We start by finding where the water comes from and where it needs to go. Depending on the site, solutions include retaining walls, terraced beds, French drains, swales, regrading, and dense native groundcovers and shrubs whose roots hold soil in place.

How much does landscaping cost in Calvert County?

Most residential projects range from around $500 for seasonal maintenance to $10,000 or more for custom hardscape installations like patios, retaining walls, and fire pits. Every Calvert County estimate is free, on-site, and itemized so you know exactly what you're paying for.

Are you licensed and insured?
