Kingstowne Lawn & Landscape

Landscaping, Lawn and Yard Work, Pavers and Hardscaping,

About us

Kingstowne Lawn & Landscape was established by Krisjan Berzins and Phil Williams in 1997. Both graduated in 1993 from Mount Vernon High School in Alexandria, Virginia, and were members of the varsity football team when they began their friendship. Phil attended Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., where he studied sociology. Krisjan attended Randolph Macon College in Ashland, Virginia, where he studied international business. Krisjan’s experience working in grounds maintenance at the Mount Vernon Country Club and Phil’s discipline and strong business sense formed the foundation for an ideal partnership, and the two began working together in 1997. After only 10 years in business, they had grown Kingstowne Lawn & Landscape into one of the most recognized landscape brands in Northern Virginia—with annual gross revenues of more than $5 million. In early 2008, Krisjan purchased Phil’s share of the corporation and became sole owner of Kingstowne Lawn & Landscape. While he was disappointed to see Phil go, Krisjan knew that he was ready to write the next chapter of the Kingstowne story. Today, nearly 20 successful years of business, Krisjan and his wife, Mayra, head a strong company with over 50 employees, 25 trucks, and 13 acre corporate campus, inside the beltway, in Alexandria, Virginia. Their company’s success lies in the firm belief that every customer should be treated as the “only” customer!

My experience with them as an A. The man we deal with is really really great. He can look at the problem and come up with great solutions that work. They are very practical. He is very honest. He flat out told us that it would probably never happen again so we didn't need it. They show up when they say they are gonig to show up. They work they do is great.
Description of Work: They came out and re dug some flower beds and put down a stone baorder.

They are so professional and reliable. We had an issue with a tree they put it and they came back and replaced it, they filled in the hole, and they removed the tree at no charge.

We had 2 very large beds on the sides of the yard converted to sod. This meant removing a stump, taking out landscaping timbers and removing overgrown shrubs. I also had them pull weeds, remove old overgrown azaleas, edge the flower beds that we wanted to keep and place mulch. I had them move two 10 foot trees to the other side of the yard for a screen. They exceeded our expectations! Josh Brewer was very professional and has followed up to make sure everything was okay. I plan to hire them this fall to plant shrubs. Their work made the summer yard work bearable and vegetable garden possible! GREAT JOB!
Description of Work: Edged and weed flower beds front yard, side yard. Removed all overgrown shrubs from flower bed in front of porch. Removed raised bed and timbers and replace with sod. Transplanted 2 Leland cypress trees to opposite side of yard (10 ft trees). Removed flower bed from center of side yard, grind stump, replaced with sod. Mulched all of the flower beds.

The entire experience was positive right from the beginning. The representative that came to do the estimate was on-time and very professional. He was able to clearly and accurately describe the work that would be performed, a time line, and the corresponding cost. The work was performed on a faster time line than any other company I got estimates from could offer. The workers arrived on-time and were also friendly and obviously knew what they were doing. The job's been completed for a few weeks now and I haven't had any issues with it after rains and excessive heat.
Description of Work: My townhouse has a small fenced-in yard ( 200 sf) which was all mulch. Part of it is covered by the deck, but part was exposed. I wanted to be able to actually use the yard rather than have it overrun by weeds every spring/summer. Kingstown Lawn laid out a combination of concrete pavers and river rock throughout the area.

We have a yearly contract with them. We called them and they sent out the designer. He came back out and brought books for us. Their was a slight problem, but they came back out and fixed it. They are always here on-time, they cleaned up after themselves, and they are just excellent to work with.
Description of Work: They do weekly mowing, edging, and clean-up. They put weed preventives on the lawn during the year. They did some professional landscaping for us.

The grass in my lawn was very high and my husband was too ill to mow it. Also, my front yard was overgrown and needed clearing, trimming and weeding. They responded to my call the next day, but due to excessive rain they were not able to get to my lawn until a week later. They were hard workers and didn't stop until they completed the job. The price was reasonable considering the amount of work that had to be done. I would definitely use them again.

This is not the first time I have used Kingstowne Lawn and Landscape. I was very pleased with my initial experience with them so I did not hesitate to call them again after I had some remodeling done to my home. Due to an addition onto my home I needed to have an area regraded and new drainage lines installed at my home. Kingstowne Lawn & Landscape showed up on time for the appointment and spent some time with me going over solution options for the problem at hand. Once we had decided the best course of action it was only a matter of days for me to have an extensive proposal to which I accepted without hesitation. The work began promptly on the day in which they were scheduled and was finished before the projected finish date. The quality of the materials used was exceptional and the care the workers took while at my home was equally as impressive. This company obviously takes the time to look at the fine details it takes to make a customer satisfied enough to not only recommend them to others, but to use them again.

They also did mowing & weeding work and they did very good with that also. The price for this work (mowing & weeding) was approximately $140.00. We were pleased with them. They did a good job and made our house look nice. They helped to add to our curb appeal. We would use them again.

The landscape architect was great. I gave her my vision and she put it all together. The finished product looks beautiful. They did a wonderful job. I would highly recommend them.
Description of Work: Kingstowne did major landscaping on my front and side yards. I had a porch and sidewalk resurfaced with flagstone and bricked. They also erected 3 stone walls. Two were 15 feet long, and the third measured 28 feet long. They applied mulching and planted one crape myrtle. They planted some azaleas and trees and other shrubbery.

We are on a yearly contract with Kingstowne and have used them for several years now. They are reliable and dependable. I never have to even think about it, they just come and do the work on schedule. Our lawn is always lovely and has no weeds or bugs in sight. I would certainly recommend them to others in the area.

Alan arrived promptly and, after talking to me about what I wanted, worked up a plan during our initial consultation. I had given him a budget range and he stayed on the low end of my figures. The work was scheduled, about 4 weeks later. I was not at home, when the work took place, but when I returned the yard looked beautiful and they had been meticulous, about cleaning up after themselves. The original plan had included some annual flower plantings, but those were out of stock, due to the time of the year, so I was offered a credit or a fall planting of another flower type (I chose the credit). Overall it was a very good experience.

The landscaping was expensive, but I wanted everything. Walls, walkways, etc. So, I went ahead with the project. There were a few problems right from the start, but I decided they could be overcome. Like if you have a problem with the lawn cut, you call one person. If you have a problem with the bushes call another person, etc. I wanted one person to deal with but that is not the way they were setup. The first season was a good price. The second season I expected the prices to go up, and they did. In starting my third season with Kingstowne, they ratcheted up the price for services so high I felt it was extortion! I dropped them like a hot potato. Too bad, I really liked dealing with Alan the landscape architect. But I felt I was being ripped off big time. After being a good customer for several seasons, they decided to really push the prices up. After questioning this, the owner told me "I evaluated this job and decided we have been undercharging you for your lawn care!"
Description of Work: Had a lot of landscaping done. Retaining walls, walkways, drainage, electric, etc. Also used Kingstowne for weekly lawn cutting, bush trimming, fertilizing, aeration, the works.

Response from Kingstowne Lawn & Landscape
IN 2003 THE MEMBER WAS A CLIENT WITH OUR MOWING SERVICE, LAWN & SHRUB TREATMENTS, PRUNING, AERATION, AND LEAVES. IN 2004, THERE WERE NO RATE INCREASES. IN 2004 THE MEMBER CONTRACTED US TO DO A LARGE PROJECT. WE DID A FANTASTIC JOB ON THE DESIGN AND THE INSTALLATION. THE PROJECT WAS NOT OVERPRICED. AFTER THE NEW PLANTS AND BEDS WERE IN WE HAD TO ADJUST OUR PRICING TO ACCOMMODATE THE NEW PLANTINGS. OUR SHRUB TREATMENT PRICE WENT FROM $65 TO $70, AND OUR PRUNING FROM $105 TO $135. IN 2005 WE DID NOT RAISE ANY PRICES EXCEPT MOWING. OUR ORIGINAL QUOTE OF $36 WAS BASED ON THE CONDITIONS IN 2003. OVER THE SUBSEQUENT 2 YEARS, IRRIGATION AND LANDSCAPING WERE ADDED, AND TREATMENTS WERE BEING APPLIED. THIS MAKES THE GRASS GROW THICKER AND FASTER. THE PRICE WAS RAISED TO $45. IN 2006 THE MEMBER DID NOT RENEW HIS SERVICES WITH US. AGAIN WE DID NOT RAISE OUR PRICES ON ANY SERVICES EXCEPT MOWING. UNFORTUNATELY, IN 2005 WE NEEDED TO RAISE OUR MOWING PRICE AGAIN TO $56. WE WERE HAVING ISSUES WITH THE LAWN BEING WET. THIS WOULD FORCE OUR GUYS TO SPEND EXTRA TIME USING VERY SMALL MOWERS OR TRIMMERS IN SPOTS TO AVOID MAKING RUTS. LAST YEAR ONLY 6% OF OUR ENTIRE CLIENTELE RECEIVED A RATE INCREASE, AND 100% OF THESE CLIENTS HAVE THE OPTION TO CANCEL THE SERVICE AT ANY TIME. I AM PERSONALLY OFFENDED THAT SOMEONE WOULD ACCUSE ME OR MY COMPANY OF EXTORTION OR RIPPING SOMEONE OFF. I CAN SAY WITH 100% CERTAINTY, THAT WE OFFER EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE, QUALITY, VALUE, AND HONESTY.
