Arentz Landscape Architects LLC has developed a consistent body of award-winning work based on the belief that landscape architecture should be timeless, and that place has everything to do with the character and outcome of a project.

With offices in Washington, D.C., and Middleburg, Va., our experience spans 18 years and 13 countries, and includes residential, institutional, and commercial projects. Whether we are designing a sculpture garden in the desert, a tiny urban terrace, or the master plan for an 80-acre estate, we look to the history, culture, and ecology of each site.
Our landscapes convey a feeling of depth through the use of layered plantings and a well-proportioned architectural framework. Boundaries and vistas define the exterior space. Pathways invite exploration, and details entice, so that the landscape becomes a bridge between nature and people and culture.

We believe that inspiring surroundings have a positive effect on people’s lives, and so we encourage in-depth, ongoing exchanges with our clients and other members of the design team. Clients frequently ask us to evaluate a site prior to purchase, and those close collaborations help to ensure that the design is dynamic, thoughtful, and appropriate.
