Great Falls estates,
designed for the way
you live.
Bespoke regenerative landscape design for Great Falls estates - integrated with the rolling Piedmont, native Virginia plant palette, and the stewardship that defines this corner of the DMV.
A studio based in
Great Falls.
Eden & Dane was founded in Great Falls and the majority of our completed work sits within a fifteen-minute drive of the studio. We know which slopes hold water, which microclimates suit which plant communities, and which native palettes thrive on the specific soils of the Piedmont.
Most Great Falls estates sit on two to ten acres, often with mature canopy, varied topography, and the kind of long-horizon ownership that rewards landscapes designed for the next quarter century rather than the next listing photo.
Our work in Great Falls integrates the architectural language of the area's homes - traditional, transitional, occasionally modern farmhouse - with the native plant communities that belonged here before the suburbs arrived and that thrive when given back their place.
We design. We install with our trusted local crews. We are usually onsite ourselves through key install milestones. For Great Falls clients, this is the highest-touch engagement Eden & Dane offers.
Four things we understand about Great Falls.
Hot summers, real winters.
Great Falls sits in a transition zone. Plants that thrive in Maryland may struggle here. Plants that work in Charlottesville may not survive. We design with palettes proven across multiple Great Falls sites through full seasonal cycles.
Plants that belonged here first.
Eastern redbud, flowering dogwood, American beech, native viburnums, oakleaf hydrangea, wild ginger, native ferns. The plants that built the Piedmont before development. Designed back into estate gardens, they belong instantly.
Composed, not just dense.
Most Great Falls estates need screening - from the road, from neighbors, from the angle that nobody planned for when the house went in. We design screening as composition, not as a wall of leyland cypresses.
Working with the topography.
Great Falls topography invites water features. Existing ponds renovated. New ones sited where the topography wants them. Stream restoration where the property's hydrology has been disrupted by upstream development.
We grew up in this corner of Virginia. The land speaks a particular dialect here, and the gardens that belong here speak it back.Dane Hoover, Founder
Three reasons it fits.
We are 15 minutes from you.
Site visits during install are not a logistics exercise. We can stop in to inspect a phase, walk a question through with the crew, or check the angle a fence is being set. Distance does not work against the project.
A decade of local projects.
We can point to completed estates within driving distance from your property. You can stand in a finished Great Falls garden we designed before committing to your own. Few designers in the region can offer that.
We know where the bees go.
Where the deer pressure is heaviest. Which side of the road floods. Which slopes hold morning fog. The knowledge that comes from working a region for years rather than reading about it in a regional plant guide.
