WHO WE ARE
OakLawn Landscaping is a family-owned, local business founded in 1999 by Geoff Jackson. Built on the principles of creating beautiful landscapes and providing reliable service, we have taken our business to new levels year after year.

Our Vision
To be the premier landscape company in the Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia area.
Our Weekly Safety Training
What sets us apart from the competition is our dedication to the most thorough safety practices for the benefit of both our employees and clients. In an industry where professional equipment is routinely used, standards are necessary to mitigate risk and liability. Additionally, landscaping involves a variety of services, and thus safety standards change on a routine basis, dependent on the project. In order to keep steady safety at all times, we utilize the NALP published “Safety Tailgate Training.” This manual breaks down relevant safety standards and practices into 52 parts, for training each week of the year. Allowing our crew to gather information from OSHA regulations to the proper operation of various equipment creates a safer work environment. Even through our busy schedule, our employees are routinely trained, ever-improving their skill and safety, to better provide for our customers. Weekly training for our teams is well above industry standards, which we strive to be in every respect.
The OakLawn Quality Control Process
Beyond the level of safety within a landscape, our next priority is the quality of the work performed on the properties of our clients. While we train our employees well and trust their work and judgment, systems must be in place to ensure that quality is consistently top tier. With that being said, we have developed our signature “OakLawn Quality Control Process.” Developed in conjunction with consultant, Head Harvester Ed Laflamme, it allows us to use a numeric grading system to assess each property in a consistent manner. That way our account managers can view the properties of our clients in a precise and standardized manner. For our annual maintenance customers, we perform these property inspections quarterly, so that no stone is left unturned. Quality assurance is a core piece of our identity, as we look to provide superior services to our clients.
OakLawn Standard Management Process
Both safety and quality assurance are significant pieces of the OakLawn Standard Management Process. Put in place to ensure company wide standard practices, we utilize a simple four part approach. Plan, Prioritize, Assign, and Follow Up, are the four ways in which we ensure our properties experience the full OakLawn treatment. Planning is done through consultation, as the needs of a property are identified. We then prioritize your property to ensure that information is shared, and the proper team members are connected to your landscape. This is integral to how we assign tasks and follow up to various members of our production team and property management representatives. Our follow up is the quality control process we employ to make sure that no customer is left behind.
