A Word from Our Founder
Sarah Mitchell – Founder, A Mothers Love Landscapes And Lighting
“When I started this business, I wanted to create something that went beyond just landscaping. I wanted to build a landscape company rooted in care, integrity, and a deep respect for the natural world. Every project we take on is an opportunity to bring someone’s outdoor vision to life—and that’s a responsibility I don’t take lightly. I believe that the best landscape services come from a place of genuine listening and understanding. We don’t just design and build; we connect with our clients, learn their stories, and translate their dreams into tangible outdoor realities.”
“Living and working in Strasburg has given me a profound appreciation for the beauty of our region. I’ve seen how a well-designed garden landscape can transform not just a property, but the way people feel about their home. Whether we’re planting a single tree or designing a complete garden, our goal is always the same: to create spaces that nurture and inspire. I’m proud of the team we’ve built and the relationships we’ve formed, and I look forward to continuing to serve our community with the same love and attention we’ve offered from day one. As a landscape company, we are committed to delivering landscape solutions that honor the unique character of each property we touch. Our work is not just about aesthetics; it’s about creating environments where families grow, memories are made, and life unfolds beautifully. We approach every garden landscape with a sense of wonder and responsibility, knowing that the spaces we create will become part of our clients’ daily lives for years to come.”
Our Services
Custom Landscape Construction
Our custom landscape construction services are designed to turn your outdoor vision into reality. From planting beds and sod installation to complete yard renovations, we handle every aspect of the process with attention to detail. As a full-service landscape company, we assess your property’s unique characteristics—soil type, sunlight exposure, and drainage patterns—to create sustainable landscape solutions that thrive in Strasburg’s climate. Our team works closely with you to select the right plants, materials, and design elements that complement your home’s architecture and your personal style. We manage grading, drainage solutions, and soil amendment to ensure a strong foundation for your new landscape. Every element is carefully coordinated, from the initial earth-moving to the final layer of mulch, delivering a cohesive and enduring garden landscape that exceeds expectations.
Price range: Starting at $2,500 per project
Garden Design and Installation
Garden design and installation is at the heart of what we do. We create vibrant, layered gardens that provide year-round visual interest. Our designs incorporate a mix of perennials, shrubs, ornamental grasses, and flowering trees selected for their adaptability to Virginia’s growing conditions. We consider bloom times, color palettes, and texture combinations to craft garden landscape designs that evolve beautifully through the seasons. From initial concept sketches to final planting, we manage every step—including soil preparation, irrigation setup, and mulching—to ensure your garden establishes strongly and remains healthy for years to come. We also incorporate hardscape elements like decorative borders and stepping stones to add structure and visual flow. Our landscape services extend to ongoing plant health assessments, ensuring your garden continues to flourish with proper care and seasonal adjustments.
Price range: $1,200 – $4,800 depending on size and plant selection

Our residential landscaping services focus on creating cohesive, inviting outdoor spaces for homeowners. We address everything from lawn care and pruning to complete property makeovers. As a trusted landscape company, we understand that every home has its own character and rhythm. Whether you’re looking to refresh your front yard’s curb appeal or design a backyard retreat for relaxation and entertaining, we tailor our landscape solutions to your specific needs. We also provide seasonal clean-ups, leaf removal, and ongoing maintenance plans to keep your landscape looking its best throughout the year. Our team takes pride in delivering reliable, high-quality work that enhances the comfort and enjoyment of your home. We evaluate drainage patterns, sunlight exposure, and existing vegetation to develop comprehensive plans that address both beauty and functionality. Our landscape services include lawn aeration, fertilization scheduling, and pest management strategies that align with sustainable practices.

Hardscape Installation
Hardscape installation adds structure and functionality to your outdoor environment. We design and build patios, walkways, retaining walls, fire pits, and outdoor seating areas using a variety of materials including natural stone, pavers, and concrete. Our hardscape projects are planned with careful attention to grading, drainage, and long-term durability. We also integrate lighting elements to highlight pathways and architectural features, creating inviting spaces that can be enjoyed well into the evening. Whether you’re envisioning a simple stone path or a multi-level entertaining area, we bring precision and craftsmanship to every installation. Our hardscape designs are thoughtfully integrated with surrounding plantings, creating a harmonious relationship between built and natural elements. As a comprehensive landscape company, we ensure that every hardscape feature complements the overall garden landscape design, providing both visual appeal and practical function. We offer design consultations—both remote and on-site—to help you select materials and layouts that suit your property’s topography and your lifestyle preferences.
