Turn Your Columbia, MD Outdoor
Living Space Into the Favorite Part of Your Home
Designed Around You. Built the WH Boyer Way.
Columbia, Maryland is known for its established neighborhoods, mature trees, and backyards with incredible potential. Whether your home backs onto the woods, overlooks open green space, or simply needs a better place to gather, your yard should feel like a natural extension of your home instead of an area you rarely use.
Since 1960, WH Boyer Landscape Services has helped homeowners throughout Columbia, MD create outdoor living spaces that make everyday life more enjoyable. From your 15-Minute Creative Planning Session to the final walkthrough, you'll experience personal attention, clear communication, and a crew that stays focused on your backyard until the work is complete.
When you choose WH Boyer, you're getting more than beautiful craftsmanship. You're getting The WH Boyer Experience. We answer your questions, provide clear, detailed proposals, order materials before construction begins, and keep you informed throughout the entire process. The result is an outdoor living investment that feels just as rewarding to build as it is to enjoy for years to come.
Many Columbia, MD homeowners know they want to spend more time outside but aren't sure where to begin. Maybe your patio no longer fits the way your family entertains. Maybe your yard feels disconnected or lacks purpose. Maybe drainage problems have made certain areas difficult to enjoy.
Our experienced designers help bring everything together with a plan tailored to your home, your lifestyle, and your long-term goals. We'll help you make informed decisions, understand your options, and create an outdoor environment you'll love coming home to.
Enjoy the Project as Much as the Finished Backyard
Every feature we design has one goal, helping you enjoy your home outdoors more often. Whether you're looking for one gathering space or a complete backyard transformation, we'll create an outdoor living environment that's beautiful, functional, and built to last.

Why Our Process Makes Outdoor Living Projects Feel Less Stressful
Over the years, we have developed a process that benefits the client and smoothly moves each project forward. The success of our process is due to excellent communication and complete transparency. You can sit back and relax as we work out your landscaping needs and find the exact solution you need.
Fill out our contact form and upload photos of your landscape, so we can get an initial idea of what you're looking for.
Within 48 business hours of receiving your form, we'll call you back to discuss your project and decide if we're a good fit. If so, we’ll set up a time to visit you on your property.
We'll listen to your vision and assess your project so that we can give you some ideas and recommendations. This consultation takes about 30 minutes and includes a discussion of our landscape design process.
We'll give you a design agreement to sign, collect the design fee deposit, and return to your property to take photos and measurements. Then, we'll get started on your custom design!
We'll come to your property to present your design about two weeks after your on-site consultation. You'll receive your own copy to review and make changes to, if desired. At this point, we can answer questions, consider any revisions you may want, and work with you to arrive at a plan that fits your property and budget.
We'll work on any revisions that need to be made, and once we've reached an agreement on a final design, we'll provide a clear and detailed proposal. If you’re ready to get started, we'll accept an initial 33% deposit, order your materials, and get you on the schedule!
We always order everything we need before we begin the project, so you're not stuck with a messy property for an extended period of time. We'll show up when we say we will and won't stop until the job is complete. Any necessary delays or changes will be clearly communicated to you. We'll accept another 33% of the total cost when work begins.
At the final walkthrough of your property, we'll accept the final 33% of the project cost, discuss warranties, and educate you on proper maintenance of your new landscape. We may also be able to offer you landscape maintenance options to help you keep it looking great for years to come.
