Landscape Contractor Serving Commercial and Residential

Rivas Design FAQs

We can take you from concept to completion, beginning with the design. Our designer will work with you to ensure that the end product is what you want, is suited to your space and within your budget. You can trust Rivas Design to provide quality work, with quality material at a fair price. We are interested in building a relationship with you as your project grows.
For larger projects, we work directly with growers to provide you top quality material. On more moderate sized projects, we use local wholesale vendors who are focused on high quality, disease-free plant material.
We offer a one-year, one-time full replacement warranty on woody shrubs and trees installed by our skilled crews, provided all effort has been made to ensure successful establishment. Perennials and annuals, vines and groundcovers are not covered by this warranty. There are some limitations to the warranty. Please ask your designer for further details.

Late winter and summer are the best times to plan your landscape projects so that you are ready for the following planting window.
Generally, in Virginia, the best times to install are in the early spring after the ground thaws, and in the fall as plants begin to go dormant. Fall is the best time to plant deciduous trees and plants (those that lose their leaves in the winter). Spring is the best time to plant the evergreens as they tend to have a harder time in the winter getting acclimated.
After perennials bloom can be a good time to cut back the growth. Then again in the fall when the growth has died. Perennials regenerate from the roots so anything left above the ground in the winter will not return.
