About Us

Your yard.
In good hands.

Choose your contractor with confidence — we’ve spent the last 25 years crafting an experience you can feel good about.

To Virginians, home is a retreat from the demands of a busy lifestyle — and their outdoor spaces are the perfect place to connect with nature and their loved ones.

Keeping those spaces looking great takes time... time you don’t often have. You know you may need to hire someone to help with your lawn and gardens, but usually, those two require different contractors. Coordinating multiple companies to care for your property can be time-consuming and leave you feeling a little overwhelmed. Thankfully, there’s a better way.

At Brandon Rushing Lawn and Garden Care, we want you to feel proud of your home and have time to enjoy it. We’ve made it our mission to care for you and your property — and we do it through Brandon’s Promise: a proprietary set of guidelines that ensure your yard looks great, and you feel good about your experience with us.

Our horticultural experts developed a proven 12-month program to keep both your lawn and gardens healthy — without the need to coordinate multiple contractors. On top of a plan that yields visible results, you can expect a refreshingly professional client experience. So relax and feel the confidence that comes from knowing your property in the right hands.

Our Guarantee

Visible results.
