From small urban gardens to multi-acre properties, we believe that any space can benefit from great design and professional care. Started in 1989 by two graduates of the University of Maryland, we're a small, locally-owned landscape business offering highly personalized services for all your landscaping and outdoor construction needs. Our team has now grown to include Landscape and Construction professionals to help with all levels of service. For more than 30 years, we've offered two major residential landscape specialties- complete Design/Build services, and Comprehensive Landscape Maintenance plans.

Jeff is the founder and driving force behind As You Like It Landscaping. He's a graduate of the University of Maryland with a degree in Horticulture and Design. He started his company while he was still a student, and has been growing AYLI from a small maintenance business to the niche design/build and estate maintenance company of today ever since.
In 1985, Jeff Aronson (than a kid in high school) had the opportunity to start working on a number of local gardens. While this included manicuring some lawns, the bulk of the work was actual vegetable bed and garden preparation for family friends that could no longer tolerate the labor involved with the cultivation of a garden.
For more than 25 years, we've been transforming ordinary properties into extraordinary landscapes. From concept to completion, we provide a complete design/build service. Our team will help you realize the full potential of your space, considering your project within the context of your greater landscape.
We'll match your requirements with one of our designers who will contact you to schedule an on-site consultation. Our goal during your consultation is to assess your existing site conditions, identify your goals, and determine your project scope and design fees. Any existing grading, irrigation, lighting, or other helpful construction plans of your property.

As you like it transformed our yard from ho him basics to one that is thoughtfully planned. Added bonus, with a portion that is adjacent to our street that lacked a clear vision or purpose, the team incorporated it into the rest of the yard so that it is one congestive space. The result is over the top curb appeal.

If you need a fence, look no further. The entire experience, from the estimate, until the crew pulled away from my house, was professional and pleasant. The crew went out of their way to make sure I was informed with what they were doing, and happy with the result. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

We worked with As You Like It Landscaping to create a new entrance to our house. Our old concrete stoop and walkway was falling apart and becoming unsafe. As You Like It designed and installed a beautiful flagstone entry for us. They were able to expand our front stoop and create a sitting area where we can watch our kids play in the front yard. New plantings were installed across the foundation to dress the whole thing up. Thank you As You Like It Landscaping, our house looks great and we are so happy with the work you did.

I can't recommend this company highly enough for any landscape job, large or small. They responded very quickly to look at a severe drainage problem I was having in my front yard and proposed a far simpler and less expensive solution than other contractors I had had look at the problem. They came out the next business day and installed the new pipe.
Their crew was professional and courteous and did a terrific job on the installation and left my property in perfect order. The supervisor came out at the beginning of the day to make sure they understood what was to be done, mid-way through the job to ensure everything was as discussed, and again when the work was finished. I was particularly struck by the obvious two way respect between crew and supervisor. The proof is in the pudding. I have had no issue despite very heavy rains this spring. You cannot go wrong with this company.

As You Like It has rebuilt our back patio, front steps, and have planted many plants and trees. We highly recommend them - particularly Patrick - for any hardscaping or landscaping projects. We had some irregular requests (adding lights to stone, installing huge boulders, building a fireplace) and they fulfilled each request with expert craftsmanship and a great attitude. They made sure the stones were right, that drainage was accurate, and that everything looked great. We will definitely use As You Like It for any future projects.
