The Best Landscape Design In Charlottesville
Thoughtful Landscape Design, Native Plantings & Personalized Outdoor Spaces for Charlottesville, VA
For more than 35 years, Beebe Landscape Design has helped homeowners across Charlottesville and Albemarle County create landscapes that feel natural, welcoming, and perfectly tailored to Virginia living. Led by legendary designer Dannie Beebe, our work blends horticultural expertise with an artistic style that has become widely recognized and loved throughout the C-ville area.
We believe landscapes should reflect you and not trends that are not sustainable. Every design begins with a conversation about your needs, your property, and how you want your outdoor space to feel. From there, we create a custom plan, walk you through every detail, and help you visualize the transformation before installation begins.
No rushed concepts. No copy-and-paste plans. Just thoughtful, site-specific design built to thrive in Central Virginia.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you only design, or do you also install?
We offer both. Once your custom design is complete, we’ll schedule installation and handle everything from soil prep to planting.
Is your style more traditional or modern?
Our designs are artistic and site-specific and not trend-driven. Whether your home is historic or contemporary, we create landscapes that enhance its natural character.
Do you create low-maintenance or native-focused landscapes?
Yes. Many Charlottesville homeowners choose native, adaptive, and low-maintenance plant palettes. We’ll recommend species proven to thrive locally and have connections with nurseries around Charlottesville and throughout Virginia.
What if I don’t know what I want yet?
That’s completely fine. Our design process begins with conversation, inspiration, and helping you discover what you like and not forcing a predetermined style.
