2021 IDEA BOOK
About Valley Landscaping Stone & Patio The seeds of Valley Landscaping were planted with our owner and founder, Daniel Bougher, at 14 years old mowing lawns in his neighborhood. His market reached as far as he could walk with his forest-green, Craftsman push mower and rake. From an early age, Daniel like many employees at Valley Landscaping, had a love for the outdoors no matter if it’s 100-degrees or 20-degrees. It doesn’t matter either if it’s raining, snowing, or sleeting – that just makes the nice days more enjoyable. Daniel earned a nice income as a teenager and put his lawn mowing business on hold while pursuing his college degree in Business Administration with hopes of working as a portfolio analyst at one of the top investment firms such as T Rowe Price. Graduating at the height of the Great Recession in 2009 and looking for work in finance was a formidable challenge. He did a land a job in planning and then went on to travel around the world working for event companies, marketing firms, and agricultural societies in Australia and Asia. Upon his return to the states, Daniel realized that the one thing he cared about and always enjoyed, whether it was being outdoors, solving tough challenges, or seeing a landscape design come together – it was building a successful business that involved working with clients who shared a love for creative outdoor living. Today, Valley Landscaping has grown into a successful company serving residential and commercial clients in the areas of Catonsville and Ellicott City where he and his employees share their passion for creating innovative solutions and designing beautiful outdoor spaces for others to enjoy. Whether your looking for landscaping, stone, patio or maintenance to your current landscaping, we’re here for you. We love our work and we are excited to share just a few of our projects as you explore ideas for your outdoor living space. See for yourself…
Daniel Bougher, Owner & Founder
What was once a concrete slab and crumbling brick wall is now a beautiful, twotiered patio for kids and grandkids to enjoy. We are particularly proud of this project after spending time with the homeowner carefully reviewing the designs and various options to ensure we exceeded her expectations.
A gazebo with patio created the perfect outdoor space for a growing family to enjoy for years to come. Notice the sailor course pavers outlining the field of pavers and how the colors match the roof of the gazebo.
When the homeowners’ wedding plans were postponed due to the pandemic, they instead celebrated with this custom-made, stone veneer fire feature. A perfect wedding gift for friends and family to enjoy too throughout the year.
With the holidays approaching, the homeowners wanted to turn what was a boring front yard into an inviting and vibrant home. A custom design was created right before the client’s eyes. Within a few days, the yard was alive with columns of shrubs accenting the driveway and beautiful textures leading to the door to create a welcoming space.
In the backyard, a natural stone wall and steps was created to create an idyllic focal point that leads to a pond and tennis court…
…And in the front yard, two spiral shrubs highlight the entrance.
Some clients’ landscaping just needs a bit of maintenance that can also mean long hours and backbreaking work. In this case, the client needed maintenance done quickly so he could put his home on the market…
Within 2 days, we mulched all the gardens, weeded the beds, trimmed the trees, added a few plants for color and variety to create a tranquil setting.
Sometimes it’s just nice to sit back with family and friends by a fire pit. This stone pit along with newly laid sod in the backyard, is the perfect setting to gather around the fire as the sun sets just about any time of the year.
Just about any backyard, can be transformed into a space for family cookouts or just lounging with a glass of wine on a beautiful stone patio. The natural colors in the patio along with the textures in the stone wall create a space unlike any other.
These Techo-Bloc Villagio pavers blended with Champlain Gray and Chestnut colors created a classic cobblestone look to give this backyard patio and decking an “oldworld” feel with all the modern, relaxing comforts every homeowner desires on a summer evening.
A stone wall like this one creates a beautiful flowing accent, even over multiple elevations, to give the home a unique finish.
This beautiful deck often led to nothing but mud and an eroding bank. Now, it’s a lovely setting for a crab feast and a chance to enjoy the outdoors thanks to this new patio and wall block with permeable joints to help control the natural water flow.
An old deck and concrete pad were torn out and replaced with a tiered patio for a family and their two young boys to play, roast marshmallows and enjoy their backyard. The two tiers created two entertainment zones, both of which lead into separate entrances to the home.
Need some privacy quickly? Dozens of “Green Giants” measuring about 12-14 feet in height were added to create some natural screening as the homeowners added a new pool and cabana to their backyard getaway.
A favorite for many homeowners, this fire pit, stone patio & wall creates the perfect setting for any gathering at your home. Perfect for cookouts, catching up with family or just a place to relax.
After years of putting up with old, broken concrete steps, an aging walkway and an eroding hill, this homeowner now has more space than ever and a stone entrance that is far more inviting.
If you’re tired of your four-legged friends tracking mud and dirt in from under your deck, stone pavers are ideal to create a more functional space for everyone in the family.
This is outdoor living at its best – all transformed with a stone patio and fire pit. There is no limit to the enjoyment you can have for years to come in a setting like this one.
This older home went through a complete landscaping makeover that included new trees, deer-resistant shrubs and flowers, new lighting along the walkway as well as stone accents.
An old backyard deck was replaced to create a new patio and fire pit area that can be enjoyed by friends and family throughout the year.
The native species and the variety of colors and textures all combine in this design to create a small, but flourishing landscape.
This beautiful, yet functional stone walkway and wall created muchneeded space for the homeowners to get in and out of their cars without spending a fortune on a new driveway.
Pavers such as this one, when set on a properly prepared foundation, are stronger and more durable than concrete due to their thickness ratio – and they are far more appealing!
A perfect blend of nature and design come together in this homeowner’s backyard to create a scenic and elegant patio area.
New stone steps, wall and patio were all added to create a new space for the homeowners to enjoy some time with the family, a cookout or just a place to unwind in the evening…
