Our Story
Over 35 Years in Business
In the summer of 1985 college friends Bill Merkler and Walter Bostian started Down To Earth Landscaping, Inc. Both worked their way through college by commuting an hour away to complete customers’ projects, all while attending classes full-time. With determination to grow their landscaping business, they knew that hard work, excellent customer service, and the best employees would steer their company in a direction they would be proud of.
Down To Earth’s small start has to-date grown into a multi state, full service landscaping company. We offer our clients the benefit of receiving prompt, professional services for everything from landscape design, to grounds maintenance, and irrigation system installation. Most importantly we believe our greatest success comes from our devoted clients.
For 35 years, Bill and Walt have grown their friendship and expanded Down To Earth Landscaping, Inc. to provide quality solutions for their clients. We work with individual property owners, small businesses, and state run facilities and parks to provide high quality landscape services to Virginia, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Washington DC.
