Our Story
Under the Sun Landscape, Inc. was started as a way for owner Fred Botsford to bring a quality landscape design and contracting company to the Westminster, Maryland area where he now lives.   By being involved in all the processes over the years, he understands what is needed to perform the jobs correctly.

Before starting Under the Sun Landscape, Inc. Fred worked for a large landscape contractor in Rockville, Maryland as a designer and project manager. Fred has knowledge of many facets of landscape design and construction. He has designed and constructed many projects ranging from front planting beds to large engineered retaining walls.

Fred Botsford grew up in Silver Spring, Maryland and went to the University of Maryland. He graduated from the University of Maryland with a Bachelor of Science degree in Horticulture in 1991, with concentrations in landscape design and ornamental plants. The University of Maryland is a recognized institute of higher learning and Fred feels fortunate he was able to attend. Go Terps!!
