About Us
From a push mower and a broom at age 11 to one of Anne Arundel County's most trusted lawn care and landscaping companies. Meet Kevin Schofield and the team behind the work.
Schofield Outdoors is a lawn care and landscaping company based in Annapolis, Maryland, founded by Kevin Schofield. The company was formally branded in 2019, but Kevin's story in the industry goes back much further -- all the way to 2005, when he was just 11 years old.
It started with a push mower and a broom in his childhood neighborhood of Arnold, MD. Kevin spent his summers and weekends cutting grass for neighbors, earning trust one yard at a time. Through high school and college, he never stopped. While his peers were moving on to other things, Kevin kept coming back to the work he loved -- taking care of lawns and the people who live in the homes behind them.
That first client from 2005? They are still a Schofield Outdoors client today, over twenty years later. That kind of loyalty does not happen by accident. It happens because Kevin treats every property as if it were his own and every client as a relationship, not a transaction.
"When you choose Schofield Outdoors, you aren't just getting a lawn and landscape service -- you're getting a relationship with people you can trust."

Experience That Matters
Kevin's background extends far beyond landscaping. His years in the trades give him a perspective that most lawn care operators simply do not have.
Before fully committing to Schofield Outdoors, Kevin spent years working across multiple trades -- carpentry, electrical work, flooring installation, hauling, pesticide application, and construction. Each of those experiences built a different skill set, and all of them inform how he approaches outdoor projects today.
When Kevin assesses a landscape, he is not just looking at the grass and the garden beds. He is evaluating drainage patterns that could affect a foundation. He is noticing grading issues that a standard mow-and-blow crew would never catch. He is thinking about how a retaining wall will interact with the soil behind it over the next decade, not just the next season.
This multi-trade background is why Schofield Outdoors can handle projects that go beyond routine lawn maintenance. Need a landscape design that accounts for existing hardscaping? Kevin has built hardscapes. Want recommendations on outdoor lighting placement? He has run electrical. Concerned about drainage near your home's foundation? He has worked construction and understands how water moves through soil and against structures.
That depth of knowledge is something you cannot get from a franchise training manual. It comes from twenty years of doing the work, solving real problems, and learning from every job site along the way.
What We Stand For
Every decision we make -- from hiring crew members to choosing materials -- is guided by four core principles.
We do not chase volume. We build relationships with every client and maintain them for years -- sometimes decades. Our very first client from 2005 is still with us today because trust and consistency matter more than a quick sale.
We use professional-grade equipment, choose premium materials, and never cut corners on preparation. The extra effort up front is what separates a landscape that thrives for years from one that falls apart after the first hard rain.
Kevin grew up in Arnold, still lives in Anne Arundel County, and has worked in these neighborhoods for over twenty years. We are not a corporate franchise operating remotely. We live here, and we are invested in keeping our community beautiful.
We adjust our service intervals and methods based on actual conditions -- weather patterns, soil moisture, grass growth rates -- rather than following a rigid calendar. Your lawn gets what it needs, when it needs it, and nothing it does not.
Our Community
From the waterfront neighborhoods of Cape St. Claire and Arnold to the established communities of Severna Park and Annapolis, Schofield Outdoors has been part of the fabric of Anne Arundel County since 2005. We serve hundreds of residential and commercial properties across seven communities.
Many of our clients have been with us for five, ten, even fifteen years. We have watched their kids grow up, their gardens evolve, and their properties transform. That is the kind of long-term partnership that only a locally owned, owner-operated company can offer.
Whether you need routine lawn care, seasonal cleanup, mulching, or landscape improvements, we are probably already working in your neighborhood.
