“I knew of her reputation as a passionate landscape designer by word of mouth, and asked her for some input aimed at resolving a drainage problem. Her response was both highly effective on a problem solving level, and as an added benefit, on an aesthetic level. As the years pass, her design seems to wrap itself around us like loving arms. I recommend her without reservation. Clifford Wheeler”

“We have used Landscape Concepts continuously since 2012 for landscape services, mowing and routine maintenance and clean up. They are really good at minimizing any disturbance of surrounding plants when they are working. They keep our property looking as good as it can be. Their crews are excellent: thorough, efficient, respectful and responsive. Their clean up after working is always really great. They have planted, transplanted, and removed trees, bushes and other plantings at my exact direction (I'm very hands-on). While the cost to guarantee their plantings is high (60% of the cost of the plant material) it is the industry standard and Dale honors his guarantee with no-cost replacement. They do excellent hard-scaping (stone walls, brick and paver patios, etc). They are usually pretty prompt, but some seasons are pretty busy, so give yourself some lead time if you have a hard deadline. Dale is very knowledgeable, responsive, accessible and easy to coordinate with. I find a lack of continuity with landscape architects on staff, so it is helpful for you to have an idea of what you like or want when it comes to designing a space. I always keep a project plan with detailed notes and make progress updates. Credit card payment is not accepted.”

“Pristine Acres has been a preferred business partner of IDA for several years now and has continued to perform outstanding work for our clients time after time. Mr. Steve Waldron and staff are professional; detail oriented individuals whose commitment to quality and client satisfaction is among the best. We do not hesitate to recommend this firm to our clients.”

“I recently had the great opportunity to collaborate with Jennifer and our clients on a wonderful project in Bethesda. The work included the renovation of a ground-level kitchen and family room and the development of adjacent outdoor living space and gardens, including an outdoor kitchen designed by Jennifer and her team. The ease of flow and connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces was a key component of the scheme. Jennifer has a great collaborative spirit and knows her plants. Her work is beautiful!”

“The Hoppy Team treats you like family. They are professional, extremely knowledgeable, and communicative. The peace that comes with knowing the best interest of your family and your home is being looked after is invaluable. We love hiring them! -Fairfax, VA”

“We hired Landis Garden Design to renovate our back garden, which had become overgrown and unappealing. We replaced the shaded scraggly lawn with a wonderful hardscape patio, removed the overgrown plantings, and started over. We could not be more pleased with the result and with Landis Garden Design. Tomi is an accomplished multi-tasker. She works quickly, efficiently and collaboratively and fulfills all promises. She created an excellent design and chose beautiful and interesting plant materials. Our back is so much more open and inviting.”

“Not only did Clara pick out the perfect plants for my yard, she created a plan and completely changed my flower beds into something beautiful to look at. She has such a great eye and is very knowledgeable about plant varieties and environments. Her professionalism and expertise are definitely worth hiring her for!”

“MLA was hired to completely re-do our back yard in our Capitol Hill row house. They did a wonderful job. They were prompt, courteous, and provided thoughtful and creative concepts. They followed through with meticulous drawings, recommended contractors, and provided supervisory service when necessary. Highly recommended!”

“Maryann was great to work with - she listened to what I wanted and worked to incorporate my personal style/preferences. She went above and beyond in ensuring the work was completed and even jumped in to help out herself (in addition to managing the overall work). She was flexible as things changed throughout the course of the project, she provided a great roadmap at the start (her landscape design was lovely!), and she was very knowledgeable about what plants/landscape was needed specific to my yard and concerns (water issues, etc). I would definitely recommend her!”

“I am a client of Love & Carrots and I highly recommend their installation and garden coaching services. When I first reached out to Love & Carrots, Meredith arranged a meeting at my home in a timely fashion. She really listened to what I wanted to gain from gardening. When I needed to postpone scheduling installation due to unforeseen circumstances, Meredith was very flexible. The installers were friendly and respectful of my home and property. I also use Love & Carrots biweekly for garden coaching from spring to fall. My coach, Morgan, is extremely knowledgeable and very easy going. Meredith, Morgan, and the other Love & Carrot employees with whom I have spoken/worked are passionate about gardening and excited for their clients to experience growing their own food. I also like that they work with elementary schools to teach children about gardening. I feel very valued as a Love & Carrots client, if I ever have questions, my emails/phone calls are addressed in a timely fashion. My vegetable garden has become a passion and I can't imagine the experience being as rewarding if I were not working with Love & Carrots.”
