I appreciated how prompt Juan was in his communication, and he went back and forth with me several times to discuss approach and provide numerous options. I was especially impressed that he shared a mock photo showing how the new plants would look in my space, this was super helpful in really visualizing what the landscaping would look like and help me make a decision. We also had him do some power washing of concrete areas and a window well, and in the words of my husband these came out "hilariously clean". Definitely recommend him, and I look forward to working with him again.

I snapped a picture of their contact info and called Amy later. Unfortunately for us we are just outside of their service area but, fortunately for us, after explaining how many people I had tried she agreed to help us out. We are very lucky she did! The Pampered Garden has a gift for seeing what is possible, genuine care for you and your garden and responsive communication. We highly recommend them.

I rarely take the time to write reviews for products or services unless they are utterly…read moreexceptional or outright horrible. In the Fall of 2017 I had to redesign a large roof terrace and needed a wow factor end result. I contacted 3 very large DC based Landscaping Contractors to provide a new design for plantings, irrigation repairs, and eventually a maintenance contract. The first vendor proposed that I replace the same existing plantings that had died, the 2nd vendor proposed replacing the same existing plantings with the addition of a few new patches of Annual plantings (like pansies). The Pampered Garden was the only Contractor that supplied me with an extensive re-design with all new plantings to include annuals and perennials. To reduce the cost they proposed relocating existing thriving plants to other areas. The Owner (Amy) came to the site, stayed for about 2 hours to take pictures, soil samples, determine shade/sun areas, and discuss budget and ways to maximize perennial plantings with splashes of annual plantings. The Pampered Garden blew the other 2 vendors out the water and I was extremely pleased with the draft of the new design and pricing. I'm not an expert with plants, I can truly admit, but I did have 100% blind confidence in Amy's vision. Once everything was finalized it took her crew a few visits to complete the extensive demo of the old plants/shrubs and to complete the irrigation repairs. Keep in mind that the work schedule was dependent upon the weather so the date was pushed back a couple of times when the weather was horrible but I couldn't blame anyone on that because mother nature determined the schedule. I had several concurrent projects taking place in addition to the landscaping projects and the weather pushed back every schedule. The final plantings were completed at the end of October and I will admit that the vision wasn't quite there but I knew that things would be dormant over the Winter and that Spring would be the true test. Due to the cold weather up until April that plantings were still a little dormant. Come May and early June all of the perennial plants began to come alive and the first annual plantings were installed in June. Three words... "Utterly Marvelous & Breathtaking!" (Ok well 4 words). Any plantings that died for whatever reason over the Winter were replaced (no charge) and the roof terrace blossomed over the summer. I finally understood Amy's vision and it was gorgeous. About 10-15 different plants/shrubs were used and the height placement of the plants when fully grown and all of the deep color choices and shapes was an artistic vision. I wish I could articulate how beautiful everything looks. If you are on the fence about using The Pampered Garden for a redesign you shouldn't hesitate to use this company. Hands down one of the best landscaping design expertise's in DC. I plan on doing another redesign this Fall in a Plaza Area and look forward to seeing the end result come the Spring of 2019.

I have only good things to say about District Landscapes, and Sean, its proprietor. We hired them…read moreto redo the small tiered garden outside in front of our townhouse--redoing the tiers and rebuilding the stone retaining walls for each, taking out pretty much all the old (suffering) plants, and planting new and different plants, more suitable to the shady conditions. They did a great job with all of that, for a very reasonable price. Sean did his initial "visit" with us by Zoom, which was a little unusual but worked just fine. And everything after that was great--good communication, reliable scheduling, adaptability in the face of an unforeseen problem, and good work. We're very glad we chose them.

Cannot say enough good things about Derek and Thomas Landscapes. We have been customers for a…read moredecade, but I was prompted to write this due to his above-and-beyond recently by saving my boxwoods. If you have them, you know how long they take to mature and ours is a LONG hedge because we're on a corner. It would have been devastating (and expensive) to lose them, but Derek noticed a blight we never would have noticed or known about, treated them as part of his regular yard service, and they are healthy now, and amazing. (He also helped our crepe myrtle avoid that bark scale that was going around the city's crepe myrtles last year!) His crew is efficient, thorough, and kind. I LOVE the way my yard looks when they've finished. He also put in our back patio years ago, and created a pretty "sitting wall" on one side of it to define the space. Love, love, love.

I have never left a review of any type in my life. I'm writing this one because my experience with…read moreDerek has been beyond horrible, and I would not want anyone else to go through what I've gone through. We first approached Derek b/c an acquaintance had him landscape their backyard, and we liked the results and wanted something similar. When we met him, it was clear that he is an extremely talented gardener and a highly creative landscape designer. His prices were high (and he quoted some materials costs that were obvious lies), but we were excited about his vision and agreed to move forward. We give him a deposit of 1/3 the budgeted cost and were expecting to start in several weeks. Three months went buy. After a month of silence, he gave us a story about a toothache. And then Covid. Etc etc. We'd go weeks without hearing from him, and eventually I thought we'd just be out the deposit (In hindsight, that would been preferable). But then he resurfaced, we had a great conversation and put some detail behind our plan, and agreed to move forward. We got part of the project done. He put in an flagstone patio that was uneven. He planted a bunch of plants, none of which were on our agreed upon plant list. Fortunately I work from home, so I was able to run out and stop his crew from making the most egregious mistakes, like concreting in fencing posts in the wrong location. We made our second payment, against my better judgement, with the understanding that he'd fix some of these issues. We tried to finish the project, but after he ignored our last email and set of text messages, we just thought he'd dropped us. But then the invoices started showing up. Invoices for work he never did. When we tried to communicate with him about this, his line was that if we wanted anything additional it would be "extra." And then the emails, each one nastier and more threatening than the last. No matter how calmly or rationally we attempt to communicate with Derek, his responses are always mean, insulting, and threatening. If you own a home in DC, chances are you've had some crummy experiences with a contractor. (And hopefully some good ones - we definitely have!) Derek is next level awful. I would recommend that everyone stay away from him. If you do end up working with him, you should definitely do what others have recommended and get everything documented in writing, in detail. I pray your experience isn't as awful as ours has been.

Bevan provided an accurate quote in a timely manner and was responsive in executing the work. I was really impressed with the speed and thoroughness of their work. After the concrete was broken up by another contractor the exposed root that caused the damage was revealed. It was massive, approximately 8-12" diameter. After cutting down the trees, they used a stump grinder to grind down the stumps and then manually broke up the root and removed it. This was all done it two days. One day cutting down the trees and the next grinding the stumps and removing the roots. I hope to have them back later to do some landscaping to beautify my small back yard.
