Independence Landscaping was contracted with VDOT for snow removal in the Lorfax neighborhood during the January 2026 snowstorm. Snow removal was difficult due to the amount of snow and the icing that followed combined with extreme cold. Lorfax streets provided additional challenges. I had the pleasure of meeting Eswin Yanes Perez who was working as a plow operator. Eswin, despite having worked long days under difficult conditions, committed to clearing Wells Road. Eswin took pride in his craft and cleared the road all the while taking care not to block in driveways! A fantastic job by Eswin, and Independence Landscaping. As a realtor in the area, I have opportunity to recommend companies to clients and often find myself in a position to recommend landscapers and similar professionals. If the entire company is as good as Eswin, Independence is on the top of my list! read more

Requested estimate and the acreage they quoted was a lot more than we have. Rey expensive

I requested weekly lawn care for our 1/4 acre yard. I didn't ask for the package and they declined me service. I responded that I'd like a quote with the package and never heard back. Ive contacted another company for service. I'll make sure I request the quote properly. read more

1. When we started services this season (2024), your property was severely overgrown. While we respected your budget and time constraints, it wasn't possible to clean up and maintain everything as thoroughly as we'd prefer. We discussed this reality and agreed to a scope of work that would deliver the best results within those limits - both for the initial clean-up and ongoing maintenance. Because of the lawn's condition, we intentionally put on the contract to allow 12-24 months for full results from our Lawn Care Program. Given the proper amount of time, we have full confidence in our program. Like you commented to clarify. Did not expect the full results of the lawn care program to be within the six months which we were with your company, only expected if charging for pruning or mowing that on days for three hours they come and and do the work. Cameras, like you said, cannot capture the quality of the work but can capture if the workers were there the days charged. If the workers do not show up do you still stand by the quality of not showing up? I did not complain about the quality of work, when it was done. But cameras do capture if someone is outside on the days the bill said they should have come. Or would that not show up on cameras? Guess motion sensors and infrared was not in the workers knowledge. Not parking in front of the house was not the issue but being here doing the work that we were being charged was the reason for the post., So getting close to $11000 for six months not doing any work. was not good for us but great for your workers since the company got paid anyways. Andrew reached out and said he would come out with the crew and like your response, a month went by almost' maybe two or three weeks, so when I did not see him or get a call from him, I posted the post, after receiving another bill for work not done in the last month for $1300, I posted this review and cancelled the service Longevity and trust will keep with your longtime customers most likely but hopefully you keep your trust and longevity with the new customers by not picking and choosing which ones you have to take care of with the actual work you promise to do. Like I said to anyone one here do not trust my review or the response but go to your own cameras and look for yourselves if the workers are coming the number of days and hours you are being charged for. Best wishes in the future. read more

I began this year by changing the company that does weed and feed for my lawn and the results are remarkable. Through several years I noticed my lawn deteriorating with increased weeds and dying grass. So far this year all I can say is Independence Landscape has made a huge improvement. I can see the wiregrass dying out and the remaining grass markedly improved. Excellent service. So glad I made the change. read more

Ben, Connor, and the entire Independence Landscape Team are absolute masters at their craft and some of the most professional, responsive individuals I've ever worked on a project with. The job included designing/redoing our frontyard bed, installing downspouts, building a 330 square foot backyard patio bordered by a dry creek, installing natural stone steps leading up to the patio, and designing/executing new backyard landscape beds. Our backyard - which is on a slope and not a huge space to begin with - looks out onto a shared driveway. Given that, my wife and I struggled with how to create a sense of privacy in our backyard without having a fence installed. Of all the professionals we met with initially, Ben, our Project Manager and Connor, who did a lot of the design work, had the clearest vision of how to get it done. Both were mindful and in tune with what was important to my wife and I. Both were creative in working within the parameters of our space to deliver what is in my opinion, the very best job that anyone could have done. Big credit to the the teams that came out and did the work as well, Cheto included. The results are stunning and my wife and I couldn't be happier. read more

Brandon and the rest of the Independence Landscape & Lawn Care team have been excellent. While their price was slightly higher than the other companies, the time and effort put into their quote knew you would get quality work. The team came out and did the job of redoing our backyard. We are also on their treatment plan and couldn't be happier. Brandon has been excellent at answering all my questions and concerns. read more

We've had a great experience with Independence so far, and I've never even had any face-to-face interaction with them! One of the staff members came to check out our home and was able to provide us with a quote as well as recommended lawn treatments since we had new sod laid out from the builders. Our lawn is mowed and treated while we're at work on a bi-weekly basis. Their prices are also fair compared to other companies that I looked at that service our area. Additionally, the front office charges us once a month for services and provides with an invoice through email for our credit card prior to charging. Thank you for making our lives easier with one of the responsibilities of homeownership! read more

I must say at the outset that I do VERY few of these reviews. I may have done three in the past 10 years, but that could be an exaggeration. I must also say that I have VERY high standards for excellence. (See also above for cause and effect.) I am doing one at this time for Independence Landscape and Lawn Care because they recently exceeded my expectations. I started using them years ago to take care of my lawn, and progressed to having them do pest and disease management for all of my trees and shrubbery. More recently, I had them do a spring face lift of my yards, front and back. Before their work, neither was visible thanks to the weeds, vines, fallen leaves, and miscellaneous invasive who-knows-what that had found a home in the landscaping rocks. The backyard now looks as if it had been newly landscaped, and the front is so beautiful no one any longer thinks the property has been abandoned. It's also important to note that Independence Landscape is exceptionally knowledgeable, professional, and responsive. Whether I am requesting a quote for new work or simply have a question, my rep Brandon always returns my call quickly. For all of the above reasons, I am giving them a 5-star rating. I would talk to Independence Landscape and Lawn Care any time you are considering landscaping or maintenance work. read more

We have been a year round customer of their weed and feed service for a year or more when last year we added aeration and seed. Not cheap. They do not tell u when they are coming for any service and this service was no different. They appeared in August in the heat to seed. We complained. They told us we had a sprinkler system so that is why we can plant earlier than fall. Turned out to be awful and they reseeded. This year we preempted and said don't come until late Sept or October. They agreed and 3 days later we catch them in our yard aerating and seeding. We told them that they shouldn't burden us with extra cost of running our sprinkler so they can come in August and fit their other customers in the fall. They said they would come out and look to reseed but now they refuse to do it and our yard has never looked worst. They came and looked and blamed it on our lawnmower. They have lost our business because we want a lawn service on our schedule. read more

After having received continued care and dedicated customer service from Independence Lawn and Landscape for the past several years, I happily renewed my lawn services contract with them once again. And have been very impressed with the responsive customer service received from my Account Manager, Kyle Bernstein. When the tree trimmers recently arrived to trim my Crepe Myrtle, he was right here communicating my concerns on which branches could safely be removed....to ensure a better shaped tree this summer! And this is just the start of the additional Spring Yard work now scheduled to be completed, before grass mowing days start. Happy to know once again am in the good hands of Independence Lawn Services for all my lawn care. Thank you! Liz H. read more

We have been very happy with how fast & professional Jon has been to address our concerns. We have lawn aeration, seeding, fertilization, & weed control services . When the weeds began dying there were many brown areas in the yard, so we were discouraged! Jon responded to our text & pictures quickly & assured us this was the desired effect & green grass would fill in the brown areas. So happy we were patient, as the yard is beginning to look so much better! Now the green is really grass, not weeds!!! Looking forward to seeing a beautiful yard this spring! Thank you, Jon! read more

I have been using Independence for about 5 years, and can't speak highly enough of them. They brought my patchy, dead lawn back to life after I bought the house, and have kept it lush, healthy, and weed free since day 1. There's actually a stark line between my lawn & my neighbor's, so you can tell their products & expertise is working. I have had several neighbors with lawn envy ask who I use, and come on board as clients. I used them very recently for a large landscaping project, and couldn't be happier with the work. I was kept informed, the work was done to a high standard, and the materials used were of high quality. The drainage system is top notch and working well, and the retaining wall is very solid. The crews that worked on the job were polite, and cleaned up after each day. Chad is an amazing guy, I can't recommend him highly enough. It's so obvious that he takes personal pride in the job he and his guys do; he's got skin in this game. He is always prompt to answer my questions & requests, explains things clearly, and went above & beyond by working directly with my HoA to get the landscape plans approved. He's never tried to upsell me, and I think I've been treated nothing but fairly by him and this business. The front office ladies are wonderful. They also answer questions & concerns quickly, and are always professional and cheerful. Having them call ahead so I know when to make sure the landscapers can get in is clutch, and it helps that they have an online billing and payment system. This is a great, personable, and professional business. Would not hesitate to use them for any landscaping and care I needed. read more

I was was very worried and somewhat skeptical of Independence Landscape when my former Lawn Care Service provider (Green Blades/ Spiro) decided to get out of the business and move on to better things three months ago. Independence has picked up the ball and exceeded my expectations at every turn. From my account manager, Brandon Caycedo to the lawn care team led by David they have been truly outstanding. Brandon came to my house at my request before service begin to learn about the unique nature of my yard (wet areas, gate, etc) and my expectations. He passed on all that information to the lawn service team and they have excelled and performed flawlessly. They are hard working, knowledgeable and extremely courteous. Thanks for the great job. I have recommended your services to my neighbor and you are now providing their lawn services too. Great Job!!! read more

I just stopped to gas up our car and ran into one of your crews. Several young men in a truck with your logo pulling a trailer full of yard equipment. They were chatting to each other in Spanish, saw us, stopped and greeted us with a "hello" and "how are you?" Wow! You never see folks around here, stop what they are doing, and ask us how we are! I don't use you...but let me tell you...if I need anything yard related YOU have my business now! What an asset to your company! Their kindness made our day! Huge thanks! read more

I cannot come with enough good things to say about Independence Landscape. Not only does our lawn look incredible but their customer service is fantastic and what separates them from the competition. Curt and Team are always willing to answer questions in a highly responsive manner. The same Team services our yard each year, meaning that they know our property. They remember us, they answer questions and are incredibly friendly. The entire Independence operation goes the extra mile to make sure to make sure we feel appreciated and that we are getting incredible service and value. read more

Martin and crew came by on Monday, 12 Sept 22 and did a great job. The crew was extremely professional and went above and beyond in caring for my yard. RFrazier read more

This was my first experience with a landscaping company and I'm quite pleased with the results. Independence installed sod in my small (under 300 square feet) back yard, and mulched some designated areas in the front. The crew worked diligently for several hours and the back is transformed from scruffy weed growth and bare dirt to a lush green carpet. Meanwhile, the areas in front are now ready for planting and other lawn decor. My point of contact, Jon, negotiated scheduling the work around several days of bad weather and had the sod installed the same day the company received it. I signed up for a monthly maintenance plan and look forward to having help me keep the grass healthy through the coming months. read more

Great job. My prior company went out of business and I called Independence Landscaping. They were responsive and added me to their rotation immediately. My yard is happy and beautiful! read more

Ben Rupert was instrumental in providing a landscape plan in several areas in my yard that sorely needed attention. In the back yard, a tree that had been there for over 30 years had to be removed, and it left a desolate area. The large electrical box in front of this area was even more apparent without the tree. When entering the yard from the gate, there was nothing that was welcoming. Ben came up with a plan, and his team implemented it beautifully. There were other areas in the yard that also needed attention, and with Ben's help, each were improved more than I could have ever imagined. His team removed my existing paver walkway from the extension of the driveway, hauled away the debris, extended and buried the below grade downspout into the back of the property and installed concrete sand to level and finished the back walkway with Techo-Bloc Eva Pavers. He installed River Jack Stone so that the water from the downspout would help alleviate drainage issues. He created a landscape bed and installed a Forest Pansy Redbud tree and decorative grass around the electrical box. Ben also improved other landscape beds and installed Techo-Bloc Edge Stone around them. The beds were cleaned, and mulch was installed. And finally, in the front of the house Ben's team removed the old Azalea bushes, installed new soil, and installed Camellia bushes and mulch to finish it. I could not be more pleased with the crew's professionalism and craftsmanship. I highly recommend Ben Rupert and the Independence Landscape & Lawn Care Team. read more

This was one of the first calls we made when we moved into our new house. I used them at my old house after noticing that the best looking lawns in the neighborhood usually had their signs in the yard! After just one season, they've worked a remarkable transformation in the lawn! We've still got some problems areas we need to address. But we're so pleased with how much healthier the lawn looks now and are looking forward to building on that progress next year. Also a huge shout out to our account representative, Mark Haller. He's quick to respond, addresses our needs, and proposes creative solutions when we've raised unusual issues. He's not a one-size-fits-all kind of guy. And we really appreciate his flexibility and client-centered approach. Highly recommend! read more

So, earlier this year we signed up for weekly mowings with Independence . Chad was extremely attentive to our special requests to not cut when the grass is wet, to cut to a height of no less than 3" and to blow 3 certain hardscape areas that affect drainage. Two weeks in a row their team has cut us flawlessly. They are very respectful of our property and work fast and efficiently to perfection. Can't say enough good things about Independence Landscape & Lawn Care. Use them with confidence. (And no, I am not related to anyone in the company!) read more

I have tried at least 5 other landscapers or landscaping companies and NONE have come close to Chad at Independence. He and his team are experienced, informative, reliable, and honest. Chad is up front with you and really connects with you on ideas for what is best for YOUR yard. If you are looking for a professional landscaping company with whom you have an actual relationship with and not just a guy that mows the lawn and is out, then Independence is who you should call. read more

Doesn't take the time to provide tailored treatments to each lawn. Killed all of our young grass, leaving large brown patches all over the yard. Worse off than when we started, but they're more than happy to take your money. Can't recommend. read more

Excellent service from Chad and his crew. Prompt response to request for quote and beautiful design. Once we decided to use this company they walked us through every step and were thorough and responsive. The crew was respectful and showed up every day without fail. We had some minor issues after completion and independence didn't rest until is was solved. We are so happy with our back yard and wouldn't hesitate to use them again or to refer them to friends. read more

Great work in installing the new tree in my front yard! The crew was efficient and cleaned up after their work was completed.

Mark Haller is a trusted business leader and his estimates are fair. His team is so professional "the real deal" - on time - respectful of the property and honestly interested in improving the aesthetics of the property. Just so grateful to them for doing the heavy lifting on the work we need to make our property look it's best. Thank you! read more

We contracted with Independence Lawn Care for our lawn mowing, fertilizing, and seeding last year, also leaf removal. Andrew Meiser was the contact manager and he was great to work with, came out several times to make sure everything was going well. The office always responded quickly. Our lawn and edging always looked beautiful last year, and after the great lawn care program we had our lawn so far even though it is early in the season, it looks like it is going to look thick and really nice this year which is just what we were hoping for! read more

We used the company for early year tree removal and plant relocation, year-long lawn service, hardscaping, landscaping, mulching; it all started with us replacing a long standing lawn service, moving to Independence Landscaping and one thing led to another. Their service and quality of work has been outstanding. Their business model is to have an account manager (Brandon) who takes overall customer service responsibility no matter what services are involved; to us this consistent quality control and personal engagement is very valuable and enjoyable. He then brings in the key staff (Mark and Connor, hardscaping and landscaping design respectively) (Pablo, Jose and Francisco and their crews, hardscaping, landscaping and lawn service respectively). Among other things, this involved integrating new rock features and plants into a relatively mature setting; the work was beautiful and seamless and absolutely no damage to the grass and landscaped areas they had to work across. First class organization and service from Brandon and the team. read more

It went fantastic!!! The owner, Chad, was always professional, friendly and striving to please us. He answered all our questions, including those we posed as the project progressed. Addressed any and all requests. The company's landscapers and masonry workers delivered exceptionally high quality work. I will reach out to them to perform other work for me in the future. Description of work: I had a three level terrace made with timber replaced with stone masonry; backyard drainage replaced; mulch and SOD installed in the backyard; stone and timber stairs paralleling terrace replaced with stone and masonry; and gutters cleaned. read more

Beware. After I sold my house, I told the man who came by for service that I no longer owned it and would not require anymore service. He said he would call it into the office. Now four months later, they called me and are demanding payments for services that happened after I moved out. read more

I cancelled my service after they charged me for coming out three times in November, the last of which they just blew leaves into the corners of my yard. We have a small yard and I decided I no longer wanted to pay $45 for them to come into the yard for 10 minutes with the weed whacker. Customer service is friendly but they didn't seem interested in keeping me as a customer when I asked about the blowing leaves and told them I only noticed they came twice in November. Time to find a less expensive and more accommodating company. read more

I am really surprised at the 1 star ratings that Independence Landscape & Lawn have received on Yelp! I contacted Independence based on the very positive reviews they have on another review site. Mark made an appointment to come out and take a look at the lawn and our drainage problems so that he could provide an estimate. He was prompt, courteous, and very patient with me. He explained each step and set my expectations for the job. The job was completed in a timely manner, the work crew was also extremely courteous and prompt. We have additional work we plan to have done to our lawn and will definitely be contacting Independence for our needs! read more

This company is very responsive. The quick quote I received was reasonable. Jimmy provided outstanding recommendations to get the look I wanted to achieve within my budget. In addition, he thoroughly explained why the current tree was not helping my grass. I was happy to sign a contract that was tailored to my specific needs. After their first visit I instantly knew Independence Landscaping had been to my house! They gave me some serious curb appeal! I love their great attention to detail and second to none customer service! read more

No follow through. I made an appointment with them to discuss drainage issues on my 1/3 acre property and a design plan. I give them one star for showing up on time. Throughout, the guy who came out kept commenting on it being a big job. When I asked about an actual landscape design, it was clear he didn't have the interest or perhaps the credentials. He took my email address and said he would take measurements of the yard space and email me. It was the oddest interaction. He got in his truck and left. I haven't heard anything. I can only conclude that this company might be good to use for mulching and mowing, refresh some pavers, but I wouldn't trust them for anything more complicated. I wouldn't recommend them. It was a waste of my time. 18 Dec 14: It is now more than seven months after my appointment and request for an estimate from this company and they have finally contacted me. The contact is in response to my review on yelp and they provide a half hearted and passive aggressive apology and still no estimate. To me, this is an indication of the company's customer service ethics. All I can say is buyer beware! read more

We have used them for several different lawn care maintenance jobs. We used to have a big name company treating our lawn but found them unreliable and ineffective. Then we found independence landscape and lawn care. I never have to call up and ask them why they didn't show up and when are they going to show up. You pay after they have treated your lawn each time. They are quick, responsive, reliable and do a fantastic job. Their prices are competitive and often lower then other quotes I have gotten for the same job. I would definitely recommend them for any landscaping/lawn care job. read more

Curt and his team are very professional. I had them install a french drain at our building and they did a great job!

Just had Curt Greene at my house and hoo-boy! This guy was like talking to your teenage son, not the owner of a business. He was defensive and diffident and told me my trees had been "hacked" (which is true and why I set up the appointment with him). It was clear that Curt was intimidated by the situation and perhaps knew they didn't have the chops to handle this yard. If you don't mind having to treat your landscaper like a fragile orchid and you don't have any tree problems that need an experienced and knowledgeable expert managing them then I guess this could be your company. If not, ask for references so you can hear from people about their level of expertise and maturity! I've never had to post a negative review before today! read more

We walked through our neighborhood and found that the best looking lawn had a sign indicating that it was taken care of by Independence Landscape and Lawn. My husband called them, and they got back to us immediately and came in a few days to give us an estimate. Our crazy front yard required a major overhaul with dying trees and bushes that needed to be removed. Independence scheduled us in, and within a month we have a gorgeous new front yard! read more

Great company. I have been using them for 2 years now. They are very responsive, fair, and do a great job. One of their project managers (can't remember his name) was especially helpful scrambling to get our yard cleaned and re-mulched within a few days of asking them to help us get ready for an open house. Yard looked excellent. Lady answering the phones is always very polite. read more
