They didn't just create a garden--they nurtured a legacy. From the first consultation, Love & Carrots approached our home with heart, care, and creativity. They listened. They understood what we needed. What emerged wasn't just an installation--it was a soulful beautifully organized transformation. Our backyard now bursts with joy: vibrant tomatoes, lush kale, fragrant herbs, and even bees that gift us fresh honey. But the most beautiful bloom? My 85-year-old mother's radiant smile. Her biweekly garden sessions bring her peace, presence, and purpose. They even installed two gorgeous rain gardens--eco-beauty with intention. Every element was tailored with excellence. If you're thinking about Love & Carrots--don't hesitate. They are not just gardeners. They are healers of homes and stewards of joy. The value of their service is worth their weight in gold. With gratitude, Erica J. read more

Love and Carrots made our 2025 summer extra special. Not only did they do build us a vegetable garden in the perfect spot in our yard, but they designed and planted the vegetables so that we had easy access and success in caring for the garden. This year, we are very excited about the spring vegetables and flowers planted by Mikyla Reta. Everyone at Love and Carrots has been easy to work, and more than happy to assist us with our questions and help us learn how to become suburban farmers of a small garden. I highly recommend their services. read more

I needed to address soil erosion on my property near the community-run-off culvert, so I contacted Love and Carrots. They created a design within my budget using native plants, including a rain garden to manage roof runoff and a strategy to address soil erosion at the culvert. The installation team just finished the rain garden yesterday. I am very happy with the finished project. I highly recommend Love and Carrots. They deliver on time, with quality, and at an affordable price. read more

We have been using their services for years: front yard and backyard designs and planting, as well as building our fence. We have a large vegetable garden, and Love and Carrots maintains it for us throughout the year. Our garden is super productive, looks beautiful, and helps us eat healthy. We have worked with many of their farmers and other professionals, and they have all been great. Highly recommend! read more

Had a fantastic experience with Love & Carrots. We were looking for an overhaul of the front and side yard of our row house, and the team delivered everything we were hoping for -- essentially a flower garden. We are so excited to see all of the flower varieties bloom! Everyone that we worked with -- Alison, Hannah, and the planting team -- were responsive and professional, adjusting the design of the garden to suit our requests and answering our questions knowledgeably. Highly recommend! read more

This was a really great experience and I am so happy to have found Love & Carrots. I have already had one person walking by my garden ask for a referral and happily gave it. They were great in every way. read more

Had a phenomenal experience working with Love & Carrots for my new raised bed garden. This was the 3rd or 4th contractor I received a quote from and have been researching solutions for over a year. It's clear the team at Love & Carrots is knowledgeable and dedicated. They provided amazing customer customer service, resources, ideas and most importantly a seem less execution of the final product! read more

This small business definitely deserves your attention! we contracted them to install a large, raised-bed garden with stone pathway and arbor over the entrance. We also had them install a special underground fence to keep out the resident groundhog and tall fencing to keep out the deer. They were very responsive to all of our detail-oriented questions. The quality of their work, especially the higher end details, exceeded our expectations. The level of craftsmanship of their crew is outstanding. They worked hard and brought joy. We truly believe they were worth every dollar. Excellent value! read more

The L&C team was responsive, thorough, and professional. They built a retaining wall for me that looks great!

Heard a lot of good things about this company but was very disappointed. I paid for a "consultation" to design a flower garden for my balcony and was ready to give them carte blanche. But Love & Carrots told me AFTER accepting the consultation that they did not want to maintain a balcony garden because it was for flowers, not vegetables. Love & Carrots charged me several hundred dollars for a "design consultation" that included a layout of Veradek planters that would have leaked on my neighbor's balcony below. The planters they chose don't even come with trays. For me, this was a disappointing waste of money and time. read more

Amazing experts when it comes to designing, building, and maintaining a sustainable organic garden. A++++. 5 Star. After 20+ years of hit or miss results with our happy homeowner garden, my wife, the gardener, decided we needed to call the experts and renovate our tired vegetable garden. We were very lucky to come across Love & Carrots. We have been so impressed with the knowledge and professionalism of the entire Love & Carrots organization from the very first consultation to the final build. They incorporated our request into their proven design. Moreover, Love & Carrots addressed some key features into the design elements such as incorporating an irrigation system into the vegetable beds and fencing to both address alpha deers and tunneling critters. The crew and workmanship is superb. My old garden and fencing was carefully removed and the sod for the new footprint was salvaged with a special machine. All the posts, lumber, and gate hardware was of highest quality. Cedar was used boxes and perimeter edging boards. Everything was squared and leveled. Meticulous workmanship. I could easily build a barn over the structure Solid carpentry work. I highly recommend Love & Carrots. Very happy in our final decision making process we decided not to go with a conventional landscaping or fencing company. Thank you to everyone at Love & Carrots. Thanks. Kam read more

I have worked with Love & Carrots on landscaping in front of my business for years, and recently partnered with them for a large job at my home. I was completely blown away by the work they did designing and installing a truly magical woodland garden. From the consultation through the design and execution, they were prompt, professional, creative and receptive to input. They created a garden that perfectly fits our needs while honoring our environmental intentions. The installation was efficient, and the team could not have been more wonderful or professional. Love & Carrots is a business that acts with integrity and consistently exceeds expectations. It's also woman owned and run. read more

Never showed up to our consultation appointment after I rearranged my schedule to make the time that THEY suggested work. Not cool, and bizarre considering they wanted to charge for the consult. But good to know from the get go that reliability is an issue. Disappointing because I've been a fan for years and was excited to work with them. read more

I will certainly call on them again. I don't know diddly about things like gardening. I lived in apartments for most of my life. This lmade it hard for me to explain what I wanted, and led to a wobbly start. I'm committed to using native plants when possible, and providing a decent environment for native animals. So Love and Carrots' core values meshed with mine. The first project was just finished - the development of a pollinator's meadow and shade/rain garden. The area is part of a slope that heads into Sligo Creek, so erosion is a concern. The team was small and accomplished way more than I expected could be done in two days. They were terrific and taught me a few things as well. Two days after they left, we had some heavy rain - and the entire new area held up far better than I dared to hope. Can you wonder why I want to work with them again... read more

Love and Carrots installed a new garden in my front and back yard this spring and I can't say enough good things about them. Meredith initially came out to see our space and listened to all of my scattered thoughts about rocks and succulents and native pollinators. She designed a space so beautiful that our neighbors have also started using her services, and everyone who walks by asks for her card. And in our backyard, Meredith designed a perimeter of vegetable boxes and we've been eating out of them for weeks. Meredith's team was professional, fast, clean and courteous. read more

I love Meredith and Love and Carrots. Staff is attentive and timely. I grew a rich and varied garden with record breaking amounts if vegetables. They amount of service and diverse plantings every two weeks had me excited to grow more and share. I'm so happy. read more

We had the great fortune of finding Love & Carrots, and are thrilled with our new garden! As consumers what matters to us is great customer service, quality workmanship and value. Love & Carrots not only delivered on all counts, but they far exceeded our hopes and expectations. We were impressed with them from the first visit when Meredith came for a site visit and was immediately able to determine the best location for the garden, as well as how to manage soil pH conditions.There are a lot of moving parts after the initial assessment, and the office staff was always enthusiastic, professional and responsive. There was a lot of back-and-forth to help us figure out what would work best for us, and they never tired of researching alternatives for us to consider and offering helpful advice. For installation, the plant beds were expertly built, and the team measured everything carefully, using levels and taking extreme care to make everything perfect, including the installation of the dual-channel irrigation system. The extra effort shows. Because we live in a neighborhood with old-growth trees, we have a limited area where there is enough sun for the garden. That spot happens to be in our front yard, so we cared a great deal about how the garden would look. We were so excited to see the result, and are very proud of our garden! We have more kinds of vegetables than I have had in the past, so I opted to have coaching this season. I had my first session with Morgan this morning and learned so much within the space of 1.5 hours - she's amazing! We also enjoyed the first fruits of our harvest for dinner. There's nothing like the freshness of just-picked produce. This experience is quickly becoming the highlight of our summer! read more

Love & Carrots installed our new backyard garden last summer, and it has had a very positive effect on our lives. We produced so much food that the biggest challenge was not wasting it. We also signed up for Garden coaching. Extremely helpful and very fun and interesting for our entire family, especially the kids. Absolutely nothing but positive things to say about Love & Carrots products, staff, and customer service read more

Meredith and her team are knowledgeable and do what they say. In just a few months, L&C has transformed our "we should turn our backyard into a garden" talk, into a productive vegetable garden and manageable flower garden that we enjoy. From design, through installation, and now with maintenance and coaching, L&C's friendly and effective team just gets it done. Meredith's planning dovetailed well with our desired approach to eat in season and right from the backyard. Last year we could barely keep pots alive during the summer and now we feel like gardeners. The coaching is laid back and fun, but the knowledge is real and the bi-weekly repetition is comfortable, reassuring, and effective. As a facility maintenance expert, I've seen a LOT of contractors over the years, and it makes me wish I still managed commercial space, because L&C would be my first call. It's so nice to have a contractor who shows up on time; does what they say they will do; and then charges a fair price for their hard work. If you want more from your green space, contact Love & Carrots. They'll make a difference. read more

Great service and a good price. I really like Love & carrots, they are very professional and good at it. The farmers are excellent, they are responsible, kind, you'll never have a problem with them. They've been to my kid school and did an amazing job in the school garden. That's the proof of how good is their service. I'd recommend 100% Love & carrots. read more

I LOVE Love & Carrots. I had been wanting to put an organic garden in my backyard for some time. Unfortunately, there were two impediments to that: (1) I am not at all handy enough to design and install the beds themselves, hook up irrigation, etc.; and (2) I had no idea what to actually do once the garden was in, as my prior gardening experience was limited to throwing some herbs in pots and seeing what didn't die. Enter Love & Carrots, who designed and built me beautiful raised beds and are teaching me how to garden! I meet with my garden coach twice a month, and learn so much every time. My garden is growing beautifully and I've gotten tons of delicious veggies from it already. read more

If you really want a garden that produces so much that you even have extra produce for friends, have Love and Carrots help you!!! Natalie has made our garden spectacular! For years we had a garden and it was always hit or miss on what grew and what didn't and everything that did grow had to be harvested all at once. Now our garden is healthy, every week we have a great amount to harvest and the variety is amazing. Natalie has taught me how to really garden and I can do as much or as little as I choose. Natalie is really great in explaining the whys and whats of gardening. Love and Carrots has been a wonderful partner and I highly recommend anyone interested in having a great garden to work with them whether they want to be gardeners or just have a garden. read more

Love & Carrots - Our garden thanks to Love and Carrots - Landscaping Near Me

If you want a beautiful and unique garden look no further than Love and Carrots. Meredith and her team will create and transform your backyard or deck into a productive and useful space. How nice to just walk out your door and know that you can cut some salad greens, pick peas or dig up some potatoes. It doesn't get any fresher (or easier) than that. Three years ago Meredith designed a rooftop garden for us with troughs and pots filled with vegetables, herbs, fruits and flowers. Love and Carrots transformed a rather uninteresting space into a stunningly beautiful and relaxing area to sit and relax. I only wish I had a larger backyard for Love and Carrots to fill with more fruits and vegetables. They really are the best. read more

I am starting my fifth year as a Love & Carrots client. During this time, they have installed raised bed gardens at two houses. I can't say enough about this company. The founder/owner, Meredith, is incredible and truly cares about client feedback. I adore my garden coach, as do other clients who work with him. The office staff is always friendly and extremely responsive. I had an all women team handle my new garden this week, from the design to the installation. It was a very positive experience. I've also referred a friend who became a client and is equally as happy with the company. read more

Love & Carrots has worked with our homeschool, City Kids Cooperative, for a year now, and we are so grateful to be working with them. They have been very generous with their time and resources, which made it possible for our small school, with almost no budget, to have a garden. The farmers are always professional and kind with the kids, which means a lot to us. When we wanted to cut costs and build some extra beds ourselves, they helped us by giving us specs and information on building materials. Their gardening practices are organic, and we have grown some impressive veggies: cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, kale, collard greens, and more. I HIGHLY recommend Love & Carrots--their gardening practices are ethical and good for the environment. They are a solid, local business worth supporting. read more

Starting our Love & Carrots garden is one of the best changes we have made in our lifestyle and habits as a family. There's nothing like being able to snip a couple stalks of fresh delicious kale for your morning smoothie. Thank you Natalie! read more

Love and Carrots designed and installed a beautiful 10 bed community garden at one of our residential properties in Southeast D.C. The residents have been raving about the beautiful addition to their community. In addition to installing the gardens, Love and Carrots has been tending the gardens. They changed their schedule so that more members of the community could participate and help and as a result the community is energized and excited about the gardens. We have been very lucky to have Love and Carrots as partners. read more

Meredith has been helping me with my garden for a few years now and I have never been happier. They come every two weeks and help me plant, weed, and even harvest my garden. This year Gavin worked on my garden - he was very knowledgable and dependable. My garden yield was tremendous. Thank you Love & Carrots!! read more
