In addition replaced my retaining wall and took ivy off a big oak tree. Provided additional plants creating a border garden along side of the retaining wall and providing grass seed to help my bare green space turn green. Mowed my now green lawn as part of the whole package. All done at a reasonable cost. I highly recommend Yard by Yard Makeovers.

The cost was comparable to other proposals we got, but the care they took was what makes me recommend to anyone. And why I'll use them again for the next phase of our landscaping!

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.
