West Landscaping is hands down the best. They show up when scheduled and do an excellent job and in this area that is hard to find. Mr. West recently did our yard right before pictures to list our home and he could not have been more helpful with suggestions on how to make the home show even better. He even came back the morning before the pics to have the guys tidy up the yard again. Just love him and will miss him once we move. read more

West Landscape should get 6 stars for the work they just completed on our overgrown, weedy, hard-to-maintain yard and gardens. Chris West combines excellent design vision with practical, efficient landscape improvements. Thanks to him, our gardens have emerged, Cinderella-like, from tangled overgrowth into beauty. As another reviewer noted, his work crew is amazing. They work harder and are more highly skilled than any other crew I've known in the past 25 years of gardening. Chris and his crew stay in sync with scheduling, delivery of materials, and completion of the job. His prices are fair, and I found him easy to talk with about both cost and plans. We will continue to hire West Landscape for maintenance and mowing. read more

I have been living in my home in Hume Springs for 14 years. My yard has given me such a sense of pleasure and accomplishment. As background, I moved into my home in 2010--the yard foliage was sparse (if any) and anything that was in the yard was dead had to removed. So, I started to work on the yard with various projects each year. Somehow, I found West Landscapes and used them for weekly mowing. We then started doing twice yearly clean ups in Spring and Fall we began collaborating on plantings. Chris West advised me where I should put plants, where they would grow better, etc. Last year, at the fall cleanup, Mr. West suggested we move some of my salvia and replace some plants that I put in 2010. The salvia has never looked better than it does today. Most recently, I was throwing a party and wanted my yard to look pristine. He came to my rescue the week before the party. We did the regular Spring clean-up and West recommended power washing my patio, putting sand in between the flagstone and suggested we remove some plants and replace them. We put in some heirloom roses (blue moon) which we put in the front flower bed and added some more knock out roses along my walkway. All-in-all this process has evolved to a wonderful collaboration between Chris West and me. He knows his stuff, has a wonderful staff that works with him and if anyone is looking for a great landscape company, I would recommend West Landscapes whole heartedly. read more

By far the best experience I have ever had. As a Realtor, I've worked with a lot of contractors, and at times feel like one as well. This is why I'm so pleased to share my experiences... I was first introduced to West Landscape through a mutual friend, and active client of mine. My client purchased a beautiful home in Beverly Hills, Alexandria. House was beautiful, but the yard was too much for a family with 3 young kids. West came in with a vision that transformed that home from a hidden gem into the talk of the town. Truly a piece of art! On a personal level, West helped design my backyard into a stunning retreat in the heart of Fairfax County. We purchased our new home with a pool and land in the middle of COVID, which was great for kids over the summer, but maintaining was a never ending battle. My husband likes to mow the lawn and takes pride in ownership. I despise pulling weeds, blowing leaves and trimming bushes in the lack of spare time I have between work and family. West not only TRANSFORMED my backyard into a BEAUTIFUL OASIS, but made it manageable and practical for my family's lifestyle! Beyond a backyard that is beautiful to look at, West has given me the gift of more time with my family (and less pulling weeds) by designing a thoughtfully laid out plan that we can keep up with. His team is truly phenomenal to watch in action. They are the hardest working team I've experienced in my professional and personal career. Respectful and have excellent attention to detail. West and his team ensured to go above any beyond to address items in my yard that would make an added impact. I highly recommend to both my friends and clients any chance I have! read more

This was a total transformation - I barely recognized my own yard! The overgrowth, tall shrubs, and weeds were too much for me to manage, and the West team somehow made it into a lovely, neat, clean space. I love all the work in the front yard and back yard; the edging and weeding were precise and impressive. It really is impressive and I'll be a repeat customer. read more

Hired West to redo my backyard. Gave up halfway through and paid them for the cleanup work they'd done and hired a new company. My yard originally had three trees, and I wanted a small shade tree planted to replace the largest one. The owner agreed, then backtracked after they'd taken the tree out and kept telling me that my yard was too small for a tree, even though neighbors in the adjoining houses have the same type of tree I wanted, as does my smaller front yard, and it's smaller than the tree that had been there originally. His solution to having turned my yard into a shadeless oven was to tell me to get an umbrella. New landscaper was baffled about why West wouldn't actually plant anything, but fortunately I already have the ball rolling on the backyard I actually wanted. read more

West Landscaping is phenomenal! The owner dispatched six workers who set about doing a yard cleanup very efficiently. They worked so well together! They treated my property (and me!) with respect and did very high-quality work. Mr. West had creative solutions to some yard issues I was having, and was so easy to work with. I've had prior landscapers damage my property and rip up perennials-not so with West Landscaping. It's a great company! read more

Great service and beautiful landscaping. I used a competitor for four years before switching to Chris West last year. The difference is night and day-- Chris provides me with suggestions tailored for our yard and he absolutely takes pride in the work that he and his team provides. He treats my yard like it is his own yard. I am usually home when the team comes to work on our yard and I see the same guys every week, which means I'm getting consistent care. My front yard is blooming and gorgeous- we receive compliments from neighbors and passersby several times a week. A neighbor referred to our yard as "the jewel of the street." read more

We've used West Landscapes for weekly mowing and lawn maintenance for many years and have been extremely happy with them. Recently we hired them to clean up our entire yard - removing ivy, trimming over grown shrubs, removing many weed trees, power washing our porch and the front of our house and trimming trees. The team was able to start the same day and finished all the work in two days. The team was extremely professional and worked very hard. They hauled away all the trees, branches, and ivy that was removed, dug out the roots of the trees and laid down dirt so everything looks great after they were done. The work exceeded our expectations and was completed within the estimate provided. We will definitely hire them again. read more

I noticed West Landscaping working on my neighbors yard, and had to run out to get their information because they did such a good job at the neighbors property. My yard was in much worse shape. Weed infested yard, overgrown bushes, etc. Typical neglect. Within 2 days West Landscaping was at my house and completely transformed my yard. Thanks so much! 10/10 would suggest their landscaping services. read more

If we could rate negative stars we would. This landscaping company (if you can call it that) was hired to clean up the yard next to us in Del Ray. They never once asked us if they could park in our driveway yet had their truck and equipment there. They also couldn't seem to finish the small front and back 10x10 yard in one day (Thursday for 6 hours). They had to come back and start 3 leaf blowers and a lawn mower at 0700 on Friday. I cannot believe anyone would pay these mindless idiots for a service. read more
