We…read morehired them in the fall to do some work, asking for a low maintenance option for our front and back yard. They completely misled us on the scope of work for the back and planted the front in late fall, just as the weather turned cold. And the cost was astronomical! Now half the plants are dead because of the brutal winter even though I asked them if we were planting too late. And I'm spending all kinds of time and effort to keep the remaining plants alive. Low maintenance my @ss! And in the back, all the weeds and random plants they were supposed to eradicate are all coming back. I cannot stress enough how horrible they are.

They didn't just create a garden--they nurtured a legacy. From the first consultation, Love &…read moreCarrots 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.

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.

Very prompt in responding and kept us in the loop for all decisions and details. Highly recommend.read more

The downspouts in the back of my yard had no run from their termination points, and the one that…read moredid collapsed a few weeks ago. I contacted Nature's Friends to sort out my issues and Cliff was over at my house in no time. He talked through any prior water retention issues I had, and came up with a plan to future proof our house from any flooding that could happen with big storms. The crew were back out within a few days and executed the plan as Cliff specified. The laborers placed one of the pop-ups a little too close to the house, and without any intervention, the day-of-supervisor spoke with me to let me know they would extend it according to plan, and corrected everything. They also replaced my sump pump, which was not the easiest thing due to a seized grate closure (see pics), and at a fraction of the price quoted by plumbers. I was really impressed with how quick everything was completed, and for a job like this (digging long trenches to run PVC), my yard looks nearly immaculate. They gave me instructions to heal the grass patches so my lawn would look as it did before in no time. After the work was done, Cliff reached out to make sure all was working well when it rained. I highly recommend reaching out to Nature's Friend for any of your needs -- you can tell they really care about their customers, and I will be reaching out to them for any future landscaping needs.

Lyndsey, Francisco, and their team were great to work with. We worked with them for our driveway…read morerebuild, specifically a stone boundary that was unique in requiring careful attention for grading the stones correctly in order to ensure the subsequent asphalt paving created a road that moves the water in the correct direction (i.e. away from the house!). The team was very patient, understanding, and made adjustments/corrections as needed as they worked through the project. Speaking of adjustments, during the project we also decided to replace our brick entry with flagstones, which they accommodated fully and with equally careful attention to detail in laying the stones, and even with replanting plants (also days later reminded us to water them). We are very happy with the final results, and will be sure to ask them for helping us with any future stoneworks! Thanks Somerset Stoneworks!

We attempted to remove some ourselves but were quickly overwhelmed by the task. I researched native plant landscapers and came across Swamp Rose Co-op. After reaching out, Jeff, one of the owners, came to do a site visit. He was thorough in his presentation of plans and this February we had them come and do bamboo removal and plant some native trees and shrubs to act as a privacy screen. The Swamp Rose team was amazing! They pulled out over 2 tons of bamboo and roots! They planted native trees and shrubs which are thriving. Our backyard woodland meadow dreams are coming true. We have the team coming back in a few weeks to rip out the standard plants seen in the Silver Spring area (liriope, lilies, weeds) to replace with a native garden and we can't wait. One of my favorite aspects of this company is it is a co-op. The employees can be owners, and those who aren't are still paid a living wage as calculated by the MIT living wage calculator. They do excellent work! It is hard to find a native landscaper but this team is fantastic.
