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.

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

They seemed to be really liking the morning, Eastern-facing sunlight they've been provided with, since moving them outside mid-May. To this IPO of a garden, I wanted to add a "pollinator planter". I did a quick search for garden centers in the area, and American Plant popped right up. I made a note in my daily planner to visit, and I'm so glad I did. They made finding what I was looking for so easy! On display was a list of all the native pollinators, categorized by season, and how much light/shade they require. I picked up a coneflower, verbena, aster, bronze fennel, and a New Guinea impatient for good measure, + a 17" terra-cotta planter for about a hundred dollars...insane. Everything looked very healthy, the staff was pleasant/helpful, and it was definitely affordable. Gardening is okay as addictions go, right? You could go to one of those mega-stores (you know what I'm talking about), but they won't have any native species, a helpful staff, and you won't save any money. Do yourself a favor, and plan a trip to American Plant. Maybe I'll see ya there!

Great plant selection, outdoor landscaping equipment, trees and knowledgeable staff!…read more Pretty much you can find all things gardening, landscaping at this nursery. If you can't find it here, then it probably should not be in your garden. From the painted pots to the abundance of healthy and beautiful plants, this nursery is awesome. I came here looking for a few items for a landscaping project at my home and found everything I needed. The staff is super helpful and will go out of their way to get you the answers or whatever else you need. Prepare to spend a lot of time looking at the best selection of healthy, well taken care of plants in DMV...imho. If you need an idea of what to do in your outdoor space, this Nursery is the answer. Staff is so helpful and great to talk with! Highly recommend this place!

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.

We had sod installation done by Blue Collar Scholars on part of our front and side yard (about 1000…read moresquare feet). They quoted an excellent price so we made a deposit of half of the price and we established a date in the fall to do the installation. They came with two people on the exact date we requested and they proceeded to do an excellent preparation of the area to be sodded by removing some weeds, roto-tilling and levelling that took many hours. It was more work than we had expected since the proposal only specified "light site preparation". On the next day they arrived with the sod and proceeded to do an excellent job of installing, watering and rolling it. When they were finished it looked beautiful. The men were very accommodating to our requests and very pleasant to work with. Based on our experience we would highly recommend Blue Collar Scholars to other customers.

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.

Absolutely delighted to have found American Plant! The store is huge with four separate sections…read morefor plants (annual, perennial, tree/shrub and indoor) and all but the indoor section (obvi) are outdoors. This makes shopping during COVID a breeze. Since it's such a large place they provide carts that you can wheel you items around in and have an impressively large amount of staff dedicated just to helping you get your items into your car. The parking lot is relatively small related to the popularity of the place and it's one of the first shopping experiences I've had where I've needed to wait in line in my car. Again, the staff does a great job of managing and provides traffic control and assistance here. While American Plant didn't have what I was looking for (jasmine and gardenias - they had a very small selection of the latter that seemed overpriced), I found so many gorgeous plants, herbs and garden items that I didn't mind at all. Prices and signage could be a little more clear, definitely take your time while browsing as there is a lot to see. In addition to plants they have the most extensive collections of pots I've seen in the area, gardening tools, supplies, seeds, blubs and general decor. I will definitely be returning soon!
