So, let me tell you about Merrifield Garden centers. I have been to many many landscape and garden…read morecenters over the years. I know quite a few that have been put out of business because of the chain home improvement stores. When you go to Merrifield, you will be bathed in the amazing living variety that can be brought to your home, for indoors and outdoors. The selection is beyond anything I've ever seen, and the staff clearly loves the business. You can browse hundreds of plant and flower options indoors And they also have an amazing selection of patio adornments. The best was my experience today. I needed a garden hose adapter. Sounds simple enough, but this is so uncommon that all of the local chains didn't have anything, and one young man in an orange apron Ron suggested I just get it on Amazon. I stopped here at Merrifield, and they also did not have it in stock. But the gentleman at the counter Suggested that he'd be happy to make one for me if I wouldn't mind waiting for a few minutes. And he jumped into action, grabbing the hose and fittings that he needed and manufactured what I needed for me on the spot. That his old-fashioned service deserves a lot more than just five stars. Please bring them your business!

I've heard great things about Merrifield and though I've visited before, I hadn't bought anything. I took some pics of my lawn, some of the current grass/weeds/plants growing and went to their help desk. It was mid-week, so not too busy. Craig was working the desk and so I don't bury the lead... he was AMAZING. I explained what I was trying to do, that I really knew nothing, and though I had done a little research, I didn't want to trust everything I had read/watched. He walked me through my options. I don't care much about what is growing, just that we have good coverage. Clover was something I was interested in. He explained the clover options as well as some low-maintenance grass options. He even spent a lot of time helping me understand about aerating since it was something I wanted to know more about. I decided to go with grass and clover, hoping a mix might balance between lawn and something for the pollinators. As the spots were relatively small, he said I could just hand spread, especially with the clover seeds being so tiny. While prices are a little higher than the big box stores, looking into this, the products seem to be of a higher quality. Luckily my issue was sort of small to start with so I felt it was a good investment.

Meadows Farms is a popular local nursery that has several locations in the Northern Virginia area…read more This location is a pretty good one and I have been a regular customer here for several years. We have purchased everything from annuals to shrubbery, to Christmas trees and pumpkins. The selection of flowers and plant life is always abundant and we have never been disappointed with the quality or prices of our purchases. The staff is helpful, although sometimes they don't have enough available and I find myself doing lots of searching and head scratching. I'm not an expert on landscaping or botany, so I usually need help. I know it's not rocket science, but I'd prefer to ask questions and not make a mistake when I spend my money. If they can improve in this area I would have no problem giving them a 5 star rating. My favorite part about this place is the Pumpkin patch they do each year. They have an old, black painted school bus that the kids can play on. They also create these cool tunnels and they even have a rope swing hung from the large tree in the front. My daughter loves this and I find it's why we come here each year for our pumpkins. The selection of pumpkins is pretty solid so it's worth the visit. The way things are going now, I will have be coming back for years to come. *This business is gun carry friendly.

Although we had specific promises that they would plant trees and shrubs according to the instructions we provided from Merrifield Garden Center, they left on the burlap, planted the items far too shallowly, and did not dig sufficient loose earth around the items. Many died. The builder and the landscaping company refused to replace them. The stone walk was not laid straight and had to be fixed. The stone steps did not meet building code and had to be fixed (although I am not certain whether the steps were the responsibility of the landscaping or the building company). The builder made promises that dirt would be extended out to cover the tops of the culverts. These promises were not kept. Assessment of Gearing Landscaping: very poor value; very low professionalism; very high aggravation.

The estimate was very pricey but we really wanted it done ASAP so we were going to move forward anyway. He came out twice to explain where the walkway would be and give us measurements - he did neither. He came out and had no drawings, no measurements and gave us conflicting information. He seemed annoyed that we had questions like 'where will the walkway go?'...kind of a standard question. On top of that, he was pretty rude. I was left with the impression that our job wasn't expensive enough for him to care about. He came off as very unprofessional and we absolutely will not use him or recommend him to anyone. We ended up going with another company who was much less expensive and they did a great job.
