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.

This year, for the first time we hired Betty's to design and plant landscaping in our front yard. They planted three trees and several grasses and small shrubs. One of the trees died w/in weeks due to what they diagnosed as transplant shock back in June. They recommended we wait until cooler weather to provide a replacement tree, however not that they finally agreed to do the replacement work, they no longer have the type of tree that we paid for. We have to select a new tree, and that tree will no longer be covered under warranty. I am so unimpressed with their service. Shop here for your own planting, but don't rely on them to back up what they've planted for you.

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.

Absolutely disgraceful that these people call themselves a landscaping business & even more…read morefrustrating that our HOA continues to contract them for both community landscaping maintenance & snow plowing. Time & time again we have watched this company deploy clearly extremely unqualified people who also have no regard for the quality of work they are producing or for the property of the owners in our community (ie. their cars)- consistently making an extreme mess throughout the community on their maintenance day, including blatantly leaf blowing everything insight onto all of our cars. This past weekend they were highly unprepared & once again unqualified for the task of snow removal. We saw the truck once on Monday (day after snow storm) to "plow" street, using that term very lightly because the job was absolutely terrible & made the street conditions worse- our cul de sac all had to shovel for many hours after they left just to make the street safe. They did not salt the road at all. Then we saw the truck again today, again plowed but NO SALT !? This is just absolutely ridiculous. We had plenty of warning for the storm & there was no preparation last week to pre treat our community roads, nor did they treat after to prevent any icing during these cold temperatures this week. Im scared to see how they handle the rest of our winter storms, especially with another one on the way next weekend. Centreville Resident. *Response to manager- I appreciate you responding so quickly. It seems as though my concerns were addressed & our community received sand on the roads a few hours after my review was posted yesterday. We are in the Marleigh Downs community. However unfortunately this was too late & our streets already had thick ice accumulated due to the delay from plowing to applying agent. The sand is not going to melt the ice sheets like salt would. In future it would be better if the agent can't be applied as a precaution before the storm then it should be applied right after the plowing occurs- with the frigid temperatures we are experiencing nothing is melting or breaking down easily. Hours past had already given enough time for ice sheets to form.

We had Premium Lawn and Landscape advise us and install a system to deal with a huge excess of water coming into our yard. They completed the digging etc. and it totally failed to address the problem we shared with them. Our backyard flooded again.

Long story short we paid for another contractor to remove their work and resolve our flood water problem.
