CUTTING EDGE LAWN & LANDSCAPING LLCThis was a terrible experience. This company is totally dishonest, and they refuse to respond to my calls and e-mails regarding the items they left unfinished on the job, or issues that arose a mere six months after completion of work. For example, they left cable wires coming out of our wall...
Merrifield is on the expensive side compared to some other nurseries in the area, but it's worth it. Their service is great and their plants/trees are good quality.
Merrifield Garden Center - MerrifieldI'll start this by saying I'm picky and very, very detail oriented. My husband calls me "the Inspector" because I seriously look at everything from every angle and find any little fault. I continuously have a TON of questions about projects basically from begining to end. If you aren't into...
Custom Stonescaping LLCWe contracted with their lawn care service for this entire year, and this is the first time we've used a lawn care service. We just fired them today. Why? They have literally damaged our porch post and gutter 4 times. Their crews are reckless and sloppy --always missing a swath or...
Meadows Farms LandscapingMr Merrick was very prompt in returning my calls and flexible in scheduling a date/time to have him come into DC to do a walk through and provide a rough estimate of what it would take to reconfigure a very small half bath, remodel an upstairs small full bath, and turn a small nursery room...
We wanted significant changes in our back yard. We had some ideas about what we wanted, but Jeff Jones was great about being able to translate those ideas to paper and then to reality. Jeff was just great to work with - very collaborative - he'd work with our ideas and add his own...

Buying plants from a nursery is one thing, but ensuring that they are properly planted is another. While you might not need to hire a landscaper for every plant that you buy from a nursery, it’s a great idea to have their expertise and experience to plant larger items, like burlapped trees or specialty plants like rose bushes. Even better, before making a trip to a nursery to buy new plants, consult a local landscaper to test your soil for pH levels, soil texture, and phosphorus and potassium levels to help determine the best plants for your area.
Garden nurseries offer many plants to make your home and garden flourish. In-container plants are one option, including perennials, annuals, and small shrubs or trees. Large hedge plants and roses are called bare-root plants, meaning they have not been potted. Finally, you will see some burlapped plants, typically larger trees and shrubs with burlap wrapping around the bottom.
The best time to plant is between spring and autumn. Springtime weather is typically mild and is when nurseries start to bloom. When the summer weather arrives and it’s hot out, it’s best to avoid planting bare-root plants, but you can still plant many in-container varieties. The first sign of fall is another great opportunity to plant biennials if you live in southern states, or a lovely vegetable garden up north.
If you’re hiring a landscaper to plant the garden of your dreams, you do not need to provide them with plants that you bought yourself from a nursery. While you certainly can provide your landscaper with plants, keep in mind that some nurseries provide discounts to landscaping companies, therefore potentially lowering your materials cost. Beyond the cost of the plants themselves, you need to have additional materials like topsoil and mulch for the project. Most likely, your landscaper can get a discount on these materials as well, so it’s worth speaking with them before making any large purchases.
While there are over 400,000 different flowering plants worldwide, there are five main types of flowers. These flower types are based on their lifecycles, giving each type a unique personality. These types are:
Annuals, which complete their entire life cycle within a single growing season.
Perennials, which the tops die off in the winter but regrow in spring.
Biennials, which complete their entire life cycle within two years.
Hybrids, which exhibit either annual or perennial behaviors depending on location
Flowering shrubs, which are small to medium-sized perennial woody plants, such as shrubs or evergreens.
