Working with Wheats was outstanding in all respects - from initial consultation to the neatly finished job, done by a professional and courteous crew. More specifically, ours may have been a small job, still, the treatment was first class. The designer, Kevin, offered a reasonable solution to what for us was a worrisome problem - improper drainage in a downward sloping backyard that was causing considerable soil erosion. We are extremely pleased with the results - - a dry creek bed, stone steps, etc., that complement the existing landscape of our small backyard. They also installed a flowering groundcover that will be awesome once it grows and fills in around the stone steps. I highly recommend Wheats for landscape design and installation. Communications with the company, the designer and the crew were great. Everything was done in a timely manner. Our property looked neat, clean and beautiful when they were done. Thank you - - Wheats, Kevin and Crew!
Wheats has been maintaining my home irrigation system for going on two decades with consistently exemplary service. Over the years they have refreshed the system with new technologies that enable me to both customize and seamlessly manage the irrigation process. And I cannot help noticing that I tend to see the same service reps year after year which tells me they treat their people well, which leads to consistent customer service. I look forward to benefitting from their excellent customer service and care for years to come.
Fairfax County required me to do some maintenance on my home Stormwater Management Facility. I contacted several of the companies that had gone through the county training and was surprised that only three were willing to visit my property. I noticed a difference immediately, starting with the Wheat’s representative who came out to assess the job (Kane Ramsey). Wheat’s was very professional and comprehensive in their approach. They were willing to handle all aspects of the work while the other two companies wanted to do only portions of the work. I was pleased with Wheat’s attention to details in their visit and in talking with me about the job. They took pictures of the work areas and drew on them to show the specific areas that were going to be fixed. Wheat’s really made it easy to deal with one company and get the entire job done! Additionally, Wheat’s was accustomed to dealing with the county and documented the entire project in writing and with pictures. They submitted and secured all the required county approvals for me once the job was done.Wheat’s finished the job very quickly once they got started. The crew was excellent and cleaned up the work areas completely. I am a completely satisfied customer and highly recommend Wheat’s.
Our experience with Wheat’s Landscaping has been an outstanding one, from the initial design consultation to the execution of each step. Our design consultant had wonderful ideas, understood our vision and worked closely with us to make it a reality.Our project manager and install crew were just amazing every step of the way! Robert, our project manager was informative and quickly responded to my inquiries. The install crew worked at our home for many weeks, improving yard irrigation and installing a flagstone walkway, irrigation system and many plantings. Their attention to detail was unmatched. I was most impressed by their efforts to go over and beyond in improving the function of our space and making it look great in the process.After our wonderful experience with the design and installation process we signed an annual contract for lawn maintenance and have been very satisfied with the services. Again, the maintenance crew has been polite, detailed, quick to respond and have made extra efforts to protect and maintain our plantings.Thank you to the entire Wheat’s team for making our experience a great one!
We have been satisfied Wheat’s customers for about 25 years. Our prime contact with Wheats is Kane Ramsey who is a great representative for the company. Kane is knowledgeable about the landscaping business, supervises good working teams who are dependable, do consistently good work, and are friendly and helpful. Thank you for your consistent excellent service over the years! Dr. Gretchen. Klein
Wheats has maintained our landscaping for many years, they manage irrigation and lighting, they have managed drainage and made improvements. They handle the cycling of blooming plants so we have color all year around. The account manager is responsive and uses email (which helps a lot). The billing arrangements are efficient. The team leaves written confirmation of their work. They handle snow and leaf removal, pruning and trimming. This is a very reliable operation.
If you are Asian dont contact these guys. Unprofessional, in general. They will irritate your neighbors by parking or driving or blowing debris over their lawns. These guys have a lot of business but not for the job they do. Its through undeserved reputation. Look elsewhere.
Wheat’s did a complete re-do of our back yard and side yards. Loved working with their designer who understood exactly what we wanted. He also understood that everything had to be deer-proof! The guys that installed all the bushes and sod and repaired a rotten wooden wall were amazing! Fast, meticulous and so neat! Every single thing that Wheat’s planted lived through the hot summer, and every single bush was not touched by deer all summer and winter! This company is very organized, great management at each level, and just really wonderful to work with! In fact, I just contacted them last week to do a bit more work for us-can’t travel, may as well make your living space exactly how you imagine it could be!!! Great company and great people at Wheat’s!
I couldnt imagine using any other service provider other than Wheats. As a long-time & discerning customer, our experience has been great. Im particularly impressed with the detail of the work and the responsiveness of the follow-up. When something needs to be done or amended to the service, Team Wheats is there for us. Its gratifying when people visiting or driving by our home, stop to comment about the landscaping.
Hired Wheat to reconstruct a multilevel shrub and flower garden in front of my house. The design included routing downspouts through the bed to appropriate discharge points. The crew arrived on time and completed the work as planned in one day. All debris was removed from the site and mulch was added as a finishing touch.
We hired Wheats for a drainage issue and landscape mulching on our property . They were quick and responsive throughout the project. The work took two days - and they did an outstanding job. I am very pleased with the work they did and the price was by far the best of all the estimates we received. We will definitely go to wheats with any future landscaping projects we have.
100% professional organization. Listened to my concerns. Prepared a multi-stage plan and didn’t pressure me into buying “everything, right now”. I implemented Stage 1, voiced my concerns. They came out to discuss each installs. I’m 100% happy with the results. Will continue using them into additional “stages”. Couldn’t be more happy with the responsiveness and professionalism of this organization.
I have an annual contact with Wheat’s Landscaping and use them for nearly year round maintenance of my yard. I’ve had them do design, plantings, aeration, over seeding and annual mulching but the biggest timesaver for me is the maintenance where they do weeding, shrubbery trimming and those activities weekly. I enjoy doing yard work but could never keep up with the flower bed, lawn weeding, and trimming. With Wheats, the crews and the service are both very trustworthy and reliable and they take all the weeds they pull with them. Strangers and neighbors stop and ask about my yard and tell me they want a lawn like mine. I give them 5 stars!
I am a long-term client (20+ years) of Wheats at two different properties. I have found them to be professional and responsive whether I had a small project or something fairly major. The project teams respect your property and your neighbors. They leave everything looking much better than when they came. In addition to discrete projects, I have contracted for annual yard management with complete satisfaction. If there ever is a concern that arises, management takes care of it right away. If youre looking to get the cheapest price, then look elsewhere. If youre looking to make an investment in your property that will improve property values and your peace of mind, then Wheats is for you.
Wheats is the best lawn and landscape service Ive ever used in 32 years at this location. Their leadership and crews are knowledgeable, skillful, professional, dependable and very courteous. The fact that they are locally based makes them accessible and communicative far beyond the nationwide firms with local affiliates.
I have had a wonderful experience with Wheats landscape. They done a great job landscaping the property, recommending beautiful plants and trees, and maintaining everything. In addition, however, they took care of some major water issues we were facing during the heavy rains and installed a pretty innovative approach to addressing the problem. Always punctual, always responsive to emails or calls with questions, and always on schedule to help take care of the property.
Tired of companies advertising that they service DC yet they choose where they will service. Misleading website coverage area.
They cleared my neighbors fall leaves by blowing lots of them to my lawn and side walk. I just cleaned the leaves on my side the day before! ! I bag my leaves, not blowing them to others properties. They may have many good staffs, but the one I saw were very very unprofessional!
Wheat’s did a top-notch job installing sod in my yard. Project lead Andrew was great at brainstorming with me regarding such variables as where exactly to place the new lawn, how to mulch around trees and the perimeter of my property, and how to care for the new lawn going forward. Foreman Jose and the rest of the team did a nice job removing existing vegetation and laying the new grass, and they really cleaned up everything well after each day of the project. Also, Alaric made it very easy to process the contract and payment. Everyone was professional and courteous. It’s sometimes difficult to find a good contractor in this metropolitan area, but I’m glad that I chose Wheat’s for my sod installation.
Superb customer service! Brett and Steve have been amazing! Love the attention to detail! My husband and I are extremely happy with the way our landscaping has turned out! We started with just the back yard...but with everything looking so wonderful in the backyard we needed to make the rest of the yard look just as wonderful! They are now doing the side and front yard too! Thank you Wheats for making everything look so beautiful!
We did a major renovation removing a wood deck and brick patio, replacing it with 1300 square foot flagstone patio to include a grill station, bar, sitting wall, and water feature. In addition, we added surround sound and an outside TV. I give the overall project an A+. Our Wheats project manager (Robert, a superstar) had to manager 5 subcontractors: 1. Audio visual, 2. Oil tank remover, 3. Electrician, 4. Landscape lighting, and 5. Masonry. In addition, Wheats provided landscaping. The project was on time and within budget. Robert was at the site daily. After the fountain was installed, he thought it would look better if it was moved 2 feet, so he had the subcontractor move it at no extra cost. After the granite countertops where installed, we thought we might want to change the design, but Robert was able to to go through the pros and cons - identifying items that we didnt think around safety and comfortable. Overall, a fantastic job and I highly recommend Wheats, especially Robert as the PM. Nancy and Chip
Two years ago I moved into a new house with a blank slate of a yard. After getting settled, I started asking friends about landscapers and heard very good things about the Wheat’s team. Soon after I saw a Wheat’s truck come to my neighbors yard so I asked him about his experience. It was very positive so I decided to try them and I have not been disappointed. The quality of their work is exceptional as is their communication and follow up. This is the first year of planning, building, and planting and my new yard is turning into the retreat that I imagined. It is beautiful and welcoming and I would happily recommend Wheat’s to anyone who is looking for a fantastic landscape company.
I recently hired Wheats Lawn and Landscape to completely redo the landscaping at our house - front, side and back yard. I cant say enough about the great service and quality of the work. More specifically, Kane Ramsey who worked with us and our budget to come up with an ideal plan and solution for our house. He met me at my house, looked at the yard gave us recommendations on mulch, plants along with a small tree. On install day, the crew was prompt, professional, friendly, and cleaned up neatly. I couldnt be more happy with the finished product. We are now a customer of theirs and will use them for tick and mosquito spraying. Great workmanship and customer service is hard to find, and theyve got it - for example, Kane called me last night to inform me he would stop by one night to show me how to prune a true - incredible. IF anyone wants to use me as a reference, please reach out. Frank
The front office was rude. They had no patience
The Maryland account manager designed a combined drainage swell and walkway to check erosion and loss of grass on our property. The design worked beautifully with our existing landscaping and was aesthetically very pleasing. The Wheats work crew is always a delight to work with. Their pricing was excellent.
Kane Ramsey and his team have been invaluable to us. We could not be happier with the way our yard has turned out. We moved into a brand new house with little to no landscaping or hardscape. The entire Wheats team has completely transformed our yard and truly made it an extension of our home. We have used, and will continue to use, them for our year round needs (including snow removal!) Kane, our primary contact at Wheats, is always available and ready to answer questions or swing by and give advice. I would not hesitate in recommending them to anyone that is looking for a customer service oriented landscaping team.
I have worked with more than a few different landscaping companies over the years but nothing has compared to the Wheat’s experience. From the very beginning, they have provided excellent customer service with a wonderful attention to detail. I have a larger yard and the Wheat’s team has expertly guided me every step of the way in creating an outdoor space that is truly special and unique.After working with other landscapers my yard just wasn’t what I wanted it to be. I reached out to Wheat’s for a consultation and was able to schedule an appointment easily. After the first meeting I knew that I had found the team that I had been looking for. Wheat’s designed and installed a beautiful stone patio, an attached screened in porch, and several different sized gardens. Every aspect of the outdoor space was well planned and communicated to me in a clear and understandable way. I was given several different options that fit into my budget which allowed me to get exactly what I wanted. The installation was handled perfectly and the communication of the Wheat’s team throughout the process was wonderful. The final result is beautiful and even more than I had hoped for.Because of my stellar installation experience the Wheat’s team also handles all of the maintenance for my lawn, gardens, trees, and hardscape. Again, they are the best I have ever worked with. All of the teams do a wonderful job and stay ahead of any potential issues or difficulties before they turn into problems. My service manager, Pedro also shows up regularly to walk the property with us to make sure that we are happy with their service and the way the yard looks. I can honestly say that my entire property has never looked healthier or more beautiful and that is because of the hard work of the entire Wheat’s team. I will continue to gladly recommended Wheat’s to anyone who is looking for superior landscape work.
We recently started working with Wheats Landscape and they are great. Our representative came out, gave an understandable breakdown of what they would be doing and so far theyve done exactly that. They are reliable, honest and quick. Definitely recommend!
Requested a quote from Wheats for drainage services in May of this. Received a visit from Wheats representative approximately 6 weeks later after a few calls. He said he would get back with a quote and never heard from him again. Called the company to find out why, only to get more run around and that person never followed up either. I can only assume that Wheats doesnt serve modest homes in our town. We live in a smaller home the middle of two high end properties. Funny...Wheats services both those homes on a regular basis.
Excellent 👍
I try not to cast dispersions on restaurants and businesses, but I am posting on here to 1. Serve as a cautionary tale and 2. Try and get the company to replace my dead tree that is under warranty. We were overcharged for services for over a year until we found a MUCH better landscape service. They will do things like unnecessarily bill you for general weeding every other time they visit your property. A respectable landscaping company will weed your property approximately 4 times per year.Wheats also quoted me $12,000 to install a paver patio that I ultimately had done by a different company for $3,000.And good luck ever trying to get a response from anyone in this terribly-run company. We overpaid for them to plant 12 trees in our backyard. Two of them died, and all of the trees were under warranty. They replaced one (7 months after I incessantly asked on a biweekly basis), and they still have not replaced the other dead tree, despite my 3 phone calls and several email attempts.
Travis showed up 3 minutes early! He knew what he was doing and went back to his office, did some research and explained why I didnt need an expensive treatment on my tree. How great is that!
We have been customers of Wheats for over 20 years and we highly recommend them. Their work is always exceptional. The employees are very professional and responsive.
I already knew when I called Wheats that they offer some of the best landscaping around, but what I didn’t expect was that when they came out to do the work on my yard that they were going to treat my small job like they treat the largest job they have. The two guys that came out were hard working, professional, knowledgeable and kind and they moved my trees expertly and carefully to their new location, being very respectful of my property. It’s clear that Wheats truly cares about the quality of their work, and I was super impressed with the attention to detail and the outstanding customer service from this company. I can’t wait to use Wheats for more projects in the future. I wish I could give Wheats more than five stars because they truly deserve them!
Wheats exceeded all expectations for customer service, and their landscaping craftsmanship is as good as it gets. Their employees are friendly, polite and committed to producing exceptional results.
Wheats has been providing our lawn care and landscaping needs for about 4 years now. We have found everyone from the office personnel to our lawn care providers to be professional and attentive to our needs. All work is done professionally and our property is left immaculate. Tom Lee has been extremely helpful in dealing with landscape and draining issues. I would highly recommend Wheats to anyone looking for the best in design and care of their property.
I was almost hit by one their trucks while using a crosswalk. This company does not care about safe driving. Do not support this company unless you support getting run over.
We have used Wheats for years on landscaping, large and small tree planting, general flower bed maintenance and stone work, all with excellent results. We especially commend Mr. Tom Lees.
I am not one to post negative reviews about business establishments online because honestly I find it unnecessary to share negative customer experiences with anyone outside of the business itself, but based on the experience my family has had with Wheats combined with the complete lack of compassion/respect from management when concerns were voiced, I feel it’s appropriate to make these concerns known so that (hopefully) others will not have to deal with the situation my husband and I have dealt with.When my husband and I moved into our new home we hired wheats for landscaping services. I am not going to re hash all the events that occurred during the series of months we worked with them because at this point it’s redundant. To state it simply, it was consistently impossible to get in touch with anyone, account managers changed without notification multiple times, we were charged for services that were not rendered until we harassed them to come complete lawn services when it became overgrown and the list goes on.The issue at hand regards two defective trees that were planted in our backyard. It became clear early on that these two trees were dead. When we finally (after several weeks) got ahold of someone to come and replace ONE of the two trees, the individual who was doing the replacement made a note of a second tree that looked like it was dying as well. We decided at that time to monitor that tree to see if that was the case. When it became clear that he was right, we spoke with wheats and planned on replacing that second tree in the spring time (April specifically) when it would take better to replacement. It is now July and my husband finally was able to get in touch with someone after weeks of trying to make a connection. When he spoke with the individual who identified herself as the owner of the company, she explained that their supply and gps records indicated that the second dead tree was in fact replaced in April. Now this is where it gets absurd. I have the proof that this tree was not replaced right in my backyard because it’s still dead !! When I tried to explain this to her on the phone she kept saying their truck gps location indicates that the truck was in our area in April and the tree was replaced. After trying to explain that the dead tree is still in my backyard over and over and over again, this individual became extremely condescending suggesting that it’s just a third three that died and I’m trying to get a third tree replaced. I asked her if she would be willing to come to my home so that she could evaluate the tree and see that if this tree had in fact been replaced and then just died again, why would it be 24inches taller than the ONE tree that was replaced ?? Why would it be the same height as the 12 other original trees ?? That would be because it was not replaced !! The second tree was never replaced. It is the same tree. Anyways, she refused to come and see the tree continuing to be condensing and unhelpful just stating over and over that her records show the second tree was replaced.In this situation the point isn’t that wheats didn’t replace the tree. The point is that management was unwilling to even come to my house to see the tree, evaluate its age, and then realize that it is an original tree that was never replaced. That’s what has upset me so much. Upper management was unwilling to check their own work and just verify whether the replanting on the second tree was actually done. It’s concerning that this management team can be so firm in their belief that work was done when they are unwilling to come at customer request to double check. I truly hope no other customer has to deal with something like this ever. It was a very sad experience for us.
Excellent company with great customer service and good final results.
One star is kind. All the roots from their trees have rotted because ofthe clay soil they use.
Hardly worth the cost. I am happy to pay a premium for quality and consistent service. Wheats charges a hefty premium, but in my experience, it comes up short on their end of the bargain. Save your money and your lawn and hire someone else.I canceled my contract because, as near as I can determine, they basically forgot about my lawn. I emailed my account rep recently to make sure we were set for the spring. I did that because (a) my lawn looked bad in the fall and worse through the winter, so I wanted to make sure we had a head start on the spring; and (b) I didnt recall receiving anything from wheats for a long time now-- no correspondence, no note on work performed or to be performed on the lawn, nothing about when we would start the spring seeding schedule etc.After not hearing anything I reached out again. After more radio silence, I called and was routed through a nice but wholly unhelpful customer service rep until I found myself talking to someone who said he was in charge of my account, despite the fact that we have never spoken and the fact that he was not the same account rep I had last season.It became apparent that he didnt know who I was and essentially was just assigned my account. He didnt have any idea of what my landscaping services were, whether they had already fertilized and seeded, whether I was scheduled for anything etc. He was nice, but it was a pointless call. I canceled right then.Poor management is one thing, but after a year of using Wheats, my lawn is worse than before I started using them. I need to re-sod about 30 percent of my lawn to start over. Add that to the keystone cops routine on my account, and it was an easy call to cancel. What a waste. My bad for using Wheats. They came highly recommended fwiw.I hired another landscaping company today. They are smaller, more eager to deliver services, and had their act together. Im also paying significantly less than Wheats charged me. Im giving Wheats one star, which feels a little generous, but its fair overall.
This place smells good.
If you want a company that goes beyond your yard care, this is the one.A thank you to all the people that work their.
The website lists a lawn mowing/maintenance service, but when you call, they dont actually offer that, they only advertise it. you have to sign a larger contract to get them to agree to cut your lawn.
Excellent good job
