A terrible and disrespectful company that doesn't care at all. If I could give them zero stars I would because they don't even deserve one. Do yourself a huge favor and never call this company for anything! They will ruin your neighbors lawn as well while working on yours.

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.

Working with Wheat's 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 Wheat's 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 - - Wheat's, Kevin and Crew!

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.

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!

Wheat's 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.

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!

I'm very happy with my Wheat's lawn maintenance. I enjoy seeing Wheat's gardeners taking care of my lawn, weeding, edging, mulching, and cleaning the lawn. Each gardener obviously cares very much about the lawn and garden itself: they take pride in their work and do it well. Each gardener is not just doing an hourly chore: they know the plants, which are weeds, which are wildflowers, which are planted, and they carefully prune or excise a plant accordingly. Wheat's comes through and eradicates weeds, eliminates the plants growing between pavement pieces, and pick up all branches and leaf litter.

The effect is always a beautiful lawn, and it gets better the longer I have Wheat's taking care of it. I get great satisfaction arriving home to a gorgeous lush lawn and the wonderful stone landscaping that Wheat's has installed in my yard. Doing a large landscaping job with Wheat's is not cheap, but they will do a beautiful job that will last, within a fixed price.

A year ago Wheat's installed a boulder staircase and everyone loves it; it's gorgeous. If you are able to provide feedback while they are doing it, they will observe your wishes and tweak the installation. Being able to provide that feedback during the job is highly recommended to get exactly what you want.

Wheat's 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.

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

If you are looking for a bare minimum job, call these guys. Let's hire 10 people to do next to nothing, where you could hire a 2 people. Landscaping requires detail and largely: clean up. Neither will be found. All the overhead cost is spent on vehicles and equipment. The labor is lazy and the couldn't care less. Let's do the whole community a favor and realize this is a rip-off company who keeps insurance premiums high so they can do a shit job, from initial phone call until they come and run echo blowers until the gas runs out. Did I mention they don't pick anything up? They just blow it into someone else's property. So, in closing, hey Wheats, ya suck!

Strongly recommend finding another company. We hired Wheat's for a design, paying for the services up front ($2500) almost a year ago. Today, we have no design and can't get a response from the team. It's incredibly disappointing, and been a waste of time.

I strongly caution you from choosing Wheat's for your landscaping. We made that mistake about 2 years ago and paid an unbelievable price. Two major points -- The landscaping that they proposed (and that we consulted on, agreed upon plan and all) was different than the plan that they implemented (without informing us). Nearly every plant died that they planted - quickly (including the ones that they moved, unnecessarily, within our yard). Look elsewhere.

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.

Inexplicably, my request for estimates for a brick walkway and new plantings was not acted on and my follow-up phone call was not returned.

Not responsive. Had their reps out to give a plan and estimate. Over the next month I called three times to extract a proposal - each time nothing ever happened.

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.

I had a terrible experience with Wheats. I have never written a review about anyone on Yelp but feel I need to here. Their work is sub par, they never seem to do things right the first time (or second or third), they were dismissive of my requests after spending tens of thousands with them, and their management is not professional. It's a huge disappointment, and expensive one, but lesson learned. Don't waste your money or put yourself through the frustration.

Wheats is shockingly expensive and for all that money you get substandard work and poor customer service. It is really designed for ultra rich people who don't care - they just throw money at Wheats and expect them to deal with everything. I had trees that died - and were never replaced - a water line that was cut and I was charged extra for their mistake and work that came in way over estimate.

Seven years after a really major job, I have had to replace everything - a brick patio that wasn't angled properly and immediately became a mud bath, bricks on steps that crumbled and became waterlogged. You will see Wheats signs all over the area, including schools, and even a Wheats classic car (!) in the McLean parade. So what you are paying for is image - an image that the work does not justify.

A lawncare company that is not capable of doing much more. It took us three years for Wheats to complete a pool installation. The project suffered from terrible communication the whole time, and despite meetings with every general manager we could find, things never got better. Miscommunication was to blame for the pool not meeting our specifications. Wheats seemed to have no idea how to work with the county permitting office, and unwilling to explain to us how they were managing the permitting process.

In the end, we only got the job done because I took it on myself to work with the engineers and the county permitters. Wheats did a landscape project for us also. That started well, but some of the plants died in the first season. Wheats claimed that they were going to replace the plants as part of the warranty, but after a year, they had not processed the order nor responded to any of my requests for status.

We finally asked for a refund and cut ties with them. There were many times I had been tempted to pull the plug on our relationship with Wheats, and I only regret I did not do it sooner.

If you are looking for poor attention to detail, services not completed to what you agreed to.then Wheats is your company. If you want good service, fair pricing and customer service, find someone different.

If I could give this company 0 stars I would. As far as I can tell, the work they do on my neighbors' yards is fine. However, they create the worst noise pollution of any of a dozen or more lawn and landscape vendors that regularly frequent my neighborhood. The Wheat's lawn mowers are industrial size even for lawns the size of a postage stamp and their leaf blowers are so powerful they can be heard blocks away.

When the Wheat's Landscape truck pulls up across the street from my home, I bring my pets inside and try to figure out errands I can run. We simply can't escape the appalling din created by the Wheat's equipment even in the back rooms of my house. If Wheat's came once a season it might be (barely) tolerable, but Wheat's shows up at least once a week on my street and sometimes more frequently. It is a true nightmare -- particularly for someone who works from home.

Wheat's actually does my neighbor's lawn and it looks great. I asked them to come to do a walkthrough of my property and recommend a way forward to get it looking nice. They came on July 27. I have followed up no less than 5 times in email and phone and never received an estimate. Very disappointed.

We have been nothing but pleased with the time, attention and quality in which Wheats has maintained our over 2 acre property for the past few years. We appreciate their time and attention to detail and prompt follow up. In addition, their snow removal is fantastic! They are timely and provide thorough service! I have had many landscape companies and Wheats has been the best for our home. I am very picky and detail focused!

I have been using Wheat's Lawn & Custom Landscaping for over 2 years and have had nothing but excellent customer service. Wheat's provides year round full service landscaping for my home with an emphasis on attention to detail. Their employees are always courteous, efficient and always leave my property looking immaculate. I have also contracted Wheat's for several other projects such a new stone patio with lighting, landscape design and installation, water irrigation system installation and maintenance.

I have worked with several contractors and I can say by far Wheat's has been the most dependable and easiest to work with. I have had the same account representative Jason Mullins since I started with Wheat's. Jason is proactive, reliable and extremely knowledgeable. He routinely checks up on the quality of work performed and ensures we are always satisfied.
