We have used their other company, Shade Tree Farm to plant numerous trees in our yard for several years now. This is the first time we have created an actual garden with them and we are equally blown away by their amazing talent. Cecilia and Erica are very creative and knowlegable designers. Philip and his hard working crew are very passionate about their craft. They all have an outstanding work ethic and seem genuinely delighted to create a beautiful environment for their clients as well as wildlife. We are now blessed wirh an abundance of song birds, butterflies, and hummingbirds which is very entertaining! Their attention to detail, their excitement about educating new gardeners like myself, combined with their fair and reasonable pricing puts them on top! We have come to love this family and look forward to creating more beautiful spaces in the future. **★★★★★ — TR, July 2022** > Wonderful to work with. Great team and native plant specialists. They also built a flagstone walkway to perfection and fixed some significant drainage issues. This was our 2nd major project with West Winds. We will use them every time! **Comment from West Winds Nursery LLC:** > Thank you so very much ! > > We are very happy you enjoy your new garden plantings and walkway :) > > We very much enjoyed working with you. > > Cecilia **★★★★★ — K Flach, April 2020** > We’ve used West Winds for 3 projects over the last 10 years. Recently they completed a landscaping project for our newly built house. During the building process we purposely did not increase the builders landscape package because we wanted to work with Cecilia and Phillip again. They are creative, thoughtful and so enjoyable to work with. They bring a different element to your landscaping design than the typical house on the street. They take into consideration of how you will use your yard and those members of the household who will be spending the most time in the yard (children & animals in our case). The plantings have so much depth and texture, it’s been an exciting adventure for us for the first spring to watch everything come to life again. Also they were great with problem solving erosion and water flow issues. Solutions that resolved the issues and were hidden from view. Strategic rock placements (not only serving water flow issues and creating natural boundaries, but for the adventures of a young child), varying types of trees and their placements, burying downspouts, dry stream, etc. We’ve recommended them to several friends and family and will continue to use them in the future. **Comment from West Winds Nursery LLC:** > Thanks so very much for your review, and, for working with us again !!!! We very much enjoyed helping you get the most use out of your property, and, very happy to know our efforts are being appreciated ! > > Thanks too for the referrals ! > > -Cecilia West Winds Nursery, LLC **★★★★★ — L D, Nov. 2019** > I recently had West Winds Nursery do landscape and grading work in my front yard. I was looking for something creative and unique with a natural cottage garden feel. I also had a negative grade corner that I needed to address for proper drainage. Cecilia designed a beautiful pollinator garden with lots of flowers, texture, and seasonal interest that will be easy to maintain. She added an unusual bird bath to give the area something special. Philip and his team did an excellent job addressing surface water flow and bringing Cecilia’s design to life. They carefully listened to my wish list and concerns and delivered even more than I envisioned. They were a delight to work with and I plan to work with them again on lighting. If you are looking for something beautiful and unique, I would highly recommend West Winds. **Comment from West Winds Nursery LLC:** > Thank you so very much - for giving us the chance to create something special for you, and, for the review !!! > > We enjoyed working with you and having the chance to create something special. Looking forward to working together again, and, stopping by next season to see how the plantings like their new home. > > Thanks again, > > Cecilia **★★★★★ — Debbie Wathen, Dec. 2018** > I contacted West Winds Nursery after seeing their photos of their gardens on Houzz. I especially liked the pop-up garden and their use of boulders for accents. Working with Cecilia and West Winds was a painless and pleasant experience. The cost was well within my budget. I am in a Townhouse and was concerned that my backyard may be too small for them to landscape. Cecilia came out to meet with me and listened to my ideas of the plants and colors I like. I also needed a small retaining system to help with some erosion that was happening by the back fence. After our meeting I sent her a few photos of gardens to give her a reference of what I was trying to achieve. She is extremely knowledgeable and provided a beautiful plan which included the plants and colors I mentioned in our meeting along with plants that I had not thought of. My backyard gets some afternoon sun but is mostly shaded. Not only did she provide the landscape design plan, but she included photos of the plant selections in bloom so I could see the colors and flowers. She also worked my existing plantings, birdbaths and fountain in to the design. I wasn’t sure about some of the plants and she updated the design to rework a few of the plantings. She is very patient and a pleasure to work with. After we finalized the plan, it took several weeks to procure the plants and then we had to wait out the rainy weather. It was early December when Cecilia and her crew came out to complete my landscaping. She assured me that all the plants would survive the Winter but if any did not survive, they would replace them. She also offered to come out in the Spring when the plants are in bloom to check on them. That is certainly a testament to their customer service! Attached are a few photos of the completed project. I am very excited to see everything in bloom and will post updated photos after my Spring meeting with Cecilia. **Comment from West Winds Nursery LLC:** > Hi Debbie, > > Thanks very much for such a wonderful review !!! > > It was so much fun to work with you and the extra effort you took to gather pictures of gardens you like helped make the project a success ! > > We really appreciate the time it took to prepare this review and are very pleased you like the work. Can't wait to come visit next spring when the perennials start growing ! > > Thanks again, > > Cecilia **★★★★★ — Huntlands Landscape Architecture, LLC, Dec. 2018** > I’ve worked with West Winds Nursery on numerous installation projects. They are very easy to work with, always professional and take extreme pride in their work. West Winds Nursery uses very high quality materials and always works with our clients upon completion to ensure proper maintenance techniques are understood. I would highly recommend West Winds Nursery for any landscape project. **Comment from West Winds Nursery LLC:** > Thank you very much for taking the time to put together this review. > > It's been a pleasure working with you and your clients. > > We're looking forward to checking back in on the projects to see how they've grown and enjoy putting together new ones! > Best, > > Cecilia **★★★★★ — HU-815819301, Dec. 2018** > Westwinds has been performing landscape services for us for over twenty years. They have competitive rates, complete work on schedule, go above and beyond the contracted work, great communication, detail oriented. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for an excellent landscaping install and design company. **Comment from West Winds Nursery LLC:** > Thank you very much !!!! > > We're glad to know our efforts are appreciated. It's all part of making sure the new homeowners have a landscape they can enjoy for years to come. Thanks again, > > Cecilia **★★★★★ — Stacy Adducci, Nov. 2018** > West Winds Nursery was fantastic. They were wonderful to work with staying true to our ideas as well as offering aesthetically pleasing suggestions. Additionally they partnered with other contractors for a smooth installation. This is our second major project with West Winds and we would not hesitate to contract them again. **Comment from West Winds Nursery LLC:** > Thanks so much, Stacy! > > It was a pleasure to work with you and help bring some creative ideas to revitalize your rear garden space. > > So glad we were able to help! - Cecilia with West Winds Nursery, LLC **★★★★★ — Erin R, Nov. 2017** > We cannot recommend West Winds Nursery enough. This was our first landscape project and we are very inexperienced with maintaining outdoor plants. Nevertheless, we feel confident with our finished project and our ability to care for it. > > Cecilia listened to our ideas (and concerns) and incorporated them perfectly into the landscape design. She was careful to select plants that would bloom at different times of the growing season to create a landscape with visual interest at all times. She also tried to make deer-resistant choices. We were given a very thorough spreadsheet with each and every plant broken down by quantity, price and pictures. > > Installation took about two days. Phillip and his crew did incredible work! We were so pleased to see Cecilia checking on the design both days. Attention to detail and quality of work is apparent with them. > > After installation, we were left with many, many new plants and very clear instructions how to care for them. Cecilia told us how and when to water, how and when to prune and offered email support for any questions down the road. > > This degree of personal attention and service is what makes West Winds stand out from the crowd. We are already looking forward to our next project! **Comment from West Winds Nursery LLC:** > Hi Erin, > > Thanks so much for this ! We really appreciate the time you spent doing this. > > It was our pleasure to work with you as well ! I really appreciated how thorough you were in explaining likes and dislikes during our first meeting. The extra time you spent doing that helped me understand what you wanted to achieve and laid the groundwork for the finished product. > > I think you will really enjoy watching your landscape grow and come to life next year. I'll be sure to swing by and see how it's doing! > > Thanks again - Cecilia **★★★★★ — Howard Wallach, Aug. 2017** > I recently hired West Winds to put in a patio, mulch beds, flower/vegetable planter beds, and rock garden in my rather large TH backyard in Tysons. I am very satisfied with the outcome. Cecelia initially gave me a very detailed, rather innovative diagram of the hardscape and the plants. I had wanted something that was a bit intriguing, and didn't look like every other back yard. When it came to the planting part, Phillip came out with at least 5 others and did all the work in 3 or 4 days. . When we needed a slight midcourse correction, we quietly discussed it, and they resolved it well. We're holding off on the plantings until the Fall, when the plants should "take" better. As I told Cecelia, if any future customer wants a reference or wants to see their work, she is free to give out my number. **Comment from West Winds Nursery LLC:** > Thank you so very much for writing this review ! It is greatly appreciated! > > We all enjoyed your project - so much fun to create something unique ! > > Looking forward to the next phase !! Cecilia **★★★★★ — Joseph Stroup, Aug. 2017** > Outstanding service and beautiful results. Custom designs each project to meet customers desires with native species of unique plantings. Each design they have done for me is a work of art that combines beauty with minimal care and maintenance. **Comment from West Winds Nursery LLC:** > Thank you very much !!!! > > It has been our pleasure to work with you and create a garden you, your family and guests enjoy ! > > Thanks again - Cecilia and all of us at West Winds Nursery, LLC **★★★★★ — Madison Homes, Dec. 2016** > Cecilia and Phillip provided me with a creative, cost effective landscape solution for my patio and large planting beds. The work looks great and has matured very nicely. Phillip is prompt and has a great eye for detail in the installation of the plantings and hardscape. Additionally, I have used them for new home building projects and have had the same experience. ## Selected projects - [Meadow Garden](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/meadow-garden-pj-vj~4342950) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Garden Terrace](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/garden-terrace-pj-vj~2905943) - Location: McLean, VA - Photos: 6 - Description: Outdoor walks and terraces have a captivating ambiance when garden plantings are brought close to the space. The effect of being deep in a garden is created next to the home by allowing the stone to curve seductively around an island planting of a dogwood and perennials. The walk leaving the patio follows the same undulating curved pattern and entices one to further explore the garden. - [Water's edge](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/water-s-edge-pj-vj~267665) - Location: Mineral, VA - Photos: 7 - Description: An extraordinary setting has become a gorgeous outdoor retreat for this family and their guests to enjoy.

While topsoil and sod, combined with a regular fertilizer and irrigation regime, could have made a solid lawn cover possible, another direction was taken. The owners were interested in creating a sustainable, natural solution that would be attractive along with providing benefit to the native wildlife and pollinators.

The home's architect is also the owner and very much wanted the landscape to appear natural and lend a timeless look to the newly built home. To achieve this goal, a generous amount of large moss and lichen encrusted fieldstone boulders were used.

The goals were to create workable planting spaces, a walkway to connect the front and back yard and to blend and possibly expand the existing patio space in the back of the home. Take a look at the results ! Weatherface fieldstone, thick bluestone with bluestone slabs for steps were crafted to create a wonderful new space.

Trees and large shrubs are used to add structure, color and the magic of seasonal change to the landscape. Large columnar hornbeams in the lawn frame the home and a nice Red Maple adds shade and beautiful fall color.

Thank you. A: Thanks for asking ! The stone is Tennessee Crab Orchard stone and is variable in color. It changes according to the different rock veins it is harvested from. This golden tan color with darker brown veins was a special request order. **Q: Stepping Stone Pattern** *(in Photo Questions)* I want to install something similar for my front walkway. How did you get the stone pattern? Were these larger stones that you broke to create the space between them? Thank you. A: You are welcome - thanks for the compliment! **Q: hi... where can i buy this stone??** *(in Photo Questions)* i currently live in sag harbor... thanks scot A: Hello Scot, Unfortunately, I am not sure where you could get this stone where you are. It comes from the mountains in Tennessee and is called Crab Orchard. There are different color ranges depending on which area in the mountain the stone is being harvested from. It took a while to get enough material in this color blend to complete this project. **Q: Where?** *(in Photo Questions)* Is this by any chance Lake Anna? A: Yes, thanks for asking - this project is on the water at Lake Anna **Q: Boulder fountain** *(in Photo Questions)* Hello! Was this a boulder you had that you cut a hole through to use in this fountain? A: Yes - that is exactly how this feature is made. There is an underground reservoir with a heavy duty top and cinder block supports used to hold up the weight of the boulder and river rocks. **Q: I love the Flower arrangement!** *(in Photo Questions)* what are the flowers with the green edges in the centre of you piece? A: They are white Superbells or Million Bells (Calibrachoa) - these guys are related to Petunia's and are low, trailing and flower nicely. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
