Meadows Farms Nurseries – Dulles

I’ve been shopping at Meadows Farms Dulles for the past 5 years for annuals and perennials. Prices are always reasonable and if you join their VIP club you’ll receive extra coupons in email. There are always plenty of varieties to choose from and the staff is knowledgeable and ready to assist. Definitely worth the visit if you’re ready to get that garden started.

They have beautiful trees, shrubs, and flowers; and the folks working there are very knowledgeable and more than helpful! Only issue is the check out folks, seem to not have a clue about the sales and appear to be annoyed with questions. Otherwise, excellent nursery!

Great variety of plants and prices seem fair. They have a large selection for any landscape and are willing to suggest items which might work better than others. I will definitely use them again!

We have been buying from Meadows for about 8 years, and we always love their selection and price. I hit Meadows up for their bagged mulch sale in March, and I love this place because you pay first, then drive over and they load all the mulch into your car or truck bed– its a big back saver! I went again recently for a few new trees and picked out 7 gallon Hollies, which they also helped load. I had some questions about which plants would be a good choice for a wet areas in our backyard and they were able to give me a nice info sheet about plant choices and talked me through some of the options.

This is a true nursery with everything from large trees to house plants. The selection is varied so you are not going to be limited. We’ve used them for our home landscaping and have been pleased. Not fancy and they could use more carts/​wagons on weekends for all of us weekend gardeners. The check out line can be cumbersome but they’ve worked on improving the process

Meadows Farms landscaping sent Hugh Perry to our home and he was very insightful as to what types of trees would work best with our home, views, and currently landscaping. He brought a computer with lots of examples of photos of what we could do. He pointed out how certain features of the house could be accented. We chose trees and I felt like I got a great education on how to think like a landscaper.
When the team came to install they were beyond awesome, those men did a very nice job. Each tree was very healthy, they transplanted a few existing smaller trees and those all survived the winter very well. All trees were staked and mulched. Everything really looked great.
I give them five stars, using meadows farms could not have been a better experience, and with the best possible
results. Meadows Farms and Hugh Perry are #1 for our next landscaping project. Thank you!!!

We visited this location to purchase a tree. We found a tree we were interested in possibly purchasing, but needed someone to confirm whether it would be the best choice given the soil type in our garden, etc. We asked the customer service desk to send someone to the tree lot to help us. (At the time, there were no other customers in the store.) We waited at least 15 minutes, but no one ever came. As we drove away, we noticed a half-​dozen employees just standing around, shooting the breeze with one another.
The most unfortunate part of this experience: we would have preferred to make our purchase from a locally-​owned nursery. Instead, we ended up buying a tree at Home Depot. Even though they were busy, one of Home Depot’s suppliers took the time to answer all of our questions about tree varieties and tree care.

Really great Christmas tree shopping experience. They offer free popcorn, cookies, cider and hot cocoa, plus a nice fire pit to warm yourself up by. They also offer a nice military discount when you sign up for their free loyalty program. Got $ 8 off my $ 79 tree. The staff is very helpful and friendly. You pay for your tree at the register and then drive your car up where the staff loads and ties it down for you. I gave our helper a tip because he did it way more efficiently than I ever could.

I purchased, and returned 2 Christmas trees in as many days to Costco Chantilly because they were TINY and bare for $ 32. I was so disappointed and frustrated but because we only live a few miles from Meadows Farms, we stopped in to check them out expecting $ 100 trees.
We were FLOORED at this place. They have a big fire pit out back and they have free popcorn, cider, hot chocolate, cookies, and tea. In addition, the tree prices start at $ 25 and the $ 25 ones were MUCH bigger than the ones at Costco. Not only that, all the trees are propped up and full so you can see exactly what they will look like.
Once you pick out a tree (they had huge, gorgeous ones for $ 35-​Costco price and MUCH bigger), you tell the people working there and they carry it, and wrap it for you. In addition, they trim the bottom and cut any branches off that you want cut off. They also bring it out and put it on your car.
We also purchased a packet of Christmas tree nutrient powder stuff for 74 cents. We love that place now and that has now become our new family tradition.

I can’t rate their services or products because nobody would call me back. I called there several times, each time I was told I would need to speak to someone named Sanford Silver. I would then be transferred to Sanford Silver’s voicemail. The voicemail had a personalized greeting by a person who identified himself as Sanford Silver and a message that assured all callers that detailed phone messages would be returned. Alas, after leaving four detailed phone messages over a three week time period I decided to use a different company that actually needed and wanted my business. I still wonder if Sanford Silver is a real person or just a message on a machine.

I have used Meadows Farms Landscaping for several projects and have always been very pleased with the results. Hugh Perry, one of their landscape designers, provided excellent guidance and drawings for the projects. The new front yard plantings received complements from several people who walked by; some asking who did the work so they could hire them. In the back of the house I had multiple holly plantings. Additionally, they installed a sidewalk and a fire pit. All work was done in a timely manner at a reasonable cost. The staff who does the hardscape work is exceptional.

Meadows Nursery has a good selection of plants. I’m pleased with their quality and what they have done for my garden. Over the years, they have planted several types of trees in my yard which have done well in this NOVA region. The best part is, these trees are guaranteed for life in case they don’t do well. I’ve had to replace a couple of them and it’s a seamless process with the nursery. The replacement trees are thriving and so is my garden! Thanks to Meadows and their helpful landscape designers!

I love Meadows Farms! The staff is always helpful and knowledgeable. What’s really nice is that when they don’t know the answer to a question, they try to find the answer. Virtually every plant we have is from Meadows Farms.
My biggest issue is that I live in a townhouse and I just want to buy everything!!!

Purchased a lovely large «Dura-​Heat» birch tree here last year to grace the grave of one of our beloved dogs. Normally we visit the Culpeper & Warrenton locations of Meadows Farms, but alas they were both out of this specific variety, which is supposed to be one of the very best for this area. (Have to admit that one major plus of all of the Meadows Farms locations has always been their excellent customer service. Every location we spoke to offered to call around to all of their other Virginia locations to find out which might have the tree we wanted in stock for sure.)
This location had about a dozen large trees for us to choose from, & it took about two minutes to get a very helpful employee to carefully load it into the back of our pickup. Checkout was quick, & the discount coupon we had for the tree was cheerfully accepted.
All in all, a pleasant experience — as all our experiences at other Meadows Farms have been throughout the years.

Staff is rude and disinterested. Selection of garden plants went downhill this year. Always enjoyed bringing my dog along for the treat and water stand. Last time we were there, my dog was looking for the water/​treats but nothing was out. Some teen employee just looked at her and said, «sorry, no water today! Just an example of the disinterest that is rampant at this location. We’ve stopped going back and we’ve dumped thousands of dollars at this place over the years.

I have been to this location for Meadow Farms many times– but not going back-/
The manager (I think) Tom is arrogant, rude
And not helpful– the coupons are not worthy of the trip– CZ

We almost always to go Merrifield since it’s right by our house. But we were driving by Meadows Farm and decided to try it out. It just rained so it was empty and there were several staff just standing around. We went about our way and filled up a cart and went to pay. There were 4 teen-​aged looking kids behind the counter all watching a video one of them had pulled up on their phone. We literally stood there for 2 minutes before they even acknowledged us. There was nobody in line but us and it was almost as if we weren’t there. My wife and I considered just walking out, but we just spent the better part of an hour in there selecting plants.
I’ll never go back and Meadows Farms. We have a pretty massive landscape job occurring shortly and guess who won’t even be considered for the job. We’re sticking with Merrifield.

Watch out for misleading sales advertisements. Today, their roadside marquee stated $ 6.99 perennials as a special. After selecting and paying for about a dozen of them (the cashier did swipe the scanner on her sales sheet so I thought I was getting the discount), it turned out I had not selected the «right» perennials for the sale. Apparently those were set off to the side on some table.
The other reason for the 2-​stars: customer service. The cashier’s attitude was «i could care less about you», and the manager walked away after informing me of my mistake while I was still talking to her. They have a nice selection of plants and trees, and I’ll likely keep shopping here, but I certainly left feeling deceived. Buyer beware, I guess.

Customer service: Every person picks up phone sounds like they are mad at you. Obviously I am calling because I have problem and need your help. I am a paid customer.
Product: I hired them to do hardscape for the walkway. Paid $ 3500 using travertine. They installed it late Nov 2013. It is now April 2014 and there are loose stones. Overall I think it looks nice but it has only been 6 mos and there are some repairs needed. Luckily there is a 5 yr warranty on the workmanship and material so let’s see how well this warranty holds up. I will provide update after the repair.
So far this process of contacting them has not been easy. I had to email 3x and called once to get status. I feel like I need to stay on top of it otherwise nothing will happen.
I learned a big lesson. I should have gotten 3 quotes and read more reviews before signing off. And follow your gut on your impression of them.

Why get an overpriced christmas tree from a chain store when you can get one from the specialists at a much better price with even better quality plus you can support your locally owned business too! This nursery is one that I believe has been overlooked due to its appearance but when I want to buy plants I want to go to people that have good quality product for the best price.
I got my baby christmas tree from here last year and I swear their prices can’t be beat, so before I headed over this year I checked Home Depot and Lowes and even Merrifield Nurseries… nope… still the best price and just the cutest tree. I’ll upload a photo of my tree bedazzled. :P
There front shop is bare bones but has all your essentials. They aren’t about wowing you with all the extras, you came for some plants and that’s what they got, quality horticulture. The staff is extremely friendly and the bon-​fire that was raging outside was deliciously warm.
I gave them a 4 because this was the 2^nd time getting my christmas tree from them and I plan on going back for another from them next year. Looks can be deceiving and you get your price break in overhead by not paying for all the gimmics.
