Nurseries & Gardening near Lorton, VA

“Several years ago we re-landscaped our yard. It was time! We called Silverbrook Nursery and the owner, Buzz, came right over and we talked about a new and colorful look to brighten up our yard. He came back with a very thoughtful plan to replace all of our plants and add lots of color and interest to our planting with slow growing things that bloom at different stages, but not much maintenance. We also added a flagstone walk from the front to the back as well as a rock drainage bed around the house that works amazingly well. It turned out beautifully! We love all the nice and thoughtful details and we get lots of compliments on how nice our yard looks. We also call Buzz a couple times each year to come for mulching, trimming, aerating and seeding or spruce-ups as needed. He has always been very responsive and drops by whenever we call and his workers are all very knowledgeable and courteous. It’s such a pleasure working with Silverbrook Nursery.”

“We have worked with Campbell and Ferrara on a couple big landscaping projects. First, years ago they built our front patio and landscaping. It has held up so well and is gorgeous. We love it. So when we wanted a patio in the backyard, we naturally went back to Campbell and Ferrara. They built an Asian styled patio with fencing, stone walkway, and even a Torii gate. We absolutely love it.

On both projects, we worked with designer Chris Myers. He executed both projects, came up with design ideas, kept track of the projects. He responded to questions quickly and his team had both projects completed quickly and on budget. I highly recommend him and his team for any exterior projects.”

“Love this garden center! It's small enough to be comfortable and not overwhelming, but big enough to have everything I need. They have ample parking, chickens running around, and little red wagons to load with what you need. What's not to like? ? The staff is super helpful and knowledgeable. And I really like their little grocery store, they have great local fruits and veggies and stuff like local honey and preserves and stuff. Highly recommend! I've been coming here for over a decade.”

“Great selection of plants! Love the cactus and succulent varieties available. I always get my annual mulch haul from here, and I really recommend it. The plant clinic has been especially helpful and efficient in solving some issues with my rose garden.

Cashier staff can be a bit rude and prickly, but the garden center quality makes up for it!”

“Still a favorite once fall hits ! This time I tried their jams and I highly recommend. Mango and strawberry jams were so good and of course the apple cider donuts! A pack of donuts never make it home so we always buy 2 ?. Everyone here is always nice.”

“Great selection and friendly staff. We were very happy with our visit here. The staff was knowledgeable and helpful when I asked questions about the specific plants I wanted to plant. And the store cat was super friendly! They also have a nice selection of local jams and other goods.”

“Their prices for plants, especially the Native plants, are more reasonable than the larger nurseries. They also have a great selection. The plants are very healthy.”

“Lake Ridge Nursery has officially made lifetime customers out of us, and it’s all thanks to the brilliant, vibrant energy of Riley! My husband, sister, nephew, and I walked in completely clueless about indoor plants, but Riley greeted us so warmly that we instantly felt right at home.

The four of us were practically tag-teaming her—bombarding her with an endless firing squad of questions all at once—and Riley handled it with absolute grace, endless patience, and the warmest smile. She didn't just sell us plants; she gave us a masterclass! She walked us through lighting preferences, expert repotting techniques, specific soil blends, and even picked out moss totems so our climbers could latch on and scale vertically. Thanks to her tailored guidance, we happily picked out four stunning plants (including a fragrant Jasmine and a gorgeous Hibiscus) worth a few hundred dollars.

Her incredible service didn't stop at the counter, either. When we asked about logistics, Riley seamlessly arranged home delivery on the spot, took all our information, and then personally called us after we got home to give us an update on when our plants would arrive.

The only time she seemed even remotely bashful was when we insisted on getting her managers' names so we could put in a proper good word for her. So to Cassie and Tori: whatever you are doing, keep doing it! Having such a passionate, attentive, and customer-first teammate speaks volumes about your leadership and the amazing culture you've built at Lake Ridge. We are telling every single friend and family member to check this place out, and we can’t wait to come back for our next green additions!”

“I am so grateful that the Garden Plot took over the holly woods and vines spot. Expansive selection of everything you need for indoor and outdoor planting. Very helpful staff who always have a solution for my gardening problems. Gorgeous greenhouse space - it’s like a therapeutic little getaway”

“Since moving here a few years ago I’ve been looking for a nursery similar to my favorites in my previous location. I finally found it a few days ago. Excellent selection, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and very reasonable prices. Already planning a return visit!”

“Patrick, Chris, Sean, and Gerald all are friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful. Carry a great selection of necessary materials for making the landscape it's best.”

“I stopped by Mid Atlantic Wholesale Florist/Conklyn’s Florist to create a tropical-themed arrangement for a small party, and I couldn’t have had a better experience! As someone who loves floral design, visiting a wholesaler was such a treat.
Natalie, the general manager, was wonderful—knowledgeable, helpful, and genuinely excited to share ideas and inspiration. It was a joy talking flowers with someone who clearly loves them too.
Beautiful flowers, exceptional service, and a welcoming atmosphere - I highly recommend them to anyone who enjoys creating with flowers!”

“Working out of town on a project in Fair fax we came across this location. We needed to purchase some mulch and stone for a project near by and the staff was very friendly and helpful, fast service, and price was extremely competitive. We will definitely be using them again next time we are working in the area.”

“I had to pick up a couple of new strands of Christmas lights cause good luck finding the bulb that doesn't work lol!Was happy to see they still actually had a large selection instead of being sold out like in recent years.Got two packages of lights, a new pot for my ever-growing, orchid, and a new cute little succulent. Literally, every employee I passed, said hello to me, had a big smile on the face and it was genuine and warm and welcoming. It was a really good vibe. Steven was my cashier and he was amazing! So friendly, helpful, and he also had a big warm smile on his face!”

“Had to get plywood with exact measurements and some other extra tools.. Russ was amazing! Knowledgeable, patient and had a very good vibe! Definitely deserves a raise :)
He’ll be our go-to guy from now on. Now, the store itself is pretty good - has a large selection and helping staff!”

“Hi! I haven't been to a HD in a while, but knew this was one of the best run & well stocked from friends. Was in the neighborhood for another reason & needed Frost Covers for outside water connections, weather advisory. Stopped in on Saturday, super busy, but a fun energy, Holliday Decorations were out for Christmas- discounted early so snagged a few. Watched the little ones be so excited at the animated decorations moving & singing like being at Disney World. Garden Shop had great reductions on Flowers, so bought some season appropriate. Needed some brooms & floor cleaners, again great prices. Then the search began, Faucet Covers. Walked everywhere- no where in sight. Walked up front & a super helpful HD Employee walked up & said what do you need? I described - he says without missing a beat, back to the left, between aisles 38 & 39 in between on a display. I was skeptical but went anyway. Sure enough right where he says! Perfect experience great selection and even better prices. Thank you Biz!”

“Unfortunately I would give this location a negative 1 star due to the fact they could not match the mulch that was on sale 5 for 10 (Virgo $2 a bag). I had two employees and a manger in customer said they could match that, for the brand they have now (Scott). But when I went to cashier to get the bags, cashier said I can’t do that, ask for a manger and this other manger that came said I can’t do. I live very close by and now I have drive out of my way to another store location that farther! They lie about there deals and are sneaky about sale prices with hiding them. So corporate will hear this manager that said we can’t do, picket location all store obey by it!

I had a great experience with two employees name Raphael and Joe (will correct the name if I’m wrong) for helping me get a mechanic tool box, they were both very patient and took the time to get things rights, I respect Raphael going out of his way to get the box I want and help me with the better price. Joe didn’t leave me hanging after I ask for help for my purchase, Joe helped bring the mechanic tool box out to my truck and help me lift it, thank you both!”

“I had to write this review because of one employee who truly made my day at the Home Depot in Woodbridge — Isaiah.

From the moment I ran into him, his positive energy and genuine smile stood out. He wasn’t just going through the motions like some employees tend to do — he was actively engaged, attentive, and clearly cared about helping customers find what they needed. What impressed me most is that he helped me not once, but twice during my visit, and both times he was just as friendly, patient, and helpful as the first.

It’s rare to come across someone in retail who brings this level of enthusiasm and genuine care to their job. Isaiah went above and beyond, and it completely turned my paint shopping trip into a positive experience. Home Depot is lucky to have an employee like him representing the store.

If you’re shopping at this location, I hope you get the chance to interact with Isaiah — he’s a great example of what excellent customer service should look like.”

“I was looking for a specific drill bit. Website said they had it, but I had already been burned by that claim at a different retailer and I was under a time constraint. I called the store and the hardware associate is booked it up and went to check that it was there. I cery much appreciated the extra effort.”

“I had two brand new refrigerators ruined by BEST BUY installers leaving me with no fridge or freezer for almost two weeks. They then told me they couldn't deliver for another two weeks. I then checked online at Home Depot. They promised delivery in Three days! It was delivered, installed, the BestBuy broken fridge moved to my garage awaiting return. They took great care in not bumping walls and doors. The two men who delivered and installed did a fantastic job and were courteous and professional. I highly recommend them. What this experience taught me is that Home Depot knows and stocks appliances and Best Buy is just playing at it.”

“This Home Depot is my go-to spot because they always have exactly what I need in stock. Plus, the staff is consistently helpful and friendly, which makes every trip here a great experience. I'll definitely be back.”

“The automatic key cutter machine was different than I've use at other HDs, and there was no one available to help. Figured it out and even paid at the machine. Six dollars for a plain brass key is pretty expensive. And the decorative keys start at $9, far too expensive.”
