Landscape - Has anyone used Love & Carrots?

If yes, what was your experience? Was the consultation expensive? I'm looking to turn my front and back yards from lawn/weeds to food.

Thanks for any information you can provide.

We had a terrible experience with them. They were $450ish or so for a consult and soil test.

I don’t think I could take a company seriously with a name that sounds like a 2005 mommy blog.

They are good but very $$, or at least for us it seemed expensive.

OP here. Thanks, that is quite expensive. Maybe I need to find an alternative.

I have two books that cover the topic of making attractive food gardens at home, both written by women who do this for a living:
From the Ground Up: Jeanne Nolan
Kitchen Garden Revival: Nicole Johnsey Burke
Rosalind Creasy’s edible landscaping books are also classics. You might be able to get some ideas there.

OP here. Thank you! I will take a look at them.

They charge to come and give a quote? It's a bit insulting.

Do they have any competition?

They charge a lot for a consult and a soil test (basically free if you mail the sample yourself).Very $$.

We've used them and found it very much worth the money. We now have three beautiful raised beds in horse troughs and get tomatoes, snap peas, cucumber, carrots, and kale.

I talked to them and just decided to do it on my own. I planted tomatoes, peas, sweet bell peppers, carrots, lettuce and kale. The soil test was useless since I went with raised beds. Plants want to grow.

They setup 2 raised beds for me to grow vegetables. They did everything so that it was turnkey for me. But like others said, it was very expensive. I was happy with their service and would do it again.

Cost? What did you do the following year?
