"We have been delighted with the services Richard Miller and his New Dawn Gardens team has offered us. We moved to the area a few years ago and our garden really suffered under the care of our previous landscaping service. We switched to New Dawn and everything turned around and our garden is now thriving. We liked: the care Richard provided in an hour-long visit to survey our garden and make recommendations; the organic treatments his team provides to ward off plant diseases; the careful pruning they provide to all our plants and Richard's expert advice on new plants to add. We also appreciate that in dry spells they monitor the soil and water as needed"

"NDG gets to know the client's individual needs and adjusts their service accordingly. The staff is friendly, easy to work with and easily accessible whenever I reach out. I can rely on them for recommendations when different plants die out or just don't work in my garden space, and I have received numerous compliments about the garden's appearance. In addition, I travel often, and all I need to do is advise them of my schedule; they take care of everything while I'm away."

-Keith S., Washington, DC

"I wanted to change my front garden from mainly annuals to perennial plants. I really appreciate the care and the knowledge with which the new plants were chosen. I also really like that when I have any concerns, these are addressed quickly and with a real effort to make adjustments and to give me what I want. All the people who have worked at my house are very pleasant and cooperative. I get compliments all the time from people who walk by my house on the appearance of the flower beds."

“Richard Miller has a mastery and knowledge of the physical world. He understands both the plants themselves and how to combine them with the land and environment. He can design for your particular needs and knows how to use a wide variety of materials both new and recycled to make any garden your special place. It’s incredibly refreshing to work with someone with his degree of knowledge and skill.”

-Margery G., Washington, DC

"Richard Miller has been my gardener for over 10 years. He has planned the garden, planted it, and maintained it, always anticipating what is needed and seeing that those needs are addressed. He has a keen eye and can spot other emerging issues that are not strictly within the garden, but he will point these out and where he can, help you with them. And you only have to tell him that there is a special occasion coming up, and he’s right there to see that everything in your garden is beautiful. I don’t know what I would do without him."

-Dorothy M., Georgetown

"Richard and his company have provided landscape services for us for the last thirty years. He is an extremely conscientious and knowledgeable gardener. In the years we have worked together our garden has been transformed into a personal haven—a refuge for us as well as a habitat for our local birds and wildlife."

"Through a full-service approach, we now enjoy an ever-changing display in our garden from Spring bulbs, Summer through Fall bloom and foliage displays and Holiday decoration followed by Winter interest provided by plants with berries and interesting branching color and structure."
