“I have worked with Ed Ball and Exquisite Exteriors for over five years on several projects and their knowledge, experience, attitude, and ability to work well with sub contractors and homeowners is outstanding. Ed Ball and his staff are always professional and courteous of others and his integrity is first class. Ian Williams President/CEO Encore Custom Audio Video, LLC”

“We can't say enough great things about Outdoor Spaces! The designs are considered, professional, and unique, and most importantly the owners are patient, considerate, and great listeners. Their passion, depth of knowledge, and commitment to excellence are obvious in every project they complete, big or small! They complete their projects on time and with care, and their staff/subcontractors have always met high standards for keeping the work area clean and organized even DURING the work. We've worked with Outdoor Spaces year after year and typically are planning our next project even before they finish the current work. We refer them to everyone we know but their work really speaks for itself!”

“I have used Yard Sharks for mulching, tree cutting and 13 large stump removals. They were punctual and accomplished the job quicker than I anticipated. I will definitely use them again.”

“The crew came out and did a great job pulling out and replanting the foundation planting at my home. The pulled out 7 old azaleas and 3 newer ones, The 3 they replanted in another area for me. The new planting was done quickly and all the material appears to be doing great. The Paperbark Maple is of excellent quality and well shaped. The crew was courteous and polite. The nandinas and hydrangeas used in the new planting were of excellent quality and size. This was not contractor grade material, true nursery stock quality.”

“We have used Landscape Concepts continuously since 2012 for landscape services, mowing and routine maintenance and clean up. They are really good at minimizing any disturbance of surrounding plants when they are working. They keep our property looking as good as it can be. Their crews are excellent: thorough, efficient, respectful and responsive. Their clean up after working is always really great. They have planted, transplanted, and removed trees, bushes and other plantings at my exact direction (I'm very hands-on). While the cost to guarantee their plantings is high (60% of the cost of the plant material) it is the industry standard and Dale honors his guarantee with no-cost replacement. They do excellent hard-scaping (stone walls, brick and paver patios, etc). They are usually pretty prompt, but some seasons are pretty busy, so give yourself some lead time if you have a hard deadline. Dale is very knowledgeable, responsive, accessible and easy to coordinate with. I find a lack of continuity with landscape architects on staff, so it is helpful for you to have an idea of what you like or want when it comes to designing a space. I always keep a project plan with detailed notes and make progress updates. Credit card payment is not accepted.”

“Don is a creative landscape architect that my wife and I have found to be resourceful and diligent in planning our backyard pool, patio, hot tub, deck and golf green. He spent time with us upfront to understand our needs and although the plan grew in scope as we became more aware of what our backyard could become, we are very happy with the result! ”

“I had a great experience with bacqyard. I had a million ideas for my small backyard but just couldn’t decide. Working with a designer helped me create a space in my home that I absolutely love. Jonathan was great; we had a video call that allowed me to express what I was looking for in my design. He responded quickly when I made several design changes. I also loved that when it came to matching me with a contractor, they did a fantastic job of helping me find a good contractor in my area. I find I would definitely use bacqyard again! I have already recommended them to several friends. We are breaking ground in a few weeks and I am soooo excited!! Thank you, thank you!!”

“We use Iris Design Associates as our exclusive landscape architecture firm. Mr. Josh Schaaf is as talented, experienced, professional, and courteous as any landscape architect in the entire Metro DC region. There is a reason that highly-respected pool companies in the area use him for all of their projects. From comprehensive surveys, to hand-colored designs, to 3D renderings, Josh has all of the skills and ability. Josh and his team are sincere, genuine, and ethical. If you are looking for experience, character, and exceptional results, Iris Design Associates is your best option.”

“It is a pleasure to recommend Magee Design. I sought 5 quotes for hard and landscape work for the front yard. Although two were less expensive, John's design took the project to the next level for just a little more. For example, he introduced curves to the walk way using materials that better matched the house exterior. He introduced a handmade dry stack retaining wall and natural Virginia plants. The result - our new front yard was featured by the National Wildlife Federation garden tour in May. We could not be more pleased with how this project went and what a pleasure it was to work with Mr. Magee.”

“Clear Blue Landscapes provided a landscape design around my pool, as well as a hardscape design for a fire pit and walkway. The current landscaping around my pool was overgrown and they provided a new design that we were delighted with after installation. The new plants and shrubs give us a a great deal of visual interest as well as seasonal interest almost all year long. In addition, they designed us a stack-stoned fire pit, stone walkway, and stacked-stone bench for sitting. The hardscaping design is very funcational, and has provided us with hours of relaxation around the fire pit. We found Clear Blue Landscapes very professional to work with. We were kept informed through every stage, and were provided excellent advise and design work. We would highly recommend them!”
