Landscapers in Silver Spring

“Wow. Don and his team are incredible. If I could, I’d give them 10 stars. What a difference Silver Spring Landscaping has made for our property.

Our backyard was a mess. It sloped off abruptly, and badly needed a retaining wall to stop it from crumbling through erosion. The previous owner had placed great numbers of concrete cylinders along the slope, then covered the cylinders with dirt in an effort to level the yard. As you can imagine, over time the cylinders shifted and dirt rolled down the slope, carrying our plantings with it. We couldn’t even replace our back fence because there was no terra firma on which to build, just shifting dirt.

Don talked with us and was able to imagine a solution far better than anything my husband and I could have imagined. Don and his team (including the foreman, William) excavated all the concrete cylinders (no small job). They build a substantial hardscape retaining wall, and properly leveled my yard. They took special care with water control, installing different type drainage systems. They installed a new fence, planted new sod, and designed and planted beautiful new perennial plantings. And all of this within one week!

Truly, the attentiveness and care William and his crew displayed throughout the project was noteworthy. I asked a lot of questions, but they never made me feel that my questions were unimportant, or that I was a pest. At one point I noted the new fence did not completely seal off our backyard from our neighbors. They revised the design immediately so that the fence completely sealed off the yard. Don was just as attentive to our needs, going out of his way to make sure we were happy with plant selection and placement.

I’ve worked with contractors in the past who “do the work” without truly caring about the work. This is not Silver Spring Landscaping. All of them, Don, William, and the crew, made it clear that the quality of the work mattered to them as much as it did to me. The professionalism, skill set, and knowledge of their craft is exceptional.

Both my husband and I are awed by the finished product, especially when we remembered what it looked like just a few days prior. We are so glad we engaged Silver Spring Landscaping. Don is the rare combination of artistry and skill.

I’ve attempted to post a few before and after pictures, but I’m afraid they are not very good. Still, I hope it gives you an idea of the transformation.“

“Luis & his team were fantastic to work with. He communicated well, delivered solid value & high quality work. I would highly recommend Dubon's!“

“Don Thurber is the exterior landscaper you've been searching for! From start to finish, Don made the process stress-free and enjoyable. He was always on time, kept me informed about the project's progress, and managed to exceed my expectations while staying within my budget. Don is a true professional who takes pride in his work. He's friendly, easy to talk to, and has a clear commitment to his craft. I am beyond thrilled with the results of my project, and I know anyone who works with Don will be just as satisfied. Don, thank you for your incredible work and for taking such great care of my exterior space!“

“Have been with this company for years. Good prices, good work, good customer service. Very reliable. Highly recommend.“

“Baumann's Lawn & Landscape is second to none. Rick took the time to get to know us, listened to our needs and wants, asked great questions to get us thinking outside of the box, proposed ideas we hadn't thought of, and then working with his landscape architect, came up with a design we absolutely loved. Then, he and his team worked their magic to turn the design into reality. Our yard has been truly transformed... from a swampy, muddy disaster to an inviting, breathtaking, and artistic escape. It is the best part of our home now. The final "product" is even better than what we could have hoped for or envisioned during the design phase. Rick is a good man, true to his word, treating our yard as if it were his own. He was patient with our questions, concerns, and very high standards. He was communicative throughout the process, was always on time for appointments, and returned our calls and texts timely. His team was amazing, talented, hard working, and respectful of our property and neighbors' yards. Through transforming our yard, Baumann's has transformed our family's ability to enjoy and appreciate the outdoors.“

“We had been having some pretty serious drainage issues in our yard. After getting an absolutely outrageous quote from someone else, we called Greg. He quoted a reasonable price and did an absolutely amazing job. The work he did was put to the test during a heavy storm and there were no issues.We will one-hundred percent call him for any landscaping or drainage need.If you want the job done right, call Greg.“

“My dog ran away and got onto their lot. They called me immediately and kept him safe until I could get there to pick him up“

“I cannot speak highly enough of Green Sweep and I have experienced a ton of landscape companies in DC/ MD as a property manager. In particular, Juan at Green Sweep provides excellent communication, service & delivers high quality results. Highly recommend Juan and Green Sweep!“

“Stone Garden did work on both our DC homes. Both projects were significant ($10k + each). They were competitively priced and, more importantly, did great quality work. The projects took a bit longer than planned but for good reason - they are meticulous at what they do… never saw them rushing. I’d rather have that! Sam is great to work with as well.“
