Home Services reviews in Bethesda, Maryland

I’ve been using Natures Friends Landscaping for many years. Their expertise in tree cutting and care, yard clean ups, garden design and lawn care has made my yard the envy of the neighborhood. The workers are friendly and considerate.

Cliff and his team were very professional and quick to respond. Cliff took the time to listen to what we wanted to have done, offered great suggestions and the end result was fabulous. We would highly recommend his services.

Cliff and his team did a superb job rebuilding the retaining walls in my backyard. The end product was high quality and beautiful, and Cliff was great at communicating.

I’ve used Natures Friends Landscaping many times over the last several years and have to say they are second to none. From lawn care to tree trimming and tree removal, Cliff and his crew are always friendly and responsive. The pricing is very reasonable and their quality of work is excellent. I highly recommend their services

Cliff was great to work with for our backyard garden and planting on the front yard tree. He was honest, communicative, and highly compentent. Very, very happy with the work that was being done and pleasantly surprised at the competitive pricing. Highly recommended.

Cliff & his team have helped us with seasonal cleanups, planting & removing trees. They start and complete their work on time, and always do an excellent job with our yard. Prices are reasonable every time.

I was very impressed with Nature’s Friends Landscaping. The entire experience was seamless. Cliff, the owner was quick to respond to us from day one and communicated extremely well throughout the process. He was very thorough, knowledgeable and pleasant to deal with and the work was done to perfection and on time. I couldn’t be more pleased with the results and I highly recommend this company.

This company cleaned up my large yard (shrubs, multiple flower beds, a million vines) and trimmed a huge tree for me. I was so impressed. Cliff is straight-forward, responsive and professional. He obviously knows his landscaping and gardening and he answered all my questions thoroughly. I have had some negative experiences with contractors in the past and this was such a positive one!
His team has been working for him a long time (some for over 20 years) and they also really know their stuff. His tree guys did an amazing job opening up the canopy of my immense beech tree. Then his team spent a full day weeding, clearing and mulching the perimeter and all of the flower beds all the way around my large front and back yards. I have perennials everywhere and they recognized them and were very careful to preserve them. They pulled out a huge amount of English ivy and innumerable other vines. They were meticulous and worked super hard and efficiently. They totally exceeded my expectations. My yard looks so beautiful now, like well-kept parkland, and I am inspired to go out and garden again. I recommend them whole-heartedly.

The best word I can use to summarize the yard clean-up at my parents’ house by Nature’s Friends is THOROUGH. Cliff walked through the entire property and identified not only the type of plants and trees growing there, but what shouldn’t be there—that is, all the voluntary growths we needed to get rid of. He brought his tree guys in, then the landscaping crew to trim and clean up. They’ve completely transformed the place. I love it. I plan to give them a call should we need work done at my own place.

Cliff and the guys at natures friends landscaping are awesome. My partner and i have a pretty large yard. We both work full time and have a 6 month old so staying on top of all of the maintenance has been pretty difficult. When i put out a request on yelp for quotes for a clean up, Cliff was super responsive, came out to see the yard and gave me a great quote on the spot. They came out today and he transformation has been unreal. It’s a real weight off of our shoulders. We’ll definitely be calling them again!

Cliff and his team are wonderful. We communicated with Cliff off and on for a couple of years, as we tried to make sense of a variety of drainage, landscaping, and hardscaping problems plaguing our yard. Cliff outlined plans, explained how we could handle projects together or in phases, and provided a proposal attentive to our budget concerns. We delayed in starting with the work, but when we contacted Cliff a couple of years later, he responded quickly, re-evaluated the situation, updated the plans, and got to work. I say all of this to point out that communication with Cliff -- and ultimately his team -- is excellent. With regard to our various projects, we started with the most pressing drainage and hardscaping issues. Nature's Friends installed an underground drain to move water from a downspout away from the house along with a French drain -- all collecting in a dry well (with a pop-up dispenser) near the edge of the yard. They covered the drainage system nearest to the house with pavers set in concrete, which also connected an existing patio with a storage-room walkway. The work was handled with great care. We saw immediately the positive results of the drainage system. And the hardscaping looks great. Cliff and the team checked in with us throughout the project. When we had questions, they answered them quickly and ensured they were completing the project with all of our concerns addressed. We are completely happy with the work, and we're excited to move into the next phases of our landscape improvement, knowing Cliff and his team will handle the work well. I highly recommend Nature's Friends Landscaping.

Cliff and his team were excellent! They completely transformed our backyard and were very helpful walking us through the options and figuring out all the logistics. Highly recommend!

Cliff is so knowledgeable and his team did a great job bringing our yard back to life after it had been neglected and overgrown. We also used his team to help with some water management to get our gutter flows farther away from the house. Very happy with the quality of work and the communication.

For the past 7 years I have used Natures Friends for seasonal cleanup of my large, heavily wooded yard, which can frequently become extremely overgrown with weeds and undergrowth. Cliff Bressler and his hard working team consistently transform the area to perfection. Cliff has also coordinated completion of a new flagstone patio for me.

I would not hesitate to fully recommend Natures Friends for all landscaping needs, with the caveat that services are very costly. The premium paid does reflect a high level of quality.’

Cannot say enough about the professionalism, skill, hard work of Cliff and his crew. I live on a hill that’s hard for me to cling to … coupled with “I think” I’m a gardener” (I’m not) so rush home with a new plant and plop it where I see space.
Natures Friends Landscaping have saved the yard, the eyes i”and sensibilities of our neighbors, and my husband and I immediately sat outside and just walked around going “ahhh.” We could not be happier. Cliff is great with walk throughs so he can know exactly what you are wanting, schedules the visit, walks the yard again the morning when they come to work, then a final walk through when done to be sure he did what was wanted.
He did! And then some.
Highly recommend - I won’t be using anyone else going forward.

Our yard needed a lot of work after a long time of neglect, and Cliff and his team did it all (including pulling tall vines off the side of the house and taking care of poison ivy)! They were very professional, knowledgeable, and easy to communicate with. They also don't require clients to get on a contract, which is quite nice. Yard looks great - would definitely recommend!

I would highly recommend Cliff and Natures Friends Landscaping. Cliff came by personally the same day I reached out for an estimate, did a thorough walkthrough of my property and gave me recommendations that not only were going to save me money, but also keep the aesthetics. He and his crew arrived on time, worked efficiently, were incredibly professional, and left my yard and the street impeccably clean after all the trees and branches were removed. Cliff and his crew were outstanding from start to finish, and I will be hiring them again for future projects.

Cliff and his team has been great. We have done significant work on our yard this year - pathway and railing repair, new fence, and tree trimming. His prices are reasonable and the work has been stellar. Plus, he's responsive and quick.

Great job in cutting down the gate to my patio. Very fast and courteous service. I highly recommend Natures Friends Landscaping.

For the last 2 years, Cliff and his team have helped my family and I out with fall cleanups and they have been absolutely amazing. We have a big yard, 2 working parents, a very busy toddler and 3 pets so our summers can get very very busy and our yard upkeep typically takes a back seat with the exception of the bi-weekly mowing. It's a beast of a job but every time Cliff is willing to jump in and his extremely hardworking team turns our jungle into the cleanest house on the block. Huge thank you to Cliff and his team! See yall next year (or probably sooner)!

Cliff was very responsive and communicative with me. He listened to my needs and gave his expert advice, enthusiastically and respectfully. He was able to pop by the same day we spoke luckily, and by the next day are back in front yards were pristine! Thank you so much for your help and I’m looking forward to working with you again as we plan our new fantasy garden!
