Home Services reviews in Silver Spring, Maryland

I recently had Martin's out to revive life into my very sad looking backyard. They did a fantastic job--from doing a general clean up to laying down sod to creating a more defined play space for my kids, Martin's was quick and efficient. Great value and excellent communication throughout this whole process. I highly recommend!

Martin Landscaping has been transformational for our landscaping. Daniel and his father and everyone on the team are top notch, incredibly detail oriented and super reliable and responsive. We struggled with our yard and plantings for years until we found Martin’s and they have completely rejuvenated everything at a fair price. Completely recommend them!

Daniel and team are great and communicative. Very happy with my back patio landscaping !!! Highly recommend

Daniel Martin and the team from Martin Landscape are wonderful to work with. They provide high quality, caring, and personalized service. I highly recommend them.

Since our initial conversation the Martin Landscaping team provided great customer service. They showed up on time and gave a thorough price quote. Their pricing was very reasonable for the scope of work and their maintenance has been great as well. Any request that I've made has been met with a quick response and quality workmanship. For any landscaping needs, I highly recommend Martin Lawn and Landscaping.

Did a great job on our driveway and decks.

Octavio is the best. Very hard worker, fair prices, and responsive. Highly recommend!

They were very responsive, and did a great job with our lawn, which is not straightforward, and mostly can’t be done with the big mowers. To that point, they were very reasonably priced, and respectful of our stuff (moving sprinklers, kid’s stuff, various gardens).

Octavio and his team did an amazing job landscaping my property. My family and I are very happy with the result and the professional job he and he crew brought. Great pricing for the quality he brings to the job.

Octavio Landscaping has done many projects for us. Weekly lawn care, building three retaining walls, seasonal yard clean ups, flower bed weeding, grass recovery. Octavio is honest, fair, and very patient with me.

This company is amazing. They did lawn care for me after we had a pipe replaced in our yard. They did an amazing job. They cleaned up after themselves completely. The Employees were so kind and helpful and respectful. The owner inspected the job himself to make sure it was done correctly. You will love this company. They now do all of my yard work from mowing and landscaping work. They are the best!

The men from Octavio Landscaping did a great job, in a bit over a week they built and back filled 2 beautiful retaining wall in our back yard.
The workmen were very polite and professional, and cleaned up after themselves, they even swept the drive where some rocks had fell.

Octavio and his crew are the best! Octavio is so patient and is great at explaining what needs to be done. The work is always clean, well done (knows exactly what to remove, what to trim down, etc), and professional. We have worked with him on a variety of projects at several homes in MD and DC, and everyone has always been very happy with the work done.

Excellent experience in working with Octavio. Very honest and good business man. Did an excellent job an updating our front patio. Would highly recommend.

Octavio and his team are fantastic. He comes on time when you set an appointment. He is, as other reviews have said, very clear in his explanations of the work to be done. He was reasonably priced with regard to both jobs he has done for me. He and his men go the extra mile. I had all the trees on my lot removed 10 trees, they swarmed over everything and got it done in a day. They are now replacing a retaining wall and they improved upon my original request. I cannot say enough about Octavio and his team’s work and I will definitely hire them for future jobs.

Octavio and team were absolutely incredible. We could not have asked for a better contractor. Unlike other contractors who can be very rigid and will pull out fancy planning tools, Octavio focused exclusively on our satisfaction, taking each step as it came and making changes as we proceeded. They installed a large patio with walls and beautiful details, including lighting, transformed our side yard (garbage area) and installed a new flagstone walkway in the front of the house.

They did odd jobs like installed a gutter on our shed, fixed our gate, installed electric and water under the patio so that it's ready for an outdoor kitchen. They moved our a/c unit from the back to the side of our house, fixed our chimney, and they installed a second smaller patio/seating area in the corner of our yard.

Whenever we had the slightest complaint, he immediately remedied the situation. In fact, half the pavers were down when my wife told me that the border was not where she wanted it, and they had no problem re-doing all the pavers. He worked with us on every detail, including figuring out how the walkway and border should flow into the patio.

He even moved and replanted some plants and trees without us even asking! I was pleasantly surprised as I was doing some landscaping to see that he relocated a Red Bud tree into one of our garden -- one that he had pointed out to me that had sprung up in one of our flower beds.

We could not recommend Octavio Landscaping highly enough. And their prices were very, very reasonable.

I have been using this company to do our yard, front and back, for several years. The service has been exceptional. The owner, Rafael and his team, are taking care of my property on a regular basis. We have also used him for our gutters, collecting leaves during Fall , as well as planting flowers, etc. He is reliable, has great attention to detail, his team work is above and beyond . Hid prices are very reasonable. I have recommended him to several of my neighbors and they now use him on a regular schedule; they too are very happy with the services provided. It's not easy to find someone good these days. We are happy that we found SES Landscaping, LLC.
They are highly recommended.

Where to begin. They did over 36 thousand dollars in damage to my property and refuse to even discuss it, removed several trees without my permission, operate without a licence or proper insurance, refuse to respond to emails for literally months - the only communication I received from them was a bill after they did the damage, and ultimately forced me to go to a legal battle to recover funds to repair their damage.

Please don't make the same mistake I did. DO NOT HIRE THESE PEOPLE.

EDIT: 12/10, Amazingly, Mr. Miller has managed to go from just a civil case to a possible criminal case as well. After seeing the reviews Mr. Miller took it upon himself to trespass on my property without my knowledge or consent to "review the work," and ask questions of other contractors at my property.

Lee been taking care of my place for a couple years and it’s been great. Very responsive to questions or issues. He’s done new plantings for us as well as lawn care. I have some neighbors that use him. Everyone is happy with him.

Miller Landscapes has been providing their service to our 36-unit townhome condominium community, since 2022. I’m the Maintenance Supervisor and an owner within the Westbard Mews, located in Bethesda, MD. Our community has benefited from the quality work that Lee and his team have provided, including improving our landscaping and stonework needs. Additionally, we engage them for our snow removal services, so essentially, we have year-round coverage for our grounds. On those snowy mornings, it is common for Lee and myself to be on the phone around 5:00am discussing present and anticipated conditions for deploying his crew. What is really special is that Lee and his crew are all good people and fantastic to work with. Lee is from this area and his team has been with him a long time. We feel confident and lucky that we can easily communicate with Lee and his team. Lastly, Lee has been very responsive as our needs evolve and a wealth of knowledge.

I did an extensive research on retaining walls construction and landscaping garden design before choosing Don's company. Some other companies might seem to be less expensive but do not have the solid knowledge and experience as what Don has. Also some other companies might seem to be more expensive but do not seem to know this field as good as Don. What we were looking for is a company that really knows the business and also has extensive experience on both stone construction and gardening. It is hard to find because most companies are either this or that but not both. Luckily we had Don help building beautiful retaining walls, planting beds, and a dry river bed (Japanese pebble garden) last month. We were very pleased by the work of his professional team. After that, Don helped planting beautiful trees, sodding, and gardening few days ago. Before, during, and after the projects, we had a lot of discussions with Don. We told him our ideas, and he gave us his professional advice. If you are planning to do some projects similar to ours (stone walls, patios, and gardens), look no further because I have done much more research than you possibly thought. Reasons: 1. I don't want to pay for people to learn to do these projects (which means cheap works are out of consideration.), and 2. I don't want to pay stiff price for companies that charge unreasonable price (which means pricing needs to be reasonable and with highest quality professional works). With that said, our next phase of stone gardens will still need Don's help. We are glad to have him helping us.
