Home Services reviews in Silver Spring, Maryland

Silver Spring Landscaping completed a two part project for us this summer and we are really happy with the quality of work. We had a crumbling timber retaining wall that they replaced with a terraced engineered stone wall (pictures shown), then they completed a Nicolock stone patio, buried and extended drainage pipes from our gutters, and replaced an old wood fence with a more welcoming architectural aluminum fence (see pic). The guys really went over and above to make the work visually appealing, and it was obvious his stone workers were real craftsmen! I would not hesitate to use Silver Spring Landscaping again on future projects.

Don and team are fantastic. Executed the designed vision, were flexible and amenable to changes as needed, showed up on time, and stayed on schedule. Overall fantastic job and a great company and team. Before and after photos loaded

Don and his team are the utmost professionals. When we first began, Don referred to what he’d do as “transforming” our yard, and that’s exactly what he and his team did. Wonderful to work with, high quality results and top notch people. Highly recommend.

Don has done great work for both our patio and the front of our house. Both transformations are unbelievable. I recommend him and his team to anyone. Very professional and timely service, and his prices are fair.

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.

We contracted with Silver Spring Landscaping to repair retaining walls and upgrade our plantings. They developed a design that is staged to bloom from spring through fall. Their team was prepared to do the work as soon as our contract was signed. The team was here working every day with the exception of rainy days and Sundays. They worked carefully, efficiently and carefully, making sure that our new plantings were adequately watered and that our site was clean at the end of each workday. We love our renewed yard and garden. Also, several neighbors have complemented our design and noted the team’s impressive work ethic. We would happily recommend Silver Spring Landscaping for hardscape repair, garden design, and planting.

So pleased with my experience. I had a small project with a modest budget and Don worked with me to design a project I could afford and that transformed my backyard. He patient and knowledgeable and responsive. I'd work with him again; highly recommend

Knew what to do the first time

American Landscaping did a fantastic job trimming several of my trees just as I wanted. I plan to use their services again in the near future!!

I’ve worked with this company for the last 3 years and they do excellent work. I’m very pleased with their service.

We have used American Landscaping's services for several years for landscaping, spring clean up and tree removal. They are always prompt to come out and give a proposal quickly and work is done in a timely manner. Brian and Karen are helpful in making suggestions for plants which will thrive in our area. Luis and his crew were professional and friendly. I highly recommend this company and have referred friends who have used their tree removal services.

Helpful, tons of Christmas trees

Professional and well educated about everything landscape. Beautiful Work!

Good place to get firewood. Easy good quality wood

theyll notch your trees with the weed-eater unless you have the tree in a mulch bed.

The owner, I forgot his name was supposed to have an appointment with me on 5 date and he missed 3 and came about 45 minutes late on the other two. I'll never come here again.

Great place to get Christmas trees. $60 cash this year any tree cut fresh. $2 for credit cards. Not bad with everything so expensive this year.

This is my third consecutive year doing business with this company, and have yet to be unhappy with their work. They're honest and reliable, and they'll give you what you want if they're clear on the info given to them.
I look forward to doing continued business with them:)

Twice had wood delivered and I noticed that the wood was actually stacked perfectly in the truck to show that it was a cord without question. The wood was seasoned and hardwood. Just now got another cord and although the wood was not as seasoned (because I got it in the middle of winter) it is burning great! Excellent.

American Landscape is a pleasure to work with. Our HOA community has used American Landscape for several years now for landscaping, tree work, firewood, and snow removal.
- local, family owned, and they personally come over to check on you
- they take of their employees
- fair and honest pricing.
- they designed our community gardens and custom plant for each homeowner’s front yard
- very responsive by phone, text, and email

Highly recommended - Small HOA Community in Silver Spring, MD 20902

Fantastic from beginning to end! I've been watching them maintain property near me and decided to contact them. Glad I did. I cannot say enough positive things about them, starting with the high caliber of customer service and dedicated employees and ending with the highest attention to detail and customer satisfaction. They follow up after the job is completed to make sure you are satisfied. Thank you Karen, Brian, and the entire team for making this an enjoyable experience. Looking forward to a continued partnership.
