Landscaping reviews in Fairfax, Virginia

Blade Runners Inc. has successfully completed several projects at our home over the years. In all cases we have been quite satisfied with their work. For several months we had a problem with improper rain water run-off, which was causing flooding in our basement. Blade Runners installed two underground drain pipes from our downspouts, brought in good quality topsoil and graded and seeded the area so that the water would be diverted from our home. Thanks to your excellent work we have avoided the band-aid solution of a sump pump with battery backup.

I wanted to add to my review, have been very happy with their work at my HOA for many years.

It always upsets me when I read these reviews on line, during the most recent blizzard and it was the largest blizard in the area and the fourth biggest blizzard to hit the East Coast in the past 60 years Blade Runners did what I thought was a good job. Was it perfect, no but hell the county couldn't even clear their roads. Where did these people think they were going to go? Over all very happy with the service I was happy with the communication they provided my community and to me and overall I will continue to use them in my association is long as I am involved on the Board of Directors. Thanks again blade runner for all your help we look forward to working with you for many more years

**Updated - 8.5.19 - We continue to work with Blade Runners for years. Very Happy and will continue, have already renewed our contract for 5 more years.

Love everyone at Blade Runners. Warm and professional. They take great care of our neighborhood, and they did a terrific job installing French drains in our backyard. They went the extra mile of clearing weeds and brush after, no charge ~ our yard looked amazing.

Bladerunners does an exceptional job, at a competitive price. I've used them for over 10 years on my property and can say definitively that when I DON'T use them, I regret it. I can't begin to count the compliments I receive on the health of our lawn. Great job guys - keep it up!

Blade Runner's was helpful from the first call to the office. We had someone out the next day and have been very pleased with the work done. We have only used the lawn mowing services but it has worked out well. They come every 7-10 days.

Updated 08-20-2019 - just wanted to say how happy I was with our recent interaction with our account manager. He took time out of his evening to attend a recent Board meeting to help answer questions and go over options for our contract renewal. It was much appreciated, especially for the newer members and residents!

I have used Blade Runners for many years for our HOA, I used to be on the board but now just a resident and work on the landscape committee. We have had the same account manager for many years and they respond quickly, answer questions, and offer suggestions. I'd be happy to recommend them to others that need a good HOA grounds maintenance/ landscape maintenance company.

We needed 2 large bushes removed from our property. I received a response within 24 hours of my email request. The price was very reasonable and the landscapers did an excellent job pulling the bushes out and cleaning the area afterwards. Will definitely consider Blade Runners for future needs.

I have used Blade Runners for my yard care and maintanance with great results. They also did drainage work for our association behind my house. They did a great job and made sure to keep the area clean while they were working. Highly recommend them!

I have recently joined the board of my condo/ townhouse community. I am in the process of reviewing contracts the association has with our vendors. I have now met with my Blade Runners rep 2 times, they have been responsive and easy to work with. I email them, they email me back need info they provide. When we walked the grounds they suggested areas of improvement and provided cost, we found one area and they said "this is up to our standards" and had it back in shape the next visit. Nice to have a good interaction, with this contractor.

Blade Runners has pruned a beautiful old tree on our property so that it stays in good health and has removed another old tree that was not healthy. Both times, The work was done professionally, efficiently, and timely. Blade Runners also cares for the landscaping in our townhome cluster and the community common grounds look amazing.

We engaged blade runners a few years ago to mow our grass each season. They always did a great job! This year we expanded the service to include spring edging, trimming, and mulching. We were even more impressed. Our yard looks amazing thanks to the blade, runners staff, Amy, who set it all up for us!

I've seen things, you people wouldn't believe, attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion, I've watched C-beams glitter in the dark near Tannhauser Gate, all those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain

We have been very satisfied with Blade Runners' work over the years. Their team has kept several large, mature trees on our property well-pruned and healthy. In addition, we recently had them remove an 80-foot tall maple tree that had reached the end of its life. The removal process was very well executed. Minimal disruption for such a large project and so quick. The team kept the project site neat and tidy. Communication throughout was excellent. Would strongly recommend Blade Runners to anyone and how can you not love their name??

Update: They did come and remove the neighbors leaves yesterday, 12/18/2024. I had already blew mine back into one of our gardens because with the rain and such, I wasn't sure when they would come back and I didn't want the grass to die in the gutter area. Thank you.

Blade Runners, "picked up", leaves for our area last week in Reston, Va. They picked up a large pile of leaves on one side of my own driveway, however, they neglected to continue to the other side of the driveway and also didn't pick up the leaves in the gutters from my neighbors. When we sent an email to our HOA, Blade Runners responded and stated that the hose for their leaf truck couldn't reach the gutters and asked that we move the leaves closer to the street. If that was truly the case, then how did Blade Runners pick up the big pile of leaves by my driveway that were in the gutter? I personally saw the leaf pick up truck and the accordian hose is more than capable of reaching over 4 feet into the gutters. Their complete lack of customer service and unprofessionalism for only 10 minutes of work required is unbelievable. Don't use them, they are lazy, they don't care about the customer, just the paycheck. We will be submitting our vote to discontinue their services at all HOA meetings.

My hoa uses this company and they make the street and sidewalk clean BUT blow all the debris into my yard and neighbors yards. They also can’t identify what is grass and what is a hydrangea bush as they decided to weed whack my hydrangea bush to the roots. If you’re looking for a landscape company I’d suggest finding one that actually knows what they are doing and that won’t destroy your plants.

If your hoa uses them for community mowing be sure to keep a close eye as they run heavy equipment along fence lines causing damages to personal fencing and don’t take any accountability for the damage they cause. Thanks for damaging my fence.

Find someone else, they have stopped answering or returning our HOA phone calls after they failed to salt/sand our neighborhood prior to the snow storm, they did plow once about 2 hours into the 2 day snow storm and didn’t reapply salt. Now it’s 3 days later and we have 6-8 inches of frozen solid ice up our culdesac. So far there have been 4 cars stuck.

Do yourself and your neighborhood a favor and find a different company.

They plowed our neighborhood (Timbers HOA- Forest Creek Ct.) once and basically trapped all the cars in the middle parking lot. This was yesterday. I had to spend hours on end shoveling to get my car out. This company has severely inconvenienced myself and all my neighbors. If you’re an HOA looking for a contract, do not contact blade runners.

My HOA uses this company and I’m constantly asking them not to blow debris and weeds into my small yard. When they do leaves in the fall my entire front yard is filled up to my door with leaves they blow into the woods and use my yard as a place to pile them. It makes it VERY hard to try to keep my yard nice. I’ve called them with my concerns before and the manager laughed it off saying they don’t do that…

Can't communicate...sloppy work...

Work truck was road rage and end throwing a bottle and hitting my car
