Jason met with us several times to gather information and to discuss his ideas on what would work with our architecture while keeping our wants/needs in mind. The design was beautiful and Jason priced out different phases for us so that we could asses where we would like to start. Phase 1 started with a stone patio with steps, a drainage system to resolve a septic drainage issue in our yard, and to plant 18 screening trees. Wildwood was very responsive and professional throughout the entire process. Jonathan, our Wildwood site manager, provided updates on when the crew would arrive, any changes to plans due to weather, and to answer all of our concerns or questions along the way. Two of the trees we noticed started to brown several weeks after planting. We contacted Jonathan and within a few days he came out to asses and treat them. We very much appreciate the care and follow up even after the work was complete. Jason has a talent and a vision and truly cares about the quality of his work - he asked us several times how we felt about the process and if there is anything he could do to improve moving forward. I am surprised at the other comments, we have enjoyed working with Jason and his staff and will continue to refer him to our friends and neighbors.

I hired Homeland Contractors VA in March 2024 to address a drainage issue in my backyard by…read moreregrading a swale and installing a drainage pipe. Initially, the work appeared to solve the issue. However, just over a year later, the swale began collecting water again and failing to drain properly. The pipe they installed also became clogged. I reached out to the company a few months after the contract's warranty period had expired (March 2025), hoping they would stand by their work given the relatively short time since completion and the nature of the problem. Unfortunately, Mario, the owner, came to inspect and told me he would not be doing anything. He simply referred me to the expired contract, despite the fact that the issue clearly related to the work his company had done. What was even more concerning is that, after our conversation, Mario informed me that he had recorded our discussion without telling me beforehand. While Virginia law may allow one-party consent, I found this behavior highly unprofessional and unsettling. I'm writing this review to share my experience and caution others. I expected a contractor that would stand behind their work, especially for a project as important as drainage -- but that was not my experience with Homeland Contractors VA.

This might be my first ever Yelp review, but I felt there were a few aspects of my experience with…read morethe Larin company that led me to speak up. 1. Scope of Work: I found the company's business card in my mailbox or under my doormat and wanted to support a local small business. I was in need of landscaping for our new home, including mulching, trimming, and weeding. 2. Issue Arises: Roughly two weeks after Mr. Larin and his team finish the job, we noticed that the varieties of mint that we planted in our garden had been (incorrectly) removed. Rather than take ownership and apologize, Mr. Larin's wife accused me of lying about the mint - only to later ask why I didn't alert them to the mint (that I apparently never had in the first place!). Doh. 3. One Month Review: I was prepared to take this one on the chin and never use the company again. But one month later the job, a massive infestation of weeds returned (which essentially sent us back to square one). Yesterday, another contractor giving us a quote for another project made an offhand comment that we needed weeding done (of course we do!). But he was surprised to hear that we paid over $2k for this work the month prior. He believes the team either did not hand pull the weeds from the root or did not lay down a herbicide etc. to prevent regrowth, but explained that both steps were "a no-brainer." Conclusion: I'm hoping this unfortunate saga (including dozens of texts and money wasted) can help someone out there! Consider finding a landscaper who stands by their work, puts their clients first, and goes the extra mile not to earn a quick buck but rather earn a client for life!

Bartz Landscaping has done an amazing job helping us to achieve a vision for our small backyard…read morelandscaping. With only a couple of online pictures of an idea, Sean was able to help draft an initial design that was unorthodox, few would have thought of, but worked perfectly. The crew completed the work in a highly professional way and from start to finish really transformed a typical small slice of grass to a cottage inspired baseline for us to watch grow and add small elements to along the way.

My husband and I started working with Bartz landscaping in April 2022. I interviewed 10 companies…read moreregarding installing a patio in the backyard of our Urbana townhouse. Bartz was able to quickly send someone out to give me a quote. He was really nice and energetic, but he never got back to me with a price. A few weeks later, I emailed Bartz to see if they were still interested in the job and was informed that the person who had given me the quote no longer worked for the company and my initial quote had been lost when he left. The owner came to my house and gave me a new quote. I was really impressed with their social media, professional website, and for a fee, they do a really nice 3D rendering so you can see what your backyard will look like when completed. We decided that doing 2 smaller patios with some 1-3" rocks in between the patios would be more cost effective than one huge patio, which is what we really wanted. I was super clear that I wanted the pavers from the garage to the door to have some sort of grout or be spaced really close together so we wouldn't be kicking up rocks when we walked across them. I was told the grading of the yard would be very subtle to allow for drainage, but we would not even notice it. We worked together, and after a few changes to the rendering, we all seemed satisfied with the ideas and with the price. We were told our patio would be completed by the 4th of July. I think had everything gone smoothly, it would be a 5 star review. It is now October 24th and my patio has still not been completed. The initial patios were completed during a huge rainfall during the 2nd day of installation, so a lot of the poly sand washed away. The slope of the yard is way more extreme than we talked about with the walkway to the garage and the rocks actually being much higher than the patio. The rocks we received for between the patios were much larger than 1-3" rocks and they were so full of dust that the rains turned that dust into mud piles in my yard (I would have not gone with rocks had I been told this could be a problem and I would not have gone with rocks had I known they would be so huge). They were not able to put any poly sand between my walkway pavers, so they put rocks in between the pavers that were too big and got kicked around when we walked across them. They used a metal grid around the patios to secure the pavers that I have never seen on any other patio and it looks terrible. But, whatever, we were just going to have to deal with that. We decided just to deal with the huge sloping as well, but we did ask them to redo the poly sand, remove some of the larger 5-9" rocks that are difficult to walk across (and just look ugly), and to fix the rocks between the pavers. They happily came back to do all that and they used gravel in between the pavers. Not what I wanted, but less rocks are being kicked around when we walk across the pavers so it was a satisfactory solution. Then more rain came and the poly sand washed away. Again. I contacted them and was told a rep from the poly sand company would come and address the situation. That appointment got canceled, so they were just going to order a "stabilizer" to be applied to the poly sand. I received an email that said the product never arrived and they canceled my appointment. That was a week ago. I have not been contacted again. The poly sand gets more and more washed away with every rain. Let me be clear, the owner and the staff from Bartz are VERY, VERY nice and professional. Every single person I worked with was very nice and pleasant. They are all in their early 20's and excellent with technology, social media and with the 3D renderings. However, they are not excellent at problem solving or being realistic with customers. They are terrible at following up with an unhappy customer and we just continue to get unhappier the longer we go with our patios being unusable. Had I been told upfront that using rocks in between the patios was a bad idea because they would collect mud and be difficult to walk across, I would have gone with gravel or spent the extra money on grass. When I inquired about doing some flagstone or artificial turf to replace the rocks, the extra price was absolutely insane. Again, this could have been a 5 star review but it has been over 6 months since my initial patio was installed and we can't use the patios. We can't walk safely across the rocks in between the patios. We paid them $12,000 and we continue to have our poly sand wash away with each rain. We can't let our pets on the patios because they like to lay on the pavers and they become covered in crumbly poly sand. I am extremely frustrated by the lack of communication. Sending an email to cancel an appointment just does not suffice after 6 months of being unhappy with landscaping we spent a lot of money on. At this point I wish we had gone with literally any of the other companies I interviewed and I could not recommend Bartz to anyone I know.

Rather than mill up their mistake and resurface the drive correctly, Slonaker's poorly patched up the mess. Now, almost three years later, it looks terrible. New cracks emerge all the time. Other contractors estimate that the $5,130 Slonaker paving job is going to cost us up to $25,000 to fix. I cannot recommend Slonaker. Addendum: The owner has replied to my initial review and fabricated details about a tree being the cause for cracks. This is inaccurate, and certainly would not account for asphalt cracking all over the driveway, or the uncured "goo" in several locations on the drive. Plus, the job was under warranty, as per the contract. As for his crew spilling sealant all over the street in front of my neighbor's home, I'm surprised he admitted to it. I had not even mentioned that episode in an effort to keep my review focused on the major issue. But my neighbor was furious, and the incident is another example of Slonaker's bungling. The crew, who arrived six hours late, decided that hosing down the spilled sealant with water, which flowed into, and fouled, Craig's Run, was the ideal way to deal with the situation. We are very disappointed. We stand by my original conclusion: we cannot recommend Slonaker's.
