LiveWell Outdoors recently renovated the back of my house into a beautiful and highly functional…read moreentertainment area. Once I contacted the staff, I was pleasantly surprised by their professionalism, knowledge and commitment. In fact, I was assured by the designers, the build would be unique and spectacular. I had some requests which may have been a little odd at first, but LiveWell's courteous, experienced and efficient construction crew was a joy to deal with. They accomplished a significant amount of work from one day to the next. They let me know precisely what they needed and always communicated how they would mitigate interruptions from unforeseen events, such as the recent snowstorms. The elite crew was few in numbers but accomplished so much in a relatively short amount of time. They even impressed others with their professionalism. I had a few neighbors stop and they were impressed by the finished product. I have nothing but the highest of praise for LiveWell Outdoors...they deserve it.

They designed and installed my rear patio and sidewalk with pavers last year. My project this year…read morewas to have a privacy fence installed, a garden wall with a front patio using the same color pavers to match the rear patio and walkway. Teri Adams designed the landscaping on all of my property both years. Comments from neighbors of the garden wall, front patio and landscaping include "it is gorgeous", "looks like something from a magazine". I couldn't be happier with the completed projects! Teri was easy to work with, she listened to what I wanted, kept me informed as the project/s progressed. Costs were competitive for companies that are licensed and insured to do the work. I highly recommend this company!

This was my first time using them and I was very pleased with this firm and will use them again for outdoor projects.

Fantastic Experience!…read more Kathleen and her team are amazing! It was a fantastic experience from the beginning to the end of our first landscaping phase. Our first contact with Petro Design/Build Group was with Tricia, who walked us through the process, answered our questions, and put us in contact with Kathleen to schedule our consultation. Tricia is very professional, personable, and a joy to talk to. Kathleen arrived at our home for the consultation - not just on time but early. Immediately, we were greeted with a smile and a kind nature. We walked her through the yard, and she asked us what we were looking for. She is extremely easy to talk to and is very engaging in listening and suggesting options. The whole time she took notes, which was refreshing to see since previous landscapers we consulted just nodded and provided a design that did not meet any of our needs. She evaluated the slope of our yard to determine the wetter areas and took measurements. When she was done, she told us she would have a design for us by the end of the following week. We had our consultation on Friday, and she actually had our design emailed to us that following Monday. She provided a detailed sketch with multiple concept options and walked us through each area of the design. She responded quickly and answered all of our questions completely. She was always patient and understanding and never once did the process feel overwhelming. For once, we felt included and comfortable with every step of the process. Once our HOA approved her design, we were scheduled in for the first phase of our landscaping project - the front yard. She arrived the first day, preparation day, before the landscaping installation team. She went over her design ensuring measurement and placement of plant beds. Once Matt and his team arrived, Matt and Kathleen walked through everything before the team started the planting prep. Matt and his team are very courteous, professional, and extremely hard workers. We have terrible soil in our yard. It is a new build, so not only hard clay soil but plenty of construction debris throughout. They powered through removing grass, manually tilling in compost (due to nearby utility lines), and hauling away all of the debris. The second day was planting day! Kathleen arrived with all of the native plants and the trees were delivered. Kathleen and her team laid out all of the plantings according to the design with a few last minute tweaks that were perfect. She then walked us through the layout and checked if we were happy with the layout before any planting occurred. The team did an amazing job of planting everything and incorporating a few transplants. I cannot say enough about what an amazing experience we have had! We are excited to start our next phase this in early fall.

From the hello i trusted her (i am originally from here and know the comp well). I just barely moved all that we accumulated in a 30 yr 2kids marriage. i am living in the house i grew up and have not really seen in detail in many year. I already had to replace the HVAC. There is SO much. I am so very glad she took a real interest and seemed to understand the many ideas orb at the least saw how much i need. I look forward to working with Petro and will keep up with review. Anissa Elswick

I put out a request on Yelp for quotes on our project and received 4 responses. 2 of the companies were the same, but under different names. They came out, provided quotes, but were not licensed with the state. Jean Paul responded with a price and what was included. After a little back and forth, I asked him to inspect the job in person, which he did. He confirmed his price, and submitted an official quote. I was able to obtain our permit, HOA approval, verify JPQ Construction and Jean Paul were both licensed with Maryland state, as well verify the company's liability insurance. Other than a small hiccup with the start date due to not contacting Miss Utility, this project went really well. Jean Paul and his team are really nice to work with, did great work, and insures his work. We will work with him again!

If I could give 0 stars I would. This company built a fence without proper permits and we received…read moremultiple stop work orders and fines from the city. They stopped responding to calls and emails mid project so we had to hire another company to remove their mess. They also consistently left the job site messy over the 1.5 years that they attempted and failed to build a fence. Do not use this company. Please spare yourself thousands of dollars and issues with city permitting by finding a different contractor.

The company's owner and a helper installed a black chain fence around my garden in about 5 hours. I noticed that after it was installed the owner was checking it out and making some adjustments to ensure that he was 100% happy with it.
