I am in no way connected with this outfit. In fact I had a GPS guided tour of Maryland on…read more"Accokeek Road West" until I figured out that Deakin's Pond Wholesale Nursery is located on an entirely different road -- "Accokeek Road" about two miles away from "Accokeek Road West". With that out of the way, I purchased nine 4' to 5' Skip Laurel plants on 6/17/2019. The plants appear remarkably healthy as well as properly cared for & handled. The nursery men helped me load my pickup and wrap protection around the plants for the 20 mile journey the plants' new home. AFAIK Deakin's Pond Wholesale Nursery has no facility or interest in tying nursery stock to the roof of a customer's car. One thing to bear in mind is that nothing living likes being transplanted. Plant immediately, at a proper depth in a hole larger than the root ball. Water thoroughly (don't flood, instead ration water two or three times a day to keep the ground moist) for the first few weeks. The Deakin's Pond Wholesale Nursery stock looks waaaay better than what you'd find at a hardware store or big box store -- they are a professional *wholesale* nursery and clearly cater to professional landscapers who know good stock and know how to transport, transplant and care for the transplanted plants. Don't expect gardening tips and horticultural hand-holding. The staff is friendly, efficient and welcoming but you are quite reasonably expected to know what you are doing. If you know what you want and how to properly manage the transplanting process, Deakin's Pond Wholesale Nursery (and their successor) is an excellent choice.

Yelp - Review for Firuze…read more We hired Firuze for a complete teardown and renovation of a 1,700 square foot, two bedroom, two full bathroom condominium at Montebello, a 1,000 unit condominium complex located just outside of Alexandria, VA. The renovation included lowering the concrete ceilings by 6 inches in the entire unit so sheetrock and recessed lighting could be installed. New tile, hardwood floors, bedroom carpeting, and, heated patio floor were part of this extensive renovation. New wiring and plumbing along with complete kitchen and bathroom renovations were completed. This included removing and moving some walls and adding closets and renovating other closets, as well as all new doors for existing closets, all new light fixtures, vanities, and toilets. The remodel included new tile throughout both bathrooms, including new shower doors and tile. Firuze's design center has the most comprehensive and unique collection of granite, marble, and floor and wall tiles when compared to any others in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. The first question we are asked when visitors enter our condo for the first time is, "Where did you find your countertops, cupboards, and floor tile." Thanks to Firuze's great collection of products our condo meets our goal of being a unique, modern and stylish, yet most importantly, a very comfortable place to call home and entertain guests. Like any comprehensive construction or remodel project, there were challenges and problems to solve, yet thanks to Firuze's general manager, Yasin Kazanski, who assumed this position about midway through our project, he ensured that all issues resulting from a problematic contractor were rectified by replacing the original contractor with one who paid meticulous attention to detail, and who completed the project to our satisfaction. We recommend that anyone remodeling a kitchen, bathroom, or other area, check out Firuze's design center for what we think is the best and most unique collection of products in the area. Thank you Firuze for our beautiful home at Montebello! Lynn and Mary Tjeerdsma

I talked to Eric and he was fantastic! He was able to get his team in quickly, the work was performed far beyond anything I'd expected, and both he and his on-site foreman were very responsive. We had two challenges, both of which Eric and his team overcame with speed, quality delivery, and excellent customer service. We were working on a tight timetable, so I was receiving store fixtures while construction was ongoing. Eric and his team were able to work around this without any problems. Second, my initial flooring choice became unavailable between the time I selected it and ordering. When this happened, Eric and I went down to Home Depot together and found another option that looked better, was higher quality, and cost less. I cannot recommend Eric and A&E construction enough! 100% would use again. In fact, I have some upcoming work that I need to do on my home. I bid this job to five other companies, but I'll just be reaching out to Eric directly on that one.

His team is very nice and the work is amazing. We had 21 different quotes and hands down felt comfortable with Eric. He won't try to price hike after a contract begins, provides detailed updates, and quickly understands what you want. Our project was as close to a gut renovation as you could get without demoing the whole place. The project turned out amazing and was done within 2 months. We moved walls, changed flooring, the entire kitchen, stairs and rail system, new ceilings, paint, trim, and so much more. On top of the great work, he provides a warranty on all his work. I highly recommend A&E for any project. I won't use any other contractor besides them.

When I arrived, a kind woman answered all my questions and walked me over to find exactly what I was looking for instead of just pointing me in the right direction. After I paid, a young man walked me to my car and loaded my plants neatly with a bag to keep everything clean. What meant the most to me as someone starting their very first garden is that no one made me feel silly for being a beginner. They were patient, encouraging, and genuinely helpful. That kind of welcoming environment makes all the difference when you're just learning. I will absolutely be back. Highly recommend to anyone, especially first time gardeners looking for a place that truly cares about its customers.

They're also incredibly informative and helpful. I recently purchased some herbs from Ed's and their team meets you at the entrance to try to guide and assist you. It's a nice touch. Once you move on to the area where the herbs are, other folks will assist you there as well. Additionally, the selection of herbs is superior and more varied than what you'd find in the nearby home stores. Ed's also carries a ton of flowers - fortunately they are around to answer questions because the selection can be overwhelming. Bottom line: there is no better place in the area for landscape that beats Ed's. Even for Christmas trees or herbs.

The cabinets I ordered are Kraftmaid and are themselves seemingly very good quality. However, more…read morethan one of the kitchen cabinets that were ordered by Tart for me have been too short, long, wide, etc. Bita (one of Tart's designers) brought to my house Abdou from Dahlia Design - which I was told by Bita is their preferred cabinet installer. Abdou and Bita took the initial measurements for my kitchen cabinets. We designed the cabinets and ordered them with these measurements. The total price for the kitchen cabinets was ~$21,130 (see invoice). Once the kitchen cabinets were ordered Bita referred me to Dahlia Design and told me I would deal directly with Abdou. The price Abdou quoted to install the kitchen cabinets, as well as three other bathroom vanities and a few small cabinets was $23,875 (see itemized quote) which was supposed to cover the cabinet install plus any other repair work. However, I already had contractors I hired for repair work. I did not use Dahlia Design because I did not need the extra repair work from them, instead I used another company who charged me $4,400 to install only the kitchen cabinets. During the kitchen cabinet installation, my installers almost immediately ran into issues with the size of some cabinets. The tall cabinet was too wide and too tall, the over the fridge cabinet was too wide, then both blind cabinets next to the sink were too short (width), and the seated cabinets were to long. The wood slabs that also came with the seated cabinets came too long and to wide, and Tart said it was the installer who would have to cut them down. The sizing of many cabinets was so wrong, that my installer (who told me before they did it) had to leave out filler pieces, cut my hardwood floor which wasn't supposed to be needed, double the size of the pony wall... all to make these cabinets work for my kitchen. However, the cabinet install still couldn't be completed. The pictures attached with this review are the final product for now, and some adjustments are needed to fix my kitchen. When I reached out to Tart about all of this, they basically denied any responsibility for how the cabinets turned out, followed by many excuses blaming me and my installers when my installers literally did their best to install these cabinets as is - including having to leave pieces out to get the cabinets to fit. After about a week of going back and forth with Beverly who is Tart's other designer, I finally got Tart to admit to some of their mistakes, but not enough to make a significant difference in how my kitchen turned out. I was also told that somewhere in the contract for the cabinets, in the fine print, the customer basically releases Tart of any responsibility for the measurements and that the burden is on the customer to make sure the measurements are correct. The customer being liable for the measurements was something that was never discussed between Bita and I. Had I known this, I would have insisted that I have my choice cabinet installer decided before the cabinets were even purchased, and that only my choice installer do the cabinet measurements. If you are seriously considering using Tart for cabinets, come with an installer already in hand, do not trust any measurements by Tart because they sneak verbiage into their work contract to basically absolve themselves of any liability for their mistakes so they can blame the customer... which to me screams scam so proceed with caution. When the cabinets are delivered and are not the right size, they do not automatically consider what was actually received by the customer (only after much back and forth), and instead only seriously consider what was recorded in their contract which they will use to escape having to correct any actual mistakes with the cabinets. In total I waisted ~$25,530 on these cabinets from Tart which includes the price to install them ($4,400), but not even the fee to deliver them which was ~ $200. I'll have to hire another company to come in and fix everything - possibly removing and replacing bad cabinets.
