Emerald Landscaping has been our steady landscaping company at my office for a long time now and we…read morecouldn't be more grateful for their service! What's the most special part that we have seen with the crew that works here is the extra attention to details. I planted bulbs myself and a few other plants that Emerald did not put in over the years at my office. In essence, they could have just pulled out my plants as they don't match the existing shrubs and I'd have no right to complain. However, they did not. After carefully removing all of the mulch, the crew lovingly re-mulched around my bulbs and it could not look any more fantastic. Right now, someone is giving these spring bulbs even extra water and love. I am sure any other commercial landscaping company would have just ripped them out and mulched over it as fast as possible, to get to the next job. The gentlemen that show up here are very polite and professional too. They really go the extra mile and take pride in their work and it shows. Also, super fast snow removal too!

Emerald Landscaping completed gutter drainage work for our home in the Fall of 2025. At the time…read moreof completion, the work seemed to be completed up to specifications. Unfortunately, at the start of summer 2026 it was clear that the drains could not handle heavier summer rains. One of the drains had water gushing out of the cleanup valve (photo). The follow-up communication with Emerald was underwhelming. They declined to help me troubleshoot the issue unless I paid a $98 site visit fee. Instead, they proposed additional work to rectify the issue without acknowledging that the work was not completed correctly in the first place. Their "proposal" is comical- it looks like something my 5 year old would draw (photo). I've since redone the work myself with a drain that is properly sloped. I've also included photos of a leaky downspout they would not acknowledge along with an upgrade I did myself with $50 in parts from Home Depot.

We met with Luis Figueroa (President of CSM) some back in 2020 to come up with designs for our back…read morepatio. He worked with us, and had some great concepts. We paid him a healthy fee (about 15% above competitor quotes) because we believed in his sales pitch of what he could do. I've never felt like more of a fool. When working up the designs we settled on constructing a patio using a patterned and styled stamped concrete with a fieldstone-lined firepit at the edge to make a beautiful centerpiece to our rural Loudoun home. There were a number of delays and slipped schedules getting started, but we didn't think anything of it (now I know they were indicators of Luis' trademark mismanagement and lack of professionalism). I started to get concerned as I watched the crew fumbling with how to stamp concrete. His crew (including his lead stonemason) stood around scratching their heads a bit as they looked at the stamps, sometimes looking on their phones (I now surmise they were looking up how to do it). In the end, they couldn't get the freshly poured concrete stamped, and instead, graded it flat. Once it was dry, they proceeded to lay a veneer of concrete on top (approximately 1cm thick) and stamp that. If you have any idea how stamped concrete works (as I do now that I've had to learn) and/or can visualize how the bonding would work in this scenario, this is all kinds of wrong, as the thin layer of stamped concrete on top cracks and pops off in high heat or low cold. When Luis came by for his final walkthrough (with his girlfriend of the moment on his arm, in what set the tone for his unprofessionalism the rest of the engagement), he assured us it would settle well and the color (which came out blue) would settle down. Fast forward 6 months: The concrete is cracked, bluer, and the firepit had sprouted seams from where it was losing its foundation to due woefully inadequate footings. At this point I reached out to Luis and my troubles really began. To call him non-responsive would feel too kind. It took several calls and emails before I got him on the phone, and rather than listen and parse my complaints, he unloaded his own woes upon me as he was struggling through labor shortages during COVID. He promised to get me on the schedule in the next month. Two months later, he had not reached out. So, I reached back out to him (again, taking several calls/emails before getting a response). Again, he promised, again, he ghosted. This process repeated for a year. In each instance, rather than listen to my complaints on how poor CMS' workmanship was (my patio continued to crumble), he complained to me about his own professional (and sometimes personal) life. On the 4th or fifth round I grew frustrated, and made an implication of investigating legal action if he couldn't give me at least some kind of commitment--and within hours, he responded back to me with his legal council copied, promising that he is "very well represented and it would not go well for me." A contractor who can produce a Lawyer in minutes, but cannot schedule a competent concrete finishing crew is not the right kind of contractor. Obviously, I didn't engage counsel--as small claims would not be able to reclaim the losses I incurred hiring him to assemble an overcharged pile of rubble in my back yard... It's been 16 months since he last promised he would get back to me. I've long-since given up on the $20k+ I've wasted, and hired another contractor to re-do the work he did. I will add, the new contractor had no trouble finding labor in the same market, and marveled at how shallow the footers for my firepit/patio had been dug and was surprised it had stood up as well as it had (which wasn't saying much). Luis is the least reputable contractor I have ever engaged with. Unprofessional, and devoid of any sense of accountability. He like that friend of a friend who offers to help you with something, comes over, does 60% of it.

I had a very negative experience with CSM. The owner, Luis had a great vision for the project, but…read morethe communication was horrible, he didn't oversee the subcontractors who did the work for him, and he basically disappeared halfway through the work. Sometimes a month or more would pass without him responding to multiple texts/emails. Some of the stonework was measured improperly and needed to be demolished and redone twice. He ended up leaving several parts of the job not done at the end. He blew past his schedule by about a half year only to leave the job unfinished (I have someone else completing it) and me incredibly frustrated. Do not recommend.

There are many reasons I've continued to use Moyers over the years, and my latest contract with…read morethem is another example of their exemplary service: I needed shrubs pruned, mulch relaid, and an overgrown lawn mowed and trimmed. Dale, Jesse, and the office staff were professional and informative in all their communications (email, in person, phone). The crew's results showed that they worked carefully around internet cables, ornaments, etc., and cleaned up well. One part of the contract wasn't quite done, but a quick email from me had them out within a day to finish the job. I understand lawn service rates vary greatly, but based on this and my history with Moyers, they provide a good value. Recommend!

If you are at all "on the fence" about hiring Moyers Lawn Service & Landscaping, please allow me to…read moreshare my recent experience with them. I contracted with Moyers a few days ago to have a Green Emerald Arborvitae installed in my front yard and also signed up for general yard clean-up, to include weeding and mulching and planting of ground cover. (I have a rather large backyard that consists of lawn, hardscaping, and a lengthy blue gravel driveway. The yard also features a 5' W x 50' L raised garden bed planted with various dwarf evergreens trees and deciduous plants. It is a lot of yard and I find it next to impossible to keep it looking neat and orderly.) The Moyers landscaping team, led by Danny, arrived on the exact day and time promised (no rescheduling on their end; what a blessing in this day and age). I watched the team working from my windows and could not believe how hardworking and efficient they were. The crew was absolutely dedicated to the work at hand and cut no corners. In short, they exceeded my every expectation. On Day 2, I was greeted at my door by Danny for the walk through of the completed work. I couldn't believe my eyes. I am not exaggerating when I say that my yard was transformed. I was so bowled over that I became emotional -- to the point of tears, and I do not cry easily. Needless to say, I will hire them again and have even signed on for their Platinum Lawn Maintenance Program. In my experience, Moyers is top notch -- but don't take my word for it. Hire them and watch your yard become one you too can be proud of. Pamela Johnson Kensington MD
