We bought this house about 2.5 years ago and saw a small drainage area next to the driveway. With…read morethe massive amounts of rain over 2018 and 2019, the small area become over a foot deep and started to take clumps of dirt and dig into roots. Not only was it an eye sore, but the area was quickly eroding towards the driveway. Zack at Brother Nature came out for an estimate and explained how he would be able to not only fix the problem, but also make it look great. When I left for work this morning I had a horrible eroding side yard, when I came home I found this amazingly redone stone drainage area (see picture). I would recommend Brother Nature to my friends and family. Professional (5 out of 5), cost (5 out of 5), and work (5 out of 5)

Update: A week or so after posting my initial review, the owner, John Hughes, reached out to me and…read moreoffered to "make it right" in exchange for me writing an updated review for Hughes. I was skeptical, because it was very clear to me that in his mind, the review was the problem (as opposed to my overall customer experience), but I eventually agreed. With John overseeing the project, my yard now reflects what my original expectations were. He manicured the bushes in my back yard beautifully - quickly, accurately, and non-invasively. I was floored at how expertly the work was done and how efficiently everything went. The communication level was good, and he was pleasant throughout the work. He showed up with his team the morning the work was scheduled, and explained to me that the sod could not be cut and installed until the day after (due to heavy rains), and would it be okay to come by and install it tomorrow? Thank you for the notice, and yes, certainly! :) In my front yard, which is patchy due to water damage, they installed the sod, and the yard looks really good now. They installed mulch around my front tree, and it looks very picturesque. I would not hesitate to contact John Hughes for another project if it came up. Thanks, John!

I contracted with Hughes to do work on my property to correct drainage problems. We discussed…read morecreating a swale to divert a large flow of water during heavy rainstorms away from my foundation out to a lower elevation in my yard. On the day of the job, the workers found tree roots that blocked them from digging out the swale. No one spoke to me about this. So instead of a swale, they dumped a lot of river rocks and made it look like a swale was there. I got suspicious and cleared away the rocks and found that at most they had cleared away the dead leaves. I contacted Carter Hughes about this and he said, Ya because of the roots we could only do what we could do. I asked Carter to look at it with me, but I never saw him again. So I contacted a tree company to have the tree taken down and remove the tree and take out the roots. Then I contacted Carter again and asked that once I had the tree out, he should send someone to complete the swale work. After a while going around and around with him on the phone, I realized he had no intention of completing the work, and it was useless asking. I don't believe that just putting the rock down to look like a swale and then never mentioning to me about the problem with the roots was at all an open way to do business.

Pine Ridge Landscaping did a great job helping me with leaf removal. It took a couple of weeks for…read morethem to come out once I signed the contract, but I know they're busy this time of year and I'm not on their regular schedule, so I didn't get all twisted up about it. The crew was thorough and efficient, even getting into little corners and places where I wouldn't have expected, and they left my yard cleaner than it had been all season.

Pine Ridge failed to mow my lawn two weeks in a row. I attempted to contact them multiple times…read more Keith told me they would definitely get to it on Friday. He didn't show. On Saturday he said he was on my way to my house but alas, he didn't show until 4 hours later. I asked him for a time to expect him but he never let me know. I have a contract with them but he is very unresponsive and my yard looked terrible as we were over 2 weeks without a cut at the end of May and early June. I thought the issues that I had when I initially contracted with him to mulch and seed my yard in the spring were an anomaly but they appear instead to be part of a pattern. After first contacting him to do Spring bed clean-up and mulching, I waited 3 plus weeks and they never showed even though he stated they would mulch within the week after receiving the contract. When I finally was able to reach him, I had to insist that they do the work as they wanted to wait another 2 weeks which would have put us into late May for mulching and seeding and over 5 weeks from the initial request for service. (Then he never cleaned up/trimmed the plants in the side gardens. ) The delays, unresponsiveness, and lack of communication and the fact that he clearly misled, if not outright lied, to me about being on his way are indicative of the poor customer service and an unreliable business. I would advise you to avoid working with Pine Ridge Landscaping.

He and his team were professional, always arrived on time, and the results have transformed the exterior of our home. Whenever I had concerns or questions, he was extremely responsive. I couldn't have imagined how beautiful it would be. I contacted Don because we were having some problems with the drainage that runs through our property. This was eroding our driveway and creating a hole similar to a sinkhole. He listened to my concerns and created a plan to address the erosion and beautify our property. He created a yard that will have flowering plants for 3 of the four seasons, keeping in mind that we have deer and other animals that love to eat plants, while maintaining the rustic environment. He also added a walkway so that we could easily get around the property. He was even able to use some stone plates we hadn't used. When he was finished with the project, they made sure everything was cleaned up. I would highly recommend Silver Spring Landscaping. I know I will enjoy Don's work for years to come.

We had to replace a few plants and re-seed the grass (we had the work done too late to avoid crabgrass taking over), but overall it is exactly the low maintenance yard with lots of color throughout the year that we asked for. The crew was great to work with, too. Highly 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

The yard of our new house had been neglected for many months and needed a lot of love. Jonathan took time and consideration in our over whelming yard. He provided tips for us to help maintain the great work he had done and followed up with us a few days later to see how things were going. Moving from an association that provided all lawn care to a large yard of our own was a challenge, however, Jonathan helped make the move seamless.
