I appreciated how prompt Juan was in his communication, and he went back and forth with me several times to discuss approach and provide numerous options. I was especially impressed that he shared a mock photo showing how the new plants would look in my space, this was super helpful in really visualizing what the landscaping would look like and help me make a decision. We also had him do some power washing of concrete areas and a window well, and in the words of my husband these came out "hilariously clean". Definitely recommend him, and I look forward to working with him again.

Cannot say enough good things about Derek and Thomas Landscapes. We have been customers for a…read moredecade, but I was prompted to write this due to his above-and-beyond recently by saving my boxwoods. If you have them, you know how long they take to mature and ours is a LONG hedge because we're on a corner. It would have been devastating (and expensive) to lose them, but Derek noticed a blight we never would have noticed or known about, treated them as part of his regular yard service, and they are healthy now, and amazing. (He also helped our crepe myrtle avoid that bark scale that was going around the city's crepe myrtles last year!) His crew is efficient, thorough, and kind. I LOVE the way my yard looks when they've finished. He also put in our back patio years ago, and created a pretty "sitting wall" on one side of it to define the space. Love, love, love.

I have never left a review of any type in my life. I'm writing this one because my experience with…read moreDerek has been beyond horrible, and I would not want anyone else to go through what I've gone through. We first approached Derek b/c an acquaintance had him landscape their backyard, and we liked the results and wanted something similar. When we met him, it was clear that he is an extremely talented gardener and a highly creative landscape designer. His prices were high (and he quoted some materials costs that were obvious lies), but we were excited about his vision and agreed to move forward. We give him a deposit of 1/3 the budgeted cost and were expecting to start in several weeks. Three months went buy. After a month of silence, he gave us a story about a toothache. And then Covid. Etc etc. We'd go weeks without hearing from him, and eventually I thought we'd just be out the deposit (In hindsight, that would been preferable). But then he resurfaced, we had a great conversation and put some detail behind our plan, and agreed to move forward. We got part of the project done. He put in an flagstone patio that was uneven. He planted a bunch of plants, none of which were on our agreed upon plant list. Fortunately I work from home, so I was able to run out and stop his crew from making the most egregious mistakes, like concreting in fencing posts in the wrong location. We made our second payment, against my better judgement, with the understanding that he'd fix some of these issues. We tried to finish the project, but after he ignored our last email and set of text messages, we just thought he'd dropped us. But then the invoices started showing up. Invoices for work he never did. When we tried to communicate with him about this, his line was that if we wanted anything additional it would be "extra." And then the emails, each one nastier and more threatening than the last. No matter how calmly or rationally we attempt to communicate with Derek, his responses are always mean, insulting, and threatening. If you own a home in DC, chances are you've had some crummy experiences with a contractor. (And hopefully some good ones - we definitely have!) Derek is next level awful. I would recommend that everyone stay away from him. If you do end up working with him, you should definitely do what others have recommended and get everything documented in writing, in detail. I pray your experience isn't as awful as ours has been.

Was late to calling me for our initial appointment…read more After stating what I am looking for, proceeded to tell me I need to consider something else (even though I've done a lot of research and discussed this design with other professionals). -Told him I was considering DIY some portion to keep costs down. Pitched a ball park, that was way high and not competitive. I told him I was expecting everything I was looking for, for that price range. He then proceeded to insult my ability to DIY and gave off a level of arrogance akin to "If you even flinch at the ballpark you aren't the type of client I am looking for." Folks, if you can afford this company, you can do better to contract with someone who isn't just out for selling rich. IYKYK

I hired this company to regrade around my shed, replace an old wood deck with composite, and…read moreinstall pavers with a fire pit. The experience was frustrating from day one. A crew member tossed cigarette butts into my bushes--caught on my security camera. I reported it, and while the project manager apologized, that set the tone for what followed: poor communication, sloppy work, and disregard for my property. The deck didn't line up with the pavers/basement wall as promised. I warned them early, but they ignored it. Worse, I discovered they reused painted wood from my old deck in the new build--clearly trying to cut corners. After I confronted them, they agreed to fix it. Reviewing security footage, I found that one worker brought his wife and three kids (one looked about 5 years old) to help with demolition removal. I raised serious concerns about safety and liability. The company gave vague reassurances but offered no real accountability. During a return visit, their carpenter admitted to hitting my mailbox--he waited until he was leaving to tell me. Security footage showed him knocking it over and dragging it under his van before screwing it back onto the post. It's still damaged. They tried to regrade several times with just a guy and a shovel, despite our agreement that the job required heavy equipment due to nearby tree roots. Only after repeated complaints did they finally bring a bobcat to finish the work properly. The deck was eventually extended but still came up short on one side. For nearly $40,000 in grading, pavers and a significant deck project, I expected professionalism. Instead, I got cut corners, damage to my property, child labor concerns, poor oversight, and repeated failures to meet clear agreements. I absolutely do not recommend this company.

The communication is very inconsistent, they only reach out and communicate when its time to pay but they are unable to communicate simple updates about the project.

Workers would go in and out of my closed backyard multiple times, using the bathroom in my yard, step on my things and moving things in my backyard. Despite communicating my concerns, I never felt they were taken seriously and I am just happy to no longer have to work with them. Hassle not worth it, there are many other companies with competitive rates.

Without seeing the problem your company said, "That problem was not caused by our team."

It has been a waste of a lot of money to have Garcia Patios do 3 parts of a yard project: add 6x6s…read morearound a new Intex above ground pool (16x8ft) where I had to dig out two sides to make level in the gravel yard, add a ramp and platform into the pool, and 4x4s to hold back dirt along the fence that used to be wood holding back the higher grass side. I said I'd pay for 2 extra 4x4s from Home Depot since they had misguessed how many would be needed - but never expected to be charged $490 extra for them (& they said they got 4 more)! The ramp was dangerous and would not support the weight of anyone or multiple dogs on it. They had no idea what they are doing. I had to tell the 1st crew over and over to not use the above ground pool's frame as a support for it. It is meant to move with the water and is not made to support weight on it. I had to go out several times to tell them that because they would agree and then go back to using the pool frame to support the ramp. Then the platform they angle cut a 2x4 on each side as the only support. When they had that plan I said that would never support the weight. The foreman said he would send the guys to get braces for underneath. I assumed that had been done - metal support braces - but saw once they left that even a single dog on it, it bobbed up and down. I sent pictures to Garcia. He after no shows, finally sent a 2nd crew to fix it. They did add supports to the ramp portion in the end - after arguing with them because they said the few screws on the side of the posts was enough to support the ramp and weight on it! The ramp doesn't sit on the support posts, just screwed to the sides at a single post point. But the 2nd crew lead again tried to use the pool frame to support the ramp. He kept telling me "metal, very strong" as he tapped the pool frame!!! Anyone with an above ground pool knows the frame is not to support a deck on it. Not to mention it would ruin the liner. I had more heated arguments showing him the frame moves - expands and contracts depending on the water movement and insisting he not put any wood leaning on the pool frame. He gave in finally and modified what he did (removed the old few screws that held the entire ramp up and replaced with a single large screw). He refused to fix the platform not being able to handle weight. His other guy would walk up the ramp showing they reinforced it but when I said step onto the platform, he wouldn't. He knew it wouldn't support the weight. The lead just laughed at me every time I asked him if the platform could support his weight or mine. He would just say "I think it will be ok for dog". Add multiple large dogs equals a human's weight. He ignored me when I kept saying that angled cut 2x4 is where the weight load bearing point is - that platform they built is supported only by a partial board with a screw in it. More fighting about that. He added wood to the pool end of that compromised piece so from the side you would think it was reinforced but it is just more weight at the end of the platform - you have to look underneath to see that little 2" section with a screw is all that supports the entire platform over the pool. Nothing was done to support the weight at the pivot point until a lot more arguing and then he added a larger screw into that pivot point. Whether that helps or hurts time will tell. They already had several empty screw holes in all the wood. This big screw may mean with the other empty holes, even less strong wood in that narrow cut piece to actually support the weight of a human or multiple dogs. This is going to break under weight. The crew didn't care and left. Garcia charges a ton for simple projects and then can't complete them correctly. My friend and her dogs came the next day, after I showed her underneath, she wouldn't let her dogs use the pool. I didn't blame her as it's not worth a dog or person being hurt due to shoddy building of it.
