"I met with Dave (project manager) and we discussed extent of work needed to restore my stone patio after many years of neglect. A key feature of the repair plan was to install a border around the stone patio. Dave also recommended that we pull up most of the lower patio and establish a good base for the stones, and repoint the upper patio where mortar joints were degraded. I decided to go with Daves recommendations and Lopez ( crew supervisor) and his crew did a great job restoring the patio. I am looking forward to pressure washing the stone to bring out the color after the mortar has fully cured. I could not be more pleased with the results!"

"Very affordable, very professional and very informative about the work (technical aspects of a retaining wall). Definitely recommend and definitely use for future projects"

"Jose and his crew installed a~360 sq. ft. patio using Nicolock pavers and contrasting charcoal border pavers in 2.5 days. Outstanding job. When I asked them about using edging to prevent the pavers from shifting, I was told that he does not use edging. Instead the perimeter is first installed as retaining wall blocks set in mortar! After the perimeter is set, the site is then excavated, compacted, covered with weed suppressing fabric. The fabric is then covered with crushed stone layer, compacted and sand is then laid on top, compacted and leveled and properly graded. I chose the herringbone design shown in their logo and very happy with the choice. The border pavers are laid on top of the retaining wall blocks and are "glued" to them using mortar/liquid cement. After the border pavers had set, the crew applied polymer sand to fill in the gaps between pavers. This "grouting" was done twice. The final product is solid as a rock and not going anywhere! VERY HAPPY WITH THEIR WORK. Jose Espinal's company is insured and bonded, so hire them for your project and be worry free."

"They spared no effort to ensure that the colors of the stone and mortar matched. The work was completed when they said and the clean up was wonderful."

"This was the third time in one year that we’ve hired MD Legacy for a major landscaping job, and just like before, they totally knocked it out of the park! We came up with our own special design for a new stone garden wall, and they worked creatively and tirelessly to bring our vision to life. Even when the stone supplier delivered the wrong materials the day before, Eric rectified the situation as quickly as possible—and the very talented crew (Carlos, Jose, and Eric’s dad Reggie) worked extra long the second day to finish on time. The finished wall perfectly complements the shape of our property, and we can’t wait to start planting in it. And on top of their impeccable work, the whole team is so friendly and considerate—Jose even took the extra step of using a blower on all the cars down the street to make sure they were clean from any stone dust. We’re already looking forward to them coming back soon for the next improvement!"

"Brian Hoffman and his crew did a beautiful job. They arrived on schedule and finished the project in three days. Speaking as a retired contractor, my husband was impressed with their professionalism and expertise. Brian is such a nice guy and offered advice and good ideas. He did what he said he would do within the agreed upon price. Excellent stone work...our neighbors are impressed, too!

"I recently worked with Cleber and the Xtra Care team on frontyard landscaping for our home in Potomac. I had an excellent experience from beginning to end. Cleber and his team are professional and detail-oriented. He is flexible to work with his clients and he listens, while sharing his own ideas. Cleber's team has expertise on landscaping, which was helpful as I requested for deer-resistant trees. Pricing is transparent with detail-oriented quotes that share line-item details on each plant, stone, or other item. Finally, on the day of, Cleber and his team worked efficiently and thoroughly. Each team member was polite and hardworking, and made the overall experience a pleasure. I look forward to continuing to work with Cleber and his team on my future landscaping and hardscaping needs."
