"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"

"Sadie Cruz from Henry Forrest bricked-up an old exterior door opening in my home. It was a difficult job because the brick house is 45 years old and the original brick was painted several different shades of tan and beige. I did have some of the original brick from installing a sliding glass door but other contractors said it would be too much work to clean the motar off the old bricks and reuse them. Sadie went the extra mile to go to 3 different brick yards to find bricks that match as closely as possible and he did clean up and reuse as many of the original bricks as he could. He also did beautiful finish brickwork around the new sliding glass door we installed. I am very pleased with his work and would definitely use him again."

"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."

"Eric and his team did an excellent job. He suggested deer resistant plants that would grow in specific areas of full sun and shade. The stones around the border tied the garden bed together and added interest to the landscaping. I would highly recommend MD Legacy."

"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!
