"Linda performed superbly as my decorator. There were four pieces of furniture that I wanted reupholstered. Each piece was covered expertly and delivered quickly. She advised me on fabric and her suggestions were very good. Timely notices were furnished when there were delays on securing fabric. Linda was a pleasure to work with and her crafts people were excellent."

"Thank you Lily & Team: I contracted with MA Cleaning and Landscape to provide a hardscape solution under my new deck, including a concrete pad and decorative pebbles. They consulted with me on construction day, and completed the $2900 job nicely in 2 days. Being pleased with their work, I asked for help designing a landscape project along a 50 foot stone wall. That $2200 job was also done very well in one day. When issues arose, Lily handled them like a boss. I really appreciated her calling me directly to offer a solution. Lily was very kind and highly professional, which makes a huge difference with me. I am posting this review because I want people to know they can trust lily and her team to do the right thing. I can also highly recommend them for both hardscape and landscape design. I had a 12 year relationship with a prior landscape designer until she retired, and hope to continue using this company for garden enhancement for many years to come. Regan in Clarksburg, MD"

"Nothing is more important to the success of a project than effective communication. Throughout my entire project (e.g. requirements gathering, design, excavation, hardscape, landscaping, and planting) Xtra Care Landscaping & Design maintained excellent levels of communication and they did a fantastic job bringing our vision to life. From the project managers and customer service rep to the project crews and billing department, the entire team was excellent, easy to work with and responsive to our needs. Our new space looks fantastic!"

"The team of : Jordan, Tim, Ethan were courteous, professional, and patience. They, answered all are questions.(no matter how annoying)They met all the challenges of remodeling in an older bath. It was nice to have young men(women)in our home, that exhibited pride and care in the results of their work. Lastly, they left the work , and adjacent areas very clean. Needless to say, we were extremely pleased with the workmanship and materials, choices of decor and the sales consultant.(Zac Green)"

"I was matched with Lily in the site after requesting assistance with design services following remodeling work in our townhouse. Lily is fantastic to work with. We engaged with her both on an hourly consulting basis and for a design project to lay out our main level. The personal service, her availability, and above all her design were phenomenal. The highly interactive process allowed Lily to really get to understand my personal style and inspiration and reflect that back in the ultimate design she presented. In everything from floor layout to furniture, light fixture accessory selection to paint colors and the flow through the whole space to tie it all together, we couldnâ t be more pleased. Her Zbox option is a really unique approach that was both cost effective and perfect for what we needed, and also highly detailed, thorough and personal. She really â gotâ the style and feel we were trying to achieve without knowing how to get there ourselves. Iâ ve already shared her name and contact information with 5 different colleagues and friends. I highly recommend working with Lily!"

Start by defining your goals and budget. Collect photos of rooms you love, jot down must-have features, and list what isn’t working in your current space. Share these details—and your target budget—during the first meeting. The clearer you are, the quicker a designer can translate your vision into a workable plan and keep costs in check.
Yes, working with an interior designer can help you save money. Designers prevent costly missteps, secure trade discounts on furniture and finishes, and coordinate the project so you don’t pay twice for the same work. Their upfront fee often pays for itself in avoided change orders, tighter timelines, and materials purchased at below-retail pricing.
A full interior design project wraps up in two to three months, on average, while a decorating job takes four to eight weeks. Timelines stretch if you add structural changes, custom millwork, or specialty materials, and unexpected shipping or permit delays can tack on extra days. Talk with your designer about project milestones and build in a little wiggle room.
Interview at least three pros whose portfolios match your style. Review their credentials and ask for references. During a face-to-face or virtual meeting, discuss your goals, budget, and timeline, and make sure their communication style and fee structure feel comfortable. The right designer combines technical know-how with a creative approach that clicks with you.
