"I absolutely loved working with this team! They provided practical advice on interior design for my apartment in Brooklyn and I couldnâ t be happier. They were prompt, friendly, and most importantly very professional. I will be coming back to them for any/all future design/decoration projects and highly recommend them to you as well!"

"Jose was very easy to work with. He returned my call promptly and came a few days later to get a sense for the work we wanted done. We told him that we wanted to remove some old bushes and a dead tree. He talked to us about what we wanted to replace them with and he had some suggestions on trees that would work for our yard. We showed up our deck and asked about what he could do to help spruce it up. He has extensive work in putting in new decks, but just wanted to do some maintenance for now as we have larger projects on the horizon. He was amicable to what we wanted and offered up a plan to reinforce the deck and tighten up all the railings and the gate. He also laid out the plan to refinish the deck with new stain. Later that night he sent us an estimate for the work he outlined and we were happy with price. We called him the next day and planned for him to come out with his crew on a Saturday morning to start the work.
We asked him to come at 9am and he and his crew were there at 8:45am which was great since we are early risers. His team went right to work pulling out our bushes. My wife and I left him and his team and went off to Home Depot to pick out bushes and our tree. Jose offered to get the bushes and tree for us and include it in his estimate, but we are kinda picky and wanted to do it ourselves. Again he was very receptive to our plans. After we picked out our bushes and tree, we called Jose and he brought his truck up to pick them up for us. By the time we got home about an hour and a half after we left our yard was completely devoid of this giant ugly old bushes. He and his team went right to work planting away. By around noon, his team was done with the planting the new bushes, leveling off some holes in our yard, planting and staking our new tree and was all cleaned up. He had some one in the back power washing our deck and getting that ready for day 2. Once our deck was power washed it had to dry before they could get to it.
His team was back on Monday and did a great job resealing the deck and making it look almost new again. We communicated via text for any questions related to stain colors and what kind of lattice we wanted. He was always very responsive and we always felt that he was right on top of things. The deck needed to dry after Monday so his team came back Tuesday afternoon and finished up the work including adding the lattice, providing a second coat to the deck, adding the deck reinforcing, and tightening up all the railings and gate. His team was all finished and cleaned up by 6pm on Tuesday. For the amount of work they completed it was done fast and efficiently. Overall it was a great experience and we are looking forward to using Jose again for future projects.

"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"

"Don and his team were amazing. Don designed two patio areas in our backyard along with extensive plants and lighting. The entire project was completed in 3 weeks. His team worked hard, Don was responsive to my questions, and the finished product (new landscaping and patios) looks amazing. I now want them to do our front yard!"

"To say it went perfect would be an understatement. We could not be more pleased with the craftmanship, the staff, the materials, and the professional construction we had done from this company. The photos of both bathrooms do not even do it justice because we can't capture the entire room with one photo. We have never had such amazing construction done by any contractor in the 32 years of home ownership, prior to this company. They do it all. Indoor, outdoor, heavy construction, light construction. They had to relocate HVAC ducts, plumbing, electric, and move some walls. They are a one-stop shop!! Prices were extremely reasonable."

"We had our entire bathroom entirely demolished all the way down to the support beams and fully rebuilt (the house is old and needed a lot of repairs). The entire team was absolutely amazing from designing and planning (Junior), to the project getting done (Kadir was our PM, Tony and Paul were our electricians, and all the other guys who came in to do the tilework and plumbing - I am sorry I do not know their names but they were also awesome). This bathroom required an enormous amount of work and it came out absolutely beautiful. The whole team takes a lot of pride in their work and they truly desire that their customers are happy and expectations are exceeded with their work. I am already planning more projects with them, their work is not limited to bathroom and kitchen remodels, and I look forward to working with them again. The quality of their work is guaranteed and their prices are super reasonable (big plus)."

"ATD performed basic spring clean-up and landscaping, including trimming of bushes mulching and planting of beds, adding topsoil, significant overseeding and fertilizing of the lawn, and planting of a number of new shrubs. ATD arrived on the date they were scheduled and completed the work in one day. I They were careful to perform all of the work I contracted for, and in the manner we discussed. I was very satisfied with the result and have had several compliments from neighbors."

FAQs for design and decorating projects in Kensington, MD

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.
