"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!"

"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"

"Lazaro and Carlos were wonderful. Lazaro was very patient and helpful while selecting plants. Lazaro was fantastic with design. Both were fantastic to work. They designed a front and back garden and they look amazing! I highly recommend Horizon Landscaping and will be a return customer. Thank you Angie for the recommendation!"

"I hired Baumann's Lawn and Landscape to fix my front lawn. The soil was mostly clay and sand and covered in weeds. They killed and removed all the vegetation, tilled the soil, brought in new topsoil, conditioned/fertilized, and then laid sod. The crew was fast, efficient, polite, and did an amazing job (hopefully this site allows me to upload photos after writing this). The work was done in 3 separate days and took less than 2 weeks from the initial phone call to the finished installation. The price is what you would expect for this level of work and that much sod (sod is not cheap). They're not over-priced but it's not Bob's discount landscaping either. You'll get your money's worth for your project. Baumann's will be my #1 choice for future landscape projects."

"We had an excellent experience. They came out and gave us a very fair quote. I felt no pressure while deciding on what design we wanted. They day of installation could not have gone any smoother. They are a very professional competent team. The fence is exactly what I had hoped for, we now have a little oasis of a backyard."

"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!"

FAQs for design and decorating projects in Washington DC, DC

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.
