"This company went above and beyond for my wife and me. We wanted a balcony with steps but we had an HOA to go through. Shaun talked to my HOA several times and even visited the HOA property management company to drop off and speak to them about my build. His two workers showed up each day even on the weekend to get the job finished in a timely manner. The 2 man crew did a phenomenal job with keeping my lawn as nice as they could and even replaced the dirt and bricks they had to dig up for the posts. This was the best experience we have had in a long time with contractors and I thank Shaun and Maryland Remodeling &Design/Build for restoring my faith in contractors."

OVER 100 YEARS COMBINED EXPERIENCE AS YOU PATIO AND HARDSCAPE EXPERTS! SBC Outdoor Services was founded in 2015 by Brad Crist. Brad had over 15 years of experience in the industry and wanted to create a landscaping company that could hold true to the concept of “quality landscaping.” Ever since then we've been constantly growing as a high-end hardscape, landscape design, and commercial maintenance business. Over the course of our existence, we've earned a great reputation for quality service and we aim to not just maintain our reputation for excellence but to constantly improve it. That's why we only hire the best of the best. Our management team alone has over 30 years of experience in the industry and members of management used to maintain the White House. The rest of our team is similarly qualified and has over 100 years of combined experience. At SBC Outdoor Services we believe that landscaping is an art, not just a skill. We not only teach our employees proper installation methods but also encourage them to take initiative and to completely pour their imagination and skill into their work. Our design and installation divisions make sure that the product will be very functional as well as attractive while our maintenance division employees take great pride in the ongoing beauty of your property.
"The hardscape was installed in 2019. From the onset, there were problems with SBC and it's staff: problems with not following design (it is supposed to be a semi-circle - see photos) stairs that had to be rebuilt three times, wrong color posts, failed to insert the post sleeve-skirts, cap stones were not glued, plants were not properly spaced, major damage to my driveway, damage to my solar lights, dumping construction waste on my neighbor’s property, and a sales rep who wouldn't return my calls. The facade of the hardscape developed a major crack months after being built, and again in 2022 (twice within 3 years). SBC designed the hardscape so that all rainwater would be flowing to the front of the retaining wall, causing structural damage to the wall. The owner of SBC, Brad, was aware of the flaw and tried to correct this flaw by installing a drain in front of the wall, but the wall continues to crack. The drain should have been installed in the center of the hardscape, elevating pressure on the front retaining wall. This major project came with a 60-month warranty. However, because SBC wants to skirt its responsibilities, the owner no longer wants to make repairs, and NOW states there was only a 36 month warranty. This hardscape project cost nearly 30K, and in return, I received sub-par workmanship, poor quality, unprofessional conduct, and a patio that continues to crack.

Yes, a properly constructed gazebo increases your home’s value by creating an attractive and functional outdoor space. A sturdy, well-maintained gazebo elevates property appeal and enhances marketability by adding dedicated entertaining and relaxation areas. High-quality materials and expert craftsmanship directly boost curb appeal and ensure a strong return on investment.
Gazebos are stand-alone structures with a roof and floor, and many include additional amenities like electricity and full kitchens. Pergolas, on the other hand, typically attach to other structures or parts of the home. This allows pergolas to get by with minimal flooring and simple roofs made up of rafters.
In certain parts of the country, a permit is required to build a gazebo on your property, though this primarily depends on the size. For instance, smaller gazebos may not require permits, but structures larger than 10-by-10 feet will require building permits. Each municipality differs in this regard, so contact your local regulatory agency for more information.
A concrete slab provides a critical, secure foundation for your gazebo. A strong concrete base ensures long-lasting stability and enhances structural integrity, helping the gazebo withstand severe weather and support heavy roofing. A dependable concrete foundation minimizes safety risks and fortifies the overall construction of your gazebo, protecting your investment.
Hiring a professional to install your gazebo ensures a secure and durable structure. Professional gazebo installers bring specialized expertise, precise adherence to building codes, and the necessary tools and equipment to complete complex assembly tasks safely. Their skilled workmanship minimizes risks and guarantees a robust construction that outperforms a DIY approach.
