Get matched with top interlocking pavers for driveways & floors installers in Potomac, MD

"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."

"I began working with XtraCare through the RiverSmart homes program, when I contacted them for a quote to refinish my NE DC rowhouse backyard with permeable pavers and replace an unstable retaining wall. Due to the cost of such a project, I did not hire XtraCare at the time. As a number of other reviewers mention, stonework is expensive, but you understand why when you see how hard the crews work and the scale and weight of the materials involved. After talking with a few other contractors to decide on a less expensive project scope (gravel instead of permeable pavers), I contracted XtraCare for an estimate - and to my surprise, they gave me the best price and a great design. XtraCare did an excellent job with the project - they used high quality materials, and the crew worked hard and had a good attention to detail throughout. They even got the job done despite COVID shutting down the regional economy towards the end of the project. I also appreciated how communicative and responsive XtraCare was throughout the process. We did have one hiccup when they switched my project manager and an important detail was missed, but they corrected the problem promptly and switched me back to my original manager (Cleber, who I recommend highly). I definitely recommend XtraCare."

"We contracted with Ms. Lily and the MA Landscaping team to redo our back patio on Capitol Hill in DC. The original patio had a dilapidated fence, an uneven brick floor, and overgrown shed. The moment that Ms. Lily stepped into the space, she had a vision for safeguarding the historic nature of the patio while integrating a modern look. She was receptive to our ideas and offered her own, which allowed us to come to a great combined vision. She didn't try to oversell us or pressure us into taking dramatic, expensive changes that weren't important to us. Throughout the project, Ms. Lily was hands-on, responsive, and receptive. The work was completed in 2 weeks. Her workers were friendly and when unexpected developments arose, they quickly sought our input as well as hers. Ms. Lily visited the property each day to inspect the progress. The final result was a patio that exceeded our expectations! We were thrilled by not only the end result, but also the journey to it. Many thanks to Ms. Lily and her team - we would absolutely recommend them!"

"Bottom line up front: This is how working with contractors should be! Hands down, this is the absolute best contractor we have ever, ever dealt with!
Our project was the removal of an existing dilapidated deck to be replaced with a new patio constructed of Nicolock pavers, surrounded by a two-foot high sitting wall. The project required than an existing window from the basement be sealed and stairs constructed to sliding glass doors. The design also called for four exits from the patio, all with steps (either up or down). Because of the location of the sump pump drain, it was necessary to reroute the outflow into a dry well, which they also constructed. Some minor regrading was involved, too.
The salesman, Mike Walters, was knowledgeable and easy to work with. We had drawn out the shape of the patio we wanted and based on some research, had some specific requirements as to how we wanted the patio constructed. Mike worked with us to make appropriate modifications to the contract to meet our needs. Notably, he also pointed out one thing we wanted that they wouldn't be willing to do because it could cause problems later. It was a minor issue and my wife (who is an engineer) said his reasoning made sense. We appreciated a salesman who was willing to say No and give a good reason instead of just agreeing to everything just to get the sale. The bid he gave was not the lowest we got, but we were much more comfortable with this company than the low bidder.
We had scheduled the job well in advance and everything began on time. The job took about 2 weeks to complete. The workmen were extremely competent and hardworking. They cleaned up after themselves well every day (the only complaint we have in this regard is that their truck leaked oil and nothing was done to clean it up).  
There were several times when adjustments had to be made to the original plan due to unforeseen circumstances. The owner explained the situation and made recommendations and let us decide how we wanted to proceed. No pressure, just information. Even better: at least twice that I recall, they redid work they'd already done without us having to say anything to them because they knew it wasn't quite right rather than letting it slide and hoping we wouldn't notice (as other contractors have done). The quality of work was first rate. They made sure to slope the patio appropriately to ensure water flows away from the house, which was a serious concern. The only hiccup we had was that they didn't install geotextile, as we'd requested (and included in the contract). When we pointed it out, they were going to remove all the fill and put it down (without argument or making excuses), but we decided that if they'd extend the warranty to from 5 to 10 years, we'd be okay with not having the geotex. They agreed and work proceeded. 
Throughout the process, the owner, John Morgando, visited the site regularly and made sure we were satisfied with everything. After the project was done, he stopped by and we mentioned wishing the grade outside the patio was a little higher, and he offered to take care of it (no charge). He also said that if there was still any efflorescence on the pavers in a few months they'd come back and give it another scrub. 
The end result is simply phenomenal looking (check out the photos)!

"I had a flagstone patio that was sinking and uneven due to subsidence. The company removed all the stones, rebuilt the base with a proper slope away from the house, and reinstalled the stones. The price was fair (I had some higher estimates and some lower) and the quality of work was excellent with a good attention to detail. I most appreciated that Lazaro offered a vision for a better patio. My original request was to just replace the stones the way they were, but he made recommendations on how to improve the patio (with the same amount of stones) that led to a much better final project."

"I love my new patio! The installation took to full businesses days and I was able to use the patio 24 after the work was done. What I appreciate the most about the company was that the owner was only a phone call or text away if I had any questions. Everyone was extremely professional and from excellent craftsmanship, I know that they take pride in the work that they do. I would highly recommend this company for your landscaping needs!"

"I have never done a project like the patio they did and I could not be happier with the process, and the work Mike and his team did. He helped my wife and I scope out the project and listened to what we wanted and how we wanted to use the space. His suggestions were thoughtful and the end product turned out just as we had envisioned. There was no pressure during the process and he took all the time we needed to answer questions. His crew worked incredibly hard every day they were here, and you could tell they took pride in their work, focused on little details I couldn’t even envision, and had fun while doing it. This definitely showed in the end product as it looks great and I am extremely happy with the quality."

"Professional and accommodating, Dave and Cathy adjusted to our changes without hesitation. Our patio is beautiful and we are pleased with the result. We do recommend this company. Charles & Sharon"

"We have a very unusual home; we have a large first floor condo in a multi story condo building.  To our great surprise after we bought this condo we discovered that the entire backyard of the building belongs to this unit.  We decided to have the backyard landscaped.  It happens to overlook a forest in Kenya, so it has an incredible view to start with.  We got hold of Divine Landscaping and the boss of the firm who is the chief designer named Jaime Pocnur is a brilliant designer.  It is fantastic and we knew that he knew a lot.  This year they had some garden tour where some people are invited to visit various homes.  Our home was nominated to be exquisite and it was exquisite.  Our backyard stood up being the star of the show of all the homes that were open to the public to visit.  Everybody said that ours has been a hidden gem because nobody knew we had this here.  The cost included the specially selected furniture's as well.  It was worth absolutely every penny.  One thing that I can tell you is the owner did not study or work with but he is the disciple of the greatest landscape designer of all times.  It was that background that made it possible for him to come back with this incredible design.  We were blessed to have this opportunity.  We use it for festivities all the time and in fact it happened few days after that home and garden show.  Our condo building happened to have its tenth anniversary celebration and so we visited the building to have that day's at our home.  Jamie just made me like it, he does not handle people work as well as he might but he's completely on up.  He's a good manager of his crews; he has a large crew of Central American stone masons that make these incredible things happen.  His father actually started the firm and he was even more into landscaping.  There have been other people in the community that have used this firm also and it's my impression that they all like him too."

"These guys do really great job, their prices are very reasonable and quality of services is always top notch. Landscaping is their specialty and nobody does it better. Try them once and you'll stay with them for years."
