"Initial rep was great and informative. Felt comfortable with initial sale. Hardly had any contact from customer service except for the payments. There were several delays that we were not informed about unless we called to ask. Took 7 months before they showed up to begin project. Only 1 person was sent to build steps. Took a week. Hard worked, hardly took a break. Had to call again to see when they would come to pour patio. Never knew when they were coming, they just showed up. Hardly spoke with the homeowners. Inspection paperwork was just left on porch. Additional paperwork that is "required by the County" had to be completed by homeowner and taken to Court house to be notarized and filed and also provide a copy back to Long Fence. Time sensitive materials which added to homeowners to-do list. Gave this contract to LF on the surface of their history and appearance of a 'good local company' but should have stayed with original contactors in VA. Puddle of water forms when it rains"

"It didn’t go well. I had purchased a special offer that included a bath exhaust fan which included installation for $150.00. Mr Schools did not only honor his offer but would not, did not refund what I paid. Schools offered plenty excuses but never delivered- this event occurred over a several month period. Extremely disappointed and a total rip-off in my opinion."

Family owned and operated for nearly a century, we understand the value of our own reputation like very few others. Over the years, we've continued a tradition which goes deeper than quality work, advanced technology and superior service. Hawkins today is every bit as focused on customer service, and getting the job done right, as it was back in 1918. As technology advances, so do we. In fact, Hawkins' trains its staff regularly, and has always been quick to adapt to new ways of doing things. We remain as innovative and prepared as the days when the traffic lights we were installing were among Maryland's first. But there's just no replacement for some old-fashioned values. We simply say we're Wired for Service. It's who we are. Additional phone numbers - Baltimore & local areas, (877) 927-0900, Virginia area - (301) 419-3214. Additional contact name - Todd Shatzer. Additional service areas - portions of DC, Charles & Calvert Counties. Award winning.

"We called at around 4 pm and they said an electrician would be out in 1-2 hours. I called again at 6 pm to check on status and talked to their answering service, who couldn't give me information. No one called me back for 45 minutes, at which point she said that someone would come in 45 minutes. The electrician finally arrived at 8 pm, at which point he said the problem was probably with Dominion Electric Power Company, which turned out to be the case. So, I'm unhappy that it took so much longer than estimated to get an electrician to my house and they could have told me from the beginning to call Dominion instead."

FAQs for xeriscape installation projects in Richmond, VA

Sprinkler systems aren't ideal for xeriscaped gardens because they can't effectively water around rocks and hardscape elements. Water often runs off or evaporates before reaching the soil. Instead, a drip irrigation system is a better choice, as it delivers water directly to plant roots, ensuring efficient water use and promoting healthy growth.

Your xeriscaped garden requires minimal yet essential maintenance. Regularly inspecting and adjusting your drip irrigation system, along with occasionally adding mulch and gravel, keeps your garden operating efficiently. Routine tasks—such as pruning, aerating, fertilizing, and soil testing—promote deep-root development and sustained plant health. This ensures maintenance remains low while your garden preserves its water-saving design. 

While the initial cost of xeriscaping can be similar to or even higher than traditional landscaping, it often saves you money in the long run. Xeriscaping reduces water usage and requires less maintenance, lowering your ongoing costs. In drought-prone areas, these savings can make xeriscaping a more affordable and sustainable option over time.

Xeriscaping has potential disadvantages that include high initial labor and a departure from traditional lush landscapes. It demands extensive planning and careful installation, which increases upfront effort. Additionally, the less conventional appearance may not suit every homeowner’s taste and could impact curb appeal in areas where traditional greenery is valued, though its water-saving benefits remain advantageous.

Yes, xeriscaping can increase your home's value, especially in drought-prone areas. A water-efficient, low-maintenance landscape is attractive to buyers looking to save on water bills and reduce upkeep. While the exact increase in value varies, xeriscaping often enhances curb appeal and marketability to potential homebuyers when you’re selling your home.
