Get matched with top sod installers in Rock-Point, MD

"The contractor and crew did a fabulous job of installing a permeable paved driveway and retaining wall. They were respectful of me, my time and property. They kept me updated and explained each phase of the project. I’m very very pleased with the company and the completed project. I highly recommend this company and would definitely use them again."

"Daniel and his partner installed new appliances and tile in my kitchen, I had new counter tops installed as well in my kitchen and master bathroom. I also used John Krause for a repair to my shed from water damage again Daniel and his partner did an excellent job for me. Very please with Daniel and his work. I believe Daniel is a sub-contractor for John Krause, but none the less in my opinion he did really good work and communicated with every step of the way."

"Excellent service and install all around! Vernon Jones was so responsive and professional, and they took great care navigating some challenges with a shared fence. His team was incredible! Complete dismantling of an old fence and install of a new one in one day! The product/fence is beautiful and the price much lower than area companies. Thank you, Vernon and team!"

"Went great. We had a nonstandard door and needed the storm replaced. He diagnosed, measured, bought, and installed a new door in a couple hours. Very nice."

"We are very happy with the services performed. Brian and his crew of 4-5 guys were amazing and professional. Brian knows every plant and shrub, made great suggestions, and had an excellent design sensibility. His crew was very professional and understood exactly what to do. They removed and took away two truck-loads (a big truck) of yard waste, took out two dozen large rocks that had formed borders; unearthed and removed an old concrete walkway; divided/moved/replanted a number of good plants; trimmed a couple of small trees; pulled a ton of ivy that had covered a large area of ground and much of our 75 foot long back fence; replaced previously planted and weedy overgrown beds with sod; and pruned and hand-trimmed a lot of azaleas, hollies, and other shrubs; beautiful mulching; more. This wasn't the lowest bid, but Brian seemed to immediately understand what we needed, so we went with him. Very glad we did. You may be able to find a crew to do what Yard by Yard did for less money, but you get what you pay for. For us, it was worth every penny. We were late getting started, and understood that they were backed up. I knew that we should have gotten on their books earlier in the season, so we had no problem with the lag between contracting and the work done. They are a small firm with lots of work, but again, it was all worth the wait. The crew was unbelievably hard-working and cleaned up perfectly every day they worked. Real pros."

"The company did an Awesome Job!"

"Kurt (Distinct Landscapes) performed an exception makeover to our property. We have owned our home for 20 years, with an eye on a landscape design to the house front - that pops. What we inherited were azaleas and christmas trees that continued to grow more expansive over the years. I provided Kurt with my budget and blessing to take the necessary design/purchase/installation steps necessary to dazzle. He did not disappoint! Kurt was a joy to work with, paying several visits to our property to discuss proposed layout and educate newcomers concerning the finer points of horticulture - in laymen's terms. He was extremely responsive to preferences and concerns and made several modifications of his own - before installation date. What a makeover - Korean Boxwoods, Dward Red Barberries, Goldmound Spireas, Nandina Domestica, Chery Laurels Knockout Roses, A Purple Crape Myrtle and Dragon Lady Holly species ... to name a few. Kurt did not overcrowd the design, but allowed sufficient spacing for future growth ... definitely planning for the longer range investment. With his selection, he also ensured more diverse colors over a greater portion of the calendar year. We're now the proud owners of a unique landscape that complements the house color/style much better. We absolutely recommend Kurt (without any reservations) to anyone seeking to upgrade their curb appeal with a landscape that truly impresses!"

"Did a good job but some roots were not grinded deep enough. Rain was in the forecast the first day of hire and it would have been courtesy to inform me they weren't coming. Once they started the next day, they finished in a timely fashion."

In the fall of 2014 we set out to hire a general contractor to perform a complete gut and remodel of our cooperative apartment kitchen.  The space was original to this 1966 structure and was in dire need of some TLC.  We had been planning for well over a year before we even started looking for a contractor, so we had a very good idea on the design and didn't need any help in that arena.

We opted to go with Green Studio Builders (GSB) for a couple of reasons.  The first is that we saw their work first hand in another apartment within our building and we were very impressed with the craftsmanship especially considering the complexities of that project.  Our project was similarly complex and it was reassuring to know that they had experience to tackle more than the run of the mill project. It's also nice to work with a contractor that already knows the building, the management staff, the rules and regulations, etc. The second reason was the result of our interaction with the owner of the company during his onsite visit to our apartment during the assessment phase.  One could describe Chris as passionate.  During the walkthrough he was a terrific listener and clearly was able to grasp the intensity of the project.

The project consisted of gutting a 20' x 12' kitchen right down to the studs and concrete sub floor, removing walls between the kitchen and living room, walls between the kitchen and dining room as well as a wall between the living room and dining room.  We were going for an open concept and amidst that there was re-routing of trunk phone lines for apartments above and below us as well as a thermostat relocation.

Work began in February and completed 4 months later in June.  We were assigned an operations manager and supervisor to the project.  Between them they were to coordinate all of the onsite activities.   Despite the assigned leadership, I assure you that I was keeping a strict eye on the project at all times.  We were not about to part with this kind of money with no personal oversite regardless of GSB?s reputation.  While the project was a huge success, I assure you that there were several conversations throughout the project to have minor elements corrected or to re-educate the crew members on the expectations of the project elements.  This type of open communication was vital and GSB?s entire crew was excellent at following through on my every concern without ever making us feel like we were overbearing.

The demolition was completed in two phases; the first was an early prep to remove the old cabinetry and appliances to prepare the space for the asbestos abatement company (with whom we were expected to contract independently with).  Once the asbestos abatement was complete, GSB returned immediately to resume with phase two of the demolition where they removed the walls.  During this process our apartment was thoroughly draped to try and contain the dust and protection was laid on our hard wood floors to protect them from damage.  The debris was removed from the apartment in a timely manner.  With demolition complete, the new walls were framed and GSB coordinated for the electrical and plumbing sub-contractors to complete the necessary work.  The walls were then drywalled, mudded, sanded and primed.  GSB then installed the floor tile absolutely perfectly.  They followed through on my pattern flawlessly and the installer took great care to insure a proper installation.  We opted for long and narrow tiles and if the thinset underneath is not perfect it can cause future cracking , the installer took his time to ensure our complete satisfaction.  GSB did a great job of coordinating the timeliness of the subcontractor for cabinet delivery and installation.

One of our longest delays followed cabinet installation.  We opted to go through GSB and their subcontractor for countertop installation and had already selected out stone, but there were several breakdowns in communication which resulted in a couple week delay.  While this was a sore subject for a few days, I assure you that GSB took complete ownership of the issue and made the situation right in a way that was agreeable to both us and them.  We never expected the project to be easy, but when snags do occur you need an organization that will own up to their promises and GSB did exactly that.

Backsplash tile installation followed the countertop install.  Good news is that GSB sent the same crew back and like the floor work, the tile was installed exactly to specifications.  Once this was complete, GSB coordinated the final electrical and plumbing work as well as painting.  The operations manager came onsite for a physical assessment and the creation of a punch list of final to do?s and those tasks were completed expeditiously.

We have enjoyed out new kitchen now for just shy of two months and every day we are appreciative of the fine work that was done to bring us to this point.  We recommend GSB and their crew.
