Get matched with top outdoor lighting plan and installers in Valley Lee, MD

"After receiving 3 quotes for replacing my deteriorating retaining wall, I chose J&R Chavez Landscaping. Positive reviews, the owner’s assessment, and a reasonable estimate convinced me. I accepted their bid on December 29, 2025. J&R submitted the permit request two days later. Unfortunately, the permit was approved on February 13, 2026, outside contractor control. Work began on February 16, with a good crew working when weather permitted. Delays due to quite bad winter were unavoidable. They discovered the old wall lacked a proper footing so the estimate was adjusted to install a new footing. Jose was transparent about necessary adjustments. The installation took until April 4, 2026, due to weather delays and town inspections. I’m very pleased with the strong, well-drained wall. I enjoyed dealing with J&R Chavez Landscaping with two small issues, communication about delays could be improved and Jose never got back to me about some agreed post job landscaping. Still, great job."

"I met with Fernando from Pavor Boss, LLC on Friday, September 12, 2025 and he completed my landscaping Monday, September 15, 2025. He did an outstanding job. He is very personable, professional, and knows what he is doing. I have his business cards and will pass them on to my friends."

"Instead of just lighting the driveway he designed the lighting plan, picking particular trees to light to illuminate an aesthetic path up to the house.  The result is wonderful!  The lights on the walkway to the and deck are carefully positioned and the entire effect is wonderful.  I plan to have him back to do lights in the backyard as well.

"My experience with Earth Friendly Service was a positive one. My husband and I recently purchased a house that needed some TLC. I reached out to EFS and then responded immediately. Within a few days Steve and Phil were out at my house to see what repairs were needed and to give an estimate. They were pleasant and knowledgeable. I received a couple other quotes but EFS was most reasonable as far as a balance of price and timeline for completion. We set a date to start and when they began the work, it was completed within a week. Steph was great. Detail oriented. Asked questions of my desires when there was uncertainty. Wayne, let his work speak for itself. Phil went above and beyond doing other minor repairs that he noticed as he went along and giving tips to us as new home owners. Steve dropped by to make sure things were running smoothly and on schedule. Overall, we are extremely satisfied with the work that was performed by EFS and plan to have them back soon for some more projects."

"They worked very hard to level and square the retaining walls and patios. We were very impressed by the lack of cutting corners. Our original patio and retaining walls were never properly installed and they appear to have corrected this problem. For years, we also had a drainage problem on the two sides of the house. They installed a French drain on one side and a basin drain on the other. Time will tell if this completely solves the problem, but the drains were working over the last two days of rain. We were so impressed by the quality of their work that we are having them come back to do a few more landscaping items.

"It took about a week to make the appointment. When I was finally contacted, Pariseau immediately told me that it would be one hour if two people came on the service or two hours (as mentioned in the ad) ONLY if one person came. I thought this was a little odd but since I was only getting a chandelier installed I figured that would be more than enough time for a professional. It took the installer three hours to install one chandelier. He left repeatedly to go to his truck (at least three times for sure--one time lasting at least 10 minutes). I was considering getting several other fixtures installed depending on how things went (I had the fixtures and had even moved furniture out of the way); however, considering how long it took to put the one in I changed my mind. Afterwards, I noted that the chandelier moved from the base. Being concerned, I contacted Pariseau. It took a while (several weeks) before the initial installer made it back out to check. I was told that since it's a pendant chandelier this happens but he ensured me that he installed it to be secure. (Things were resolved almost exactly one month later.)  In addition to being charged additional money for the 'extra' hour, I was also charged $50 in supplies (I supplied the outlet so guess this was for the cables?). Driving time was also factored in the timeline. I still have other electrical projects that need to be done. But in a nutshell, I would not use or recommend this company.

"I contacted Emerald Landscaping via Email to get an estimate on weeding the many landscaped beds on my property.
I am very allergic to ragweed so I needed this work done quickly.
Emerald Landscaping quickly gave me an estimate and sent out a crew when I agreed to the price. The crew did an excellent job and I am very pleased with the results.
 
All of my beds look great, the weeds are gone and the walks and beds were edged and look neat and clean.
 
All of the lawn waste was hauled away and my walks were swept up and tidied. I would highly recommend Emerald Landscaping.
