A full-service landscaping contractor, Blue Ridge Landscaping is your preferred choice for all your commercial or residential landscaping needs. Serving the greater Fredericksburg region since 2001, we proudly combine an exemplary work ethic with a total commitment to our clients.
"I sure was hoping to post a better review here for Blue Ridge Landscaping, however that is not the case based on the events that have unfolded. My handicapped mother and I split the cost of privacy trees for our new house. Over $6500 in total and all we have asked Steve to come back and fix the ones that have blown over. We paid an extra amount for him to come out and put stakes in the ground after they were initially installed, but they didn't seem to hold up. When he left that day he said "If you or your mom need anything, please call me". He seemed sincere, so Ididn't worry. Well we since have called and texted many times as the trees are sideways as you can see from the pictures. The only response I got was "Ok" one time and never heard from him or BRLS again. We got this referral from a local person and thought based on the google reviews, we should be good to go."

"This is the third major project that Phoenix has completed at our home, and the results were equally as impressive as the others. The attention to detail and craftsmanship Phoenix brings to any project they take on is second to none, and it was needed to complete our patio and stairs. The deck portion of the project was complex and required the demolition of part of the existing concrete pad as well as en expansion of the previous footprint. The stairs required similar attention to detail to match the existing second story deck while preserving landscaping and mature azaleas that could not be replaced. Phoenix handled this task flawlessly while going above and beyond the original scope to make modifications that fit our needs and bring our vision to life. I would trust Phoenix to complete any project at our home, and we will certainly be calling them for our next project."

"Spent ~$50,000 on a new roof with them. Thought everything went well. Years later discovered that they had not sealed the cricket on the chimney well enough. Discovered water coming in and eventually rotting the wallboard, studs, etc. Had to replace entire wall. Called them about the issue, they sent a rep. He said it was the chimney's fault, it was leaking. Not so, opened the wall and ceiling and had another roofer come spray water on the chimney, nothing, no leak. Then sprayed water on the cricket, water came in. Exterior Medics would not admit any fault. Had it repaired, no leak, no problem since then. Had recommended to a friend, never gain, he also had a bad experience. DO NOT USE IF YOU WANT QUALITY WORK AND A COMPANY HAT STANDS BEHIND THEIR WORK."

Brick construction offers numerous benefits, including exceptional longevity, natural resistance to fire, and substantial durability against weather extremes. The thermal mass of brick helps regulate indoor temperatures, potentially reducing energy consumption. Brick homes often maintain their aesthetic appeal with minimal maintenance, and many buyers perceive them as premium properties, potentially supporting stronger resale values compared to homes built with other materials.
Brick veneer consists of a single layer of brick attached to a standard wood-framed wall, providing the aesthetic of brick without serving as the structural support. This approach costs between $3 and $20 per square foot, depending on the specific type. Structural brick construction uses brick as the actual load-bearing wall material, requiring more extensive materials and specialized construction techniques. Most contemporary "brick houses" utilize the veneer approach rather than true structural brick.
Adding brick siding to an existing home costs $72,000 for a 2,000-square-foot residence. Real brick siding ranges from $10 to $20 per square foot, while more budget-friendly alternatives include thin brick veneer ($3 to $10 per square foot) and faux brick panels ($6 to $13 per square foot). This renovation requires professional installation to ensure proper moisture barriers and structural attachment.
