I highly recommend Alex Salvador of Alex's Yard & Home Improvements who does all of my contracted outdoor and most of my indoor requirements. He is more than a handyman; he is a trusted ally. He does landscaping and hard-scaping. This is the third year for his total responsibility for all my lawn and garden needs, from sodding, to mulching, tree and hedge trimming, and gardening, etc., as well as snow removal. He is reliable (is never late and always turns up when he says he will), diligent, hardworking and most importantly reasonable in cost. He consistently is more cost effective than many others I have considered and have actually used. He finishes what he starts and cleans up after himself, leaving an area in much greater order than he found it. He has reliable help when a job requires more than one person. He supervises all of the work and does not subcontract. He speaks English and has his green card. He gives free estimates and I have found him to be creative in providing solutions and suggestions on whatever projects I have for him whether electrical, plumbing, mechanical, carpentry, painting, etc. He is simply the best. When you ask him to do something for you, you can "consider it done." I have been a home owner in the Woodmont Neighborhood of North Arlington since 1972. read more

Alex and his team are fantastic but where he really excels is his clear and responsive communications. Within a few minutes of me reaching out via Yelp he called me. He was at my house 2 hours later and I had an estimate that afternoon for both inside and outside work. Inside work was (removing a broken railing, patching the wall and replace the brackets) and outside work (cut down a small tree, fence repair, spring yard clean up front and back) His team did an excellent job and they are FAST! Very hard working. Our house looks great! In short, Alex is responsive, communicates well, has reasonable prices and shows up when he says he is going to. I have just requested him to come back and perform more work. We wish we had found Alex sooner! read more

I hired Alex to clean up my backyard, build a rock walkway on my side yard from my driveway to my backyard, build flower beds on either side of the walkway and add mortar to a flagstone patio I had built years ago that had weeds growing between the stones. My yard was frankly a mess and he really created order and something nice out of a mess! He did a great job, was very fast and responsive and it was reasonably priced. After he completed the job I had him weed and mulch my front yard which was also done fast and well. I'd definitely hire Alex again for any yard work I need done. I appreciate the personal attention and helping out a local small business that does good work. read more

Could not be more pleased with the landscaping work Alex completed. I needed to re-do a couple of tired beds in my front yard, and the finished product looks great. Alex helped me choose plants that would grow better in each of the areas, even sending me pictures from the nursury before making the final purchase. His quote was very fairly priced, and his communications timely. My next-door neighbor also complimented the job (this matters in town-home life!) and took his information for future work she may need. I would definitely recommend Alex's Yard & Home Improvement! read more

Alex and his team hand-weeded and mulched my yard today and it looks GREAT. They were very professional, friendly, efficient and reasonably priced. Alex prepared the estimate in a very timely manner and then was flexible to schedule our mulching on my husband's birthday (only a week after the estimate) so he could come home to a mulched yard. Alex's communications were excellent regarding when he was coming and he followed through, arriving punctually. His crew was neat and orderly, they were prepared and they worked hard. I highly recommend Alex's Yard & Home Improvements. read more

LOVE Alex and his team! He's super quick to turn around an estimate, and is great at communicating exactly when they're going to arrive, what they're going to do, and when they'll be done. They've done a little of everything for me, from electrical, to tile, to carpentry and yard work. They are really respectful of your property, putting up protection before work begins and thoroughly cleaning up (and hauling away trash!!) when they're done. I've found the prices to be competitive, but the service is what rocks. Best of all, I just really trust them to do a great job! read more

For anyone looking for high quality lawn service this season, I highly recommend Alex's Lawn Service (703.409.0790).

And they don't just do lawns - they have power-washed our driveway and can clean gutters and do other outdoor maintenance. They are also very competitively priced. read more

Alex's landscaping came in when we had a huge project of removing a lot of trees, doing some landscaping, mulching around the property, and leveling off some of the land. It was a large 3-day project, and they did a great job in terms of doing all the work. They were very professional. They cleaned up after the work and came back to inspect everything when it was finished. read more

I was looking for someone to remove our old shutters and install new ones. Alex was very highly recommended by a neighbor and we were not disappointed. He gave a reasonable estimate and completed the work in less time than expected. His work was meticulous and he cleaned up afterward. Above all, he was extremely nice! We will definitely call him again for other jobs. read more

Alex and his crew are my go-to people for everything home related. He's installed doors, replaced tile, fixed our ceiling after a leak, painted our deck, installed outdoor drainage, and he's a magician with drywall. Always pleasant to work with. He also does all of our lawn care. Highly recommended! read more

We hired Mr. Salvador and his team for a one time visit after purchasing a vacant new home. His communication was outstanding and the team came on such short notice even with the inclement weather.
