I called several other companies that never returned my call. Donta was responsive and extremely professional answering all of my questions. Naj did a wonderful job at creating a design based on my list of "must haves" and my husband and I were impressed with the results. They were meticulous with the details and followed up for our feedback. This is our second project with them. The first job was clearing out our backyard and completing a full paver installation. I would definitely work with them again.

I'm not sure the attached pictures do justice to the amazing work that Donta and his Ridley's…read moreLandscaping crew did. We had a sewer line problem and had to have our yard dug up. The plumbing company left a mess, damaging our tree, crushing bushes, and leaving big pile of dirt in the yard. We called Ridley's. They came out promptly for an estimate, and once we said yes, they came out promptly and did an amazing job. They did so well that our neighbor was watching them work and hired them on the spot to do some grading in his yard. For the grass, they offered us the option of doing sod or seed. We went with the seed, so the (after) picture just shows the straw, but we anticipate having a beautiful lawn next summer. They were highly professional, worked hard, and simply got the job done as it should be done. We talked to another company that seemed cheaper, but they didn't give me the confidence that Donta gave me, and now that the job is done, I can say that confidence was well placed.

I called in earlier today because I wanted to install a pool cover for my pool and I wanted to…read morespeak with someone who actually has knowledge of the pool covers and not a representative and the person who answered was very vulgar, cussed at me, told me f__ you etc. Very very disgusting for a "professional company". Never in my life have I had someone who represents a company curse at a soon to be paying customer. Beware! I am a female as well which makes it even more gross that their male representative could be so ugly. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. Edit to response: I called with questions I had pertaining to installing a cover on my pool. Every customer has questions. I need to make sure you all fit my needs if I'm going to drop $15,000-20,000 on a pool cover. I have every right to ask questions. You started right off the bat as crude and rude "what do you want' very unprofessional and disrespectful. I stand by what I say and I told you I'm studying different pool companies to see which on fits ME best. No doing a survey. Maybe if you actually let me talk you could have seen that for yourself! I didn't need to speak to someone who is just trying to make a quick buck and selling me the most expensive brand. I wanted to talk to someone who actually installs them which I kept tell you multiple times and you just kept saying "what do you want get to the point". Very rude and unprofessional. I'm done speaking with you. Have a nice day.

I don't think I've ever seen a landscaping crew (or a contractor of any kind for that matter) do as…read morethorough and diligent job as these guys did. We hired them to put in a fieldstone wall and build up our front landscaping, after the Snowmageddon blizzard destroyed all our existing plants. We also had them installing 6 yards of mulch in our backyard, which is about 1/2 reclaimed scrub forest and thus full of roots, broadleaf weeds, and other weird plants that just won't go away. First, the front - these guys put in a solid day just prepping the site of the wall - leveling the ground, digging below grade and putting in sand, rerouting our gutter downspouts, and so on. Then another (hot!) day building the wall and adding the fill (good topsoil, too) and yet another day doing the mulch and planting the new (and hopefully more snow resistant) plants. They also salvaged the surviving plants and replanted them in good locales in the back yard - a nice touch. Speaking of the mulch; they went through the entire area and, using a hoe, took out all the weeds and other undesirable plants. They also evened up the edges of the yard where the grass and mulch meet. They left the site clean and tidy, to boot. Five star service all the way!

If you're looking for a landscaper, this is it, you can stop looking: you've found the most…read morereliable and honest one that exists in Anne Arundel county. Our search for a landscaper began as a search for someone to repair a leaking foundation. After three foundation companies said our water intrusion issues were grading related we started our search for a landscaper in Severna Park. I called 6 companies, 3 showed up for the scheduled appointments to price the work and out of those 1 provided us with a proposal. We'd asked for an itemized proposal with a few 'wish list' items and got back a lump sum estimate for the grading portion of the project alone. I called one more company at the recommendation of a neighbor-- Bear Landscaping. It took about a week to get on Russell's busy spring calendar, but he showed up on time, listened to ALL of our concerns (including my constant wants versus needs budgeting assessment) and gave us his recommendations. In addition to the grading he addressed how to make our project last -- namely our super shaded yard with lots of tall (and many dead) trees wouldn't allow for grass to maintain the grading project meaning we'd be in a cycle of re-doing the work. Russell suggested removing the trees (I could only hear cash register sounds in my head as he continued), laying sod and finishing with river rock on the side of our house. Within days I had a quote in my email that had to be wrong: it was nearly half of the quote that I'd expected to receive and considerably more competitive than the one from a big name company (who only priced the grading work which I'd have had to pay for multiple times over because the solution wasn't a long term one). I was floored. We booked all of the services immediately and Russell's team came out for the tree removal about two weeks later and just came back after another week to finish the grading, sod and river rock treatment. Russell's team even hit a snag with their drainage approach when our deck turned out to have another deck built underneath it, but they quickly pivoted to a new solution without hesitation. Also worth noting: both landscaping crews that came to our house were friendly and professional to us and our neighbors. My husband and I could not be happier-- the transformation of our property is unbelievable. We have had neighbors seek us out to compliment the work. We are so grateful for Russell's easygoing, no pressure and honest approach, and that he took the time to truly listen to our concerns and fully explain solutions. We will absolutely be reaching back out to Bear Landscaping and singing their praises to all who will listen.

They make the process start to finish easy, bring ideas to the table, make recommendations and execute with professionalism and expertise. The team went above and beyond to take care of our property while bringing equipment onsite and removing large pieces of trees. Our trees are healthy and thriving due to their knowledge about the proper trimming methods for each type of tree. We're able to enjoy our backyard more than ever thanks to the cleared play area, the beautiful stone stairs, and properly drained yard Russell designed for our family. Highly recommend Bear Landscaping for any of your tree or hardscaping needs!
