For weekly service, they would show up about once a month. I had a doorbell camera (like most people) and called them out on this... to no avail. ..... See business response below: - Thank you for clarifying that if it rains, you won't show up but will continue to charge for missed visits. It rains a lot in Maryland. - Thank you for clarifying that my painters show up on the doorbell camera, but your crew does not. Painting happened months after I fired your company. This excuse is not logical or valid, just like your charges. - Thank you for clarifying that I lived within 10 seconds of your business so it would not have been a hassle to come back on a non-rainy day. - Thank you for demonstrating that you took more time to respond to this public review than the many emails I sent you. I did not want to drudge up more drama or for this business to threaten to disclose my private information and address. There's a reason I waited until I moved across the country to post this reviewed. I was scared! Giving this business your credit card is a carte blanche for them to rack up charges. You are not charged for each visit, but for months at a time. The explanation is that weekly visits are not guaranteed, but your contract guarantees them weekly payment. I was charged extra to weed wack part of my yard that had a gradual 6-in elevation difference and therefore was not mowed or edged for months. No permission was sought of course for this extra charge.

BAM's was incredibly efficient from start to finish. Our flower beds were overgrown with all the…read moreworst sorts of weeds and random plants, and filled with leaves from years past. My wife and I had always planned to get to it ourselves, but work and family always came first. So, we finally sought help, and BAM's was great. Another landscaper wanted 500 - 1000 dollars just to consult and draw a pretty picture of what our yard *could* look like. Then I reached out to BAM's. Initially I reached out just about the front and side yards and sent them pictures. They offered me quote based on what I wanted done (spring cleanup and mulch installation), and I accepted. They quickly got me scheduled and when the day came, they did just an amazingly efficient job (much, much faster than I ever thought possible) and a very thorough one (it wasn't just fast, it was well done). The three guys who did the work were just incredibly friendly and professional, and did the beds in the backyard too, much to my very happy surprise (the quote wasn't in fact limited to the front and sides, but I was so overwhelmed with what I thought were the worst parts of the yard, I neglected that fact). My wife can now walk outside without feeling overwhelmed about all there is to do. I would work again with BAM's in a heartbeat.

I worked with Brandon to plan and construct Landscaping and grading to reduce water runoff. I was…read morelooking for Landscaping that would be done with native plants and in a way compliant with local rainscapes programs. They were great. The price was fair, the work was quality, I had plenty of personal contact with Brandon. Best of all, upon completion of the high quality work, Brandon sent me a bill for significantly less than quoted and accounted for every man hour and yard of materials - even clearly showing the time the crew took for lunch! I love this and value this kind of transparency so highly. I will work with them again. They exemplify the best parts of a family business. ​

We were having an event and needed the job done within the next 2 days. Juan came out on Labor Day, the day after I requested estimates on Yelp. I said we needed the job done that Wednesday. He provided a quote and asked me to procure the plants. Told me where to go and off I went. We communicated via text, which I suspect there was assistance with communication. Doesn't matter to me as long as we are on the same page. Really nice team and extremely helpful! They did a pretty hefty job in one day with a team of 5, extremely well, and in the rain. They text when they were going to be 20 minutes late arriving and did everything to plan and on time. Highly recommend and extremely happy we worked with them. Posting before and after pics for them as well here.

I called up Cedar Grove and Bob came out and looked at the property and gave a quote. My very meticulous and budget conscious partner also got three other quotes from local landscapers and Bobs was very fair.

His crew is a great group of guys and gals who tirelessly and carefully completed the job with big smiles and we're very helpful. Bob and crew went above and beyond. I have called and tried to get over 15 landscapers out here to help and so let me save you the time, go with these guys! They are the best price, best team, and all around did a magnificent job.

High quality work and team - we would overall recommend Stone Garden based on our experience. Work…read moreincluded two wooden retaining walls and two rock-lined swales connected to an underground drainage pipe to manage rainwater run off on a steep hillside, as well as replacement of our main concrete-reinforced cinder block retaining wall. We initially contracted with Stone Garden for the rain management work in late spring. The work was fast - estimated at 1-2 weeks but done in 3 days! At one point they had 7 people on site. The working crew was very thoughtful - they helped us move daffodil bulbs disturbed by the construction, carefully cleaned up after the work, and even helped my husband move some bags of yard waste unrelated to their work. A torrential storm followed this first project, leading to the failure of our (pre-existing) main retaining wall. We turned to Stone Garden to replace it, upgrading with some additional drainage features and a brick facade. It was difficult to get the follow on work scheduled due to communication delays and a busy calendar of other projects. After two months the follow on work started. While the retaining wall was built fairly quickly it took another month for the masons to come finish the brick facade. I had other outdoor work scheduled and luckily we were able to deconflict it. Overall, the work is high quality, reasonably priced, and is holding up well. Sam and his team are skilled and professional. Just get scheduled early, the Stone Garden team is in high demand!

I hired Stone Garden to perform several tasks based on the recommendation of someone I know. I…read moresincerely regret hiring them and do not recommend them. Each task they were hired to perform had issues. For example, I asked them to trim back bushes. They trimmed them back so much that my neighbor called me, concerned that now we had zero foliage providing privacy between our yards. Despite my instructions, Stone Garden trimmed back essentially to the stump and I was left with twigs in the ground and had to wait for months before they started regrowing. I also asked them to build stairs off of my deck and to replace a gate door. The stairs they constructed were not level and the gate door was not flush so it did not latch properly. I had to contact them to repair these issues but the stairs are still not much better. The last straw was that I hired them to acquire a permit for additional work. The permit drawings they prepared were not at all what we discussed. Rather, they showed extensive changes that I did not request. Upon expressing my concern about the inaccuracies with the drawings, I was told they were trying to show me "what was possible." I didn't ask for that so it wasted weeks of my time as I waited for new drawings. The new drawings were also problematic and proposed removing and relocating a full-grown tree -- again, not something I requested so we had to again discuss revising the drawings. The third version of the drawings were still not what I envisioned but I was told as long as it was close enough, we could submit the permit application. They submitted the permit application in September. As expected, the city had questions and comments. Stone Garden did not reply to these comments. They also did not reply to my emails or phone calls. Months passed. Finally, I heard from the owner in February. I was given a lot of excuses and apologies -- but no actual progress on my permit application or description of next steps or milestones. More time elapsed with no action or updates from Stone Garden. I finally reached out to the city myself and learned that my permit application had been terminated due to lack of activity. Stone Garden never informed me of this status. The city also provided me the comments that has been sent to Stone Garden which made it very apparent that Stone Garden is not equipped to manuever the permitting process. I've since spoken to several other contractors and they noted it was very apparent that Stone Garden does not understand the city permitting requirements based on the application they submitted and the questions they received from the city. I have since contacted the owner and requested a partial refund, along with all correspondence with the city and documentation submitted for my permit application since this is my intellectual property. I received no response at all and no partial refund. If you want quality work and good communication, look elsewhere. I do NOT recommend.

Beware of Unreliable Service!!!…read more I've never dealt with someone as unprofessional as Dario. He's a nice guy & his prices're reasonable, but completely unreliable. I had a few projects that he promised to finish in 2-3 days. After paying for the materials, he kept cancelling appointments. Now, TWO MONTHS LATER & after over a dozen cancelled appointments, the projects are still incomplete. Everything's started but nothing's finished. I've got dug-up holes that have been sitting for weeks, to the point where my neighbors and HOA are complaining. He trimmed my trees but left dead branches outside for 2 weeks & all the leaves blew into my neighbors' properties. I had to clean it all up myself after their complaints. The worst part? He repeatedly said he'd come by, and after waiting all day, he wouldn't show or even have the courtesy to call me ahead of time. I've wasted weeks and countless weekends waiting for him. I even went on a 2-week vacation, came back, and discovered he hadn't done any work at all. I'm beyond frustrated with constantly calling and begging him to do the job I already paid for.
