Service: snow removal after snow and ice, early 2026. Pros: prompt and courteous. Cons: Price! They asked for $1200 to clear less 40 feet of sidewalks, stoop, plus a two car-long driveway. We settled on them clearing a single 80-90 foot path from street, up three steps to door for $350. They didn't clear the sidewalk, just scraped a path through the lawn, removing some of the grass. We were desperate and feel overcharged. NOTE: Photos taken after someone else cleared most the driveway--for 88% less! read more

I requested an online quote and received a prompt response. I went with another landscaping company, because their quote was ~50% less. They seem to be doing a good job as my yard is fairly simple. read more

Before I get into details, I just want to say that if you shop around I think eventually you will find a landscaper with a lower price. Don't do it though! Saving money in the short run for a crappy job, you'll end up paying a lot more in the long run when you have someone else fix all of the mistakes. I've made that error before and paid dearly. It's the equivalent of buying cheap pants you have to replace every year, vs paying a bit more for quality pants that last a decade. Ok, sermon over. Did more awesome work! Lots of mulching and weeding. These are both jobs that are easy to do half-assed. Pull a few weeds and throw some mulch over them. Less thorough landscapers also use just a thin layer of mulch instead of a thicker layer like you are supposed to. Melvin Reyes and his crew did as good of a job as could be done. I was home and looked out every once in a while to see them painstakingly weeding and using a good thick layer of mulch throughout. Front and backyard are transformed, A plus! read more

We hired MDR after moving into our house about 16 months ago. We had too many other projects to do last year to hire a landscaper thwn. I have no idea when someone last did real landscaping here, but it needed more than what I was doing. We needed a clean up, a large amount of mulch, a stone path rebuilt, a little trimming (I do most trimming myself), and a hole filled and reseeded. Melvin gave me a quote quickly, and a couple of weeks after receiving a few other quotes, I was ready to hire. He got here when I needed him. His crew worked hard and easily got the job done in one day. My yard looks great. I plan on hiring MDR for fall clean up and making my yard a little better each year. I know they will do a great job. read more

MDR is a great company great workers great work they make sure that the customers always happy I would recommend them always for your landscaping and yardwork needs read more

MDR Landscaping worked with us for over 15 years. Melvin and his great team were always reliable, skilled and proactive. Our back yard is more than half acre with many trees and is a huge yard to mow and maintain. They did great work year after year. He would advise me when a tree was getting too old to stay standing, and it was impressive to observe them bravely chopping trees down, starting at the top. An impossible task, safely and skillfully done. I greatly appreciate their work, and recommend them highly. read more

OMG LOOK NO FURTHER Melvin and his crew were incredible. I am new to Washington DC and didn't have anyone to ask for a referral. I got 5 tree quotes and not only was MDR the most affordable but they had the best timing! My backyard is sandwiched in between 5 other yards and I had a huge tree on the gutter and 7 others in the yard. They were on time, careful, kind and meticulous. They even helped me repair a spot in my fence that was broken before they came. I had a huge tree with a fence running through the middle, a few places said they would have to leave a 6 foot stump and Melvin removed the entire thing! They also cleaned the neighbors yard, street and roof due to the dust. Very impressed! 5 star service for 5 star guys. Couldn't recommend anyone better! read more

Melvin was able to come quickly and navigate around a few complications in our yard (which is raised from the sidewalk, so posed a challenge for getting the stump grinder into the yard), took care of our stumps efficiently and left our yard neat and free of refuse. Definitely recommend! read more

Nothing but the best quality lawn care! Honest and trustworthy team. I love MDR Landscaping!

Judging from others' 5 stars wanted to try them, sent a quote request. Did not get response. Followed up with an international phone call, still no response. Not even a "no quote" reply. read more

Melvin and his crew came out to our house today to clean off an old Hillside in preparation for our fence installation. They took down numerous dead trees, cleared out all the brush, and hand pulled about 40 ancient dead wild rose bushes. They were fast and professional - my husband and I are seriously impressed. We're looking forward to using their services again in the near future to build a retaining wall and maybe weatherproof our basement. read more

I am writing this review before they are even done with the job. They have already gone above and beyond. Melvin and his men are consummate professionals who will do whatever it takes to leave you with a great finished product. Just ask my giant wasp nest, a totally unexpected obstacle that made their job much harder and more dangerous. They took care of the wasps, their giant nest, and completed the job without any hesitation. These guys obviously earned all these other 5 star reviews, and I can see why. I will be using their services for my yard needs exclusively from now on. Okay, they just finished and left. Definitely 5 stars. Hire these guys. read more

Melvin and his crew did a fantastic job taking down a large tree in the middle of our backyard, taking out a number of shrubs and three other dead trees, trimming a dead limb off another large tree, and cleaning up (and mulching) our weeded-over flower beds. They got a ton done in about a day and a half and worked diligently the entire time. After taking down the large tree and grinding down the big stump, they spread additional soil and grass seed so that we could expand the yard for our kids to play. Our neighbors have commented on what a difference it has made! We got several quotes and they were very competitive. Melvin was a pleasure to deal with throughout, always checking to make sure that everything was exactly as we wanted it. We'll definitely be using them again in the future. read more

My neighbor hired Melvin and his team to take down a large maple tree in their front yard. I watched the team arrive, setup their equipment, and get to work. They were super professional and took care to minimize their impact on the lawn. The entire tree was down, chipped, and removed in one day and they did an amazing job cleaning up the lawn with blowers and rakes. They didn't even leave a single chip. Both my neighbor (another neighbor) and I were so impressed that we came out and hired them to do some additional tree work on our properties. The guys came back today and took some old limbs out of our super tall maple trees and they look great. Same thing, perfect cleanup job! I kinda feel like it hit the lottery with these guys and I will hire them for my lawn work this summer. Melvin is super easy to work with, totally reasonable prices, and really has a positive vibe. read more

Melvin and his team are fabulous. They did an excellent job on two of our trees - one needed some minor trimming and the other was a much more substantial job. They listened closely to our wishes, cleaned up incredibly well when they were done, & went above and beyond to make certain we were happy with the finished job. I felt their pricing was reasonable for the amount of work done, and that Melvin was willing to modify the project appropriately based on our budget and needs. I will definitely use them again (although I'm guessing I won't need to for a while, based on the stellar job they did today!). read more

Melvin was such a pleasure to work with. He came out immediately after we contacted him and changed his schedule around to be able to do a yard clean-up for us the following day. He arrived promptly and worked hard and efficiently. Our yard looks brand new. He had the equipment to take out several large stumps and totally cleared out ivy (and some poison ivy) from our yard. He also took down an old fence and removed debris left over from the previous owner. He even went above and beyond by doing work that we hadn't included in our proposal and took away some yard debris that we had generated ourselves the weekend before. Through it all, he was friendly and flexible. We highly recommend Melvin and will be going back to him for future work. read more

I contacted Melvin to come out to look at a tree and he provided me with an estimate and we went ahead and did the work.

Melvin and his team did a fantastic job transforming our lawn. We had a tangled mess of ivy and weeds taking up a huge chunk of our backyard.

Melvin was able to change his schedule around for an emergency tree trim and removal the next day. The work he did was amazing, and fast. The price was below what I was expecting, and everyone else I got quotes from said they couldn't even think of coming by to do the work until weeks late. Melvin and team really helped me out, and would totally recommend them to anyone needing quick but quality work. read more

I am extremely satisfied that I hired Melvin and his team to complete a deep clean-up of my yard, which included a lot of tree trimming (at least 2-story high branches and close to cable lines!), bushes, weeding and mulching. They arrived timely, we did a walk-through about the job before they started, and they got right to work systemically as a team. When they completed the work, the yard looks so neat, clean and now beautiful! Melvin even patched up a huge hole on the lawn, which was not included in our contract. Melvin is truly customer-oriented, he is responsive via email/text/phone and he listens closely to accommodate! I highly recommend MDR landscaping and truly appreciate their professional work! read more

Although MDR only had a couple yelp reviews, I contacted them because they were very glowing reviews. Unfortunately I had a very different experience and cannot recommend them because they pulled a ridiculous bait and switch on price. I asked Melvin for a quote to remove a pile of bamboo that I had cut in my backyard. He was very friendly and personable, and told me it would be $250. I agreed and we scheduled a date. When he arrived about 10 days later, he first said they did not bring their wood chipper because it was having issues, and then said that the pile of bamboo was bigger than he remembered, and that they would not do the job unless I paid $150 more (i.e, the $250 job was now $400). He said I must have added to the pile a lot, but this was not true - the pile was the same size. I suspect the real issue was that it was going to be a harder job because their wood chipper was broke down. I told him we agreed to $250 and I relied on that, and that I needed the bamboo removed soon because it would ruin my grass if left for much longer. He then proposed that I pay $100 more, but I refused because that amount is still too high and not what we agreed to. Really disappointed to rely on a company's word and then to be treated this way. read more
