Fence Companies & Installers Near Silver Spring

“Debbie and Andrea were an absolute dream to work with. They transformed my small DC property into a thoughtfully designed, functional space that exceeded all my expectations. With limited square footage, I never imagined I could have both a yard for my two-year-old to play in and a spacious deck for entertaining—but they made it happen. Their creativity, expertise, and ability to maximize every inch of space resulted in a design that feels both beautiful and practical. From start to finish, they were attentive, responsive, and committed to bringing my vision to life. They listened to every idea and concern, offering expert guidance while ensuring my priorities were met. Their dedication to quality and attention to detail were evident at every stage, and they were there every step of the way to make sure everything was executed flawlessly. I truly couldn’t have done this without them, and I would recommend them a million times over to anyone looking for top-notch landscape design. (Pictures added to show the amazing work done to include: front steps and walkways, all new beds and plants, new sod, fence, regrading backyard, deck, and back stairs)”

“We engaged with Groff for our large backyard hardscape, small pool and landscaping project in 2021-2022. The process from start to finish was simply the best contractor experience we have had. Design: Sean with the design team was incredibly skilled, detail-oriented and accommodating. Easily worked with us down to minute details, and offered great advice. Quinn with landscape design, similar, he met with us in the early stages and reviewed everything from botany, drainage, and meeting our unique needs. The estimating and contract were clear, accurate, and constantly up to date. Once handed to Josh and the actual build crew, the expertise continued. The crew was polite, hard-working, clean, and friendly. Clearly detailed oriented. We knew almost every day what the plan was and what was needed from us. As our project was mostly during the winter months, and while there were delays due to weather, these were expected and communicated extensively. The end product exceeded our expectations. There were no 'hidden' costs, as we thoroughly discussed and understood change orders as we went along. The personal attention from Jose, Josh, and Rob Groff was exemplary. Seriously cannot recommend Groff strongly enough. You will pay a premium for this level of work, it is a value in every imaginable way.”

“Last year, we purchased an older single family home that had significant water problems -- so significant that the basement walls needed to be reinforced with carbon fiber strips to keep the cinder blocks from buckling. This work stabilized the structure but did nothing to address the underlying water problems, which we learned were the result of poor grading, deficient gutters and downspouts, bad landscaping decisions, and no system for moving water away from the house. An architect friend recommended that we consult Brandon Sackett of Garden Gate Landscaping. We were told that water mitigation was one of his many specialties. It was the smartest recommendation this pair of homeowners ever received or followed. Brandon came in, assessed the problem, explained all of the options, and developed a plan to fit our budget. Among the solutions: 1) regrading key areas around the foundation, and throughout the yard; 2) removal of shrubs that were exacerbating the problem; 3) installation of a drywell and catch pan in the backyard to manage excess water; and 4) installation of underground PVC pipes, connected to all downspouts, (complete with pop-ups by the curb to clean out debris) to take the water out to the street. Garden Gate brought in a terrific team of landscapers who did all of the excavation and digging by hand to ensure that the PVC pipes had the proper angle to take water away from the house, and that no utilities, pipes or cables were disturbed in the process. Following Brandon's plan, we then had a roofing contractor come in and install heavy gauge gutters and downspouts, which were connected directly to the underground pipe system that the landscapers had installed. The roofer also installed openings just above each connection, per Brandon's instructions, enabling us to periodically flush out the pipes with a hose to prevent any build up of debris. As a final step, we hired Gutter Helmet to install their gutter cover system to prevent roof debris and leaves from washing into the gutters. The result: Notwithstanding one of the wettest winters in memory, our basement walls (which had been inundated with water) have completely dried out, and the water removal system has worked beautifully. While water may still be Enemy Number One for the homeowner, Brandon Sackett and the Garden Gate team were the answer to our prayers. We are truly indebted to these professionals, and heartily recommend them to property-owners dealing with pesky water problems. P.S. I would have provided a photograph, but most of the improvements discussed herein are barely noticeable. However, now that we no longer have an unmapped body of water for a yard, our plan is to have Brandon and his team back soon for the beautification phase:-) So, we'll be back with photos after round 2!”
