Landscapers & Landscaping Companies Near College Park

“I am the Board President for my HOA. Prior to January 2015, we had used 5 landscapers in 6 years. Beginning January 2017, we hired Michaelangelo's and they have been absolutely a pleasure to deal with. They completed landscape tasks, such as rejuvenation pruning, that had never been done in the past. They have been proactive in making suggestions to improve the aesthetics, as well as bringing safety-related issues to our attention. We cannot believe how fast they were able to improve our landscape. They've done exactly what they said they were going to do.”

“After 10 years of living in a house with an un-usable back yard due to drainage issues, we reached out to a competing landscaping company to have our back yard completely redone. Tens of thousands of dollars later, the back yard looked good, but the drainage issues were even worse than before. The landscaper tried several things, and eventually gave up, demanding several more thousands of dollars to fix the problems. Enter Navid and his team. We were trying to sell our house, and the buyers demanded we fix the drainage problems—and do so a week before the closing date. We called Navid and The Outdoor Makeover Team with just 2 weeks to spare before the deadline. Navid himself came out at 10:00pm that very night to walk the site, bounce some ideas off my wife and me, and took lots of notes and pictures. After consulting with his team of “hydro experts”, he promptly two nights later to sit at our kitchen table and walk through the design. I appreciated his approach to “doing it right so it won’t be a problem now or years from now.” The design included a series of branching French drains, shifting existing drains to the correct areas, and re-sloping much of our back yard so that it properly drained into the existing rock swale. His team showed up just two days later and got to work. Since their effort needed to be targeted to only certain areas of the yard, they were very careful to protect the other areas of the yard they needed to cross—opting for the much more labor intensive manual digging and trenching for the most part rather than going to easier (and more destructive) route of a ditch witch or skid steer. Navid was there inspecting all the work, and in several areas demanding his team go back and re-do a sewage line, shift a drain line a few inches, or re-lay sod and pine straw. When he showed up on the last day to perform his final inspection, he saw me pulling up an old drain line that had been crushed years prior and was nowhere near the area his team was working. He insisted I stop, and asked his team to come in and finish up, replacing the line and covering it again free of charge. When he underestimated the amount of sod required to replace the area of poor drainage, he threw in another half pallet—again, free of charge. In short, Outdoor Makeovers was the best landscaping firm I’ve ever worked with, and one of the best contractors I’ve ever allowed in my home. Navid was in constant communication, came to our home at all hours of the night to accommodate our busy schedules, did exactly what he said he would do, and did it in a timeframe that my wife and I feared was impossible. The result is a back yard that finally drains properly—even after the torrential downpours recently, the new homeowners say the yard is clean and dry. Too bad we’re not there to enjoy it! But the good news is we’ve found a landscaping firm for life, and I’ve already begun imagining what Outdoor Makeovers will do at our new home. Thanks, Navid!”
