The man assisting with the chipping, helped by sorting the limbs into piles depending on the size of the limbs. He also helped put them into the chipper and move them to a wheel barrow. We used the chipped wood as mulch on the path next to the dry stream. All three men worked very hard and we are very pleased with their work. We will hire Lawn Wrangler in the future.

They were helpful, answered all our questions, and overall were just very responsive, timely, and professional. We found the perfect granite for our project! United Granite did everything they said they would do, on time. At the last minute we decided that we wanted extra granite for a backsplash, and to change the width on a section of the countertop, and they quickly accommodated. They installed the granite on a slightly uneven outdoor stone kitchen and it looks fantastic. They seem to have a very efficient system, and good communication between their customer service reps in the store, the measurement folks, and the installers. We would definitely use them again.

In the back, Keith created beautiful, curved stacked-stone walls that he capped to be flat and reinforced with concrete. He made a nice little stone staircase that lead to a gate in the fence at the back of our yard. In addition to the hardscaping, he planted a variety of shrubs including mahonias, azaleas, astilbes, japonicas and some ferns around the accent boulders. It really made our small back yard a great place to be. He also planted shrubs and ornamental grasses around the cherry tree in our front yard. It's very nice also.

We weren't terribly impressed. I think I would use someone else the next time. They inadvertently covered up one of our sprinkler systems in putting in a walkway. Then when the sprinkler system came on the next morning, it washed out what they had done. Then they were coming back several days to fix it. I wasn't happy with what they did and I wasn't here because I didn't know when they were coming. They didn't tell us. I waited and waited and finally gave up. They came when I wasn't here. I wasn't really happy with it. We haven't called them back. I guess, I should. I'm just over taxed right now for time. I need to have my husband call. He is better at that than I am. I was happy with it when they first finished it. But then I didn't realize the sprinkler head was buried. They should have seen it. It was very clear that it was there. I feel they just wanted to hurry and get it done. There was no way they could have missed it, because there was grout there before. Sometimes it's hard to find all the sprinkler heads, but they dug up that area to put in a stone. I kept telling them that I didn't like some of the pieces of stones. They did change some, but when they came back and fixed that one part that was on that step, it didn't look like the finished product it had 10 days or two weeks before. I was happy with the finished product in the beginning and I wasn't after. I don't think they did a real good job in replacing the sand. There is a few pieces of stone I wish they would replace. Everything else was okay. He is a very nice person. The first day that they worked, he came and checked on them and then we never saw him after that. I think a person that owns the company should come and see the finished product. I really was sort of waiting for him to come by and he didn't. I just wished he had returned to check on the job. Maybe he came when we weren't home. He might have, but he didn't leave any indication that he had been here. I know it's a busy time of the year, but that's his job. As a contractor he needs to do that. The guys that did the job were all very good. They were very gracious. They were here on time and they worked hard. They didn't bother us at all. These landscapers they do projects and people aren't happy with certain products. So I guess they have a place they take them back to and try to find something else that might make you happy. They put big stones down to make a path. They made two huge long paths. I'm handicapped and I couldn't stand on the stones. I don't have an ankle in one leg and the other leg has compensated for it over the years. So I've got severe arthritis in it. So it wasn't what I expected. They did take back about 5 or 6 of the stones and brought something else which weren't much better. They were better and I finally gave up because these are big, big stones. I was expecting them to be pretty much flat that people could easily walk on them. We didn't realize exactly what we were getting. Every stone is different size. They go to a stone yard where they sell all these things and they pick up stuff and then they hope that we can pass it on to you. It's hard. I'm sure they take them back to a place where they put left overs. That's what I understood from the guys. But the guys we very nice and he was nice when he came. After the other part of the job was done and they said, \"We're going to fix it up.\" My husband sent the final check and should not have. He just figured they were going to fix it fine."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/md/annapolis/stewart-lawn-and-landscaping-reviews-218230.htm"},"position":8},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"The Vertical Connection Carpet One Floor & Home","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"MD","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Rosalie C."},"reviewBody":"Laminate was a very difficult random stone pattern that needed significant experience in laying to maintain a good effect."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/md/columbia/the-vertical-connection-carpet-one-reviews-219752.htm"},"position":9},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Homepros Contracting","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"MD","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Cathy B."},"reviewBody":"HomePro's did an outstanding job.

Stone Countertops questions, answered by experts
One of the primary benefits of a soapstone countertop is that the material is heat-resistant. You can put a hot pan on soapstone, and it won’t scorch or crack. Despite being able to handle extreme heat, soapstone is much softer than granite, quartz and similar materials. This means that it scratches easily, so you should not prepare food directly on the surface.
It is advisable to have stone countertops inspected every few years, especially if damage is noticed. Regular maintenance and inspection help catch and resolve issues early, extending the countertops' lifespan.
No, quartz can’t withstand that type of extreme heat. Quartz is heat-resistant, but hot pans will damage the resin binder and cause discoloration. In severe cases, it could even crack the quartz. Always use trivets or hot pads to keep the surface safe from damage.
To remove cloudiness from marble, use equal parts baking soda and water to form a paste. Apply it to the surface, allow it to sit for at least two hours, then wipe with a microfiber cloth. Another option is adding a couple of dish soap drops to warm water and wiping the surface after you’ve applied it to the surface. You may also consider using a liquid stone cleaner.
Unsealed granite is more susceptible to staining and other damage. Regularly sealing your granite countertops decreases the chances you’ll need to repair damaged countertops in the future. It also keeps it looking shiny rather than becoming dull over time. You can check whether your granite needs resealing by putting a few drops of water on the counter and waiting 15 minutes to see whether the water permeates the surface.
