"Jesse and Tillerman Gardens are top notch! We have worked with them for years. With our first home they widened our driveway, added a retaining wall, leveled our backyard and made a beautiful stone wall around our garden. Our house sold in 2 days and all the feedback was about our “beautiful curb appeal”. I was most sad to leave these features of our home, I literally did not want to move and leave my stone wall! It was a deal with my husband to call Jesse immediately and get a new stone wall around my garden. In our new home Tillerman gardens has created a new curved stone pathway, MY stone wall around the garden, leveled the backyard, created a patio around our shed, added a split rail fence, not to mention the landscaping! Jesse helped us choose the best perennial plants to give our new home that lovely curb appeal. The neighbors literally stop us daily to tell us how much they love it. My recommendation for Jesse and Tillerman Garden could not be any higher! It has not only been a pleasure working with him, but we feel like he is apart of our family and the reason we love our new home SO very much!"
"I hired Ace to clean up the last two autumn's worth of leaves from my yard. The crew of three worked for four hours and cleared the worst of the build-up. They came with all the equipment needed for the job worked diligently for the entire time, and left my yard a lot clearer. "
"Called MJ Homes Services to request mold testing at my residence. They responded to my request within in a 24 hour period. I received a quote promptly after the test was completed. I am so impressed with the services of this company."
"We have a finished basement and a crawl space in the storage area of our basement. We have found after large rain storms recently water has been increasing in our crawl space. After one storm we found over 6 inches of water above the gravel in the crawl space and purchased a temporary pump to pump out the water, discarded the plastic vapor barrier with concern of mold growing on it and began to see seepage through the foundation wall to the basement. In order to find a solution we scheduled four appointments with Angie's list highly regarded basement waterproofing contractors. We were surprised to find that each contractor provided different solutions ranging in cost from $13,814 to $1,950. We were impressed with Mr. Norfolk's honesty and straight forward approach. He noted that he could do some of the solutions provided by other contractors with piping systems to a sump pump but suggested to start with a more cost effective solution of just adding a sump pump to the crawl area and replacing the current basement sump pump that was 27 years old. If additional solutions were needed in the future he could preform them but why spend the extra money at this time if not necessary. The work was performed on February 1st and took two workman 3.5 hours to complete. The workman explained how the system worked and asked that we please follow up if we had any questions. The only area I could see improvement was clean up as after they cleaned up I had to again sweep the work area and vacum the carpets covered by their drop cloths. There was also debris and concrete mix left on the driveway. "
"Service was excellent, prompt, efficient and professional. Unlike like other companies, I got respect and my basement was put back together properly. Price on the higher end, however service is top notch."
"I am a Realtor and have been in the business full time for 20 years. I know how difficult it is to find good contractors. Willard Environmental is a family owned and run business and they could not have been more professional. They were fast, thorough, and responsive! I highly recommend them for your property needs."
"Best looking driveway in Northern Virginia. Professional, Quality Workmanship and Competitive Pricing. Outstanding quality and excellent customer service. Highly recommended company; I pan to use their services again."
Land Clearing Services questions, answered by experts
If you or your mortgage lender think your land survey needs to be more accurate, double-check the survey report and get at least a second opinion from the original surveyor and an inspector, if possible. Although it’s unlikely, even reputable surveying companies can make mistakes. An inaccurate survey can cause problems down the road in the case of any property line disputes, so it’s best to resolve any inaccuracies as quickly as possible.
Surveys completed by licensed surveyors can be recorded with a local surveying records office, and in most cases, they will be. Filing survey reports categorize them as legal documents, and they can be used whenever legal documentation of your property’s boundaries is needed. While you’re not required to file survey documents, it’s a good idea to do so.
A land survey includes the layout of a single property, including precise measurements and to-scale drawings of boundary lines, land improvements, and sometimes other features, like topography and drainage information. A plat map includes the layouts and boundary lines of several adjacent plots and basic structure measurements. Surveys are normally more valuable for homeowners and buyers, and plat maps are for governmental use.
You will find a collection of licensed land surveyors in your area. Your real estate agent or construction manager may also be able to recommend a trusted professional. When speaking with prospective pros in your area, ask the land surveyor if they are licensed in the state, have liability insurance, and can quote you a fee before starting.

Depending on where you live, you’ll likely find that you also need permits for things like connection to a sewage system or installing exterior components, like decks, driveways, patios, and curb cutouts. Leave navigating the permits required for new home construction to a professional to ensure your home is built legally and safely.
