The work was not done according to the agreements in the contract. Damage was done to my existing hardscaping. Tiny bamboos were installed instead of 6 foot tall bamboo. Soil screening was done in a very shallow manner.

We are small minority company that is operating since 1996 with over 3,000 happy customers at DMV area , but for sure we are not perfect that works hard everyday to try to provide the best as possible ! However - sometimes what is a treasure for one individual will be debris for other , we work with people's expectation ( sometimes unrealistic expectation ) but we only can offer what is possible inside of our limitations ! ( pictures from the provided services will be available at our website - the entire procedures done and all our enforcement can be see ) Thank you for the opportunity to express our option about this situation !09/11/2021

On August 19th, MA Cleaning and Landscape Services performed landscaped services for me. The goal was to make sure that I did not have to worry about cutting grass in my small back yard. In essence, they dug up the existing grass in order to place pebbles and flag stone pavers. They also replaced the existing fence, and I referred two of my neighbors to them. I must admit that the final outcome (the cosmetic aspects looked really nice, and I was initially pleased). However, two weeks later, grass started growing in abundance in the yard. I expected some weeds to grow after a couple of months but two weeks later!!!!!!:(. My neighbors had their yards landscaped and did not encounter this situation, so what gives? I called Lily, who I have been in communication with, and she told me to spray vinegar on it. I sprayed the vinegar, and that was useless. I called her again, and this time she appeared annoyed with me.. telling me I should spray the vinegar once a week, and it should kill the root. Well, I am not only dissatisfied but upset. I called her, left a message, and she refused to return my phone call. She has received her payment and no longer has the need to communicate with me. However, it is her company's responsibility to make sure the work was done properly. I should not have to do this since her company should have made sure this situation should not occur (grass growing so quickly and abundantly) ! She did not care after receiving payment. I left a message on her voicemail to ask her to come out access the situation, and she has not returned my call. MA Landscaping should have done a better job in treating the soil, so that this inconceivable situation did not happen. I was very clear about not cutting grass. However, I have not only weeds growing but grass. The company did not do their due diligence. If this is their practice in landscaping, they should inform their clients so we should know. I reviewed the contract, and she said she would use a weed block. But, I am skeptical about the weed blocker, the process, and so on, especially when the clients expresses their desires. Beware and do your due diligence before hiring. It was not my job to spray vinegar for weeks/months when she was supposed to ensure the process was adequately taken care of. Now, I am stuck with abundant of weeds and grass growing after 1-2 weeks in my back yard--this should not have happened this quickly. She told me it was normal. So disappointed.. would never use them again! Sincerely, Jennie Chaplin, PhD Addition Edit: Please see response to Owner's response. 1. MA Team posted images of my yard (before and after ) without my consent. 2) MA never notified me of any of these "invasive weeds" (either written or verbal communication). 3) MA Team did not issue me a warranty 4) MA Team never notified me (verbally or orally) about email being the "standard method of communication" Thanks for responding to my review.

Dear [Member Name Removed] thanks for your feedback,we’re sorry your experience didn’t match your expectations. We'ld like to share with you, and those reading this review, our side of the story. We apologize if Lily may have given you the wrong impression on the phone-she goes above and beyond to make all customers happy.At the time of your call, unfortunately, she was going through a very serious family emergency that required a lot of her attention, plus we were short in our office staff, however, she saw the call and answered to give you attention, and in hopes to help you–she was not annoyed at all,she was just being short and trying her best to accommodate your call and needs.Also, on your first call you asked what to do regarding the sprouts giving the impression that you would like to solve the issue yourself; not any given moment you mentioned that you would like us to come back and take and/or fix it, and that explains why Lily instructed you to put vinegar on the sprouts. We never received an email (standard method of communication specified on our contracts), what led us to believe that the sprouts weren’t as big of problem as this review portraits. Also, the picture attached to this review shows 6 sprouts on a very small area of the patio and not an abundant of weeds and grass. On your yard there were very invasive weeds, meaning that even though we followed all the existent protocols to prevent weeds to a T (excavation – installation of weed blocker and a 4-inch layer of gravel- more than industry standard for weed prevention) a couple sprouts could appear. We expected that the process to use the warranty or communicate issues described in the contract was followed so we could know how serious of an issue this was for you and we could take the necessary actions to fix, which we did regardless (took us 5 minutes) because as mentioned before we do indeed care for our customers and Lily always go above and beyond for all of them.08/24/2021

MA exceeded our expectations. Their designer knows her stuff, and her crew does an excellent job of executing the plan. Not only would I hire them again, I plan to work with them on an ongoing basis.

I claimed the deal titled "Up to 4 Hours of Leaf Clean-Up Plus Debris Disposal." I explained several times to the company over email when asked that I did not want their landscaping services, I simply wanted the leaf removal I signed up for... ... and they sent four people in a small truck with no ability to remove leaves. I reluctantly agreed to let them blow the leaves further back in my property instead (even though I was specifically trying to avoid this by using a company that would remove the leaves). And... they only had one blower. So one person blew leaves for an hour while the other three manually put leaves on a tarp with a rake and by hand (yes, by hand; they must not even have had enough rakes to go around), and cleared some things I didn't ask them to clear. I signed up for four hours of leaf removal and basically got one hour of leaf blowing. To be clear, the workers were polite (though I had a difficult time communicating with them) and worked the hour they were here. They were sent with the wrong instructions (they were unloading shovels when they got here...) and wrong/insufficient equipment. The deal was $345. I gave the crew a check for $250 and said I'd speak with the company about the rest. Someone from the company was very polite in getting back to me and offered to have the crew come back for a half hour. To do what? More manual leaf gathering? No thanks. I used this company last year with success (my positive review is on here). But this was very disappointing. Again, everyone was polite and the crew worked (however inefficiently, given the equipment they had). But it couldn't have been any clearer in advance what was to be done. And they didn't do it.

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We are sorry to hear you had a frustrating experience, and there was a miscommunication about the details of the deal. After seeing pictures of the area and the leaves we can better understand and explain the reason behind our workers raking it manually - it was a large area with a lot of piled leaves and the blower alone wouldn't be enough nor successful for the job. Additionally to that on the email communication prior to the services being done we asked if you would like an estimate or a visit to make sure that the 4 hours of the deal (total of 4 hours, if you had a crew of 4 people that means an hour each) would be enough, which you said was not necessary and our team should do as much as they could in the 4 hours. It turned out that the 4 hours weren't enough for the amount of leaves you had, in fact, we would need 6 hours just to do the removal (not including the collection portion). We strive to provide the best services and see our customers happy and satisfied so we offered you an additional 30 minutes per person, a total of 2 hours extra free of charge to make sure we could get as close as possible to what you expected, and in appreciation of the business. We once again apologize for the situation, and we really appreciate you bringing this issue to our attention, your feedback helps us do better. -MA Team10/26/2020

Went very well. Complete in 2 full days with a 2-person crew. They paid particular attention to aesthetics afterward which I appreciated. Most positive part was, they finished the day before a torrential rain storm which washed away much of the disturbed soil (where the drainage pipe was buried) as well as mulch and some river stones. I informed them and, without my realizing, they returned to my property, cleaned everything up and left quietly. When you do jobs like this, things can go wrong (including the uncontrollable, like inclement weather). What I appreciated was how responsive they were and how they ultimately made it clear that they wanted to do a good job for their customer. Lily, the project manager was great. The crew did a good job. The price was at par with other places but I'll take that + great communication and responsiveness any day. I've already referred them to 3 others in my neighborhood and I will definitely use again.

I needed to mitigate against basement flooding. I wasn't sure if it was a matter of re-grading, replacing underground draining, or foundational waterproofing. Their estimate to do all 3 was competitive enough that I did all.

$1500 mistake... My yard looks worst then it did before they got there and I now have to pay another landscaping service to fix the damage that was done. When I reached out asking them for a quote to fix the damage, they quoted me THREE TIMES the price for SOD they originally quoted. Please be careful

We contracted with Ms. Lily and the MA Landscaping team to redo our back patio on Capitol Hill in DC. The original patio had a dilapidated fence, an uneven brick floor, and overgrown shed. The moment that Ms. Lily stepped into the space, she had a vision for safeguarding the historic nature of the patio while integrating a modern look. She was receptive to our ideas and offered her own, which allowed us to come to a great combined vision. She didn't try to oversell us or pressure us into taking dramatic, expensive changes that weren't important to us. Throughout the project, Ms. Lily was hands-on, responsive, and receptive. The work was completed in 2 weeks. Her workers were friendly and when unexpected developments arose, they quickly sought our input as well as hers. Ms. Lily visited the property each day to inspect the progress. The final result was a patio that exceeded our expectations! We were thrilled by not only the end result, but also the journey to it. Many thanks to Ms. Lily and her team - we would absolutely recommend them!

Easy to schedule, they were here early, very polite, and got right to work. They did a great job. Make sure you are completely clear with them about what you want (and maybe also what you don't want) - they did a few things I'd have preferred they hadn't, but I should have been clearer. Would hire again.

The work went very well and was pleased with it. The only problem was that the final payment was taken from my bank account without notification of the final bill, even though it was stated on the invoice that payment would be applied to the credit card on file within 30 days. My payment was taken before 30 days. I was planning on using a different credit card.

Dear Customer, we appreciate your review! We are grateful. This is the line that shows on the approved estimate from you, "NOTE: all estimates accepted require a 50% deposit in order to schedule the work. Also, once the work is done the final payment is automatically charged on the credit card used for the deposit." We don't give a 30 day window for payment because we need to pay the crew that performed the services, however please accept our apologies for using an incorrect card. We hope this did not cause you any trouble. Thank you again for working with us ma'am! Office04/24/2020

It went swimmingly well the consultant was very helpful her advice was very agreeable to both my pocket and backyard. Her suggestion to plant trees at the bottom of the slope in my backyard never occurred to me. The trees are both beautiful and functional they provide a natural curtain of privacy between my backyard and my neighbor's yard while holding the slope in place. The workers were punctual and went right to work finishing within the short time the consultant promised. Very pleased very relieved. No more weeds on the hill and a beautiful backdrop of gorgeous cypress trees.
