"My experience with TLC Inc. was a very positive one! I had a well/cistern that was leaking onto my lawn. Apparently the drainage system had deteriorated over the years. Mr. Drew Hall came out to look and discuss the project. When we later met at TLC to discuss solutions, Mr. Hall clearly explained what has to be done and showed me photos of a similar project. Mr. Hall also worked efficiently with my town’s public works and the county agency to create a system that was satisfactory for all. As the work progressed, Mr. Hall diligently kept me updated. Now, my lawn is dried out, instead of being a swamp. I recommend TLC Inc. for any water-related issues! Thank you, Mr. Hall!"

"We recently hired Thomas, Urban Paving and Masonry, to redo our front steps and walkway with pavers, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results. From start to finish, the team was professional, punctual, and incredibly skilled. Thomas helped us choose the right materials, communicated clearly throughout the project, and executed everything with great attention to detail ensuring that it is exactly how we want it.

"This is the third major project that Phoenix has completed at our home, and the results were equally as impressive as the others. The attention to detail and craftsmanship Phoenix brings to any project they take on is second to none, and it was needed to complete our patio and stairs. The deck portion of the project was complex and required the demolition of part of the existing concrete pad as well as en expansion of the previous footprint. The stairs required similar attention to detail to match the existing second story deck while preserving landscaping and mature azaleas that could not be replaced. Phoenix handled this task flawlessly while going above and beyond the original scope to make modifications that fit our needs and bring our vision to life. I would trust Phoenix to complete any project at our home, and we will certainly be calling them for our next project."

"Summary: I hired Hydro-Tech to install a new Hunter sprinkler controller with a wireless rain sensor, and replace a broken sprinkler head. Communication has been poor throughout, including scheduling. I had issues with the controller immediately after installation. While I contacted the tech who provided the proposal via email the same day as the install occurred (5/25), it's been 11 days since I sent that email and I have received absolutely zero response. Given that I reported the controller as defective within a few hours of the installation and have received no response, I can only assume that Hydro-Tech cannot be trusted for after-installation support in any way. Caution is strongly advised. Full description: I requested a quote to install a new sprinkler controller a replace a broken sprinkler head. I was able to get David Ogurko to come out to provide a quote the next day. He indicated it was a small job and probably wouldn't take more than 1 hour of labor. He said the work could be scheduled relatively quickly. David provided a reasonable quote. The proposal requested 100% payment upfront but I emailed him on May 2nd to request 50% payment in advance, 50% upon completion. Given the small size of the contract, he said I could just pay the entire amount upon completion. I then returned the signed contract on May 3rd. David emailed me on May 4th stating that I would hear back shortly regarding scheduling. As I heard nothing by May 11th, I reached out for information. He responded saying he couldn't schedule the work because he hadn't received payment - even though he previously said I could pay after the work was completed. I forwarded the prior email and he responded, "I will take care of this first thing in the morning." One week later on May 18th, I received an email stating that the work would be completed on the 25th, between 7 and 12 PM. A tech arrived shortly after 7 AM. He installed the controller, replaced the damaged sprinkler head, and physically installed the rain sensor. However, he never setup the rain sensor on the controller. I only discovered this after he left, and I had to call to have it done remotely. I immediately began having issues with the controller. Despite installing a wifi access point in close proximity to the sprinkler controller, and the controller and my Ubiquiti controller reporting a very strong signal, the sprinkler controller would drop off the Wifi approximately 30 minutes after initial setup. Rebooting the device resolved the issue temporarily until it occurred again. I sent an email to David the evening after installation (5/25). It is now Monday, June 5th and I have yet to receive any response from David. I later discovered that the Hunter controller just has very poorly designed Wifi code. Wireless devices are expected to connect to the strongest access point when multiple access points broadcast the same SSID (wifi network). This allows you to seamlessly roam between access points in a large building/home, and works well with most laptops, smartphones, tablets etc.. However, it appears the Hunter controller would connect to the proper access point, and for no apparent reason, drop the connection if it saw other access points broadcasting the same network. When I created a dedicated wireless network for the sprinkler controller only on the access point with the best signal, the issue went away. While I appreciate that it now appears to be working, the fact that I received no response whatsoever from Hydro-Tech indicates that they cannot be trusted to provide any after-install customer service."

FAQs for retaining wall installation projects in Mclean, VA

Landscapers typically charge $25 to $50 per person per hour, which equals around $50 to $100 per hour for a two-person crew. These rates can vary depending on your location, the size of staff needed for the job, and overall job type. For example, a larger crew will be needed for structural additions and hardscaping versus planting flowers. 

When it comes to landscapers, licensing laws vary. Landscaping architects are required to be licensed in all 50 states, whereas traditional landscaping contractors are not typically required to hold a certification. You’ll likely be working with a landscaping contractor for most residential projects. If you are redesigning your whole yard or adding in hardscape features, you will work with a landscaping architect at some point during the project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local landscaper guidelines.

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: 

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.

The cost of a paver patio is $3,800 for a 280-square-foot patio on average. Depending on the patio size, paver material, and design complexity, this cost can range from $2,400 to $7,000 or more.

The size of your patio is a significant factor in the project’s overall cost. If you're building a smaller patio of only 60 square feet, your costs will be closer to $480 to $1,500. If you want a more luxurious 900-square-foot patio, you'll spend closer to $7,200 to $22,500.

A paver patio can last anywhere from 20 to 100 years, depending on the type of pavers and how well you maintain them. 

Travertine pavers are usually the most durable, lasting 100 years or more, with regular maintenance. Concrete brick pavers have a variety of shapes and colors available and typically last 25 to 50 years. Traditional brick pavers have a more classic look, lasting around 20 years with proper maintenance.

Landscaping costs around $3,500 but varies widely from $200 to $14,000. Factors that play a part in your final landscaping price tag include:

  • Location

  • Yard size

  • Project size

  • Materials

  • Land preparation

  • Type of landscaping

Considering so many factors, it’s not surprising that the overall costs can differ. A typical landscaping project is flower bed installation, which averages between $800 and $3,000. However, landscape lighting installation is a higher-end project, with a price tag of $2,000 to $6,000
