This is a complete unfair review. Virginia Meade's only concern was the fact that the bender board edging came apart in 2 areas, as well as us needing to move a sprinkler head. I agreed to do this without hesitation. For her to recommend not to use us for flagstone patio work is just not fair. We did a great job. There's a final text from her to my son, the supervisor of the job, stating "it all looks great!" I can forward that text thread upon request.

I chose BDH because of positive past experience. This job included laying a flagstone patio with bender board edging, laying down stone garden edging and stone walking path. The team was on time, professional and diligent workers. I highly recommend BDH for the garden edging--lovely job. I was not present for the job but did have facetime views via my brother who was at my house in my absence. In hind site, I should have been present to monitor and inspect the work. I do not recommend BDH landscaping if you are hoping for a flagstone patio or stone pathway seen in BDH gallery photos or photos on the web in general. While my impression is that these workers did the best they could, I think the reason the overall look of the patio and flagstoned areas do not live up to the photos I see on line is most likely due to an inability for me to have a meaningful conversation with the two key BDH men (the owner Brad and chief guy Joel) most savy in how to achieve a particular look. One on one face to face conversation with either Joel or Brad prior to confirming the job would most likely have helped me understand the pros and cons of using bender board edging around patio. At this point, seeing the weakness of the bender board to hold secure in less than 7 days since the job was done, I strongly do not recommend using bender board as an edging method for a flagstone patio. BDH owner was effectively available by text or email and of course this really is not adequate for a job that ended up costing $10k-$11k. This amount does not cover the money I will spend on sprinkler head repair. I sincerely, hope the owner lives up to his promise of returning the week of July 11th to secure the bender board edging around the patio. Within less than one week at least two areas of bender board edging came unbound from stone patio creating tripping hazard and crushed granite spilling into yard. The other significant problem area was that a walking path stone was laid exactly over a visible sprinkler head. I will provide an update to this review pending BDH Landscaping owner, Brad, promise to secure bender board in a safe and longer lasting way the week of July 11, 2022.
This is just not true. I told you this is a gravity drain. it's success is based on the gradient of your yard. I would never state that it's 100% guaranteed. I said what is guaranteed is a sump pump system, but you didn't have the budget to do that, so I did the next best thing available. If i was snarky, it was only because you called me at 1:05am, 1:07am, 1:10am, 1:15am and 1:30am, screaming at me during the project. you woke my entire family up and this was during the middle of the project. I'm professional as the people below have mentioned, but when you push a contractor this hard, you might not get the best of service. So contractors, proceed with caution. By the way, she would never come out of her house to even say hello...never met her.

Brad installed a drainage system due to water sitting in my yard for days after it rained. After spending thousands of dollars I am still having the exact same problem. Now he has blamed it on me because of As I know his exact words in an e-mail the system he put in is not able to make the water receded? WHAT? No, I didnt no Im not a landscape designer how am I to know what kind of drainage system to put in that is why I had to hire someone.... He was very short and snarky with me once the project started. I asked for a detailed written estimate several times and I never got one. I went with him originally because of all the great reviews online.PROCEED WITH CAUTION. He may know his stuff as some people claim, but get everything in writing first with all your is dotted and ts crossed prior to moving forward. Good luck!
Brad was one of the few that I worked with that got the job done and done with the smile. He went above and beyond to accommodate my budget, he searched high and low to deliver what we wanted. In short yes you can get lower bid but it is quality that you are gambling with. Way to go Brad, once I spare some more $ I will definitely contract you again for some additional work.
Thanks Juliana...remember, go to our website and click on the blinking calendar that states "book now". that will put you into Zach's calendar so you can set up your next appointment.

BDH Landscaping has done several projects for me and I cant say enough good things. I love the design they created for me. The crew was punctual and very professional. I highly recommend BDH Landscaping.
BDH built a beautiful raised garden for me along my fence line. They put in a stone retaining wall and shrubs along my rear fence line. The project came out better than I imagined. The team was prompt, professional and they were hard workers. I would have no problem recommending them to other people. In fact I have already done so.
