Landscaping reviews in Glenelg, Maryland

They did amazing work and truly transformed my yard into something beautiful that I love relaxing in on a daily basis. They were able to remove several trees and old shrubs that were causing issues next to my house. Their plans for my backyard matched up with my ideas and the hardscaped patio in the back is perfect.

Great American designed and built an extension to our deck, and did a fantastic job. Steven really understood what we wanted out of the outdoor space, and also delivered when we had tweaks to the design. He also put in extra effort to make sure that the Trex decking matched between our existing and new decks - the attention to detail was really something special.

We had a huge problem with erosion in our yard. It was undercutting a beautiful large tulip poplar tree that we wanted to save. Steven and his crew came in and not only filled in the ditch, but installed rocks to slow down the water flow which have prevented the erosion from reoccurring. They did a nice job when promised as promised and left the area looking better than when they started.

We had the absolute pleasure to work with Steve Talcott from Great American Landscapes when it came to beautifying the area around our home. Steve met with my wife and I and listened to our 'needs and wants' and was able to offer a customized solution for the front, sides, and back of our home. Specifically, we wanted to utilize the existing plants, but transplant them from the front to the back and install a custom field stone patio and stone veneer at the front of our home. We also wanted to expand our beds and bring in Maryland native plants both in front and behind our home, and we needed a solution to the down spouts and massive amount of rainwater we got from our large roof when it rains. Steve's team from Great American Landscapes was able to not only re-use and transplant our existing bushes in a manner that made the back yard pop, they also moved all our rose bushes to the side of our deck where it now serves as a beautiful visual break and hides the underside of the back deck. They planted a mature crape myrtle which tied the back yard together as it was a natural anchor for the corner of our deck; they also installed a dogwood tree near our lot line which abuts a state park, and the tree blends seamlessly with the surrounding old-growth and we can't wait to see it in bloom next year. Finally, his team were able to bury down spout pop up drains so that the massive amount of rainwater has a far easier way to get downhill and away from the home. Taken together, Steve and the team at Great American Landscapes provided us with a custom landscaping solution, performed the significant amount of work in around a week, and we were able to have frank and open conversations in order to get what we wanted at the budget figure we had in mind. We simply can't recommend them enough.
