Friendly, top-notch professionalism from beginning to end. We couldn't have been happier with the entire experience, from the beginning planning phase to the final result. The Sharper Cut transformed our rather boring and ordinary landscape and sidewalk leading to our front door into a stunning curved paver walkway surrounded by a gorgeous landscape and retaining wall that includes shrubbery, trees, and perennials that add a little splash of color to each area throughout the year, and our preferences were taken into consideration in the entire planning phase. The work was done in a timely manner, and the end result was (and continues to be) nothing short of stunning, I would recommend The Sharper Cut for any landscape job you might be seeking, no matter what the size! They certainly do strive to please!

The Sharper Cut has done excellent work at my home as they have done 2 major projects. I was very impressed with both Justin and Bill. They work very hard to please the customer. The will not stop until you are 100% satisfied. The quality of their work is outstanding and they are very knowledgeable. They do not cut corners and will not do it unless it's done right. I loved the fact that they are open to suggestions and do not come across like they know it all they listen to the customer and value the customers input. I could go on and on but the bottom line is when my next project comes along Sharper Cut is on my speed dial and if you use them they will be on yours as well. So if you have a project call Sharper Cut I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Bill and his team did a great job upgrading the front of my house including a new driveway, pavers, and a new look front entrance. I had them do a second job for me of sodding and seeding after some major excavations on my property. They always delivered on their promises and were responsive to any concerns I had after project completion. The team was always courteous and prompt. I would recommend them for any landscaping project.

Bill and his team were on time, on budget, respectful of our property, and creative with solutions to our landscape challenges. The results are spectacular.

Our backyard was great when our kids were little, but as they have grown we have had no use for the space. We knew we wanted a backyard to function as an entertaining space. From beginning to end, Bill and his team of professionals did a fabulous job! My husband and I both had some ideas of what we wanted but not completely positive. They took our ideas put them in a 3D setting so we can really see how the backyard was going to look! The finished result was true to scale and we have been enjoying the backyard ever since! They even put in a life-size scrabble board... custom built! We highly recommend their work!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Yes and no. Our landscape design process and fees are computed hourly on a standard worksheet based on job scope and plan choices. Prices are set at initial meeting and we do not charge more if the hours go over agreement. Full landscape design plans range from $2000 - $5000. All landscape project costs vary depending on job scope. We do not believe in change orders,and are only added when a client requests additional work.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Our typical process starts with a phone call. This phone call makes sure that what the customer is looking to do is something that we can help them with. The nest step depends on job scope. All landscape design leads are scheduled for initial landscape consultations, which are held at our office in Upper Marlboro. Before the meeting, a designer takes preliminary photos of property to use during meeting. If it is a good fit and they sign up for the process, we go out to the property to perform a site analysis. The next meeting is a concept review and then followed by a final plan review. There is also a budget and contract review that can be scheduled in person or online. All estimates are pre-qualified and then a member of the team schedules a time to meet with them on-site (travel distance dictates if there is a fee for estimate). The estimator creates a design (fee may apply depending on job scope) with a proposal. This can be discussed online or in person.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Our office staff have attended college; most have a bachelor's degree in their related field; head designer has a master's degree in his field. The staff continues to educate themselves through certifications (ICPI, NCMA, other industry specific courses). They also watch webinars, visit trade shows, read association newsletters, and learn about new products and services. Our crews continue to train with yearly "refresher" days; this makes sure that everyone is performing consistently and correctly on all job sites.
