HL Design / Turf and Flora Landscaping, LLC

Dave of HL Design was very professional and a true EXPERT in his field. His quote was the best in terms of cost out of 7 quotes that I received. He quoted and used Nicolock oceanic blue PREMIUM pavers, cobble stone edges, full-nose raven coping, 2-8ft sitting stone wall with 4 LED lights and a transformer. He installed a River Stones in the existing planting bed. The quality of work was great and the patio turned out beautifully! His workers cleaned after themselves each time. I absolutely love my patio and the flower bed. Dave and his crew did a GREAT job. I highly recommend them!!!

Punctual, professional and efficient. Made suggestions to help save me money

Dave and his crew are the best. Very good services. I would highly recommend them.

When I called HL Design, I spoke with Catherine. We set an appointment for the next day. Dave, the owner, came out and I showed him exactly what I wanted. He recommended Nicolock Pavers for the patio I wanted. Before he left, I had a detailed proposal that was not only fair, but included everything that would be done. I hired him on the spot. NO BS! Straightforward and honest. Dave and his awesome crew came out 8 days later and completed our patio in one day. Let me tell you, Dave's crew took an ugly space under our deck in the back of our townhouse, that wouldn't grow grass, and transformed it into a thing of beauty. Over the past year and a half, we have had quite a few major projects done in our house. This one, by far, was the most pleasurable one. I cannot say enough about HL Design, Dave Howe and his amazing crew. If I could give ten stars, I would.

Dave and the crew at HLD were a pleasure to work with. The quality of the work was first class and exceeded our expectations. The crew was organized and professional. The finished product, a 90 ft. Interlocking paver walkway is beautiful and has caught the eye of several neighbors. Choosing HLD was the best decision we could have made. Thank you Dave and the HLD team.

David and Crew were very responsive. The pricing was extremely fair. Team did a great job. They worked above and beyond the contract. I would highly recommend them.

HL Design was an awesome contractor to work with. They were the first to come out and give us an estimate, they gave us the best price, they explained about the materials to be used and answered all our questions. Before the work began, we had to change some of the original design and they did that. They were here and on time and completed the job on time. The work crew were fantastic and did a super job. Also on the plus side they are a local small business. We highly recommend HL Design!

Good work

I do not normally write reviews, but I feel like I should let other people know about this company. I could write an entire essay on my experience with them but I will try and keep it short. I hired HL to redo my entire front lawn with new walkways, retaining walls, plants, mulch, and trees. I spent over $17,000 and thought I was getting a great deal. Dave and his group were very nice at first but once work had begun things quickly changed. They would say nice stuff to my face but I would catch them saying bad things about me behind my back. They had horrible communication with me, they rushed to get to the next job, and I had several problems with their work. The amount of stress they caused me was truly unfair to me. I eventually got most of the problems fixed. One of those problems was they did not install weed fabric under all my beds as discussed. They came back and fixed it but did a horrible job. They also put barely enough mulch back to cover the fabric and dirt so now I have a literal jungle in most areas. I was not happy before I paid but no amount of money is worth the issues they caused me. They even put grass seed in the mulched areas that are now grass. I would have tried to get them to come back out for the fourth time but it is not worth the stress. I expect a little maintenance but my yard looks nothing that was agreed to. I will have to fix it myself in the spring but I had to write this review because everyday I look at my yard and I am not pleased. Reading the other reviews makes mine stick out but I would not recommend them. Spend your money on a better company. UPDATE: Owner reached out to remedy the issue. They came out and pulled out all old mulch, weed, and weed fabric and replaced them. Looks much better. They seem to have taken more care this time and I hope it works. Fabric seems to have been put down better with more mulch too. I hope the mulch is deep enough with a combination of fabric to stop most weeds in the spring.

Awesome company. Quality work at a fair price. They actually use their phones. I would hire again and definitely recommend.

Professional and accommodating, Dave and Cathy adjusted to our changes without hesitation. Our patio is beautiful and we are pleased with the result. We do recommend this company. Charles & Sharon

HL worked with us to design the patio we wanted and came up with some very good ideas that we adopted. They then installed it quickly with a crew that was extremely courteous and accommodating to us with regard to some final adjustments that we asked for during the installation. The result exceeded our expectations. We will likely hire HL again.

HL Design responded quickly and the job got done in a timely manner. I would highly recommend them for other projects.

David and Catherine have a great crew and do what they say is going to be done, in the time frame agreed to. They did a large project for us right before Thanksgiving. His crews worked late some times to ensure they where done on time. The workmanship is fantastic, paying attention to every little detail. Davids design and installation crew greatly exceeded our expectations... We cannot say enough about HL design! You can hire with confidence, David and Catherine will do you right.

N/A

They came at the appointed time, and were very courteous, and were very knowledgeable about the trees. Removed the two large dead pine trees, took everything away, and blew off the driveway. If the need arises I will certainly use HL Design again. I would also reccommend HL Design to others.

Amazing man and very attentive to detail and request and ideas and was able to make the idea come to an actual vision of what I wanted the back yard to look like. Great personalized experience and awesome customer service.

A solid contractor; courteous and timely.

One of the best out there in Landscaping/Hardscaping, if not the best I’ve experienced.

Mr. and Mrs. Howe along with their team of professionals transformed the entire back yard of my Ellicott City townhouse from grass/weeds to a beautiful hardscape surface. Great quality, extremely efficient from start to finish, overall a wonderful experience. Will be reaching out to them again in the Spring to transform the front yard, I consider them landscaping/hardscaping, "Alchemists".

Pleasant and will work with you at your convenience and reliable

They will work with you if you want something changed or corrected. They do want you satisfied. Their stone mason is very good and takes pride in his work. I would recommend HL Design.

They did their job efficiently

The work performed by HL Design was superb. They used the existing stone to re-build our retaining wall. Once the wall was completed, they finished the top layer with pavers. The steps they built from the patio down to the lower level looks like a work of art. Truly beautiful. The workers were true craftsmen. They were on time, efficient and professional. We were so pleased with the final results that we are already planning another project for HL.
