We are a family owned and operated landscape company that has been in business since 1989. From very humble beginnings, M&M Professional Landscaping has grown to be one of the premier landscape companies in Northern Virginia.
The company was founded in 1989 by Trent Morris while he was in high school. Based out of his parents garage, he would mow lawns every day after school until it was dark. What started as a small handful of houses on his parents street in McLean soon became many properties spread out across McLean, Great Falls and Vienna. Clients recognized Trent’s drive to provide a superior level of service at an affordable price.
Although the company has grown tremendously over the past 25 years, not much has changed. We still strive to provide the same level of quality and customer experience that made Trent successful in the beginning.

Description of Work: The experience with M&M turned out to be truly regrettable. At first, they were fine. They were responsive during the sales process, worked with us to get to a proposal we liked and we were excited for them to do our big landscaping project. The landscaping work itself was done reasonably quickly, although there were some delays that felt questionable to me but which they ascribed to weather. None of that was a huge deal. The problems arose after the work was done and we began to find all sorts of problems with their work. They failed to grade our lawn properly so water pooled in our grass turning it into a muddy pit. They installed low-quality irrigation which we ultimately had to replace at great expense. We hired them to do maintenance work and performance was spotty at best. And since they had already collected from us the big check for the landscaping work, getting responses from them became harder and harder. To call what they did "bait and switch" or even outright fraud would be going too far. But for such an expensive commitment it was about as disappointing as a service experience can be. At the M&M price point (which is high - about equal to the best providers out there) one should expect to get much, much better.

Response from M&M Professional Landscaping Inc
We are sorry to hear that your experience with our company is now considered regretful. We strive to make all of our clients happy, and as you can see from the feedback on Angie’s List, we are successful a very high percentage of the time. Angie’s List provides M&M with many strong referrals, so we take your recent negative review very seriously. After reviewing e-mails sent to M&M, it seems as though you were very happy with your landscape at the end of the initial installation ($75,000) and even signed up for additional work! On 12/18/2012 you wrote an email to Shannon stating “We have been extremely pleased with the work and service and think it would make sense to have your crews to continue to maintain the property in the future provided the pricing is competitive.” This is why your recent post on Angie’s List has us confused; it seems that you were very happy with your project and then 2 years later such a negative review surfaces. If you really believe that we deserve an “F” rating, then why did you sign up for a maintenance program once the project was completed? Clients such as yourself that sign up for maintenance programs after the installation project has been completed are generally very happy clients. Regarding your maintenance review, we understand that you were ultimately not happy with the level of service provided for your property. However, from the beginning of your signed maintenance agreement until present, M&M Lawn Care has not received a single payment towards your landscape maintenance services! Being put into this situation there were times we were faced with a decision to either service a nonpaying customer’s property or to service a paying customer’s property. Some might describe this as spotty service, but most reasonable people would understand this as a sound business decision. Honestly, we were taken aback to find a negative review for services which have never been paid for. We continued to service your property because we want all of our outdoor spaces to flourish! Within your review you had referred to your irrigation system as being “low-quality”. I can assure you we use the same high quality brand name parts, such as Rain Bird and Hunter, that other respected irrigation installers trust. If there was a mechanical issue with your system this is the first we have heard of the problem. We reached out to you 2 weeks ago about this, so that we may rectify the problem but still have not heard anything from you. And lastly, in response to your comment to our price point being high “about equal to the best providers out there”, we would like to respond and say that we are one of the best providers out there and our other reviews would reflect that.

Overall I am very pleased with the service. I worked with Shannon Reed for my design. We have a boutique condo building in DC with quite a bit of yard area, half is almost full shade and half is almost full sun. Shannon helped design a plant list that would work with both extremes and would blend together perfectly. We were working on a tight timeline due to an upcoming event at the property and Mand M went out of their way to make it happen for us. I am about one of the most picky customers you could ever have and they left me quite satisfied. They were in constant communication, I never had to look for them, all my questions and concerns were answered almost immediately through the whole process. Our plan included removal of old trees / plants, overall cleanup, planting of all new plants and trees and mulching everything. The workers were on time and worked very hard. I was very happy to see their level of professionalism. They did not just yank weeds up (we had a lot) they dug them up by the root properly. They went out of their way to clean and mulch areas behind the trash cans and AC units to complete the job. We had multiple companies contacted for estimates but Mand M was the ONLY one for us that could come through. I would surely give them a recommendation anytime and we plan to use them for monthly upkeep service.
Description of Work: Full overhaul of landscaping condo building in NW DC, ripping out trees, planting a full array of plants and trees, design and mulching.

Very professional organization. A little hard to stay in contact with your project manager as they are in the field most of the time. Reasonably priced. First service was done on time and work was done well. I signed up for a year's worth of service.

It was more expensive than I wanted it to be. The foreman was very good. The people who did the hard cutting did a very good job. A lot of the work was subcontractors, like the people that did the lighting work. For the price I paid there should have been more of a detailed plan and there were adjustments made on the fly. They were responsive to that. The side stoop was actually ripped out and put in. They widened the driveway. A lot of work was done. I felt that they were a bit condescending. The foreman was the owner and he was the principal person. He could have been more responsive. I did not always know when somebody was coming or someone would be there. I think because of the quality, I don’t feel the overall cost was worth the service. I would not go back to them. I don’t think they had a plan, and there definitely was a lack of an architectural plan. For that price, they should have had one. In some of the stonework, they were supposed to have cleaned it and improved on the material but that was never done. After a while I just gave up trying to get this work rectified. The actual crew itself was very good, punctual and responsive, and cleaned up well. I would not use them in the future.
Description of Work: M&M Professional Landscaping Inc did hardscaping, fencing, lighting and a water system for me. They took out a deck and put in a two-tier hardscape patio and put some trees and shrub sets for the garden.

The owner Trent was someone who I trusted and felt would build a quality product. His team of 2-3 workers and a foreman did a commendable job. There were some aspects of the job that I felt should have been executed better, but overall the work was good. As I've learned with all the contracted renovation works I've had done recently, it helps to question why something is being done a certain way and suggest changes, if required. The couple slip ups (in my opinion) could have been avoided had there been better communication between Trent and the foreman. That said, I highly recommend Mand M. The workers were professional. The finishing touches by Trent were good. Update: 11/14/2012. The sand under the patio began to wash away in a spot where rain water runs over the top, the drainage pipe they placed under the driveway has begun to show a long indentation on the paver surface, they did not place landscape fabric behind the patio wall so soil has been seeping through the cracks whenever it rains, and they have been horrible about follow-up work. Non-responsive. I won't use them again.
Description of Work: Built a backyard patio, carport driveway, sidewalk, and stoop with pavers.

My husband built a retaining wall using Allan Block block. The wall was over 93 ft and 4 ft high. He fell ill and could not finish the wall and the wall remained unfinished for over 2 years. This year we decided not to wait any longer. We had the wall backfilled with gravel and fill dirt. Then called Mand M. Despite some of the poor ratings - we have a great experience! Mand M regraded the fill dirt; added top soil and mulch; compost; planted 25 plants. They also finished off the retaining wall by adding a wall cap and built a partial retaining wall along our sloping foundation. The work was grueling! The men carefully cut each stone to a perfect shape. they had to haul fill dirt from the back of our yard (about 30 ft) uphill, add top soil, mulching compost, plant plants, and then finish off with mulch. The men were great. They asked questions if there were unsure. They also cleaned up and mulched areas that were barren - @ no additional cost. We are extremely pleased with the end result.

I spend a fortune on a monthly basis. It's a year around contract. They are quite good but they aren't cheap either. They are reliable and they do good work. I referred a friend and they signed up with them. I am not sure when we switched to them but it may have been in 2003. They are reliable and regular. If there is a problem they come. They are okay. I probably could get a cheaper service but they might not be reliable. I know these people. If they forget something, I can ask them and they will do it. I have a big property and they are good. I will continue to use them in the future.
Description of Work: M&M Professional Landscaping is my regular lawn service. They come once a week. They do pruning, edging, cutting, lawn fertilizing, and weeding. Cutting is the main thing. They don't do all of that every week. Pruning is done twice a year and so on.

From start to finish the project went smooth with the exception of weather delays. Throughout the project my wife and I requested a few small changes which Mand M were able to accommodate without question. At the end, Mand M walked us through the project and gave us tips and instructions on ongoing maintenance and upkeep.
Description of Work: We have a small back yard in McLean and 2/3 of it was sloped, covered in bamboo and weeds with very little grass. M&M leveled the yard and installed retaining walls to maximize the space. In addition, we had drainage problems resulting in our garage being flooded during rainstorms, which M&M was able to correct during construction. M&M also ripped out the 20 year old rusted chain link fence and installed a fence to match the neighbors. The result of the project, we were able to maximize the usable space in our yard, remove all of the bamboo and weeds, correct our drainage issues and have a grass filled yard that our 2 year old loves to run around.

It took several weeks for work to begin. Some work was shoddily done. Fence did not follow sidewalk edge as requested, post holes not filled, request for 3" of bottom clearance not observed, nailing on wooden fence was nasty-looking in places.

A four-six week scheduled job took over 12 weeks to finish. The project manager was rarely on site. The workers were lazy and didn't speak the English language when I went out there to ask them specific questions. The workers didn't follow the plan of scheduled work and when I brought it to their attention, they failed to understand the English language. When I alerted the PM, she apologized and apologized over and over again for their mistakes. The customer service was especially poor and no one returned my calls after discovering discrepancies after I made final payment. I had to sue the company in court to get them to fix deficiencies in work discovered after the fact. An extremely poorly planned and run company. I hated it.
Description of Work: I hired them to do some landscaping throughout my back yard and put in paver sidewalks along the side of the house. I also had them install a paver patio in the back of the house. It was a substantial project and soft scape work.
