First Impression Hardscapes, LLC

These guys are amazing! Our yard was a hot mess. We called around to a few contractors and settled on First Impressions. Dustin was knowledgeable and helpful. He answered all my questions, took charge of details that I had not thought of, and was incredibly responsive. Now our yard looks incredible! I would not have believed it was possible. These guys come highly recommended for a reason. They are good. Service: Driveway or walkway paving

A pleasure to work with every step of the way. Chris was quick to get multiple proposals to us, and was able to revise them based on our feedback. Jose ran the site the following week and made a few tweaks to the plan to get us the most bang for our buck and we we're very happy with the results.

We highly recommend First Impressions Hardscapes. Very professional and great communication. We had a dry stack retaining wall installed and we have no complaints. It is absolutely beautiful! They actually started the project earlier than quoted. The crew arrived everyday promptly at 7:15am and some days didn't leave until after 6pm. They even did an extra small job and completed it timely. We will definitely use again and recommend.

I highly recommend First Impression Hardscapes (FIH) because of their high degree of professionalism and work quality, and in-line costs. I worked with FIH in Spring 2023 to redo a smallish, enclosed rowhouse backyard (remove driveway, old fence, and shed, add a patio, add a fence) and am thoroughly impressed with the work for the following reasons: 1) Professionalism. The FIH team was outstanding from design to the build. The design person, Dustin, listened to my goals and proposed a great recommendation for a tight space, and then worked through multiple revisions to nail it just right. Unlike some other contractors, Dustin made a rendering *before* I signed a contract so I could visualize what I would get. When the team showed up for the work, the site manager, Jose, was highly experienced, great to work with, incorporated design-changes on the fly in response to unexpected issues, and helped minimize disruprtions to neighbors. The broader team showed up on time every day and worked really hard to finish a fairly sizable project on-time. And it was not a small two person operation - there were at least 5 people on the project each day. 2) Work Quality: FIH is the real deal - and the work did not cut corners. 2 weeks later, I am very happy the quality, starting the materials used. They use solid, high quality and attractive patio materails, quality wood for fencing, and hardware that seems like it will last (I.e. hinges, gate handles). They pay attention to detail and precisely cut stone, so it fits just right and looks good - and don't cut corners and just jam in squares/rectangles off the pallet. Second, they bring in real, professional, construction equipment to get the job done; it's not unloading gravel out of a pick-up truck, they use dump-trucks, bob-cats, and roll-off containers. It is a high-quality, serious, professional operation. 3) Cost: I received 3 different estimates for my project, each was similar which makes me think there is just an industry rate. The price I was quoted also was what I paid at the end - there were no upcharges. FIH seems in line with other contractors, but given the professionalism, work quality and attention to detail, and speed - I had a great experience and would absolutely work with them again.

Had the group replace a gravel parking pad behind my home with permeable pavers - they took the lead in securing a DC city credit for the work and did an excellent job installing the pavers - very satisfied with the work. Price was very competitive with the other quotes we received.
