Amazing
City & State: Fairfax, VA

Jeremy and his team did a fantastic job on our patio from pre work to finish! The workers showed up on time and respected our property. They worked hard from start to finish every day. Jeremy and Chris were on site daily ensuring clear communications on project status and to make sure we were happy with the way our patio was shaping up. The transformation was amazing! Well worth your time and money if you are in need of a patio or deck upgrade!

Great service at an excellent price
City & State: Woodbridge, VA

I’ve been in the DMV area for going on two years. This company is BY FAR the best to have delivered on what they promised. Normally, I’ve become accustomed to seeing price inflation after final price agreement. However, not only did I receive great service at an excellent price, but the supervisors checked in regularly to ensure I was satisfied with the work of their team!!! If there was a higher rating than A+….. I’d give it without hesitation!

The finished product is phenomenal
City & State: Fairfax, VA

We selected South Side Specialties for our patio upgrade and re-design for a number of reasons; craftsmanship, professionalism, and fair market pricing. After shopping around with several companies, we ultimately went with who we trusted. Jeremy and his team were attentive and easy to partner with for bringing our vision and patio re-design to life. The craftsmanship of the finished product is phenomenal and we couldn’t be more thankful!

Amazing job
City & State: Fairfax, VA

Southside did an amazing job. They designed and built an 8x10 screened -in porch to replace my old one. Jeremy the owner and his manager Chris are very competent. They had ideas and suggestions that made the porch even better in both construction and appearance. I highly recommend them.

Highly recommend
City & State: Fairfax, VA

I recently had a fantastic experience with my Southside Specialties, who built a 1000 square foot Trex deck for my home. From the start, they were professional and attentive, offering great design suggestions and helping me choose the best materials. The construction process was smooth and efficient, with the team maintaining a clean worksite and demonstrating excellent craftsmanship.

The end result is a beautiful, durable deck that has transformed my outdoor space. Jeremy’s commitment to quality and customer satisfaction truly sets them apart. I highly recommend them for anyone looking to build a high-quality deck.

Exceptional
City & State: Reston, VA

Southside did a small project for us which consisted of re-doing our flagstone front stoop which was in need of a makeover. All projects have their challenges and this one was no exception. The difference is who is going to be steadfast in delivering for the client? First, Southside is fortunate to have quality people doing the work and interacting with the client. Chris (Ops Manager) was determined to make sure our experience was a good one. He was responsive to all of my requests and was a pleasure to work with. He knows that its all about the client! Promises only go so far. Chris delivers. And then delivers more!
As for the crew, they are master craftsmen. Rene and Jose are highly skilled, personable and great reps as the face of Southside! Having worked on billion dollar infrastructure projects, highly skilled craftsmen are tough to find. Rene and Jose are a treasure of skill, positive attitude and pleasing the client! Southside is good! Their people on the front line like Chris, Rene and Jose are exceptional.

Could not be happier
City & State: Alexandria, VA

South Side recently completed a project at our house. They built stacked stone retaining walls and a stone patio. We could not be happier with the work! Jeremy and Chris were great to work with. They were always very responsive and made sure the project turned out just as we wanted. We will definitely use South Side again in the future, and would not hesitate to recommend them.

High quality work, great customer service, and prompt communication. Couldn't be happier with our project and will definitely use their services in the future.

A wonderful experience
City & State: Fairfax, VA

What a wonderful experience. We found South Side Specialties through an advertisement, so didn't know what to expect, but from the first appointment Jeremy was impressive. The planning, communication and attention to detail was wonderful and the finished product is spectacular. We had a very complicated project and are most grateful for their communication and problem solving when unforeseen issues arose. Jose, our foreman, was exceptionally skilled and thorough. We strongly recommend them and will absolutely hire them for additional projects in the future!

Outstanding company
City & State: Fairfax, VA

I'm glad I chose South Side Specialties to do our small patio. The end result looks really nice and completely suits our needs for years to come. Although the project didn't go as smoothly as we all would've liked, South Side Specialties was always very pleasant and responsive and didn't leave until we were 100% satisfied. I know if we ever have any needs in the future, this is a company I can rely on.

At the beginning of the project, we had a hard time visualizing the different options for our space. Luckily South Side Specialties helped show us different options through 3D design. If it wasn't for the design and being able to see the options, I don't think we would have been as happy with the end result. This was an extra service but totally worth it for us. The design team was creative and worked with us to fine-tune exactly what we wanted.

The project itself was straightforward. Unfortunately, the team messed up the slope and water was pooling on the patio. This was frustrating and stressful for us but we all have to remember that no company or person is flawless. South Side Specialties owned up to the mistake and re-did the patio. The commitment to excellence even after the project was completed is very telling of an outstanding company that stands by its work and does the right thing.

This is an amazing company
City & State: Woodbridge, VA

Almost a year later, Jeremy and his company helped us in an emergency situation. Without any prior notice, the electrical company showed up digging in my yard with the intent to remove part of the patio to repair an electrical line. I contacted Jeremy about this emergency and he quickly showed up and properly took control of this situation. I’m so glad that even in my panicked state I thought clearly enough to call him because it honestly saved us so much possible damage and he properly removed and replaced all the pavers. Our patio looks as if nothing ever happened and now I have peace of mind that the patio is still properly installed and ready for when I’m able to install the deck. This is an amazing company.

Excellent
City & State: Fairfax, VA

I have had three projects with Southside and the experience for all can be summarized in one word - Excellent!! The latest was a walkway to access our rear patio (Southside project from a year ago) to accommodate my wife who is now wheelchair bound. Not only was the walkway done on time, within budget and beautiful, but they made it slope gradually so my wife would not have to deal with a ramp at the end.

Professional
City & State: Fairfax, VA

South Side created a beautiful stone wall that sets off a large parking area on our property. Jeremy suggested incorporating lighting into the structure and I love having that area lit up starting at dusk and throughout the night. The guys on the work team were professional, the job site was always left in good order and Jeremy really is out to please his clientele! I give them a great rating because they deserve it.

I couldn't be any happier
City & State: Woodbridge, VA

Jeremy responded to my questions and concerns in a timely manner. The employees are so respectful, always on time and they worked hard to complete the task. The project was completed in a timely manner and I couldn’t be any happier. We will rehire to complete the second part of our project. Will post pictures soon.

I highly recommend South Side
City & State: Woodbridge, VA

We were absolutely delighted with the work done by South Side Specialties! They placed a lovely stone walkway and built a unique tiered stone border around the garden in the front of our house.

On time, hardworking and professional
City & State: McLean, VA

Jeremy's team did a fantastic job on my front stoop and walkway. They were able to start the project 2 days after contracting with them. The team was on time, hardworking, professional, and did a beautiful job. I would certainly recommend Southside Specialties for any landscaping or patio work.

I couldn’t be happier
City & State: Falls Church, VA

Jeremy, Renee, and the entire crew were fantastic! They stuck to the schedule they promised, the price they quoted, and even threw in a couple items (like a lawn sprinkler) at no charge. Renee was tremendously friendly and addressed every question I had. Also, the crew cleaned everything up so that the property looked good as new! My yard looks great, I have new drainage, and I couldn’t be happier. I would whole-heartedly recommend this company!

Highly recommend
City & State: Woodbridge, VA

Jeremy and his team did a great job fixing the drainage problem we had in our backyard by installing a 150ft long french drain. They regraded the land to smooth out the surface and direct water towards the new drain, laid down new grass seed and straw to prevent erosion. That evening a huge storm came through and washed away some of their work. Jeremy and his team quickly came out and fixed what the terrible weather had caused. Highly recommend, quality work and will definitely use them again. Thanks!

Amazing to work with
City & State: Arlington, VA

Jeremy and his crew were amazing to work with! I was looking for a flagstone patio that would step up beautifully on the hill in my backyard.

City & State: Lorton, VA

South Side designed and installed a walkway from the driveway to the front door; this included covering an existing concrete entry with stonework. The design was great; the crews were professional and left the worksite in excellent condition every night; they made recommendations (re-grade and sod versus build a retaining wall) that we are very happy with. Highly recommend!

Did an absolutely amazing job
City & State: Woodbridge, VA

Cannot say enough good things about South Side Specialties! If you want to get any work done on your home's outdoor space you will not regret having South Side complete the work for you. Each one of them are so talented, do great quality work and are extremely kind and professional. They did an absolutely amazing job renovating our backyard. They did a huge amount of work on our property including installing two large patios, an outdoor bar, pergola, three sheds, a hot tub, sauna, many retaining walls, fences around the entire 0.4 acre yard, boulders along the creek, lighting around the whole backyard, many large natural stepping stones, sod, removed trees and much more!

Couldn’t recommend them more
City & State: Alexandria, VA

Jeremy and his staff over at South Side were amazing! I let him and his team run with design/plant selection and it came out better than expected. His installers are outstanding and know everything about what they are planting, and they pass that information along to the customer. Couldn’t recommend them more.

Amazing from start to finish
City & State: Woodbridge, VA

Jeremy and his team were absolutely amazing from start to finish. They are hard workers who pay attention to details. Jeremy did drainage work in my backyard and also added a little landscaping for me at a last minute request. It looks beautiful back there now and keeping track water away. Win-win

Very pleased with how it turned out
City & State: Woodbridge, VA

Jeremy, Frank, Julio and the team did a wonderful job grading my front and side yard, installing a dry creek-bed with river rock for drainage, and laying sod and mulch. Jeremy was knowledgeable and was good at anticipating what I was looking for with the landscaping/draining. During the work, Julio kept me up to date on their progress and Frank was exceptionally helpful with scheduling and logistics. I'm very pleased with how it turned out!

We are delighted with the results
City & State: Woodbridge, VA

We recently had Southside Specialties install flagstone on our porch and walkway, and we are delighted with the results. We had approached three companies with our needs, and what Southside proposed was perfect for us. What's more, they were the least costly. Southside was very easy to deal with. Because they do a lot of work in this area, they are very familiar with what the LRPRA HOA will approve, and they designed our job with that in mind. They even put together the LRPRA paperwork package for us so that we merely had to sign and turn it in. Approval came quickly, probably because of the Southside's track record of doing quality work which enhances the appearance of the property. After the porch and walkway were done, we liked the outcome so much that we had them do a follow-on job, building a matching stoneware wall around our shrubbery area to replace an old wall, and replacing some bushes which were no longer what we wanted. This involved adding mulch, and when they found that they had some mulch left over, they edged and mulched our side shrubbery area at no extra charge. They cleaned up the work area thoroughly at the end of each day. Every member of their crew was courteous and helpful when we had questions. If we have another job within the scope of what they do, absolutely we will go back to Southside Specialties to get it done.

We had Jeremy and South Side Specialties landscape our new build home backyard. It's a smaller yard but they came up with a design to make the most use of the space. We love our new backyard and it's so well done and ready for entertaining. We highly recommend Jeremy and his crew.

Would highly recommend this crew
City & State: Arlington, VA

Stayed until the job was done. Reputable business with a straightforward approach. Small mistakes were made as expected with any job, but we're rectified without cost and the job was completed as planned. Work together with a landscape architect so you know exactly what you are getting. Quality work , done in a timely manner. The crew was friendly, respectful, and cleaned up the job site daily as to not upset the neighbors. Would highly recommend this crew. This is the way business should be conducted.

I couldn't have asked for a better experience
City & State: Arlington, VA

South Side did an amazing job repairing our back patio! It was definitely showing its age and they added and repaired stones, fixed grout that crumbled and did a power / acid wash that made it look brand new. Their customer service is also fantastic and they walked me through every step of the process and checked in regularly to make sure I was ok with all the work. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and highly recommend this company!

I really could not have envisioned my new dream home being any better, but South Side Specialties far exceeded anything I could have imagined!

Excellent to work with

Professional quality and finish

South Side Specialties replaced a 3 feet by 30 feet strip of grass with pavers between my townhouse driveway and my neighbors driveway.

Jeremy and his team are great. They build a backyard paved patio for us. Jeremy helped us with selection of pavers and his team did a great job!

Amazingly professional
City & State: Lorton, VA

South Side was amazing. Jeremy was friendly, honest to his word and kept us in the loop on the entire process. Any lingering concern quickly disappeared. The crews were amazingly professional, happily moving cars and equipment due to trash day in my community. We had to shift our design plan due to an unstable foundation from the previous foundation. Jeremy walked us through the situation and we found an ideal solution with no impact on the bottom line. The final product exceeded our expectations. They also addressed a common situation: a muddy path where things had been hauled to our parking lot. Two previous contractors in the community did nothing and left the mess. Jeremy and his guys put top soil, seed and straw down so the path could recover. I highly recommend South Side. Professional, friendly, attentive to the customer's needs, and fabulous work.

Amazing customer service
City & State: Woodbridge, VA

I was in the residential/commercial landscape business for over a decade. My fiance and I had recently purchased a new home and needed some work done quickly and at a fair price. Unfortunately, due to such a busy schedule, I was not able to do the work myself. However, I started looking around and I came into contact with Jeremy / South Side Specialties (SSS) via Yelp. I had multiple estimates for a pressure treated retaining wall, three drain pipes, a low level deck tear down, river rock/flagstone and artificial grass install. From day one, I knew he was going to be the company I went with. He was super professional, came in at a fair price, completed the project quickly with a very professional/knowledgeable staff and has been amazing to work with on the back end. He was so good, I recommended him to my parents for a massive hardscape project and to my homeowners association for some tree work our community needs completed.

We had no issues with Jeremy / SSS at all. A lot of companies don't really care about you once the check is cashed and the project is completed, but not Jeremy. Throughout working with Jeremy on my home project, he had found out that my grandfather was very ill (eventually passed away). Approximately two weeks after the project was completed and paid for, Jeremy gave me a ring and left me a voicemail checking in on my family and I to see how we were holding up. You have no idea what that meant to us - he's an absolute professional with a big heart and amazing customer service. Jeremy and SSS have my highest recommendation I can give them!

Amazing job

Jeremy did an amazing job on building our brick wall for our front yard that had to be HOA approved. Not only was his work terrific, but it has stand the test of time as well. The wall looks as good today as when he did it three years ago. This is definitely the contractor to hire for your landscaping and masonry needs for your yard!

Super professional and extremely skilled
City & State: Alexandria, VA

I contracted South Side Specialties to take down two trees from my back yard. The trees were very close to my house and leaning towards it and with the winter months coming I didn’t want to risk it. Though they weren’t the cheapest quote I’m glad I chose them afterwards I had no regrets at all. They were super professional and swift but most importantly extremely skilled. The crew was solid and someone was always available to answer any question I had. I’m looking forward to using them to construct my new patio in the spring.

Jeremy, Eliza and the team landscaped my front yard and my neighbor's yard. They also installed a stone walk in hers. We both are thrilled with the results.

Three other neighbors also used them for landscape and hardscape with excellent results.

I cannot speak highly enough about the level of professionalism and skillset that this company has shown me. From the initial phone call to inquire a potential project, to the completion of my retaining wall, Jeremy and his whole team have been solid!

Without a doubt, I definitely have the best landscaping on my block on both sides of the street! Going forward, I will only be utilizing this company for ALL of my landscaping needs. If you are wise, then so would you. Thank you Jeremy, Frank, and team for everything, it has been a pleasure!

Extremely professional

South Side Specialties removed five trees. They also grinded the stumps. They were extremely professional. They came to my house in uniforms and their vehicles were clearly marked with their logo. The crew worked hard and what I enjoyed the most about them is that they truly enjoyed their work and each other. You don't see that often. They will be coming back in the spring to do some landscaping for me. I highly recommend this company. Check out their Facebook page to see some of the landscape and hardscape they have completed.

Highly recommend you give South Side a try
City & State: Woodbridge, VA

South Side did an amazing job on my yard. I got some trees cut down and the ground was too hard to grow grass. The area was bumpy and uneven as well. I asked South Side if they can make that area grow grass and even out the yard. Well, Jeremy and his crew did not disappoint. They saw my vision and went above and beyond. They got a bull dozer to smooth the area and dropped new soil, grass seed and hay. I got quality work out of quality people. I highly recommend you give South Side a try.

I couldn’t recommend Southside more.
City & State: Arlington, VA

For the past three years, we’ve tried everything we could to get grass seed to grow in our front yard. But between a bad slope and improper drainage, we finally had enough. We had initially tried a different landscaper but after their initial estimate came in at double our budget (after we paid an $800 design fee), we looked elsewhere and came across Jeremy South and Southside Specialties. From the onset, we couldn’t have been more impressed. Jeremy knew exactly what the costs would be based on our desires. Once the project got started, his team was very professional and very expedient. As things progressed, we changed and altered a couple things and Jeremy was all too accommodating. Between the sod, retaining wall, and proper drainage, our front yard is now the pride of the neighborhood and I’ve had several neighbors ask who did the work. I couldn’t recommend Southside more.

Very professional

We recently lost a part of a tree during high winds. We contacted Jeremy with South Side Specialties and he provided us with a reasonable estimate to take down the rest of the tree and remove the stump. We were very happy that he and his crew were able to complete the job on the same day. Jeremy was very easy to work with and, he and his crew were very professional. They also cleared up all the debris and left our front yard looking good. We would definitely call on South Side Specialties again and recommend them highly.

Very pleased with the quality of the work

South Side performed yard grading and laid sod in a portion of our yard this Spring- very pleased with the quality of the work, employees and ownership concern for the project. Pictures can be provided upon request- grass is of excellent quality and appearance.

Incredibly efficient and hardworking crew
City & State: Chantilly, VA

Jeremy and his crew did an excellent job with a retaining wall and patio area. The planning process went smoothly (we debated materials and design a bit) and construction was completed on time by an incredibly efficient and hardworking crew.

Excellent service
City & State: Arlington, VA

Excellent service!!! I made an impromptu to request to remove a dead tree in my backyard. They were working on a neighbor's yard but said they would definitely take a look. The crew arrived the following morning and within 1 hr. removed the tree and all debris. I would definitely recommend.

We lost a part of a tree during high winds. I requested estimates via Yelp and South Side Specialties responded quickly. They provided a reasonable estimate on taking down the remaining part of the tree and removing the stump. They were also able to complete the job the same day. They removed the tree, the stump and cleared all the debris. Jeremy was very easy to work with and he and his crew were very capable and professional. We would definitely call on them for future projects.

Real pros who deliver more than they promise
City & State: Arlington, VA

Hire South Side Specialties if you want real pros who deliver more than they promise. We couldn't be happier at how Jeremy and team turned our eroded slope into a compliment-generating terraced garden with stairway. The design protected our beloved trees and we're loving the space to plant in fertile soil that stays put. Way better than we imagined.

I highly recommend South Side Specialties
City & State: Springfield, VA

So very grateful to have found this awesome local small business landscaper! Just a few of the things that set South Side Specialties apart from the rest of the pack:
1) Super responsive. Jeremy contacted me within hours of my email. Other landscapers took days, never got me estimates, or didn't respond at all.
2) Really listened to what I was trying to accomplish and worked with me to figure out how to get there. Jeremy didn't try to tell me what I should do or want- he made sure he understood what I wanted, and made suggestions that could accomplish that.
3) Reasonably priced and efficient. I got a better product for less than I paid previous landscapers. Jeremy and crew showed up on time and got work done quickly and thoroughly.
The scope of the work I had done was pretty extensive- major tree pruning, sod installation, retaining wall/flower beds, spring clean-up, removal of overgrown bushes, installation of plants, concrete pad poured, and installation of a large natural stone drainage system (tying into existing drain system) to accommodate the beautiful natural slope of my yard that backs on to a green space with drainage to the marina. Previously, rain would funnel directly across my yard, dragging debris and piling it against my fence, and keeping grass from growing. Thanks to Jeremy and his exceptional crew and vision, water is funneled away from my yard in a form that's lovely to look at, and I have a yard full of grass for my dogs to enjoy.
I highly recommend South Side Specialties for all your landscape/yard work needs. I will definitely use them again for any work we need.

Can’t recommend them enough
City & State: Vienna, VA

We called Jeremy at Southside to offer suggestions for some erosion and drainage issues. We loved his ideas and he promptly sent us an estimate for this project as well as some landscaping upgrades we discussed. They started work two weeks later. Started on a Monday and finished by Friday. He and his crew did a wonderful job! They buried downspout drains, regraded a section of our yard and put in a beautiful stone walkway. They replaced mulch in all of our beds and our yard is now spring ready! Can’t recommend them enough!

Professional, on time and answered all of my questions
City & State: Woodbridge, VA

They were professional, on time and answered all of my questions. I took several quotes before picking them. They installed a French drainage system and brought my the vision for my back yard to life. We had to make some small adjustments to the stone but it worked out in the end. All in all, I would recommend this company for any home landscaping projects

The Southside guys did a great job
City & State: Alexandria, VA

The Southside guys did a great job working with us to use what we had on our property to create some really great curb appeal. They talked to us and discussed options and listened to us about what we wanted and were willing to spend. In the end, our townhouse looks nice and clean and it's easier for us to maintain than the landscaping we had before. Thanks Jeremy!!!

Worked efficiently and did an excellent job

I highly recommend South Side Specialties! Jeremy and his crew were efficient and thorough. I had to have a tree removed and a couple of overgrown trees pruned. Not only do my trees look great now but my yard and driveway are spotless! Jeremy is super knowledgeable and made sure we understood the pruning process to ensure that our trees remain healthy and manageable. The crew worked efficiently and did an excellent job!!

I highly recommend Southside Specialties

Jeremy and his team arrived on time, did a great job and cleaned up the area efficiently. I had one large maple tree removed and several other limbs removed. Jeremy was great about following up after the job was done as well. I highly recommend Southside Specialties.

Excellent service
City & State: Fairfax, VA

Excellent service! These guys removed 2 LARGE oaks from my front yard in one day in a timely manner. They were on time and professional. The boss guy was polite and friendly and he and the crew did a great clean up job after, blowing and raking up the chips. 5 stars for sure. I've had different work done by different tree folks and they've left large dents in my grass of torn up turf by falling limbs and leaves and chips everywhere, not these guys though. 5/5.

Efficient and respectful
City & State: Springfield, VA

Jeremy was quick to respond to my request for an estimate, and very reasonably priced. He even came early! He called to say he had an earlier appointment available, which worked for us.
His crew was efficient and respectful. They left me a spot to hang my bird feeder, which had been a concern of mine. They discussed with us which branches needed to come down, and removed them cleanly and quickly. I would recommend South Side Specialties very highly.

Amazing job
City & State: Woodbridge, VA

Jeremy and his crew did an amazing job with my front yard. I had a bunch of bushes that were out of control and a tree that had limbs all over. You really couldn’t see my front door. Now I’m not embarrassed to drive up to my house. My neighbors no longer hate me. Thank you S3. You’re amazing and very nice as well.

Awesome job on our front and backyard
City & State: Woodbridge, VA

The landscape team with South Side specialties did such an awesome job on our front and backyard! I feel like we have so much more space in our yard and it just looks so clean cut. Not only did they cut down trees, trim limbs off of others and pull weeds; but they also mulched as well. They were able to finish the work in an efficient time frame and constantly checked-in with my husband to see if he was happy with their progress. Great work, we are so happy that you helped us get our yard into such great shape!

They went above and beyond
City & State: Falls Church, VA

Jeremy and his team are amazing! They went above and beyond! I wish I had before photos... they pretty much demolished a forest full of dead trees and bamboo and turned it into a beautiful backyard. They mulched, removed weeds and trimmed everything in front. It all looks so beautiful. It was a surprise for my girlfriend and she was blown away! Jeremy was extremely communicative during the whole process and even removed all the yard waste all for a very reasonable price. I highly recommend for any and all landscaping services!

No need to look further than South Side Specialties
City & State: McLean, VA

Jeremy came out the very day we called and came back with a reasonable estimate the next day. We had an out-of-control crab apple tree and he agreed to take care of it while we were on vacation. When we came home, our tree was beautifully pruned and there wasn’t so much as a twig or leaf of debris in the yard. I’ve never needed a tree guy before, but now that I’ve found one, no need to look further than South Side Specialties!
