Marco Bros / Service area / Washington, DC

Houses in the District get the same truck.

Rowhouses, small yards, alley access, and the detached homes up in Northwest. Irrigation, lighting, and remodeling in Washington, DC from a crew that has crossed the line for twenty-five years.

Porch, gables, and columns washed with light

DC work is different from the suburbs. A rowhouse front yard might be twelve feet deep. The back is reached from an alley. There is a tree box at the curb the city cares about. We have done this long enough to know where the water line comes in and how to trench a small yard without wrecking it.

Small-yard irrigation

Drip for the front beds, a couple of spray heads for whatever grass there is, and a controller mounted where you can reach it. In the detached neighborhoods, Chevy Chase DC, Cleveland Park, Palisades, the lots are bigger and the job looks more like Bethesda.

Lighting a rowhouse

Step lights on the stoop, a fixture or two on the facade, and something for the back patio. Low voltage keeps it off the neighbour's front window three feet away. Uplighting a big tree in a Northwest yard is a different job and one we like doing.

Remodeling

Kitchens in rowhouses, basements that become apartments or family rooms, and back patios that get used. We work inside the DC permit process when a job needs it.

Nearby

The Maryland line runs through Silver Spring, Takoma Park, and Chevy Chase. Across the river is Arlington. Full list on the service area page.
