About Best Landscape & Construction

On Baltimore Avenue the brick fronts hold the cold longer than the sky does, and the first gray of a January morning finds the sidewalks already scraped down to concrete. Best Landscape & Construction works the Hyattsville side of Route 1 and the streets that ladder off it, plowing, shoveling and salting so a doorway is a doorway again before the buses roll. Come April the same trucks carry mowers instead, taking lawns down to an even nap and cutting a border along the walk you can see from the porch. The results are plain and they show: black pavement where slush used to sit, a curb line that runs true. Between the Anacostia's two branches, in a town that grew up along a road and a rail line, that kind of steadiness is the whole point.
