Get matched with top landscape curbing installers in Pittstown, NJ

"I have been using Prestige Lawn Care, LLC. for over 6 years now and they have never disappointed me. Marc and his crew follow all of my directions perfectly. They do great work, are quick and efficient, and are very reasonably priced. I have been very happy with their lawn care and landscaping services and will continue to use them for years to come."

"Excellent! I can't say enough good things about this project. We live in a 1920 Dutch Colonial, our walkway was falling apart. Miguel gave us samples to look at that would match our front Brick porch. The brickyard he sent us to allowed us to bring samples home to compare. He ordered what we wanted and within 4 days began the project. He came early in the morning and stayed well into the evening and completed the job in 2 days from demolition and removal of the old walk to the installation of the new one. He seeded the lawn that edged it. We selected him because he a patio and driveway and walkway for our nextdoor neighbors. We've lived here since 1974 and people trust the contractors we use. We highly recommend him and we always like to hire local owner operated businesses. For an additional fee he planted 2 trees in the front of the house. We are very satisfied."

"They removed it within 24 hours."

"Well, I scheduled well in advance fr 8:30 on the Tuesday morning. At 10:00 I called because nobody had called or shown up and I had to leave for work. I was asked if I still wanted someone to come out because it was cold and it had rained the day before. I said "yes" and I was told two guys would be there in about a half hour. 45 minutes later a truck pulled up in front of my house and two guys sat there until 11 when they got out and told me they had the wrong street number and were not sure which house to go to. Well, they were very nice and I told them exactly what I wanted done. When I had to leave for work, I told them the existing leaves on the grass did not have to be done if they ran out of time because I could pick ten up with my lawn mower. I came home after dark and the next day was very excited to look at my back yard leaf free. The perimeter of the yard where the beds were was mostly leaf free, but what they did was blow all the leaves from the back yard onto the grass, leaving  leaves as much as a foot deep in places which was way too much for my little lawnmower to handle. I tried calling Brett and left him a message telling him my concerns. Later in the afternoon my husband and I decided to tackle the daunting job of removing all the leaves. After about two hours, we got the grass totally free of leaves and made a huge pile of leaves in the back corner of the yard and in addition took out 10 bags of leaves to the curb. Brett did call me back and when he heard what happened was very apologetic and volunteered to come back out. I told him it would be very nice if they would like to haul off all the leaves we had gathered. He said he would be by Saturday. On Saturday they showed up just as I was leaving the house and I was very pleased....until I came home! They very kindly had decided to not only haul off the huge pile of leaves that I had created from the wrk I had done, but they decided they did not get all the leaves in the flower beds the previous time so they would get them this time. So, they blew all the remaining leaves onto the grass which at that point had not even one leaf on it, and left me a yard full of leaves to get rid of - again! So back to the yard I went to mow and rake the leaves up, and in some spots they were taller than the front of the lawnmower so I had the problem again of picking them up. So, are they nice? Absolutely. Were they willing to come back at no charge to fix up their mess? Absolutely. Did they fix the problem? Well, partially by removing all the gahered leaves in the back, but in the interim, they recreated the first problem. I feel bad not giving them rave reviews because Brett and the other two workers seemed genuinely nice. But three hours of leaf raking after paying $199 to have it done just does not make me want to give them rave reviews.

"Joel and the team at Appliance Driven are absolutely incredible! I called them to install a gas range that I purchased elsewhere (before I found out about AD) and reinstall a dryer that some idiots from a big box store had installed improperly, leaving a gas leak. Joel walked me through the entire process, told me exactly which parts he would be replacing, and was able to install my appliance for a reasonable price within 24 hours of my call. Furthermore, he even offered to beat the already-low Cyber Monday price from the other retailer if I wanted to cancel my order with them due to a delivery issue. Top notch customer service! His installation team was equally impressive. They went above and beyond for us, fixing a leaky washer hose they discovered when they went to fix the dryer and hauling off the packaging from the new stove in addition to the old unit. They installed the new stove meticulously, explained all of their work and checked and double checked to make sure everything was working perfectly before they left. On top of all that, they were efficient, professional and friendly. I could not be happier with Joel and Appliance Driven. They have a new customer for life. I can't wait for an opportunity to give them more of my business!"

"Anthony Gallo Landscape was wonderful from beginning to end. The crew came in and transformed my garden areas in a day with real professionalism. Anthony was easy to work with, gave me an on-the-spot estimate that was a solid $500 less than the last guy, and didn't sweat the small stuff. My only slight complaint is that his guys could have been more careful with some of the plantings, which were done in some haste. Even so, I highly recommend!!

"Fantastic and outstanding, work delivered on time, when promised, very efficiently, no change in pricing, looks great, great improvement in the “curb appeal” for our house!"

"Alex exceeded expectations: Left a VM during this busy time and got a call within 24
hours. Truck showed up the following day and did the work. I contacted
Double Tree last thinking that it would be the most costly....Turned out
they were the lowest price and the only company willing to show up
quickly."

"Prompt service. They went above and beyond to make sure my yard was looking neat heading into the winter months. Im not a handy one with landscaping. My yard needed some tough work and they came through. Will definitely have them back in the spring to kick off the warm season with mulching."

I can't rave enough about Billy Vamvakidis and his crew.
Billy is a pleaure to deal with, and understood the vision for the new stairwell and patio that I described. He clearly explained things that I hadn't thought about (such as drainage concerns) and reviewed with me the simple pictures that I had drawn.,
He came back with a quote in a week (which was exactly how long he said it would take). We revised the quote only once, as I had been revising the drawing. We realized we had underestimated the square footage of the patio.
After all was said and done, the final cost was only about 4% higher than the original quote - because we needed additional retaining wall blocks, based on the issues detailed below.
As the actual work got under way, Billy made -- and made good on -- a number of and quot;Don't worry - I'll take care of that for youand quot; promises, Some of the snags and solutions we encountered are detailed below.
1) Yard was difficult to access.
The only access to the backyard was from a neighbor's driveway, which is about 4 feet below the grade of the yard. Billy removed our chain link fence, and backed a flatbed up to that wall, and very carefully drove the bobcat and digger across a steel plate bridge. I'm pretty sure other contractors would have looked at that access problem and walked out.
2) Rocks, Rocks, and more Rocks.Our house is in Cliffside Park, on top of the Palisades. You can't dig down more than a foot or two before you hit big rocks and/or the cliff head. Billy and his team unearthed some giant rocks (and kept them for us to decorate the planter boxes) as they were grading down the yard. Finally, toward the back of the yard, they hit a rock (or the cliff head) that would not budge. The top of that rock would have to become the lowest point we could grade to. Billy's crew then had to UNDO the grading that had already done to bring the rest of the yard back UP to that minium level. They didn't charge me extra for that work, although -- that meant there was less material to remove, so - that may have been a wash, cost wise.
3) Solving design issues as they come up.The original plans called for a much wider stairwell down to the ground floor entrance. When the old, narrow stairwell was removed, it became clear that there was no bricking on the exterior of the house below grade. Rather than try to re-brick the newly-exposed wall - or create some kind of stucco finish that wouldn't match, we re-though the return walls of the stairwell to create more of a and quot;flareand quot; -- so that the more and quot;openand quot; feel would remain, even as the return walls came closer to the door.Also, once the big, immovable rock re-set the grade of yard about a foot higher than planned, it became clear we would need to add a step up from the patio entrance (at the side of the house). Also, the new curved retaining wall suddenly seemed very short next to the raised patio. Billy added a course of wall block to raise the retaining wall (bringing it back to and quot;sittingand quot; height) and created a nice design element uniting the stairwell's return wall to a single step up to the patio.
4) Little Extras without nickel-and-diming.I did not haggle with Billy on the initial quote. and quot;I'll pay you what you want, but I don't want to be dinged for the little extras here and there.and quot; I think that understanding worked out quite well for us. The only thing he charged me for (beyond what was quoted) was extra wall block: because of the and quot;big rockand quot;, we needed to raise the entire length of the wall by another course to preserve the and quot;sitting heightand quot;, and we needed wall block for the riser for the new step that was needed. Also, as we finalized the grading, we realized that the curved wall really need to extend around about 12 feet further than planned. What's important to note is what I DIDN'T specifically pay for that Billy felt added to the overall quality and appeal of the job:
4a.) Two window wells - since the yard was graded higher than expected, we needed two window wells at the house. He didn't charge me for these.
4b.) Cinder-block cap to outside retaining wall on east side of property. When we raised the curved block retaining wall by another course, it's top was now higher than the outside retaining wall facing the neighbor. Billy added a and quot;capand quot; of blocks to this existing wall so that its height would match.
4c.) Bury a conduit for me: in the back of the yard about 40 feet from the house is an 8' x 8' quaint-looking painted cinder-block building we use as garden shed. I've always dreamed of having electricity out there. Since the yard was being all torn up, I asked Billy if he could run a conduit from the house to that shed, and he did - at no extra charge. He also drlled the difficult holes in both the house and the shed to complete the run.
4d.) Double-sided block for the end of the wall: The original plan called for the curved retaining wall to and quot;disappear into the ground' as the grade behind it sloped down to the patio level. When completed, this looked a bit odd -- there was about 8' -10' of wall cap that just seemed to be sitting on the ground - begging you to step over it - or worse - trip on it. It seemed clear that the wall needed to be the same height all the way around, and just and quot;endand quot;. The problem was that - for this last 8' - 10', we needed double-sided block - because you would be able to see the and quot;other sideand quot; of this higher wall from the lawn. Billy somehow managed to get his hands on a few matching double-sided blocks to complete this, without making me buy a whole pallet of them. (or maybe he cut some single-sided blocks and put them back to back?) I don't know. Don't care. It looks great.
4e.) Small and quot;porchand quot; patio and interesting wall return at the Garden shed. Hard to explain - but totally his idea. Looks great. Pictures coming soon.
4f.) Totally unrelated repair. On the other side of my house is a three-step stairwell down to another ground floor entrance. The return wall on that stairwell is falling apart. As we were closing the deal, he off-handedly mentioned - and quot;Oh we can fix that up for you.and quot; It wasn't mentioned in the quote/contract, and - he could have easily 'forgotten' about it. But he didn't.
All this work was done over the course of about four weeks. His crew consisted mainly of two guys who were here every day. Billy would come by every day in the morning and late in the afternoon. We talked about the yard - while actually standing it it - almost every day for 15- 30 minutes before I left for work.
I would recommend Unique Custom Landscaping for extensive hardscaping work to anyone without reservation.
