Get matched with top landscape curbing installers in Newark, NJ

"All of the work was done quickly, professionally, and met my high standards. The only problem arose when they installed my railings while I was out without having me select the style. I came home on the last day of work and everything was complete, even railings that I had not seen or approved. Initially, I didn't want to make them redo it. I thought I could live with it. I paid in full and they left. Ernesto called my husband to make sure we were happy. Everything seemed great, the work was well done, and everyone was professional. However, a few days later I realized I really hated the materials they chose for me. When my husband called back to see if they could change out the railings for us, they said it would cost about $500. I know I paid in full and approved the job, but after $8,000 worth of work, I thought it distasteful to be charged more money to change out materials that I never approved in the first place. I recommend their work, but be sure you approve every single material prior to installation.

"Eric, his uncle and team of construction workers did an excellent job with installing a 42x5ft Belgium Block driveway apron to protect a new asphalt edge of my driveway. They started fast and finished even faster. They are absolutely outstanding and I will be contracting with them again Lord Willing. I have other major projects needing Masonry and hardscaping professionals. Auspiciously, ALB Construction is where it’s at! Thank you guys so much! —G. A. Arathorn"

"We looked around at a number of 'high-rated' landscape companies to help us redo our entire front landscape and more. Ours had been overgrown, with trees blocking the house and a walkway that sunk into the ground leaving a large first step to the porch. After we called a number of these companies, Scenic View sent Pat, one of their experienced sales and design people. First off, Pat was great. Comparing him to the other reps who came to talk to us is really not a fair comparison. Patient, helped with design ideas, concerned about the look and maintainability, deers, etc. Not only easy to work with, but eager to help you visualize the design and offers great 3D drawings by which we could review and modify our initial thoughts. Scenic View is a great one-stop-shop. Not only did we have them do the landscaping, which included removing 3 trees from our front yard, removing a whole bunch of bushes, leveling multiple beds that were built up with rocks and mulch, but also they redid our entire front porch. Although they had hoped to just remove the brick and relayer a new front, they came prepared for anything, and in the end, they removed the whole porch and rebuilt it, and helped us select beautiful veneer stone. We also had them do pavers from the street to the new front porch in an aesthetically appealing swerving design (laid out by Pat), and also extended to our driveway. They also put in a new walkway from our driveway to the back deck, giving guest a path to walk - especially when the grass was really wet. Finally, they put in low-voltage lights, with new lights throughout the front of the house and then pathway lights on the walkway to the driveway. To make sure there really was no mud, they laid sod down to all areas they had basically destroyed with the equipment and supplies that were trucked in. They also cleaned EVERYTHING! To say the transformation was large is an understatement. During the process, Scenic's owner, Frankie came and supervised part of the process too. He helped with new suggestions on the landscaping, made sure that adequate supplies were there (they needed more pavers), helped add new pathway lights, and in the end worked to ensure that everything was to our satisfaction. We ended up spending more than we originally thought we would, but we also finished off more than we had intended. It was a great investment. Our house picture at street level in Google earth showed a bunch of trees and what looked like a house hiding behind them. Now, the landscape, lights, and front are so good, the curb appeal is amazing. One last thing about Scenic's crews. We used two crews, one for the majority of the hardscapes, and clearing of old landscaping, and one for the back hardscape and all the landscape and sodding. Any company is only as good as its crews, and Scenic has winners. They were hardworking, dedicated, and when you speak to them, they will go out of their way to help you if you have a question or want something changed or fixed. They finished everything in 2 weeks. When I look back and ask myself "was this a good investment?", both my wife and I are extremely happy. Scenic even helped arrange and coordinate the new sprinkler system we installed to ensure it was done at the appropriate time, laid conduit under the pavers to allow them to run their lines, and Frank came back after all was done and the sod was laid to ensure that the heads would pop in the new grass. Comparing Pat, Frank, and all at a very professionally run Scenic View versus other contractors (even those who were recommended on this site) who didn't even provide quotes or drawings, and had less a full line of services, is really a no-brainer. Save yourself tons of aggravation and expense (Scenic is very reasonably priced), call Pat and Frank. Now I'll use them for my landscape maintenance too! Thanks, Scenic View!"

"We had hired Craig in August 2018 to put a comprehensive drainage system in our back yard, which is still proving to be an excellent investment due to he and his team's outstanding work. When we had another drainage issue, this time in our front yard, he was our first and only choice to come take a look. We needed to figure out where an underground pipe in the front of our house was draining, since water was forming at the front corner of our property. A Roto Rooter serviceman told us that the pipe was crushed and needed to be replaced. And when I called Craig to see if he could do it, he said he wanted to take a look first. He brought a few of his team members to our house and dig some digging, both where the water was forming and where the pipe begins at the front of our house. It turned out the pipe does not go to the front of our property at all, but moves a few feet from the house and goes straight down to a dry well. Instead of charging us for labor or simply telling us Roto Rooter was right and offering to replace the pipe, Craig not only told us we could hold off on doing anything, he also didn't charge us for the labor at all. This type of integrity has been hard to find as we have done home improvements over the past few years. It's why Craig's cell phone number is the only contractor's number I've saved in my phone. We consider him a lifetime relationship, and he's the only one we will ever call for this or any type of landscaping work."

"Lord and Tree Service deserves ALL A’s ratings ! I am very picky with contractors and found Luis to be top notch ! Certain people are good with the work and good with customers. But it’s rare to get both, but not Luis – he likes his job AND customers ! I have been wanting to remove bushes for couple of years, and I chose Luis and his services because I saw that he got a lot of very good reviews and was on top of the list for good reasons here on Angies. I am adding myself to the list of people giving high ratings because I was very happy with his service. In my opinion, you will too ! I met up with Luis about a little over a week ago near to the end of May and I was immediately impressed because he was very pleasant ( sometimes contractors can be pushy, don’t listen and come across rude), and paid attention and listened to all of my needs – I had about 7-8 bushes and hedges I wanted to remove from my lawn, and one in my backyard. I knew the ones on the side of my house needed special attention because they became wrapped into the older wire fence that divides my property and my neighbors. He understood that I was very sensitive about the fence because it was there for many years, but in good shape and sunk into concrete base. It couldn’t be damaged in any way ( I had fence installers do damage a couple years ago to my neighbors fence when I had vinyl replace the wood fence , and then DENY it - so I have never considered him again ) so Luis made arrangements for the following week after he checked his schedule – I had caught him at the end of his day and he wanted to make sure he had the time and date available. ( Previous tree service people “I had USED once” came and told me they would hear from me and NEVER returned my calls and texts!! – just one time I got an answer of “Is there a chance you can tell me if we fit into your schedule next week so I can arrange that my neighbors keep dogs in house because they go kind of kooky with the chainsaw noise? ” ( I knew from past experiences when I used to trim all by myself, but my health reasons and bad back pain have stopped me from doing a younger man’s work LOL ) - all we ever got was a “yes” - never gave me a date or any information. We tried calling but claimed too busy to talk because in a tree, which I understand – but he said he would call later. We never heard from him again !! I still don’t understand – but that kind of action turns me away completely. Luis actually found time to get the job done earlier ( a day earlier ) and asked if it was ok and I was fine with it. He came, cut down everything I asked, was super protective of the wire fence, and he and his partner cleaned up everything, and I was happy with the price and the service. If I had other trees or bushes to cut ( I have nothing left but one bush that we are leaving ) I would only use Luis. He is very friendly and always smiles. Even on a day like yesterday when the temperature was hot ! Call or Text Luis you will not be disappointed ! Very fair price for very good work ! I added a picture - the wire fence was the biggest challenge. I was nervous because of it's age, but it's been through many hurricanes and blizzards. And it was important to keep my neighbors Doberman from having me for dinner LOL. ( I need to paint my sidewalk, It's overdue ! ) I wish I had a "before" picture to show - but I thought it was important to show how easily a chainsaw could have taken that old fence down - and trust me - the hedges over the years grew and wrapped themselves around a lot of the loops and poles - so it actually is a pain in the neck, especially when you don't want to drop anything in neighbors yard. Luis asked them if ok to go over and he cleaned up. And now I just need to think of what I want to do with the left over loose soil. Not sure if I want to replant anything just yet. Maybe I will torment and plant IVY - kidding."

"Very happy customer. Not only did Tanzer have the best price for the installation (had 3 quotes) they also had the fastest estimate to get the job done. The work was also top-notch from the placement of the system to how fast they got the job done."

"After meeting with a number of other contractors for our project, we decided to hire MD Construction. We hired MD Construction to replace the failing retaining wall in our driveway as well as installing steps to a paved pathway that leads to our yard. We met with Miguel (the owner of the MD Construction) and he is very knowledgeable with the process and materials involved. They gave us a great price and provided us with a copy of their insurance and NJ contractor’s license. When they started the work, we had very bad rainstorms the entire week, which made their job even harder. However, they were diligent and professional throughout the process and completed the project on time and within budget. The wall looks great and is an appealing improvement to the home. We will be using them again to replace our patio in our backyard."

"John and his team did an excellent job. John always answered my calls/text and kept me well informed of the whole process. He worked around my schedule. His team was very professional. They were always on time and kept the work area very neat. I will definitely give him a call for the next project. They removed the old driveway and retaining wall, installed a new drain, installed a new retaining wall, put down base layer, and then a new asphalt driveway."

"It went great, they were on time, professional, and efficient. The best my yard has ever looked thanks to Woods Landscaping. Will certainly be using their services again."

"This is now our second project with Roy and his Team. We recently tasked them with a large yard renovation and driveway project. The scope was very expansive: demo of existing hardscape, installation of drainage, grading, belgian block driveway curbs, belgian block apron, paver patio, sidewalks and more. The work and craftsmanship changed our whole yard and looks beautiful. The crew and Roy are respectful and friendly, highly recommend."
