DO NOT USE! I paid a lot of money for landscaping that still looks poorly done. The tree layout is…read moreuneven, one was completely forgotten and later planted by hand, and now it's visibly misaligned. The spacing makes the entire front yard look unfinished and thrown together. I was told the boxwoods would fill in within a year; it's been two years and they've barely grown. That was either completely unrealistic or just flat-out misleading. The edging and flower bed work is sloppy and uneven. There's no attention to detail, and it shows. Communication was just as bad. Calls were ignored, and when he did respond, it was with "what do you want to talk about?" -- which is not how you speak to a paying customer. At one point, it honestly felt like his own worker knew more than he did and was trying to guide him, but he didn't listen. This wasn't a one-time mistake, it's a pattern of poor workmanship, lack of knowledge, and unprofessional behavior. Save your money and hire someone who actually knows what they're doing.

I can't say enough about the excellent work done by Cosmo Landscaping. Unsurprisingly, the owner of…read morethe company is a guy called Cosmo, and working with him was a real treat not only because he has such a delightful name, but because the work he does at the price point he offers is unparalleled. Communication, affordability, flexibility, efficiency, assiduity - that's the package you get with Cosmo Landscaping. But what you really need to know is I moved into a new house with a disaster of a backyard - it was full of random old bricks, tiny pebbles, and the corpses of about ten -thousand lantern flies. Those little pebbles I mentioned - man - they were everywhere - and were sort of cheap stone you might expect to find at the bottom of a fish thank rather than sprinkled about your yard like a badly decorated cake manufactured by a kindergartner with free reign of the confectionery cupboard. Alas - such was my yard. And I wanted it fixed - bad. I brought in all kinds of troops. Old friends with big debts to pay who I hoped might do me a favor, family with construction business experience, and even a half dozen landscapers and contractors who all promised the world tied up in a pretty pink bow that would fit right in my backyard. But I didn't trust a single one, until Cosmo showed up. The first thing you gotta know is that I'm not easy customer to please. I can do a good bit of construction myself, and like I say, have the soldiers to rely on should I need a hand. But the thing I don't have is time, and so I hate hiring a guy to do a job that I could have done myself (with a little help from my friends) only to find out the job was done half-assedly and worse than I would have done myself. Cosmo came to give me an estimate in the middle of a horrifying blizzard and stood outside with me for ages thinking through exactly how the project should look. I had half a dozen cockamamie ideas that he talked me out of - thank YHWH - and he even used a bunch of old garbage leftover from the previous owners to demonstrate and help me visualize the ideas he had and to talk me out of my own disastrous line of thinking. Well, long story short, we had a lot of back and forth about the price, the objective, how it would look, the features, and he was good enough to trust that I could handle a good portion of the preparatory labor - so he worked with me on that and we got the job rolling and over a period of time we transformed my yard from no-mans-land to a wee urban oasis. The proof is in the pudding, as they say (see photos below).

Nassau Suffolk Tree Service did an excellent job the first time I used them earlier this year. When…read moreI wanted to remove two additional trees that died, I called Richard, who responded promptly and quickly got the job done for a reasonable price. His workers cleaned up and left no evidence that they were there except for the vacant space the trees once occupied and the neatly stacked pieces of lumber that came from the trees. I highly recommend the Nassau Suffolk Tree Service, they deliver high quality service. Doing business with Richard was pleasant. He is an old-school guy who is disarming, engaging, informative, fair, and professional. He and his workers did a great job.

The owner, Michael is probably the worst proprietor of a business that I've come in contact with for some time. If you agree with them on a set of tasks for their "workers" to do, they will not. p.s. Oh and the review on 3/27/2019 is from the owner himself, "Michael I". Ignore that When I raised these concerns to "MichaelI", he responded as follows.

My boss - like most businesses- you have to invoice then a check is cut- this is normal. But NOT with this shoddy landscaper. Yes I am upset. I hate being screwed over so I am saying this so it does not happen to you. To wrap up I do not recommend NY Plantings and Garden Design. BAD customer service.

Today, a truck labeled G & F Oliveros Landscaping was driving down my street and I called the number and I could not be happier with what happened next. I called the number and a gentleman from the company came out and gave an estimate to dig up some old shrubs, cut the grass, do a spring cleanup and plant new box hedges. I accepted the estimate and within 30 minutes his crew began working on my front and back yard. They were very professional, took all of the yard debris away and finished the work in under 1.5 hours. I will definitely hire this company again and I'm very glad I saw them drive down my street today!

Lana's experience as described in her review tracks almost exactly with our experience! We also had…read morea huge, mature tree leaning on our building after a major storm, which had to be removed ASAP. Steve came by to assess several hours after we requested and was able to schedule removal for the next day, astonishingly. We did not see indemnification language in his form proposal (agreement), but were able to have him add us as additional insureds -- and he volunteered to add all adjoining neighbors as well. His policy limits are adequate. And he affirmatively reached out to the school across the street from us to notice them about the large trucks and noise associated with tree removal. It was a huge job, but he and his team were able to complete the work in a single day. Other contractors had told us it would take two days. He and his team were clearly experts at rope work and took down branches without causing damage to the pergola or patio below the tree. They did have to take out our beautiful smaller tree adjoining the large, leaning tree, sadly. This kind of work is expensive -- heart-attack-inducing expensive -- but based on the quotes we received, Steve's pricing is not unreasonable. Very professional company and team, very responsive to questions. We would not hesitate to recommend Steve to anyone who finds themselves in the same unfortunate situation we were in!
