    My new backyard at night.
    John C.

    Holy cow my lawn is amazing. All my life, I've walked through perfect lawns and wanted my own. I contact the two landscapers and I'll tell you why I picked Jack: 1. I asked him what type of grass I needed for a dog and he said "Kentucky Blue Grass", which, according to Google, was perfect for my area. 2. I asked him if I should sod my lawn to save money and he honestly told me that the sodding should take place in the fall. 3. I made the mistake of passing on the sprinkler. I realized my mistake after Jack told me that I need to water the backyard for 45 minutes everyday the next two weeks. When I told Jack I made a mistake, he texted me back with the number to his water sprinkler contact, Anthony, who was also nice on the phone. The point is that Jack knows what he's doing. I can't believe it only took two hours to flatten my backyard, apply some soil, and sod to perfection.

    My front and backyard have a new life! I'm so happy that I found this company. I was needed to reshape and update our green zones. I was very pleased with the price and the result! Thank you

    We had such an amazing experience with J&R Custom Landscaping. They were here early, extremely friendly, and worked hard! They pulled out roots we had from our old bushes, leveled the dirt, mulched the entirety of our flower beds, and planted all of these trees in under an hour! Was truly amazed with how efficient they worked. Couldn't be any happier!

    Was so pleased with J & R Landscaping they redesigned our front landscape to be such a beautiful design. They were a pleasure doing business with very professional and personable through the whole process start to finish. My questions were answered right away and they were always on time for any consultation and the day of the project. Giacomo, Johnny, Mario and all the workers did an amazing job they also had incorporated a few existing plants I asked the day of if they can add which they did with no problem. They made it look the absolute best they were also so helpful with giving ideas for the design. I would recommend J & R to anyone definitely the best.

    I'll start by admitting I can be a difficult customer and often spend way too much time getting estimates, changing design plans, and mulling over vendor reviews. My backyard project was no different. I received estimates from five reputable companies on Long Island that were either recommended through a Facebook Moms/Dads group, Yelp, or through word of mouth. It just so happens that I liked all the landscaping companies I brought in and all had very similar ideas however, J&R stood out from the rest in two distinct ways. First, the price was reasonably lower than others and second, Giacomo was as honest and reachable as any vendor I have dealt with. It never felt I was bothering him after numerous calls with plant suggestions, pricing questions, and scheduling during COVID. Keep in mind my job was probably on the lower end for them as these guys do jobs both large and small in ultra wealthy areas and everywhere in between. That said I felt like I was a priority. The owner always called back within minutes and was a pleasure to speak with. When install day finally came all three owners were onsite both days with their workers helping and coordinating the project to ensure the work was done as we planned. This is unheard of. The material they used was the highest grade and the final product is even nicer than I imagined. My property not only was cleaned afterwards but throughout the entire job. These guys are as OCD as I am. In the time of COVID they were overly cautious, all wore masks and gloves, disinfected regularly, maintained distance, and even worked with limited quarantined staff to mitigate spread. Most importantly these guys care more about your happiness than money. I asked if they could touch up my front yard, fix other shrubs around the house, adjust plants back and forth, and they did it with a smile and without extra costs. All these guys do is talk about their family and thats how I was treated. I know I can call these guys tomorrow, in a week, in a month, in a year if there is a problem and i know they will pick up and happily address the issue. Like many others on Facebook have said before: if you want a high end design with white glove treatment for a reasonable price than J&R Custom Landscaping is a great choice. Thanks Giacomo! We cant wait to enjoy the yard!

    Guys did a great job this morning removing some old overgrown Leyland cypresses and planting new green giant arborvitaes. Fast, professional job at a very reasonable price. Cleaned up & seeded before they left. Highly recommend!

I remember Sal coming over and recommending a landscape designer to see what was possible, this delayed the process but it was absolutely the right call. They were in the middle for pricing but sals local knowledge and no nonsense attitude were key factors for me. I got stacci confirmed and sal and his team got to work. The staff is top notch and did an amazing job, not just for the main driveway expansion job, but also with reconfiguring my steps (towards the top) to be wider and more welcoming (which I didn't even have specs for!). Sal is full of good ideas and executes beyond expectations, he has a critical eye and will have his guys redo it if he doesn't like it. I highly recommend Stasi and can see why others do as well.

    I want to continue my review of this business. After I had updated the review of the work that was…read moredone to my home Yesterday I noticed that the concrete the Stasi Brothers did, was cracked. I called and spoke to Erin and Kelly about the issue and they sent Sal to look at the crack. To my surprise all the nice things I said about Sal went out the window when he rudely said 'cant do anything, let me me know when it gets bigger'. Everything I googled on cracks in Cement state "if it's a headline crack it can be fixed easily and Not to wait till it gets larger" ...more or larger cracks are more difficult to repair" and more costly. I know that this was not the Sal I knew. He sounded more like his uncle Joe, arrogant and disrespectful. In the mean time Joe, do the right thing and let YOUR workers come and seal the crack. This is your fault. I told Sal when they poured the cement that the root of the tree needed to be cut out but you and your men said it didn't matter. I only redid the block of cement because they were lifting a little. The old cement was there for 30 years and had NO cracks. Just a little lift at seam. You are a business you need to take care of your customers. Btw sand that was put between nicklock pavers is still missing and you charged me over 11,000 for the work that has overspilled cement on pavers. I didn't even complain about that last October. If you want me to update this review I recommend that Joe tells Sal to fix this issue. ​

After getting proposals from 5 contractors, we decided to go with LIMC for the project. Tommy and his son came by twice to ensure the measurements are correct and their proposal is one of the most competitive in terms of pricing. I wanted to have a concrete base for the pavers because my previous patio was set on regular gravel base and had settled unevenly after just two years. The whole project took about two weeks from start to finish. Tommy's crew worked efficiently without cutting any corners. You can definitely tell that they are experienced with concrete and masonry. We decided to go with the Cambridge Toffee Onyx ledgestone pavers with Mocha Border. For the driveway, we went with graphite colored concrete with pavers circle and apron. The result was spectacular. I have gotten so many compliments from neighbors on my driveway. The blue stone stoops were excellent as well. In conclusion, Tommy and his men did a fantastic job with the patio, walkway, stoops and driveway. I highly recommend LIMC.

Moses, the owner or LM masonry, came to the rescue and came up with a game plan of how to fix our previous hazardous mason work (from a different company) and made our path to our front door, sidewalk, and basement egress safe while keeping it in a budget that was reasonable for me. Moses and his team arrived on time and were very kind and respectful of my property. They always cleaned up the worksite each day, and the expectation of the time the work will take was accurate. The quality of work was truly amazing Moses completed. He really did an incredible job and we are so grateful we found Moses and his team. Thank you Moses and crew for your amazing work!

As many of you have probably experienced in your home repairs there are lots of contractors that don't show up to the appointment they made or they try to sell you on services that you don't need and are unnecessary but a way for them to inflate the bill. You don't have to worry about that with Diamond Masonry! We are very happy to have found them. It was a true blessing. Rest assured that you can trust them to do the right thing.

They finished the job in two days and were fairly priced. It's been about a month and we haven't seen a leak yet despite all the snow and rain. If we do I will update. Give them a call. They didn't reflect the negative reviews I read on here. If you want the full details read on. Vinny came to our house and was very detailed in explaining what he thought the problem was and how he would fix it. He listened to my questions (I tend to have a lot) and didn't try to upsell us. I assumed the problem would need a French drain and more and he felt confident that we didn't need to go to that expense. He said he could do all of that but we would be fine with an exterior membrane. I met with two other waterproofers who pretty much said the same and Vinny was the middle quote -yet we still chose him because he was honest and down to earth. Also I liked that his sons do the work so I trust they will take care to do it right. They scheduled us pretty quickly and got to work right away at 7 am. Three of them hand dug a 25 ft x 9 ft trench over two days (originally was supposed to be one but they needed a second because of our collapsing soil). They sealed the foundation and took care to replace my window wells, put my Sprinkler lines back, and stack the pavers they had to remove. They were respectful to me and my neighbors and didn't mind me hawking over to see them work every once and a while. We were very pleased with their work would recommend them.
