I needed a rock refresh in my "tiny backyard". The company came recommended by my lawn maintenance guy, so I decided to give them a try. The owner came and looked at the project and gave me a bid. Because the yard was so small, I wanted it done in 8 hours. The labor charge was $40 per hour. I had the rock company deliver the rock and R&S showed up (rainy day) with two guys ready to work. To my surprise they finished the job in 4.5 hours! Did a lovely job, cost was less then expected. I would hire them again. Gave only (4 stars) because the customer service to include notifications could have been better. Believe I did all of the phone calling and texting to inquire - owner should have been more timely with these things first! Work however, was top notch! read more

R &S is a top notch company. They are very responsive to our calls. They take pride in their work and the employees I have encountered are personable and professional. The office staff are very efficient and friendly. Their service in all aspects is impeccable! Highly recommend! read more

Last year they fixed our back patio. It looks atrocious this summer. They fixed the border and by the edge of the house. They took a lot longer than expected, charged us more and were left with having to redo our whole patio. The sand grout is coming up already in between the pavers. They are uneven and just around terrible. They were supposed to come back to fix something and never responded back to us. Dealt with a lot but not going into detail with customer service etc. I hate writing reviews but if I can save someone from dealing with this, then I will put myself out there and post. I wish we just redid our back patio instead of spending $6,000 on this. read more

R&S Landscaping is an amazing company that values their customers as well as their employees. The quality that they put into their work is outstanding. Every detail counts and they always aim for 100% customer satisfaction. I highly recommend this business to anyone looking for a reliable landscaping company. read more

I had the landscaping done on my house by R&S after a good friend of mine recommended them. They did an amazing job with her house so I called them up and asked for a quote for a job similar to hers. I had a foundation planting done with mulch and a fall clean up. The salesman, Steve, was extremely helpful and professional. I'll definitely be going back to them for springtime. read more

Horrible customer service -- zero effort. In April 2021, they can to our house and promised to perform landscaping and irrigation services. After showing up a couple of times to do normal landscaping our grass started turning brown. We asked when they were going to turn on sprinkler and they told us they were unable to turn it on at any time in 2021- we would need to wait until 2022! Since they were unable to do what they promised, we cancelled. They charged us an unconscionable cancellation fee and refused to any reasonable compromise. Absolutely abysmal customer service. I don't know how they couldn't find a single person to come to our house for an extra hour to turn on sprinkler anytime in 2021. Beyond absurd. Beware of this landscaper. read more

I had contracted R&S Landscaping for lawn care and landscape maintenance of my property for a year. Over that year, I had to call on a number of occasions to complain about services rendered. My property had edging already installed into the ground to keep the borders of the lawn and mulching clear and defined. They had removed them without my consent and trashed them. I had not been compensated, and my mulching started washing over to my walk ways and off property. Grass has also started growing over the borders. During their lawn mowing with their tractors, they ran into my privacy fence, putting black stains of their tires into my white fence. They had also ran into my house, making holes into my vinyl siding. Not knowing, I was home, one of their crews took a break in my rear lawn, and their crew members lounged and slept on my lawn. I'm not paying for unprofessional conduct on my property, especially since R&S is priced higher than most of their competition. (I took pictures of them as proof, and confronted them, only to be told that they were on their lunch break. Do not take your lunch break on my lawn.) I also had a single employee enter my rear yard without prior notice. I had no idea why he was there, and upon calling the company, they had no idea why an employee was there either on his own, just looking around. All I know, he was there scoping out if my place was ripe for being burglarized. On all of these incidences, I had called to complain, and late in the season, I was so rudely talked back to for calling a large amount of complaints. I would not have to call so often if I did not have something to complain about. Just for the lawn services plus sprinkler maintenance cost me $5,000 or so bucks. It was one of the worse $5K I've ever spent, robbing me of peace of mind. read more

Did not receive service that we requested. Called owner twice and got back-talk. Won't use them again, and would not recommend. read more

Have used R&S for many years on a back yard "wildlife garden", irrigation system install/maintenance and paver power-washing. Had the rip-out the front yard plantings and replace with new shrubs/plants. Very well thought our selections and incorporated the plants into the architectural features ( stone columns of our front porch) and an existing large holly tree. Personnel are knowledgeable, good communicators and take pride in their work. read more

Someone came out to assess my landscaping needs and write up a quote. I called and spoke with them a couple weeks later and said they were working on it. Still never received call a month later I used someone else already. read more

Came to turn on the sprinkler system, but was not prepared to complete the job. Finally, after waiting 3 weeks for my next appointment to make the repairs and having to take the day off from work, the day finally arrived and they were a no show. I'm extremely disappointed in R&S Landscaping and would not recommend them nor ever use them again. read more

R&S had 2 professionals come to my house to trim trees, and hedges. They were excellent, they asked me specifics, they both were polite, direct and just got to work. They did a fabulous job, crisp edges on the bushes, everything they cut was swept up and removed, and they finished everything in less time than was estimated, so they saved me money too! Great Job! read more

Steve and his crew did a fantastic job renovating our stone walkway and repairing stone steps. Polite, professional, attentive to customer wishes and hard-working -- they are a pleasure to work with. We also do organic lawn care with them -- difficult to find a good company to handle lawn maintenance that will do organic treatments, and they are doing a great job for us. Very pleased with their services. read more

Do not hire this company for your landscaping! They damaged my lawn lights. I sent them pictures and emails but never got a reply. They won't acknowledge the damage. Customer service is very rude. ***Update as of September 3, 2015: Hi Robert, I appreciate your follow-up. I sent you a reply on yelp and to your email with my details but still have not received a response. I am really disappointed with this company. I hope you can stay true to your word that you really intend to address my complaint. I await your response. read more

I moved into my property in Ridgewood, NJ about 4 1/2 years ago. The prior owner left me in great shape inside the home, but the outside needed help and the corner lot on a busy road was more suitable for older children, than our 2 year old and one on the way at the time of initial development. Long story short, we have done two major projects with R&S totaling over $60 K with them and another $13K with their recommended contractors for aspects of a project that they don't do (removing large trees, installing a fence and laying asphalt in our new driveway). The first project was removing four large trees (done by Sean at Jeff Smith Tree service) in our side yard, two of which were just killing our lawn with a steady recipe of shade, moisture, pine needles, and tree sap. After the tree removal, Rob Schucker and his crew installed twenty 6-7 ft arborvitaes to give us privacy from the busy road (3 years later they are easily 11 ft after trimming) and .15 acres of sod to give us a new yard. They also transplanted some shrubs from the front of the house to the back of the house to clear things up and give a more aesthetically pleasing appearance to the front of the house. Rob also suggested planting flowers along the side of the house for seasonal beauty. Listen, Rob always has a "suggestion", sometimes his "suggestions" cost you money, sometimes it is worked into the price, but I've always been happy. Anyway, I went from having a damp, dark, dead pine needley and ivy covered yard to a gorgeous green play space for my now 3 and 5 year old to run around in! He recommended Arba Fence in Garfield, NJ who put a beautiful white picket fence around my entire house (on a corner lot). I was a bit worried about what the neighbors would say even though I had a village permit, but they all love how classy and tasteful it looks and that made me happy because that thing was a pretty penny! The second job started two years later when I called six different contractors to examine my side patio and driveway. I had major flooding and drainage issues, mostly as a result of my neighbor's nifty work on his property (that is another story). Anyway, my driveway and patio were crushing 25 - 30 years old anyway and I had an area of unused space that I wanted to incorporate into the patio. Rob and the other contractors gave me their initial quotes and I decided to hold off another year to save the money needed to do it right. I came back to two contractors including Rob Schucker at R&S this past spring (2015) and although Rob cost more, i went with him. (More on that later). Rob, of course, had more "suggestions", but I have to hand it to the man, he made my property look great and I'm very happy with my brand new "Southern California" patio (my neighbors all love it and that is what they call it). I feel like I have a new home and his driveway guy Bruce Borduin is absolute aces! Rob also put in a seepage tank into my driveway and graded both my patio and driveway with massive drainage pvc pipes underneath. I have not had any drainage issues since Rob and his team finished and that used to be a significant emotional event every time it rained or snowed. So here is the deal with Rob, he is a hard worker! He is hands on with the project. He will be there getting his hands dirty and supervising his guys. One of his "right hand men" named Damien is a hard charging working and assists in supervision. Rob, if you are reading this, your are lucky to have Damien, treat him well and hold on to him! Rob is near the top and sometimes on the top of the price range with the estimates you will get. But lets be fair here, #1 You will NEVER need him to redo his work! #2 His work is guaranteed! If a plant or tree he plants dies, he replaces it, no questions asked! He has done this for me during extreme heat. I've got friends in town who never hear from their landscapers again when things like this happen, but hey, they "got a great deal"! #3 Rob knows Ridgewood, Ridgewood code, etc. You won't run into unexpected delays with him. #4 He communicates with you and listens. #5 Good enough is not good enough with Rob. He is tedious and detail oriented, if you are as well, accept no substitute. Call Rob at R&S! Drs. Nathan Heltzel and Roshni Desai Nathan.Heltzel@gmail.com read more

Most of my block in Wyckoff uses R&S which I why I called them - their property looks fantastic! We have been extremely happy with them, particularly Dominick. He's got great vision and is a pleasure to work with. You can tell her actually cares and takes pride in his work. We have used them for Spring/Fall cleanups, tree removal/plantings, pruning. They are meticulous and extremely hard working. The folks that came for our Spring cleanup this year were at our home for 12 hours straight and not a single twig was left behind. They offer a lot of great services and we find them to be reasonably priced for the high quality of work that they do. read more

Very disappointed with services of the company. Prepaid for sprinkler start up service. Company came in, was not able to finish the service because repairs needed to be done but they had no time to complete the job. Stated they will give me an estimate on repair and will reschedule the start up. Repaired were rescheduled for 3 weeks ahead because of scope of work and time needed to complete since they were busy. Finally arrived to do the repair and turned out leak was deeper then expected and they had to come back to complete the repair and on top of that have to give me another estimate. Mid May my sprinkles are still not on. Very unprofessional and would not recommend... read more

This whole company is a disaster from top to bottom. They didn't do a good job, they charged us for work they never did and when we complained, their response was bizarre and unprofessional. I could go on but I think most of the other reviews on this page tell the story. Don't recommend them for anything. read more

I did a complete landscape renovation of my property with R&S. They did an excellent job with the design and the work was done beautifully to include demolition of old brick patio and walkways and installation of new patio, walkways, beds and plants. I'm very pleased with the results and have had a lot of positive comments. read more

The job was not performed to the standard of what the sales person committed at the time of sale. Some of the trees were not planted straight, the edging was unprofessional until we complained and then they charged us extra for it, the grass they planted was done very sloppily. I was very disappointed with the whole experience and would not recommend them. read more

awful, awful, awful!!! COmpletely unreliable service - from the proposal stage, to negotiations to the actual execution of the landscaping project, I was completely disappointed in the service I received from R&S. It seems as though spending $5,000 on a project does not make you a valid customer in their eyes - I let them know that there's potential for more work all over my property, and still, this company seems disinterested in winning more business or making customers happy. The proposal process took over a month, scheduling the project took an additional three weeks, empty promises were made, and the ultimate execution of the project was really disappointing. Ive spent so much time and energy dealing with this company, that I can't even have them fix what they did. Please stay away --- there are so many landscapers in the area. go with someone else and avoid throwing your money away on R&S and feeling completely cheated! HORRIBLE service. read more

My back yard was a muddy mess and R&S was hired to redesign and improve it. Over the course of two days the crew cleared out and dug up the whole yard area, put down fresh topsoil, planted shrubs, trees and flowers, mulched around everything, and laid the stone. There were a couple of design changes that happened on the fly due to availability of certain plants and finding out we didn't have quite as much room as we wanted for everything. I had asked for an English cottage-garden style that would also incorporate a lot of plantings for butterflies, birds and bees. I was very pleased with the design and the execution. The designer was on site both days supervising the work crew and was pleasant and easy to work with and extremely flexible with my needs. A few weeks after the work was completed, I found aphids on some of the plants (must have come from the nursery). The owner of the company himself came out and treated the plants at no additional cost. About two months after the planting, a couple of the flowering plants died despite my following the after care instructions carefully. . The designer came out with replacements again at no charge (the replacements survived and thrived). One year later, all of the plantings have matured, everything has filled in beautifully. I have added a few small touches here and there as the garden has evolved. My neighbors are constantly stopping by to complement the garden. Overall very happy with the service. read more
