Craig designed and installed a gorgeous border around my back yard. I am so pleased with the result. He transformed an empty square of nothing into a beautiful space. He also recommended and installed a simple irrigation system for watering the plantings. Craig is easy to work with, creative, respectful of budget, and reliable. I was astonished at how quickly the work was done. I plan to do my yard in phases over more than one year and will continue to work with Craig. Highly recommended!

When guests and neighbors are clicking away photographs of the newly created landscapes in the back and front yards of your house and you hear comments like 'an oasis', 'a paradise', 'it's so calming and comforting', you know it's a job done extremely well and we agree! Worked with Craig's company to reimagine our back and front yards in two phases.
He visited our property multiple times before starting work, listened to what we wanted, gave us honest feedback on what may not work in our property's context and sent us artistic impressions of his visualizations. Once agreed, the execution is lightning fast, flawless and on time. He has a wonderful crew. During execution, Craig does make subtle changes to the original plans and the outcomes are even better.
Once engaged he treated the project as if he was transforming his own property. He went out of his way to get us very mature, rare and beautiful trees. We are extremely happy to get a chance to work with him and his crew. The first discussion we had with Craig convinced us that he was the right professional for our planned work and we did not feel the need to check with other landscaping companies. The transformation of our property is complete and we cannot thank Craig and his crew enough. In the process, Craig, his family and us have become good friends.

Absolutely amazing work by Craig and his talented crew. Over the course of 4 days, Craig and his crew transformed our front, side and back yard. They worked tirelessly, were the ultimate professionals, and were so respectful to the neighborhood. I am so happy with the beautiful and artistic work they did with the landscaping, the lighted walkway of pavers and new front porch. I am so happy. Best decision to go with Craig. Thank you so much!

Craig did an amazing job completely redesigning my backyard into a 5-star resort. He has great vision and 30+ years of experience with allow him to see what will work best in the space. He is truly an artist. Craig designed and built an outdoor kitchen and worked closely with the pool company (that he had recommended) and the concrete company (that he as worked with many times) to seamlessly integrate the beautiful landscaping.
When it came to executing, Craig and his team delivered on time and with with great quality! Craig was excellent to work with - patient, thoughtful and understanding. I believe he approached my backyard as if it were his own and it shows.

When we decided to update our backyard, we met with a few contractors but ultimately kept coming back to Craig's "vision". He gave us exactly what we wanted and more. The crew was professional and finished the job in a week. Craig was on-site every day and answered all of our questions and concerns. Our backyard seems more spacious and I absolutely love the lighting scheme Craig designed. I have sat in my backyard more in the two weeks since the renovation has been completed than I have in the past two years! We definitely recommend using Craig and his team!

Craig came out to our home and created clarity of vision from a few sketchy ideas I had of what I wanted the front yard to look like. The final product exceeded even what I imagined from his drawing! To make the transformation clear, please see the attached two photos of the job on the day it was done along with a before photo for comparison. We are extremely satisfied with the look of the yard now; it feels inviting and a comfortable place to hang out.
Even though our property is a small city property, Craig and his crew treated it and us with a respect and consideration that exceeded the size of the job. They completed this job in 1 day from start to finish (7:30 am - 2:30 pm) and for a reasonable price for all the stone retaining wall and fill work and the flowers, shrubs, and tree we received. It has only grown more beautiful with time as the plants took hold with daily watering! See the attached updated picture from today.

Craig is the perfect landscaper. Now water does not pool in front of my house and seep into my basement THANKS TO CRAIG resolving our water drainage problems. He completely renovated our backyard in 2018, solved water problems there and every year it looks more and more beautiful. It looks stunning. We totally trust him, he's reliable, his workers professional and the job is completed quickly. But it's Craig's artistic ability and TLC that I love most. He told me he loves his work and it really shows.

Landscaping by Craig did an AMAZING job! They went above and beyond and exceeded my expectations. I am completely speechless with the end result and in LOVE with my new front yard. He came in and freelanced the design, his knowledge and expertise did not disappoint. It was a pleasure dealing with Craig and his team. Natasha - North Brunswick

Craig came out to our property and told us his vision for an area that really needed attention in our yard. It wasn't a big job, but he still treated it as if it was. We never used him before but we trusted his knowledge and taste. He and his crew showed up on time at 7:30am and completed the job in a timely manner. They left our yard very neat and the area looks amazing! We will definitely be using his services going forward!

I hired Craig and his team to do a complete rip out and replace of my front yard and back yard. This included new plants and shrubs (and formation of mulch planter beds), all new sod, two fence sections, multiple stone retaining walls, and a number of river stone / boulder accents. Prior to the start of the job, Craig provided a written contract for the project with a detailed, comprehensive listing of all the work to be performed.
The final price was agreed up front with no surprises at the end. The project took about 4 full days of work. Craig was on site for the entire time, which really provided be with a lot of comfort and allowed for me to ask questions / change design elements if needed. The entire team was courteous, professional, very skilled and incredibly hard working.
I am THRILLED with the outcome and truly love the way the property looks. I would recommend Craig and his team without reservation to anyone. This was a large project and the outcome was perfect.
