I contacted several landscapers and decided to go with CLC Landscape Design based on the service levels initially provided by Eric and Rich Sr. They were both very attentive and responsive. When the work started, I was in contact with Rich Jr. and Rob and the experience continued to be great. Rob was absolutely amazing, extremely nice, ALWAYS available to talk, very supportive and walked me through every step of the way. Rob was not pushy and made the entire process very comfortable.

The team that arrived to work was very professional, showed up on time, very considerate of the surroundings and the work was completed to my satisfaction on time as promised. I really appreciate the work that CLC Landscape Design did and will be happy to use them again.

After meeting several different companies, we decided to work with CLC Design to re-do our backyard. Our project involved replacing and extending our backyard patio, walkway, overhaul on the plantings and adding a pavilion and mini-kitchen. It was evident from our initial meeting the team was professional, knowledgeable and passionate about their work.

They provided 2 amazing designs for us to choose from, while respecting our budget. They met with us to understand our needs and were able to guide us to not only get us the most value for our money, but what is ultimately the perfect backyard! The crew was always on-time and always ensured clear communication through any delay or issue along the way.

The entire team that worked on our project was phenomenal - Rich jr., Eric, and the most amazing project manager ever - Gary! The crew that worked tirelessly through the summer to get the project completed on-time was very respectful, clean, and always professional. I loved their work so much we asked them to work on our front yard as well! I would highly recommend CLC Landscape Design for any project - big or small!

We had CLC design and landscape the front of the house. It looks beautiful! Nick, Andrew, Daniel and their whole team were always on time, very responsive and professional. They really listened to all the ideas, requests and suggestions we had. Our front yard looks amazing! We would definitely recommend CLC. They do a fantastic job! Now on to the next project.pool and backyard in the spring. Can't wait for it all to be done!

I am more than happy with the work CLC did for my front yard landscape. I moved into this home about 2 years ago and the front landscape has always been an eye sore and could have use way more curb appeal. I found CLC online and chose them because of their fantastic reviews. I was not disappointed at all. Nick, Daniel, and Andrew did an amazing job.

They were professional and easy to work with, they addressed all over our concerns. I will be using them again! We will enjoy this landscape in the years to come as the plants mature! Thanks guys!

CLC recently completed a total revamp of our backyard to include a pool and outdoor living space. Our property was rather challenging with wetland boundaries, endangered wildlife concerns, odd property lines and limited space. Even after several other companies had turned us down on account of complexity, CLC handled the project with ease from start to finish. Eric was confident from the beginning that CLC could make our vision happen and made the initial steps easy and welcoming. Andrew addressed all the challenges and furnished a completed design plan that gave no indication of any limitations.

We can't praise Alex enough as he was incredibly attentive to detail, managed the daily execution of the project and made this entire process stress free. His suggestions were always spot on and he never left any question unanswered. We trusted his expertise and guidance fully. The crew was extremely professional, neat and experienced. The project was finished much earlier than we had anticipated and far surpassed our expectations. The only aspect of the project we can take credit for is hiring CLC in the first place. Thank you, CLC!

Thank you CLC Landscape Design for creating such a wonderful backyard and front yard living space. I had special requirements because I wanted to create a habitat for birds with exclusively native plants. Everyone involved was professional and great to work with - from Michael's original plan to Rich Jr's plant / layout recommendations to Kyle's onsite job management.

Special thanks to Gary, the job foreman. He was constantly in touch with me and worked closely with me on the final layout of all the plantings. Even though the job is done, he's still following up with me to make sure I'm happy with everything. I love my new backyard oasis!

CLC was fantastic. Rich (the owner) and the design team worked with us to understand what we wanted and created a master plan for our property. Then Gary and his team did an amazing job of of transforming our yard and surpassing our expectations. Can't say enough great things about Gary and his team. We highly recommend CLC and can't wait to do the next phase of our project!

We couldn't be happier with our new backyard. We love every inch and we got everything on our wishlist. We enjoy our new fire pit area almost every night. The landscape architect Ryan did a great job and was very professional. Our project manager was AMAZING! He checked in every day and even came back for several days after the job was done. The level of care and attention Gary provided even after the job was done was impressive.

He helped me decide on plants that would bring color to our backyard while still being deer resistant. I even got a Magnolia tree which I've always wanted. Can't wait for next spring when all the plants will come to life. I've attached before and after pics though the after does not do it justice.

CLC helped us to transform our backyard into a space that our family can enjoy for years to come. We started with hiring their landscape architecture team to help us create a design concept based on all of our wants and wishes. After falling in love with the design they presented, we hired them to carry out the project. Gary, our project manager, was a pleasure to work with.

He always had our best interests at heart and provided excellent guidance and advice as we needed to make decisions. He took care of coordinating any necessary subcontractors (pool, fence, pavilion, irrigation system) and was always in constant communication with us throughout the entire project. Wilian (the head CLC crew member) and his team arrived promptly every morning and worked tirelessly with care and precision to execute the design plan.

As you can see from the before and after pics, they did an amazing job and we would highly recommend CLC for any landscaping projects. We plan to work with them again in the future

Great job by CLC. They cleaned up our landscaping and flower beds, removed an old shed, playset, and part of a fence, rebuilt broken stone steps, and fixed drainage issues. The layout and selection of plants is better than we expected. Hard-working and friendly crew on-site.

We used CLC many years ago to design and construct our backyard patio and landscape and we couldn't have been happier with the results. All of the plants and trees they used have grown more gorgeous over time and our backyard is like an oasis. This year we hired CLC to come back and work on a riverbed for drainage and some additional plantings in the front and back yards. Carlos, Ben and Andrew did a fantastic job with every aspect of the project--design, execution, clean-up, etc. They are professional, friendly efficient and very hard-working. I highly recommend CLC. Huge thanks to their whole team.

If you're looking for the best, look no further. CLC was a pleasure to work with for an entire transformation of our property. An almost 3 week long project that entailed ripping out an existing aging landscape and starting over again with a beautifully designed one. From start to finish, you knew you were working with a company that separates themselves from the rest.

The crew was hard working, respectful and meticulous, led by the best project manager I've worked with, Nick Rodriguez. What was promised was delivered, without all the hassle you typically deal with on other house projects. We are beyond satisfied and everyone is blown away with how beautiful the project turned out. CLC is a complete landscape design and construction company - you won't have to worry about finding this and that, they will take care of it for you. How it should be.

Can't say enough about Rich the Owner, Nick and the CLC Landscape Design Team. Personable and Professional. First Rate, High Quality Work. We had some home flooding issues out back. The team went ABOVE AND BEYOND to help redo + redirect our drainage and piping and install a new beautiful patio. As an added bonus, they helped do a spring cleanup out back and made it feel less like we were in a jungle jail. Feels like a new home after a full front landscaping makeover.

It came out amazing. We just sit outside and stare in amazement. Nevertheless, I can speak firsthand that CLC has dedicated their resources to help giveback to the community during the peak of the pandemic and into 2021. If you can't decide between CLC and another company for your big landscaping project - go with the charitable firm. Highly recommend CLC! You won't be disappointed. Thank you - Brian

I have had three projects of varying sizes - designed and installed by CLC. I couldn't have been happier with each and would hope Rich, Jr. and his team might be available for a fourth! Always on time for appts, creative, patient, easy to work with, respectful, mindful and accepting of budget restraints, all with a finished product the entire neighborhood (and us) loved.

The crew are hardworking men - again, respectful and eager to accommodate. Rich Jr. is intimately familiar with his design and explains the reason he has selected each bush/tree - color, shape, size and growth rate. In addition to all this, there is an integrity associated with this business - family owned and run - honest and committed to service and beauty. I can't seem to change my location on my google account. All the work done by CLC was in Franklin Lakes and N. Haledon, NJ

This company was advertising aggressively on Facebook so I thought they may need some business during this difficult time. Well, I guess no good deed goes unpunished: I told them I have a small design and install project and was ok if it was too small. I offered to take pics and submit them remotely to save them a trip. They said they were interested but they never followed.

I called 3 times with no callback. If your business is a success and you are busy or my project is too small then I am happy for you, but set that expectation in your advertising or initial call. I will work with those who value my time as much as they value their own.

I spent a lot of time researching landscape designers to overhaul our backyard. After researching and meeting with various designers it was hard not to select CLC. They were incredibly professional and upfront from the start. They provided two thoughtful designs incorporating various elements we desired such as paver patio, fire pit, and water feature.

They are not the cheapest but frankly, you get what you pay for. Alex was our project manager and he was prompt, honest, and executed on time and on budget. The quality of the work CLC and the subcontractors they use is exceptional. Our backyard started as a plain grassed backyard and now it is nothing sort of an oasis. I highly recommend CLC and would only use them on any future needs.

The initial meetings were great, very professional. We paid about $2000 for a landscape design which was very beautiful. We were very excited to execute the plan. After that it was downhill. If your project isn't over $100,000 this company could care less about you. We worked with Alex who continually dropped the ball. He said he would send revisions which were never sent.

We asked questions which were never answered. Still waiting for updated estimate which he was going to send but never did. Their website is great. They appear very professional but don't be deceived. Ask for references.

CLC did a wonderful landscaping job for us! We had no problem getting them to come out to give us a quote -Eric knew exactly what we wanted -it was like we had the same vision for the space being done. The job was completed on time and they cleaned up every spec of dirt -you wouldn't know work was even done in the area. It looks beautiful and we were very happy with the outcome. I would totally recommend them for your landscaping needs.

Well I hate to put anything bad about businesses, but if you can't make to your appointment 2 times, blame on weather which today is perfect sun and no rain, last time was cloudy and just didn't show up, didn't call I had to chase someone down to see if anyone was coming and then tell me that I had to reschedule.? Why I want to waste more time? I can only imagine what its going to be if I hire them.

I am so sorry.my bad review went to the wrong company. I was trying to send a review for CLC in Lewes, DE, not Ringwood, NJ. I do apologize to the owners! (I could not figure out how to get it deleted!)

CLC is a terrific company! Everyone who we worked with were extremely professional, efficient, and diligent. CLC redesigned our landscaping for the perimeter of our porch and front of our house. We were extremely pleased with the gorgeous greenery and additional touches that made the look of our house complete and clean. We highly recommend CLC for any landscaping projects. You will not be disappointed.

Working with CLC was a great experience from start to finish. Rich Jr. and his crew were polite and professional and went above and beyond to give us exactly what we were looking for. Rich was quick to respond to any questions we had via text, email or phone. Prior to starting our work he visited our home for multiple meetings as we refined our vision.

He was available and present throughout the job. He stopped by just yesterday to check on my sod and newly seeded lawn and gave us recommendations for watering. His attention to detail is unparalleled. We are thrilled with our new patio and yard. I highly recommend Rich Jr. and CLC Landscape Design.

Kudos to Brian Walker, Melvin and the rest of the amazing crew from CLC Landscape Design. The entire process, from estimate to completion was stress free. Brian and his crew, were professional, courteous, knowledgeable and a pleasure to deal with. We are so happy with our "new" yard! The shrubs in front of the house were old, overgrown, some had died.

They put in beautiful new shrubs and put our old ones to better use around the back. What a hard working group. I love that we were able to use a local business, and that our entire transaction was a pleasure! Whew!

Our yard has never looked better! We have been through several landscape design companies, but we were never happy with final result. Rich really listened to what we asked for and made it happen. He even made several suggestions that kept the amount we spent on plants/shrubs to a minimum. We are very happy with CLC and recommend them highly!

The family-owned and operated CLC Design in Ringwood, New Jersey has landscaped two of my homes in Ridgewood, New Jersey. I worked with Rich Cording Jr. on both homes, one in 2011 and 2014. Rich is an excellent listener and takes what you envision or want and comes up with a workable plan. He is attentive and professional and his follow up customer service is unsurpassed.

Rich called and came over to my home several times to check on the status of plants (to see if they needed more water, how they were growing, etc). Rich's staff is also extremely knowledgeable and hard working. I LOVE my new landscaping and when I see flowers bloom (even up until the late fall), I always think of Rich and CLC Landscaping for making my gardens beautiful, plentiful and easy to maintain. Would definitely recommend them (and I have to many of my friends in town).

I would highly recommend CLC Landscape Design for any project, large or small. I have been a long-time customer of CLC and have always found them to exceed my expectations. Most recently, CLC completed a patio project in my backyard with outstanding results. Rich, one of the designers, stayed involved in the project from its inception to its completion.

Quickly after our first discussion, Rich was able to put our ideas on paper and incorporate his own original concepts, demonstrating a high level of creativity, experience and skill. We were pleased that CLC was willing to put their signature to paper and agree to terms and price we discussed. A crew began work shortly and completed the project under the estimated time for completion.

I found the workers to be polite and professional. Not only did they leave my backyard in immaculate condition, but the patio they built is absolutely beautiful! Rich's design elements added the perfect complement to the patio my wife and I had always dreamed of! I have worked with other landscape companies who offer a cheaper product and are unwilling to guarantee their work by a contract, but believe me--you get what you pay for. CLC goes the extra mile.the level of skill and quality of their work cannot be touched by their competitors. I highly recommend CLC Landscape Design for any outdoor project!

I really haven't seen any results from this company. They charge a high amount and aren't able to meet any deadlines without multiple reminders. They did get me a green, healthy lawn, but I have yet to see a mention of any plans for a large project we discussed more than 7 months ago.

CLC has just completed a total landscaping of the front of my property. They provided everything promised, efficiently and in beautiful condition. Our job included new, large trees; shrubs; perennials; stone paths; a sprinkler system; and restructuring the driveway. We were asked about our preferences originally, and as the design was tweaked, we were consulted with every slight change.

Once the decisions were made on paper, the entire job was done in under two weeks. From the top down, everyone was considerate and skilled, patiently answering all our questions.

Talks a good game, but when it comes time deliver they come up short. Could not get permits done and did not communicate issues with hitting deadlines.
