I bought a tree here and the staff were very helpful in loading it up for me and wrapping it to protect it from the wind, as well as telling me how to plant and care for it so it would grow well in my yard. They told me their plants are grown locally so they have a better chance of doing well in this area (rather than being imported from other facilities around the country)

Did a great job in delivering firewood in a very timely manner and stacking it neatly on our pallets.

This company used to be reputable. They do great work if they actually bother to show up. Unfortunately, the owner has been overbooking, and as a result defaulting on jobs. Even when I reserved my place in line for spring work the *previous November*, they did not get the work done by mid-June and just stopped showing up. In short: as of 2019, they are extremely unreliable. Do not hire, because even if you hire them, they won't show up.

Great quality plants and guidance. Professional services also available, but they have supplies for do-it-yourselfers. Not the cheapest place in town, but wonderful selection and healthy plants.

Inspiring and unique landscape designs, attentive customer service and perfectly finished work that exceeds expectations every time! It is always a pleasure to work with David Fernandez and his creative team at Cayuga Landscape, who have completely transformed our surroundings to be aesthetically pleasing, safe and well lit, and whimsical and enjoyable for our family and friends.

A lush, deer resistant, and low maintenance landscape strategy is possible even in our climate, with the expertise and caring work of the highly skilled team at Cayuga Landscape.

This local gem creates one-of-a-kind, sustainable landscapes based on their beautiful aesthetic sense, broad knowledge base, and decades of experience in our climate. There may be times when they are in high demand and one may need to be patient (for example, through Cornell graduation season), but as with many of the best services in Ithaca, they're worth the wait!

Dave and his team are really great. Excellent suggestions, great quality of plants. Pricing is very fair. I have used them exclusively to landscape around my home and farm.

I phoned to ask about topsoil delivery that we need as soon as possible. No one was in the Garden Center so the woman who had answered the phone said she would transfer me to the manager's voice mail and "he will get in touch with you." I asked when he might get in touch (because if not today, we need not bother leaving a message). Her response was a very rude "Sometime" and then she hung up.

My experience with Cayuga Landscape Company has not been good and I'm hoping it will end soon. It started last year when I called to hire them to seed part of the lawn, put in a new garden and refresh another garden. The landscape architect told me many times that they did not need my business and at one point admitted he had forgotten me (should've taken that as a hint, right?).

He was having some health issues but good ideas initially so we moved ahead, slowly. When I would call with concerns about the progress of the job I would be put through to that same person and finally they moved ahead with the actual work. It seemed rushed, but the lawn looked okay and the new garden was nice. The garden that I wanted refreshed was just wrong - the wrong plan, the wrong plants (and it turned out actually the wrong garden, someone got what I wanted and I got what he wanted). Okay, so there was a problem and I called them to try to address it.

I got excuses, guilt (because the landscape architect did truly have serious health issues) and a promise that they have a 1 year guarantee so I could call if there were issues this year. There are (the grass is patchy, most of the plants they put in one of the gardens did not come back) and I have called them. Over three weeks later (14 months from the start of everything) I am still waiting for a call back. So, don't bother to call them - they don't need your business, they don't do a good job and they don't honor their guarantee.

We hired Cayuga Landscaping to do a design for our the house we just purchased in Ithaca. It was down hill from there. It took a couple of weeks to just here from them. It took several weeks to have them come out and see the property. A few more weeks to do the design and then they didn't really even incorporate what we wanted in the design, We asked for some changes and to look at other options and they disappeared never to be heard from again.

No returned calls - no nothing. Very unprofessional. The good part is that it did not cost us anything even though we were suppose to pay for the design. They pretty much were not interested in our business.
