We've worked with Mark and his team on two different projects. The first was a complete reconstruction of the old drain system in our yard and the addition of a better drainage and piping. Our basement had flooded and we were desperate. We got a few quotes for proposed "fixes" and Mark was the most knowledgeable and reasonably priced for the proposed work.
It's been over a year, and our basement has remained dry. More recently we called him again for the replacement of steps to our basement door, additional of a small stone area for wood storage, and a retaining wall. He worked with us to create exactly what we wanted, while staying within our budget. The final project looks great, and we've had friends and neighbors inquire about who we hired.
Mark has always been responsive to our questions and changes along the way. It's refreshing to work with someone that helps you figure out what will work for your home, both to protect it and make it look great, and not be pressured into buying the "best" products, or biting off more than we can chew financially. We look forward to working with him on more projects int he future.

I have been working with Mark and his staff for 10 years. Masseo has performed a number of different landscaping projects including tree planting, tree removal, construction of a raised bed garden, and renovation of our front entry. The staff and crews are smart, friendly, hard working and reliable. The company gives back to New Paltz and the surrounding area, volunteering time and materials for community projects and sponsoring local events. We are really fortunate to have Masseo Landscape here in the Hudson Valley.

Masseo Landscape Inc. has just finished up a ton of work at our home this week and my husband and I are more than satisfied! Our home now feels complete and looks absolutely amazing. Mark Masseo and his team have recently completed a full retaining wall with stairs, regrading our entire driveway while adding concrete drains to assist with drainage problems, re-designed and created a gorgeous new walkway leading from our driveway to our front porch, and fully landscaped and planted various perennials and trees to enhance our overall landscape.
From the moment of our first consultation, to the finished product has been nothing but smooth and seamless. Masseo and his crew were the most cost-efficient, professional, well-educated, hard-working, friendly, and most of all, respectful team of people we have ever dealt with. Mark Masseo was overly compassionate with our needs and wants with this project, was easy to work with, and made sure to deliver the best results possible.
His team worked through the blistering heat we have been experiencing these past couple of weeks and never even slowed down. To me, that shows some serious dedication to their work and passion for what they do. We would highly recommend Masseo Landscape Inc. to anyone that is looking to enhance and/or restructure their landscape. Their expertise, wealth of knowledge and professionalism was superb, not to mention, the results are breathtaking. Thank you so much! Sincerely, Kacie and Scott Fisher New Paltz, NY

Masseo Landscape have done more than one project for me. We built a house 3 years ago and Masseo Landscape did all of the excavating. Mark and his staff were incredibly helpful and professional during a very high stress time. They took very good care of us & did a stand up job. Our second project was needing a little more excavation & holes dug for our deck. Again, Mark handled everything with ease & professionalism. He had great advice and we really appreciated that he dealt with it all while we were away! Thank you, Masseo Landscape

A Masseo employee informed me when she arrived at my house, but not beforehand, that there would be a $100 "consulting fee" for the two minutes it took her to drive from the nursery to my house down the road, plus the 10 minutes she spent looking at the land where I wanted trees planted. She assured me it would be deducted from the total cost of the trees. However, I discovered after her visit that I couldn't plant trees where I had intended to because well lines run underneath the ground there.
I considered canceling the check, but had the courtesy to contact the employee and leave a message asking her if the fee would be reduced or eliminated under the circumstances and given that I had previously bought $3,000 worth of trees from Masseo. Instead of getting back to me, she cashed the check early the next day. Although the trees I got from Masseo two years ago are great, I was dissatisfied with some aspects of Mark Masseo's professionalism, or lack thereof.
He treated me with disrespect that smacked of sexism and informed me that when customers are too demanding, he fires them. My only demand at that point was to see if he could get me on his schedule for installing a fence around my yard. I ended up having someone else do it. I had decided not to use Masseo again, but after discovering his prices for the trees I wanted were literally half as much as those of Augustine Nursery, I relented.
Now I realize how right my original impulse was. What a shyster. Addendum: Mark Masseo just called me and talked over me, telling me how he and I were not going to do business again because I am a troublemaker until I shouted, "Don't you dare speak to me like that! I am the client!" For sure, this guy is a sexist jerk -- I really don't know what other excuse there could be for the way he thought he could talk to me.
He said the consulting fee was for giving me "horticultural knowledge" -- haha! What bullshit. Here is the "knowledge" I received: I asked if Thuja green giants were the best tree to plant in the space for a privacy hedge, and the Masseo employee said yes. Then I asked her what type of arborvitae Masseo had planted in my yard two years ago, and she said she didn't know and wasn't sure how to find out.

We needed a retaining wall to prevent erosion and increase the usable space around our garage. It was a big job in a difficult, confined space but Mark Masseo and his crew did a great job. They were polite and professional, mindful of the neighbors along our shared driveway and always left the job site safe and tidy when they left for the day. Mark is very hands on and was always available when we had questions…every time I called I got Mark, not his voicemail. He even took the time to explain the work to our neighbors so that everyone felt great about the project, not just us.
