Homeowner Experiences with CLC Landscape Design
Our clients are at the center of every outdoor transformation. Here’s what homeowners across are saying about their experience with us.
“CLC did a fantastic job start to finish – they submitted a detailed, competent landscape design – they were very informative and open to questions, changes and suggestions – once the contract was signed they stayed on schedule – the work was done in a professional manner – this was a complete re-landscape of the entire property – the site was never left in disarray and no collateral damage (sprinklers, landscape lighting etc) was done during the work – the site supervisor and all the workers were top shelf – the work was completed on budget.”

“We are thrilled over the outcome of our backyard project. We have received so many compliments already and look forward to many years of enjoyment. Our compliments to your whole crew including John, Ariel, Rudy, Jorge, but most especially to Rob. His attention to detail and amazing patience and kind, easy-going manner was greatly appreciated. Thank you again and please feel free to use us as a reference any time.”

“You feel like an old friend and we think of you whenever we sit in our glorious backyard. The colors and flowers and lushness (and it’s only the first full year) are just a wonder how you blended them all together and the overall design is nothing short of spectacular. The picture looks great – it reflects reality. You can come whenever you wish.”

“We have spent the last couple months simply LOVING how you made our yard look. I love everything you put in – the colors, the planting design…everything. Thank you again for accommodating our wedding schedule.Thanks again…for everything!”

“For the better part of this year CLC was working on our landscaping. We want you to know how pleased we are with all the work. Without actually knowing anyone who had used your company, we took a leap of faith. Our instincts proved correct. The outside of our house has been transformed from one with no curb appeal to one that is the best looking on the street. The many compliments we continue to receive substantiate this. The new steps, plantings, lighting and driveway are not only beautiful, but functional as well. Everyone on the project took time to resolve our water problem, which is now much improved. Now that the hard-scape and some of the plantings are complete in the back, we use every opportunity to be out there. We are enjoying the waterfall and the pond. Most importantly, what we like best about CLC is the attention to details, the phone calls that are always returned promptly, and the communication between all of you, so that everyone involved in the project knew what needed to be done. Finally, we want to thank you for sending us Roberto, who, with his skill, talent and eye for detail made our house so beautiful.”

“We wanted to write to tell you how pleased we are with the work done by CLC this past year to re-landscape our property. We are most appreciative of the efforts of everyone who helped to transform our yard into such a lovely environment. Special thanks to you and your architect team for your efforts in designing a plan that met our needs, especially given the restrictions of the site. Also, we could not have been happier with the work done by Ty in developing the rock walls and the excellent job done by the mason who put in the Belgian block curb. We particularly want to commend John for his work in creating a beautiful front walkway and back patio as well as his care in placing all of our plantings for optimal effect. He was always interested in our input and most pleasant to deal with. Every person who worked on this project was most professional and the end result is a yard we are sure to enjoy for many years to come.”

“We find ourselves writing to you again about the experience we had with CLC. It has been three years since our last encounter with your firm and it was again a sincere pleasure working with you. Tim started with a rendering and turned it into a beautiful outdoor patio that we will enjoy for a lifetime. What we enjoyed most about working with Tim was the face that he was very available to us, gave us his cell phone number and worked within our budget. He was there every step of the way from beginning to end and thereafter. He is a very talented young man who is extremely friendly and personable. We must also commend the fine crew you send to work on our project. Rob, Kyle, Rudy and Israel were always on time, very neat and also very talented. The project was completed on time and far exceeded any expectations we could have imagined. We know that there are many landscapers in our area that we could have gotten to do our patio, but we keep coming back to CLC because of the quality of the work and the excellent customer service. We hope that in the future our paths will cross again, but until then, hats off to you, Tim and your crew.”

“We are thrilled with the results and hope you’ll pass along our special thanks to Kyle and Izzy for the terrific job they did. I hope you don’t mind traveling down our way for work because we’ll certainly be passing along your info to anyone looking for a great landscape design company! We’re already getting tons of compliments from guests to our new patio. Thanks again for everything and I hope we’ll have the opportunity to work with you and your team again very soon.”

“We cannot find enough wonderful things to say about CLC Landscape Design! You have just completed an incredible overhaul of our backyard, and we could not be happier. From our first meeting with you and Frank, and the way that you listened so closely to what we wanted and what we were saying, and then came back to us with plans which were beyond our dreams! We knew then that we had chosen wisely. The foreman for our project, Kyle, was outstanding! We never realized that it took artistry to do the type of work he does until we saw him work. Kyle can do with rock and earth and plantings what other artists do with paint and canvas. It was amazing to see his impeccable touch while working with a bulldozer! Every rock in our stone walls was placed just so, so that to the naked eye it seems almost by nature, but we know it was Kyle’s keen eye behind each placement. Kyle was never late, always consistent, polite and communicative, and so very patient with our questions. It was a joy to work with him and his amicable assistant Izzy. We trust they both will be rewarded sufficiently.
Every subcontractor that you used for our large project was A-list in their quality, cooperation and professionalism. From the in-ground pool by Ramapo Valley Pools to the fence by Jan Fence to the incredible deck by Kenny Ochs, all were done to a level of quality that would be hard to surpass by anyone. Also, the plantings that Frank and you selected for our property are incredible, and they are all thriving and growing well in their new home. Finally, we must commend you for the amazing job you did in keeping control of everything, in keeping the project moving, and for your incredible and unwavering commitment to quality. You are a joy to work with, endlessly patient with us, handling our changes as they came along and always keeping us informed. Knowing that we will live with the results of this project for many years, we are so grateful that we chose to go with a high quality organization like CLC! Please feel free to use this letter in any advertisements.”

“I just wanted to drop you a note and say thank you for the beautiful job CLC did landscaping our front yard. The design turned out even better than I had imagined. The walls are spectacular and really compliment the lines of our house. It was a pleasure working with Tim. He was sincere, honest, professional and delivered on everything he promised. I found him to be articulate, yet flexible, designing and executing the job as though it were his own property. Tim was willing to help with even the smallest details and offered direction and advice whenever we needed him. He also taught us a lot about the different plantings and his input was invaluable. John and his crew were great guys, very knowledgeable and helpful at every turn. I was particularly impressed the day they continued to work in spite of the driving rain! It was obvious to us that they take great pride in their work. At the end of their day, they always cleaned up and left the place immaculate. My daughter Ashley would also like to thank Tim and his team for diligently working to complete the sidewalk in time for her prom pictures! We have received several compliments on the job and will definitely recommend Tim and his team (as a matter of fact, we already have!). Please feel free to use us as a reference.”

“Just wanted to let you know how much we are enjoying our new look. We are extremely pleased with our landscaping and the retaining walls are beautiful. Most of the neighborhood has been dropping by to check it out and everyone agrees that it looks terrific. We can’t say enough about our project team of John, Chris and Israel; they were great. John was absolutely the best to work with and was a true professional in every sense of the word. We could always trust his knowledge, skill and insight. All along we were looking for a professional job from start to finish and your team certainly delivered. It’s been a genuine pleasure and we’re looking forward to our next project in the near future. Thanks again.”

Our stone wall is more majestic than I imagined and the plantings are beautiful. The pavers, rocks, and grass add so much to our property. Brian was so easy to work with and offered many good suggestions to keep within our budget. Eric is a true artisan who knows just what touches are needed to create an outstanding landscape.

“Stan and I would like to thank you and you team for our beautiful patio and the landscaping of our garden. It is absolutely fantastic. I go outside every morning before work to admire it and we’re both outside in the evening. I appreciate all of the effort, attention, and care that were devoted to both projects – especially during one of the hottest weeks of the year! It was a pleasure to work with them. I would like to ask you to maintain our landscaped area and do whatever is recommended to keep it growing and looking beautiful. Thank you again from both of us.”

“We recently completed a landscape project and had the pleasure of working with Ty of CLC Landscape Design on the implementation phase of a landscape project. Specifically, our project involved re-design of existing front, back and side beds to include new plantings as well as transplanted shrubs from various point in the yard. We also re-designed a walkway to create a softer garden-like atmosphere. Ty did a wonderful job incorporating out vision with his keen sense of plant placement and design/layout. He was infinitely patient as we changed our minds and tweaked the location of the plants within the beds. As implementation unfolded, he made several suggestions that enhanced the project even further than the original design. Customer service was clearly at the top of Ty’s list! We are happy to recommend Ty and CLC Landscape Design without reservations.”

EXCELLENT Based on 234 reviews Biagio IJune 9, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. CLC helped re-design all the flower beds around our entire home. From initial design to completion, Eric and team were outstanding. Communication was excellent - as they were always responsive and made sure we were happy with every aspect of the project. Everything was done professionally and the results are beautiful - I highly recommend giving them a call if you are looking for a landscape design company. Steve VJune 9, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with CLC was the absolute best experience we’ve ever had with a contactor. Everyone we interacted with on the job was fantastic (special shout out to Gary and Shannon). They took great care to do things the right way at every stage. Early on in the design phase, we did not see eye to eye with our designer and when we raised this, the owner stepped in to ensure things got back on track. This level of engagement to make sure the customer was satisfied happened at every stage. While we were a relatively small project for such a big company, CLC always treated us with top tier service. Our yard is transformed and even better than we had hoped for at the start of the project. We very much look forward to enjoying it for many years to come and would wholeheartedly recommend CLC to anyone. ChristaJune 7, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Eric is the man! Our yard looks amazing. Vida CJune 6, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. CLC turned by small backyard into a floral oasis. I am very excited to open my yard and home to friends as they executed my vision perfectly! From the patio work to the material choices, everything was done thoughtfully and with "real-time" living and entertaining in mind. Eric's design was approachable and workable for my budget. Gary, Jamie and crew worked rain or shine to meet our agreed deadline. Overall, top knotch! Lauren KJune 4, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. INCREDIBLE!!! They took their time, executed perfectly, and everything looks absolute perfection! They helped me with every detail across the board. Their expertise, knowledge is unlike anyone else out there. I am a forever customer! They took so much off my plate and they genuinely love their job! 10/10! Wilmary SMay 30, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are so happy we are with how our project turned out. Exceptional quality and service. The team was truly fantastic! I can be very meticulous, and throughout the process, Gary, Robert, and Leo were nothing but professional, positive, accommodating, and incredibly attentive to every detail. Gary was a true partner from start to finish, always available, thoughtful, and on top of every detail. Robert really understood my vision, executed beautifully, and handled all my (many!) questions with patience and grace. Leo and his team were consistently positive and hardworking. They were all wonderful and really fun to work with. Raymond LMay 22, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
