Al's Landscaping & Nursery - Newington, Connecticut

John O.

After 20 years in our home, we decided our landscaping needed a total makeover. In addition, we had other recurring issues that had to be addressed. We had the good fortune to call Al at Al’s Landscaping and Nursery. Al came out to see what we had in mind and came back with a complete plan to address all our needs and to add some much-needed enhancements. Al totally redesigned our planting beds, provided plans to replace our sinking paver walk and to replace a failing retaining wall in the back of our property, and he suggested the installation of a new paver walk around the side of the house to the back. Before starting work Al met with us several times and together, we refined the plans before the start of the work. And then Robert and his crew began the work and did an outstanding job in every way. They were meticulous in all aspects of the project. They arrived on time every day, they worked hard all day long, they took pride in their work and had one goal in mind, and that was to make sure we were a totally satisfied customer. They replaced a failing retaining wall in the back of our yard and they regraded and replaced all our planting beds. The new paver walk came out beautiful as did the new walk to the back of our house. The new shrubbery Al suggested looks absolutely beautiful. So once complete it was sad to see Robert and his crew move on to their next job. We looked forward to their arrival every day and to see them work their magic. In the end they clearly met their goal to leave us as a totally satisfied customer. Their work was exceptional and we were thrilled with the outcome. In the end they exceeded our expectations. Bravo Al, Robert, and your crew!!!

The previous owner of my house created a landscaping circle in the center of the yard, so it never felt like we had a full front yard.

Al moved it to the property corner and put a row of arborvitaes along the property line. Fantastic experience!

Robert and his team are exceptional! I recently hired Al’s Landscaping to redo the garden beds around my house. The level of customer service I received is unparalleled… Right from the start, Robert took the time to walk their nursery yard with me to get to know my likes/dislikes (the quality and selection is impressive by the way) and to understand my goals for the project … through the entire design process to create a plan that not only worked for the space but stayed on budget … to scheduling the work, job completion and clean-up … no detail was missed. It is obvious they take immense pride in their work. Professional and easy to work with. Clear communication from start to finish. Extremely happy with the results and highly recommend Al’s Landscaping.

Al and his team are exceptional! We recently hired Al’s Landscaping to redo our landscaping around our house. The level of customer service we received was remarkable. From the start, Al took the time to create a plan, remove our overgrown shrubs, and design a whole new look. We walked their nursery yard to pick the plants, schedule the work to the completion. Al is extremely knowledgeable, a true professional and easy to work with.
Our yard looks absolutely beautiful!! We are extremely happy with the results and highly recommend Al’s Landscaping.

So glad we came across Al’s Landscaping. From beginning to end it was a pleasure to work with David who designed our backyard landscape along with Rob who was instrumental in creating a solution to our water issues surrounding the poolscape. It was a challenging project to say the least but they were more then happy to help so we wouldn’t have to worry about future water issues. David was always responsive to my questions and thoughts and we couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. It’s become our own backyard oasis and look forward to creating a new front landscape design in the near future.

I called Al's based on Google reviews and it's one of the BEST decisions we could have made. Robert came out and listened to what I wanted and proceeded to ask me questions. He pointed out that what I was thinking probably wouldn't be the best long term idea. I wanted a dry creek bed to help with water flow that we get when it rains heavy or a lot (pinterest always seems to make it look easy & picture perfect) ... Robert took the time to explain that it wouldn't actually be the most helpful or fix the overall issue. He presented a solid explanation of what we could do to address the water in the yard issue and how it would work. Although the work wouldn't provide the most beautiful place for me to sit & look at, it has been hands down the best advice for my property since we moved in 14 years ago. We just had almost 10" of rain in less than 48 hours and yes, there was water and it looked like it may not go anywhere, but the next day after the rain stopped my yard was wet, but wasn't soggy or muddy or a big mess. What Robert and his crew did worked like a charm! I couldn't be happier and after all the rain it had washed some of the newly placed seed and hay away and Robert was quick to assure me they'd touch it up and fix it, within 24 hours it had been taken care of! Customer service that I've not experienced in some time, knowledgeable and the questions that I was asked in order to make sure quality work was delivered... fantastic! I cannot wait to call for more work to be done next spring! HIGHLY recommend!!

We had our origional front garden removed and replaced. The crews worked incredibly hard for 3 days, they were terrific guys and answered all my many questions with great patience. If someone didn't have the answer they brought me to the person who did. As this was "my first rodeo" I had many, many questions and hesitancies during the planning process. I am very happy with the end result and grateful to Al's Landscaping & Nursery. Thanks Al & Rob
