Landscaping reviews in Edison, New Jersey

I couldn’t be happier with LDS. 14 yrs ago they designed and installed my landscaping and just recently they came out for some enhancement and renovation and once again did a beautiful job! Not only is my landscaping beautiful Bill is great to work with. I highly recommend them for all your landscaping needs.

Disappointed with the experience and quality. Initially we were excited as they did quite a bit of work for our new home. After about a year we noticed some of our patio stones were sinking in areas and dismissed it as settling. Just before our second year since the work was completed, we noticed it got significantly worse and began to hold pools of water. Our top ledge on the stairs also began to pitch back towards the house drawing rain water towards the home. I reached out to Bill to see what could be done. At first he did not respond, but after emailing him again he blamed it on the builder. Settling is expected but not to the point where we have pools of water for days throughout our patio. Bill should have offered a solution as the pavers can be raised and he should have backed his work. He never even came out to look.

Response to owner:
That is very misleading and not true Bill.
I uploaded a photo of my invoices which you signed after receiving the final payment to conclude each project (all marked Paid In Full), along with different renderings you provided which all include a fire pit...
I reached out to you directly so you would have the opportunity to
repair the work. My review was not intended as a “motivation” but a review of my experience working with you.
I'm allowed to leave a review, you shouldn't feel threatened or
that I'm motivating you. My review was strictly on my experience
working with your company but your response reflects your dishonest character.

Bill is great to work with! He and his associates at LDS work quickly and meticulously. I was very picky about the replacement of some shrubs and he worked with me to find good options. He also added landscape lighting and a gravel base for my shed. I will continue to use his services.

The LDS team has been taking care of our property for years. They do weekly maintenance and all the weed control and fertilizing. They have done multiple installation projects- complete front yard scape, new walkway, front porch and stairs. Side yard plantings. A paver / sod project. Fire pit with seating wall. I wouldn’t consider working with anyone else. If we ever had a problem- Bill, Tim, and their crews addressed it immediately. I would highly recommend them for your property needs.

LDS and Bill are fantastic to partner with to do any landscape/patio job. They installed multiple patios at my former and current home. The patio installed at my old house (pic attached) was a major selling point to potential buyers. Bill is super easy to work with and he’s an excellent communicator. Their estimates are right on target and are flexible with any changes you may want to make as the work is being completed. Bill will also present ideas and solutions to make sure you understand all options. If you want to work with true professionals, go with LDS. You will be thrilled with the outcome!!

Bill & the LDS team are the best! We approached Bill with a general idea of what we'd like in our yard after installing a new inground pool and he transformed our backyard beautifully -- everything from new sod installation to pavers and landscaping/mulch along our fence, plus an irrigation system. LDS are professional, courteous, fair and absolute pros. Bill went above and beyond to make sure that we were happy with the final result and was excellent at communicating with us along the way. He had a ton of great ideas and an eye for what would work best in our space. We'll recommend Bill + his team at LDS for anyone looking and will continue to use them in the future.

We have had the pleasure of working with Bill Koehler of Landscape Design Services for over ten years at our home in Sea Bright, New Jersey, and he is far more than a landscaper - he is a visionary.

Bill is an all-purpose, creative, and incredibly reliable outdoor designer. When we designed an in ground pool, Bill handled the entire surrounding transformation; from the landscaping, paving, outdoor gas fire pit, to the sprinklers, landscape lighting, and every finishing touch. His designs are not only beautiful, but highly functional and he is a joy to work with; communicative, collaborative and attentive to every detail.

Beyond large projects, Bill has been our go-to for ongoing upkeep; lawn care, plantings, seasonal maintenance and more. Simply put, if it is outside your home, Bill can take care of it and do it exceptionally well. We would not trust our property with anyone else !!

I highly recommend Bill Koehler!

Bill and his team did an awesome job with my yard and landscaping. LDS leveled, regraded and replanted the grass and it turned out great. The addition of the patio, sprinklers and fence really completed the look of the house at a great price. I plan to use LDS in my future landscaping projects.

I have been using Landscape Design Strategies(LDS) for at least 15 years and never been dissatisfied with any of their services. Their landscaping work is great. My neighbors all said how great the lawn looked in the summer. Over the years they’ve put in new or replaced old bushes and trees. They’ve put in a new retaining wall and pavers for the walkway around the house. All the work was great. The owner, Bill, is great to work with and the work crew is terrific. They also do my snow removal and I can’t tell you how grateful I was for the job they did after the blizzard.
I recommend LDS for landscape work and snow removal.

I cannot say enough good things about Landscape Design Strategies, LDS! When I bought my house last year, I reached out to LDS for a number of projects and services, and we are extremely happy with everything. Started with Removing Ivy From the front lawn and even a dying tree and leveling off the front of the property and installing a beautiful wall. The wall came out beautifully in front that i replaced the entire retaining wall down the side of my property to match. Bill’s Suggestion of adding low-voltage lighting along the wall, made it even better. I get so many compliments, but my neighbors and people walking by .

Extremely happy with the way everything came out. In addition to the wall, LDS Install a new sprinkler system throughout the property, which Made out of lawn the envy of the Neighborhood.

To keep everything looking great we also use LDS for lawn care, fertilization, weed removal and complete maintenance. As well as fall cleanup, and leave removal.

I highly recommend Landscape Design Strategies, From lawn care, cleanup, sprinkler systems, or construction projects. We will be using LDS on future projects And are excited For seeing what Bill And the entire LDS teams vision is for phase two of our plan.

Perfect. Period.

Great work at a great price.

Awesome work, I just love the tiki bar and seating they built! Spend my nights out by the pool

Owner is very hands on which is rare these days. Work is always meticulous, definitely will be using them again.

An Absolutely horrible experience. The owner treats you as a "paycheck" not a "person". The customer service along with the price was nothing short of terrible. With this being said I would advice anyone in the Edison or middlesex county area to pick any other landscaping company besides this one.

Terrible service. They were servicing our town house community and none of the services were done on time. Mulching and trimming was done at the end of the summer season last year. Every time had to be reminded for what is due inspite of taking their Platinum package. This year in the middle of the season they just stopped coming and broke the contract in the middle. Highly highly unreliable and unprofessional guys. Stay away from them.

Great landscapers

This company never picks up the call. I don’t know how they are operating if they don’t want to talk to customer.
