Reviews of local pros in Edison, New Jersey

I recently hired Bolesta Lanscaping to install stones and boarders around my property and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the initial estimate to the end of the project the team was outstanding.
Even after I added extra work to my project that wasn’t in my original quote he kept my cost affordable.
They took the time to understand my vision and did everything flawlessly. Stephen and his crew was respectful of my property, finished the project on time and meticulously cleaning up.
I highly recommend Stephen and his crew.

I couldn’t be happier with the hardscape project completed by Bolesta Landscaping! The entire process was smooth and efficient. Stephen, the owner, was incredibly responsive from the start, providing a fair and detailed estimate and staying in regular communication throughout. He was on-site multiple times a day, ensuring everything ran smoothly.
Eduardo and his crew went above and beyond with their exceptional work ethic. They started early each morning and often stayed late, paying meticulous attention to every detail. Their dedication and pride in their work truly showed, resulting in a stunning transformation. They completed a set of stairs, a walkway, patio, sitting wall, and retaining wall - all beautifully done!
Stephen also brought great ideas to the table but was never pushy, making it easy to discuss options and find the best solutions for the project. Michelle was incredibly helpful and supportive from the beginning, making the entire process seamless. The team finished on time and worked around my schedule, which I appreciated.
I highly recommend Bolesta Landscaping!

We had a great experience working with Balesta Landscaping. Stephen Balesta was extremely responsive and personally on-site multiple times a day to make sure everything was on track. His crew was professional, detail-oriented, and consistently showed up early, worked hard, and took real pride in their work.

They helped us completely level our backyard, tighten up our walkways, and built a beautiful retaining wall that transformed the space. The quality of their work and care they put into the project were outstanding.

I’d highly recommend Balesta Landscaping to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality landscaping work.

I can’t say enough good things about the work Bolesta’s team did for us. We had our front landscaping/walkway redone and added a paver patio and gazebo to our backyard. It came out better than we could have imagined! Stephen was responsive, gave great ideas, and was reasonably priced.

We used Bolesta Landscaping for a large project this summer which included a new patio, front landscaping, Belgian block curbing, irrigation and general beautification. The results and experience were fantastic! From the initial conversations with Stephen (the owner) and Michelle we knew we had found the right company. They were thoroughly professional and took the time to have several meetings with us to provide advice and answer all of our questions. Quotes and follow-ups were always timely. When the project started, the crew that came out was very diligent, careful and did an amazing job. Stephen was always there to supervise and make sure things were on track. I really liked the fact that he and Michelle would check in frequently with us and make sure we were completely satisfied with the work. And we are very happy with the results. An A+ job.

Steve, Michelle and the team were great to work with. Steve took the time to discuss the project in person, brainstorm a number of possibilities, and work with us to give our patio a bold new makeover! We are thrilled with the outcome, and if we need more landscaping projects, Bolesta will be our first choice.

Bolesta Landscaping did a fantastic job with various jobs for us. They turned an overgrown mess into a clean and tidy landscape while also cleaning up trees and hedges around our property. Stephen has a great eye for areas around the property that could use some work and makes good suggestions without being pushy. We’re very happy with him and his team’s work and will certainly be calling again in the future for any other projects!

Hired them for a cleanup and they did an excellent job. Cleaned more than any landscaper I've had in the past.

Beautiful patio for my social gatherings that also was wonderful for basketball and pickleball events. A perfect blend of design and functionality.

Did great work on our patio - done in a timely fashion, cleaned up the site, and the results look great

Bill and his crew are very professional. All of his plants and shrubs are of top quality. Highly recommended.

Great service and great business. Extremely reliable and couldn't be happier with the work. Highly recommended!!!!

Bill and his team did an outstanding job remodeling our patio to make our backyard a great place to host friends and family. Highly recommended.

Project went very smoothly, Bill patiently answered all my questions and guided us through the process. I love my new plants and the house looks great!

Great job. They removed all the old bushes & growth and cleaned it all up. Then they strategically put new plants in that look perfect and mulched the whole area.

LDS has been maintaining my property for over 15 years. Cutting, fertilizing, sprinklers, planting...They do it all and always returns my calls promptly. Fantastic!!!

The company was referred to me by a friend, which I mentioned to Bill on the phone. Bill came out to the property and was really nice and professional at initial meeting, as well as on the phone prior. Was told Id receive the estimate in a few days. Ok great. A few days went by, and No estimate. I reached out to follow up. Bill said Id receive the estimate by Monday (an entire week after he came out to the property). Monday came and went and still no estimate. Never received the estimate at all. Strange.

We’ve used LDS for several home improvement projects and couldn’t be happier! They are fair, reliable and FAST. Their attention to detail is impeccable. Thank you Bill and team we will see you again in 2023!

Bill and his team have been cutting my grass for years. Recently we asked him to come up with some ideas to transform the landscape of our property. Bill had some amazing ideas which he implemented over the course of a couple of weeks. The end product was amazing and far beyond our expectations. I highly recommend LDS!

I just finished a job using LDS, and can't say enough about both the process and the outcome. This wasn't a small project, and involved plants, irrigation, lighting, sod, mulch and design work. Bill and his crew started early and worked late every day. They were communicative, creative, clean and dependable. LDS knows their stuff, are passionate about what they do and take pride in both their work. A+ experience.

I recently hired Landscape Design Strategies to clean up and make several upgrades to our front and back yards. This involved several of their services; such as pruning various plants, planting a tree, installing aluminum edging along our gardens and putting down fresh mulch, removal of unwanted gravel and a deteriorating stone structure, restoring and sealing a stone patio and walkway, and leveling a portion of our yard where they installed a concrete foundation for a shed.

Given the scope of work, I wanted to have a pretty detailed breakdown in the estimate, which they patiently worked through with me. They were upfront about options that could potentially increase the cost, and we only ended up deviating slightly from the estimate because of some optional adjustments we decided to move forward with.

In my case, we primarily discussed the project over email. Based on my experience in the busy summer season, it's fair to say that they generally didn't initiate discussion to confirm things like timing or payments after the initial estimate, but did respond promptly if I reached out. I recommend communicating proactively if you're unsure about details of your project.

As for the work itself, it took place over a few days. The workers usually arrived early at around ~8 A.M. and worked to around ~5 P.M. I appreciated that they took some precautionary measures to avoid damaging our plants while working on removing, cleaning, and installing stonework nearby. The finished work is clearly done by professionals and looks great–I would highly recommend Landscape Design Strategies if you have a similar project in mind.
