Landscaping reviews in Buffalo, New York

From beginning to end, Landscape for Less was an excellent company to work with for transforming our backyard. Tom and Sadie responded quickly to come over and provide an estimate. Tom gave an accurate timeframe and he stuck to the scheduled date, even when the weather turned bad. His communication was stellar throughout, so we knew what to expect.
We had parts of the grass that were gone from a rock patio and tree that had been removed as well as lots of weeds but the biggest issue was that of pooling water in our yard. I expressed that grading was very important and that we wanted to avoid the pooling water and get a better slope away from the house.
When the crew came over a period of three cold, drizzly days, they worked carefully to remove all existing plant material, with Sean even removing a big root ball of an old bush that had been cut down. They redistributed and spread dirt and new soil to grade properly and then finally lay down new sod. There was another area (not pictured) in which they did all the same and spread weed-preventing fabric along with gravel which will make that area much easier to maintain.
These folks really care about a job well done and I couldn't be happier with the job they did and the entire process of working with them. Every step of the way, they were communicative, kind, hard-working, and punctual, and I would whole-heartedly recommend their work to anyone.

Any time you hire a contractor you want three things: good work, good price, and good interaction. These folks excel at all three. I hired them for a very large landscaping/grading job that involved 6,000 sq ft of sod, 40 yards of top soil, and a huge amount of manual labor. I am very pleased with the results. I plan to use them again in the future, and to recommend them to friends and family without hesitation.

Made a huge difference in our backyard tying our new shed together and cleaning up a very overgrown corner. Love the look and the additional privacy it will give us and Tom and team were a pleasure to work with! Will seek them out for future landscaping changes for sure.

We have used Landscape for Less for the last 3 years for different projects. They are super quick to respond, do great work at a quality price. I highly recommend them for your Landscaping needs. We have had flower beds built, spring clean up and major weed removal from an alley behind our home done with them. Our parents have also used them and were extremely satisfied.

We had several estimates but something told us to trust Tom and Sadie. We are so glad we did because they started the job on time and delivered exactly what they said. We had a large pool landscape project completed by them and their team. Our lawn prior was pretty destroyed and we faced a major grading issue after the inground pool install. They paid special attention to not only meet/exceed our expectations but also cleaned up after everyday and you would not even know they were here. The job itself turned out fantastic and was exactly what we were looking for. Any questions we had they were always a phone call or text away to answer them. These days it can be hard to find a company that provides good quality/customer service but they are an exception because they care about their work, business and what the customer wants. Already planning my next project with them!

First I will say I chose Tom and Sadie for the vibes, I felt heard and communicated with. And the end result is that I have a yard where previously I didn't so I am content.
That being said if I were to chose them again it would be with new knowledge and with many more questions. They were my first big home investment and I've learned several things in hindsight that I will share here so maybe some other young new home owner can avoid my mistakes.
When provided with an estimate, I shouldn't have accepted a few scribbled words and a conversation with a large difference between low and high end. I should've asked for something itemized. As such I did not really know how much the project was going to cost, just that it'd be between 8-14k. Also I did not have a clear idea of the scope of work they were promising to do. When the total came to the high end of that, and I asked why. The question was rebuffed with the fact that it was inside the estimate and i realized that without a itemized estimate or even more detailed one that highlighted what would've made the project costs go up or down i really didn't have any understanding to argue. I should've held my ground and requested an itemized invoice. After I have now worked with several contractors, I know this is not an absurd ask but is instead very common practice that protects them and me. In hindsight, I should've also asked about warranty in the regards to the hardscaping. This is something less common but would still have been nice to know ahead of time.
Now I have posted the before and after photos, as well as a few after shots almost a year later where a portion of the sod didn't take and how the weed-proof region is in fact more like weed-deterred.
Again, I know I made mistakes in my ignorance; I know what I have is better than what I had. But after a year of reflection I still feel vaguely unsatisfied with the level of transparency and understanding. Hopefully anyone who reads this can take steps to feel otherwise in their own work. Thank you.

I had several landscapers give me quotes. Tom came out and we had a discussion on what I was looking for and I really didn’t know exactly what we wanted but we wanted simple. Tom gave me a few ideas and we went ahead with his proposal. It took longer for them to get to my house than originally discussed but that is understandable for any contractor. It’s the nature of the beast.

Tom’s crew went above and beyond of our expectations. They raked out the front yard, which wasn’t originally discussed and cut down some rose of Sharon’s. It really felt like they truly cared about their craftsmanship and you don’t find that a lot in today’s world.

Very appreciative of tom and his crew. Will definitely use him in the future if something arises.

Thank you

I hired Lanscape for less after having two overgrown trees and shrubs removed to re do my front landscaping and am super happy with the job they did.
Tom and Sadie gave me a more than fair estimate and came back on time in a week and surpassed my expectations with the job there crew did.
Me and the wife wanted a simple clean low maintenance look and they delivered with a Japanese maple and stones where the bed meets the driveway to boot!
I’m attaching before and after photos and definitely will recommend this company to friends and family and have them back for any other services needed.

Landscape for Less, as the name suggests, was not our direct goal when we were calling around and talking to prospective companies to re-do out front garden beds. We were looking for a company that would work with us and help us to accomplish what we had in mind at a fair price. Tom and his crew at Landscapes for Less were fully engaged and more. From start to finish, Tom was directly involved in every step in the process. We had specific desires on the exact stone, blocks and grasses we wanted. Tom acquired them and stored them until the job started. Once the work started, he directly oversaw every aspect of all the work. The job was completed in a timely manner and cleanup every day was exceptional. Attention to the details for me is very, very important and I can say that Tom and all his crew had that mindset in everything they did. Polite, professional and accommodating changes as the job went forward was demonstrated throughout the entire process. Could not be happier with the result and working with Tom was a pleasure.

I contracted them for Snow Plowing and Shoveling of a Residential Elderly Veterens apartment complex in downtown. Even though I spoke to Thomas about the importance of the wheel chair ramp for tenants for doctors appointments especially in mornings , I was assured he does this all over and he understands the importance of a clean ramp with half the building in wheelchairs. I had to call Tom every snowfall this season, and was then informed he doesn't go out " trigger" unless there is 4 inches and its after the storm within 4 hours. How are these people gonna get out of building SAFELY. He does no preventative salting from melting snow. After many warnings we terminated his service. There is a camera on the wheelchair ramp so very easy to monitor. Would not recommend

Landscape for Less did a fantastic job on our landscaping. We needed a full overhaul, including design/prep/install, and they delivered - the photos speak for themselves. Their price was comparable to other quotes we got and they take a lot of pride in their work to do it the right way. The crew worked very hard and were kind and courteous while they were at our house. Tom also spent quite a bit of time with us going to nurseries to pick out what we wanted to plant and gave us a lot of good suggestions and insight into what would work in our space. If I had to give feedback, it would be that we didn’t know how the entire process would work upfront and we interpreted that as a lack of communication. As soon as I brought this up to Tom, it got much better and we felt more comfortable and in the loop after that. All around would definitely recommend working with Landscapes for Less!
