Home Services reviews in Hawthorne, New York

We have used Aliberti for spring and fall cleanups, weekly mowing and edging, mulch, and installing Belgium blocks around a landing. We have been very happy with all of their services (and we are pretty picky about our yard). Carmine is professional but never pushy. Prices are fair for the area.

Jay and his team did a remarkable job reimagining our front and back yards. We have a smallish plot and challenging terrain, but they made our space feel larger, more usable, and of course much more beautiful. They saw the potential that we could not. We regularly get compliments on our garden from people walking by. The garden is designed to morph with the seasons, with something always in bloom. We used mostly/all native plants that pollinators love. We and our young son now enjoy spending time in our garden so much.

During the design process, Jay and Katherine presented a great plan and they were happy to work with us to tweak it as we came up with new ideas and changed our priorities. For the installation, the team worked quickly and efficiently so we did not feel like we were living in a construction site. Everything was well coordinated. I can’t say Jay is cheap, but he is good value - we thought the price was reasonable for the design, quality, and professionalism. Usually working with contractors is a stressful process, but this was practically stress free and that’s priceless.

Jay is very knowledgable about drainage issues in my yard. He knows his stuff and was very helpful. Thank you Jay

Jay and his team were able to divert storm water away from our house into dry wells on our property as well as improving the permeability of our soil and optimizing drainage throughout the property.His creative solution to our drainage problems minimized excavation,preserved the natural landscape and allowed for infiltration into the aquifer rather than diverting water into storm drains.The team was very professional,reliable,,and skilled.I could not recommend Jay and his team highly enough

My experience working with Green Jay Landscaping was beyond my wildest dreams. The team is kind, respectful and they truly believe and love what GJL represents. They fulfilled my dreams, goals and desires to
accomplish a "Living Landscape", an expression of my passionate enthusiasm and faith in the power of Nature. I am experiencing the bliss of life bursting forth in all its glory, the beautiful diversity of life as Nature intended. THANKS GREEN JAY LANDSCAPING FOR TAKING SUCH GREAT CARE OF ME AND MY PROPERTY.

Jay is very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. We've learned a lot from him about natural gardening. He and his team did a first class job on our project and really transformed our property into something quite beautiful..

It’s taken me a very long time to write this review because I’ve been busy enjoying my garden. I had no idea that the initial consult with Jay would produce an end product so wonderful.

The plan was to convert a large portion of my garden to an edible perennial food garden. His design was able to accomplish this and allow enough grass for my dog to run. I am constantly amazed at the amount of birds and insects in my garden. It’s such a joyful space where I can sit outdoors with friends and family to enjoy nature and the bounty of my food garden. Thank you Green Jay Landscaping from the bottom of my heart!

We had heard wonderful things about Greenjay, and love their respect for the environment, but didn't know if they would want to work around our firmly held vision of an English country cottage garden. Boy did they! They took our dream and created a reality so stunning we (and our neighbors and casual walkers-by) are in heaven. Blossoming times and colors seem to have been perfectly executed so that there is interest in all seasons. Bumblebees, butterflies, and hummingbirds abound. Jay has checked in frequently to see how things are coming and responded quickly to requests for additional help elsewhere on our property. We absolutely couldn't be happier!

I am sure that my words will not do justice to the happiness that Jay and his wonderful team have brought me. They transformed a plain yard into the most glorious garden! It is peaceful, serene and my most favorite place for morning coffee.

I would never hesitate to use Green Jay Landscaping, Jay really listens to what you want and then makes the dream a living reality. They are truly marvelous.

Jay has a beautiful eye for design and he understands what's best for your property in terms of water drainage and air flow. He incorporates his incredible understanding of our local plants and animals to create a personal nature preserve. He's very patient and accessible and his team is helpful, meticulous and professional. Highly recommend them.

I have only great things to say about our experience with Green Jay Landscaping. They are incredibly knowledgable, professional, and inspired, and it has been a pleasure to work with them.

We are currently in the middle of a very large, multi-stage project as they are redesigning our property. They put together a thoughtful design that is perfect for the setting. The scope of the job involves lots of hardscape work with stone steps-- which they are masters at creating-- and many areas of native plantings, which they have expert knowledge of. Their design has transformed the whole space, while also making it look like it completely belongs in the natural setting.

Each step of the way they have been attentive, detail-oriented, and easy to work with. The results, thus far, have surpassed our expectations and we are looking forward to our continued work with the team!

I am thrilled with the work and professionalism that Jay and his team have brought to my landscape design and planting for my front yard. From start to finish - they have been professional and creative and easy to communicate with. Their focus on the broader environmental needs and how my little yard can be part of that was why I contacted them- and they came through 100%
My neighbors have also noticed - I even got a bottle of wine to congratulate me on my beautiful new front yard design and planting. I can't wait to follow all of the blooms through the seasons - and looking forward to doing my backyard with them next year.

We are incredibly grateful to the GreenJay team for our absolutely stunning landscape. The design and execution not only created a wonderful and healthy space, but also inspired our kids to be interested in cultivating a native and organic environment.

Jay and his team did an amazing job overhauling our home's landscaping. They took an outdoor space that was lifeless and drab and remade it as a lush, vibrant and beautiful oasis for our family to enjoy. The whole process was painless, relatively quick and actually kind of fun. Jay listened to our specific needs - we have three young kids who love to play outside - and delivered a backyard with lots of color and interest, with blueberry and hazelnut shrubs for us to harvest in the summer. I've spent many happy hours with the kids chasing butterflies, observing bees and marveling at the incredible array of wildflowers and other native plants we now enjoy. We have received many compliments, and the local flora and fauna seem to like it as well! Thank you Jay, Uzi and the whole team!

I don’t have words to adequately describe how Jay and his team completely transformed my property and just how much I love it. The gardens went from neglected and tired to lush, gorgeous and vibrant. Jay listened to my goals (including using native plants and pollinators, increasing the biodiversity and addressing the growing erosion issue) and then created a beautiful oasis that is alive with pollinators, birds and insects. The gardens bring me such joy; every time I return home I have to pinch myself that I am so fortunate to live in such a beautiful place. I couldn’t be happier and wouldn’t change a thing.

Jay designed a beautiful garden for my old lake house. It had endured decades of neglect and a steep slope had frustrated all my attempts at planting and improvement. A few weeks of work by Jay's team transformed my yard into a paradise. Boulders, trees, bushes, flowers, and paths for a peaceful stroll are now my paradise. And... I do not have to see my neighbor now! It was a pleasure to have him and his team around. We celebrated with lunch, drinks, and guitar playing when all was done. Thanks Jay!

Jay and the team were a pleasure to work with on our landscape project. Jay is an incredible resource for and passionate about all things landscaping and the team was friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. The project was finished on schedule despite several changes we requested and Jay has continued to proactively follow up to monitor the results. Overall, we're extremely happy with the results and would absolutely recommend Green Jay Landscaping.

This is a professional, local, artistic, and ecologically sound landscaping company I am very excited to be able to work with. Jay came right out to the house to do an assessment within a day of my initial e-mail. We discussed the footprint of our home, the goals we had for using the space, the native plants that would work best, and our overarching vision. He created an extensive design for our property using the space and a ton of local plants (with special care/concern for pollinators and native plants that would flourish). We have just finished phase 1 which was a redesign of our front patio precisely the way he described. He created a very natural, rustic, flowing space that brings me joy. He and his staff have a great eye for detail. They were prompt, professional, and communicated each step of the way. I am looking forward to the next phase of our project. Would very highly recommend to anyone looking for someone who truly cares about the quality of his work.

Jay and his team at Green Jay Landscaping transformed what was a boring, unsustainable, dead zone of turf grass into a vibrant native plant garden and meadow alive and buzzing with pollinators. The crew installed low maintenance plants and stone with manual tools, organic methods. The only sounds produced were of shovels and nature itself. Jay is a true ecological master gardener. He and his whole team are passionate about plants and how everything is connected. They understand and appreciates humankind’s role in nature should be to nurture it, enhance it, not work against it with designs requiring polluting equipment and poisonous methods. That birds, insects and leaves play a vital role in the food web. That attracting and sustaining pollinators in decline is responsible land stewardship. If he plants it, they will come is true—the amount of Monarch butterflies, bees, birds and more visiting the oasis that Green Jay created here has been breathtaking and unbelievably rewarding. We had no idea that the magic of a garden isn’t the flowers themselves but the life the flowers bring to the garden. May this “new” gardening movement and restoration of pollinator habitat catch on and replace toxic mow n blow —-it’s time.

Green Jay Landscape design if you are looking for creative, natural landscaping . . . Jay has a great eye and calls a landscape as he sees it . . . forthcoming about problems he sees . . . designs best in situ as a plot of land speaks to him . . . not for the ordinary, or better said, go to Green Jay to get away from the ordinary yet still retaining the beauty of a home garden

Jay did a project for us years ago that was gorgeous and we were thrilled to work with him again. His designs are fantastic, full of creativity and attention to detail, and he delivers on schedule. I can't wait to see how this new lanscaping grows and develops as the seasons progress.
