About us

Larry's Landscaping offers professional landscape design and installation to the Capital District. We pride ourselves on providing you personal service and the utmost attention to detail in creating or enhancing your landscape. With more than 30 years of experience, we would like to be your residential landscape design and installation contractor. Much of our landscape maintenance is done the old school way, by hand and detailed to perfection. Pruning is done with hand-held clippers, edges are cut using a sharp spade and mulch is spread using a wheelbarrow and our hands then smoothed out with a rake. As in so many things, the personal touch makes all the difference. We design plantings and landscapes that will last for many years. Planning your landscape down to the smallest detail and making your property stand out is what we aim for on every landscaping job.

This is the second time we have used Larry's Landscaping - first time was in early July for garden weeding, edging, mulching (which was also done excellently). This visit, was for lawn repair. Information was taken during the visit to provide an estimate for the July work & Larry suggested that lawn repair was best done later in the summer. There was no need for another estimate due to the precision in evaluating our property during the first visit. They simply referred to previous notes, provided a specific estimate & we scheduled the appointment. Larry is great - he made a few suggestions at today's work which required some extra work but made the job look much better (no added charges). He takes pride in his work & seems to have excellent help with him on his jobs. We will definitely be a regular customer for his services going forward.
Description of Work: Repaired a portion of back lawn which had been damaged over a period of years by a lively dog. The job included leveling out the lawn, which had become deeply trenched, adding topsoil, mulching & seeding the area.

we can't ask for a better outcome. it's beautiful on all levels. larry was there every day and he is directly involved with every level of detail. he and patty were professional, courteous and simply wonderful to deal with from the beginning to end. the crew was pleasant, professional and we never had the impression that we were getting the "b team" as we did with our previous landscaper. larry and patty will most definitely get our business again, and again...
Description of Work: landscaping in front of our house. they did a wonderful job with helping us choose plants. they did a great job with placing new plants and moving others. they did trimming all around the house and they fixed all of the problems and replaced all the dead plants from the previous landscaper (sunshine).

This is the fourth time my husband and I have hired Larry and his son josh to come work on our lawn. This time we hired them they fixed a swampy swale that we had shared with the house next to us. They ripped up and dug out the swale and replaced with sand and stone. Not only does it look amazing it's the first time the rest of or lawn isn't soaked from the run off of the swale. I was sad to read the review before me as the person gave them an f. I can assure you this had to be a fluke. I am a type A personality and like everything as perfect as it can be and Larry and Josh provide just that. They not only make everything beautiful and functional but stand behind their work. They are flexible and responsible and willing to work with you on price. We won't use anyone else!!

My initial call with a woman, I think it was Larry's wife, was on April 25th. We had a good conversation about our interest in having them come out to our townhome to develop a landscape design. I specifically asked if I was calling early enough for them to be able to fit us in with the Spring requests, she assured me that I was in fact calling at a good time! At that time they agreed they would come view the property in mid-May, develop a design, send it to me via email, and we set up a tentative appt. to review the design in person on the property. ( I mentioned in my call that I found them on Angie's list--hint hint!) I called them back around May 25th to let them know I had returned from my trip and to please send me the design electronically and to please call me. I never received a return call. Then on June 9th a little after 6:00 I received a message that her and Larry were on their way up to our property, but she couldn't locate the papers with our address. We weren't available at the time, nor did we know they were coming since I never received a return call. I called Larry's back on the morning of June 10th and left a message, and also placed another call in the morning of June 11th for a return call. I have never received any return calls from them. I have worked in the Customer Service area for over 40 years, this company's service is the worst that I've experienced in a very long time. The last company that I did business with in this same category is long gone, that was Montgomery Wards! So much for an A rating on Angie's List, doesn't bode well for their rating system or service

Response from Larry's Landscaping
We are very sorry for the miscommunication between ourselves and this potential customer. When we initially spoke by phone (customer was calling from her primary residence in Indiana), we set up an appointment for Monday, June 9th to go over the plans for her yard in person at her Saratoga home. I told her I had put the appointment on my calendar. On Monday, June 9th, Larry and I had three appointments in Saratoga in the afternoon and evening, one of which required me to bring my gardening tools. In packing for the appointments, I forgot the paperwork with this potential customer's Saratoga address. Luckily, the other appointments were repeat customers and I had their information in my computer database already. I did, however, have her phone number. Unfortunately, she didn't answer her phone when I called so I left a message hoping she would give me a call back before our appointment time. We were in Saratoga until dark but didn't hear back from her that evening. Another miscommunication is the emailing of our plans. I don't remember saying we would email them beforehand and if I did but didn't follow through, I am sorry for that too. We had also been trying to switch our phone equipment in an effort to be more efficient, but that didn't work out so well and we missed a lot of calls and lost a lot of voice messages. For that, we apologize to everyone who called us during that time. We have since smoothed out the problems and are back in working order. I know this sounds like a lot of excuses but the deal is we messed up on our potential business relationship with this customer. We are sincerely sorry and we hope she was able to find someone reliable and talented to make her yard a special place for herself and her family. Like everything else in life, you have to take the reviews on Angie's list with a grain of salt. We can't please all the people all the time but we do try very hard to please as many people as we can. We worked hard to earn our good rating but sometimes mistakes are made. Thank you to all the people who give us a chance and even greater thanks to the people who take the time to put a review on Angie's list.

We called on 5/7 when they had not shown up in their initial timetable. They said they could do it on June 3-6 . When we stated they had indicated within a two week timeframe from initial visit they said they'd do it on the 24th. We really do not want to wait that long and was not given the impression it would be that long after the initial visit.
Description of Work: Was very responsive with the initial visit to evaluate the property. Nice people seemed experienced and capable. Said they would provide a spring clean up for the front yard only within the next two weeks for $300.00. Lots of leaves, sticks, bark, limbs to pick up from some difficult areas. Indicated they would provide plans for landscaping options to occur after the initial clean up.

This was my second project with Larry. Once again I was extremely happy with the results! Larry and his crew were very professional, personable, hardworking, and courteous. He did everything he said he would do. He always had a solution for any issue that came up and nothing was a problem for him. The stone border for the mulch, which matches the first job stone, was his idea and looks great. His attention to detail is extraordinary. Another great job!!
Description of Work: Planted 8, 10-12 foot arborvitae trees. The holes were dug manually and had to be placed in the same area that other large Douglas Fur trees were removed from. Very tricky, as was also on a slight slope. Installed black vinyl edging, lay landscape fabric and pinned down well in area around trees. Then put down mulch with a border of stone.

I would HIGHLY recommend Larry's Landscaping. Larry was a pleasure to work with. He did what he said he would do and was on time and within budget. He also had great design ideas that really added to the end result. He was very conscientious and his attention to detail was exceptional. I am so glad I selected Larry!
Description of Work: Removed all weeds and cleaned up planting beds along a large fenced area in the backyard and around the pool. Was difficult because also wanted to leave current plants and trees, of which there were a significant number. Cut a fresh edge along all beds with a spade. Install black vinyl edging along all bedlines. Lay landscape fabrics in all beds and pin down well then cover with stone. This went so well and looked so good that I decided to initiate another project of a different nature with ideas that were offered by Larry when I asked for his input. I expect this project to go as well as the first.

We arranged a time about a week in advance. He called up just before to confirm and informed me he had ordered the sod and preparatory work would be done the day before. Everything arrived on time and was installed according to how we had discussed. Larry came with his son and they both worked pretty much non stop doing everything, and even doing extra when I saw that I needed extra work done. They included all the extras within the original price. Nothing was too much trouble, even when we changed our minds about a couple of things. They were very knowledgeable about their work and most important were very proud of their accomplishments. I haven't said this about any other contractor, but they were a joy to have around. You felt that they really cared about their work and me as their customer. A few days later, Larry called to follow up and make sure that the sod was doing OK. This is a great little family business that I enthusiastically recommend to others.
Description of Work: 1. Did basic weeding of a flower plot . 2. Installed wood edging for about a 30 ft garden plot. 3. Laid about 1800 sq.ft. of sod in our back yard.

The attention to detail was extraordinary. Larry deeply edged each bed, dug up the weeds, trimmed back overhanging shrubs, and placed a layer of mulch. He is unusually dedicated to doing a professional job and goes way above and beyond. He worked one whole day with a helper until 7:00 p.m. and also the next morning by himself starting at 8:00 a.m. It was raining hard at one point, but he kept at it. It's difficult to find workers with this sort of work ethic. This service was a find and the price was very competetive with the other bids we received.
Description of Work: Mulched all of the many flower/shrub beds we have in the yard.
