He was professional and worked hard to make our backyard look exactly how we envisioned. Throughout the project he communicated with us and made suggestions that made the final product a masterpiece. Also, Steve was very budget conscience making sure there were not any surprises in the end. Upon completion as we sat around our new fire pit, our 9 year-old-son said, “it was the best night he’s ever had in our back yard.” When we step outside now it’s like entering a fancy resort. My family highly recommends Steve and his crew. **Comment from Tingley Landscapes:** > Thanks Kelly for the kind words and positive review. It was a pleasure working with you both. Enjoy the fire pit and patio with your kids; time goes fast and they grow up.... Again.. thank you for your confidence in me and letting me create your outdoor resort! **★★★★★ — HU-737042401, Sept. 2020** > We could not be happier with the project ( new patio)Steve and his crew did for us. The biggest value added by Tingley Landscapes is Steve’s vision and design. We started off talking about rebuilding a patio and ended up with a beautiful new outdoor living space! His crew works hard, and are very professional. Can’t say enough. **Comment from Tingley Landscapes:** > Thanks to you both. It was a pleasure working with you. I appreciate your trust in the concept I had for your backyard. Great outdoor addition to your home! Enjoy the grilling and entertainment island!.. Thanks again- **★★★★★ — Tim Kittell, Aug. 2020** > Tingley Landscapes just completed a nearly 800 sq ft patio at our home that includes a fire pit, built in grill island, sitting wall, limestone stairs, and stone columns among other things. We COULD NOT BE HAPPIER with the finished product!! The craftsmanship. attention to detail and quality of work are truly second to none! This space is now the focal point of our home! > In addition to the high quality of work, Steve and his team are professional, punctual and easy to work with. They take pride in their work, and always make sure that the customer is satisfied. As an example, we had several changes from the original plan during construction, and Steve always made sure that we understood and approved. Bottom line, our patio is AMAZING! > As a homeowner, it can sometimes be difficult to find contractors that are professional, reliable and also do great work. Tingley Landscapes checks all the boxes! I would highly recommend Tingley Landscapes without hesitation to anyone who asks! **★★★★★ — HU-514492484, July 2020** > Our landscaping project was expertly handled. We had a few changes on the day of instillation and Steve was very accommodating. The installing team were very professional and courteous. We are very satisfied with our new landscaping. **★★★★★ — Marilynn Vannelli, July 2020** > Steve has done a number of projects for us over the years, including sidewalks, porches, landscaping, and water abatement, in two of our homes. Each time we have been extremely satisfied with the quality of his work. Our last project involved solving a challenging problem with standing water in our back yard. He devised and installed a drainage system, properly regraded and seeded the yard, and installed a delightful landscaping feature in the same area. We couldn't be more pleased with the results. Steve listens carefully, studies the situation at hand, plans, communicates his plans well, and executes his plans to perfection. The work is done on time, within the stated budget, and with the least amount of disruption. We always enjoy having Steve work on our homes, and highly recommend him for any landscaping project that you may have. **★★★★★ — Dan B, June 2020** > Tingley Landscapes installed new front porch steps that we are very happy with. Steve and his crew showed up on time and completed the work as promised. The final cost and construction methods were exact to the original job estimate. We highly recommend Tingley Landscapes. > Dan B **★★★★★ — A Kasson, March 2019** > Our experience with Steve Tingley Landscapes has been a very positive experience from the onset. > > Steve listened carefully to our initial ideas for the new patio and the new front walkway and 3-front step areas. He designed separate landscape drawings that captured our ideas. He made professional suggestions on plantings to complement the areas, considering our planting zone, weather, and house’s location. Later Steve answered all our emails regarding plantings with professional advice and alternatives. Care of plantings was also discussed. > > While, as expected, actual excavations and constructions were dusty and noisy each site was left neat, tidy, and safe at the end of every workday. Onsite machinery was carefully placed, secured, and locked. > > His team of workers were very courteous and worked a long day despite the heat and humidity, of the summer (2018). In fact, Steve worked alongside his team too. > > The results were stunning in both front and back work sites earning from us a 5-stars rating. > > Steve’s finished product has been admired by many in the neighborhood. In fact, we have hired him again for a third landscaping project. > > A & AK, CNY **Comment from Tingley Landscapes:** > Thank you so much for you comments. Your project was quite extensive and involved, yet we worked through all the phases and components. It was a very satisfying to see it all come together. You were both great to work with and I am looking forward to a continued relationship. Thanks again for your faith in my company and thanks for the hospitality and concern during those hot weeks of summer! **★★★★★ — Jay LaBarge, March 2019** > My wife and I hired Tingley Landscapes to do some much overdo reworking of old, overgrown landscaping. The entire process was outstanding, and Steve was such a help with offering various design alternatives. What he came up with was something we never would have, based upon his many years of expertise and insight. The work was conducted quickly and professionally, and exceeded our expectations (which is saying something). Tingley Landscapes is an outstanding company to do business with - we highly recommend them! **Comment from Tingley Landscapes:** > Thank you both for your business! We worked thru the details and got it done! > The project turned out great; love the rocks and new plantings! **★★★★★ — Rosie taravella, March 2019** > Steve did an amazing job repairing my backyard and adding stairs after we removed our above ground pool and surrounding deck. . He was aware that we were on a timeline prior to selling our home and even found opportunities to work on the project over the winter! Plus he was diligent about sticking to our budget. His flexibility and fair prices make him a top choice! **Comment from Tingley Landscapes:** > Thanks Rosie! Glad to help with the outdoor components of selling your home. I think we tailored the project to get the most out of your investment! Congratulations on the sale! **★★★★★ — Taylor Bucci, March 2019** > You can either call around and try to find the least expensive landscape company to do your job, OR you can save yourself a lot of time and hassle and call Steve Tingley Landscaping. Steve will give you a fair price for the super high quality of work that he and his team provides... However, be aware that Steve is a perfectionist with several decades of experience with his craft, so whatever project you hire him for, it will likely end up being better than what you had envisioned. Seriously...stop wasting time and $ and call Steve to ensure high quality work for a fair price. **Comment from Tingley Landscapes:** > I appreciate your input Taylor! Each of your projects had its own unique flare; nice to make those improvements at your home, and thanks for your faith in my recommendations and experience! **★★★★★ — HU-635426427, March 2019** > Tingley landscapes redesigned my front landscaping and it came out beautiful!

Thanks for the opportunity! **★★★★★ — HU-392216631, Feb. 2019** > Steve Tingley Lanscapes has worked on three different projects for me. All three projects were completed in a timely manner and with no surprises. The first project was a 400 sq ft patio. I gave Steve the freedom to design and install the patio as he wished and I love it! The second project was a timber stairway and the third was a add on to an existing patio. Tingley Landscapes had the equipment and personnel to complete all three projects.
