His philosophy based on hard work, attention to detail and customer service allowed him to build one of the most successful landscape companies in the Hudson Valley. Bill instilled his personal values of honesty, integrity, being easy to do business with, and always delivering on customer promises in his son, Scott. Our unmatched level of customer service brought on the demand from our clients for more property services and other locations including Westchester County, NY and Fairfield County, CT. As more and more services like irrigation, turf health care, plant health care, holiday décor, snow management and pools were made available we felt like our “landscape” name didn’t describe what we really do. The Neave Group – Outdoor Solutions umbrella was developed in 2011. Today our business is under the direction of President Scott Neave with support from a staff of highly trained, dedicated, and experienced landscape professionals. We strive to remain the leader in our field by training every employee in the company. We have employment opportunities for qualified individuals. Our corporate headquarters is located at 80 Airport Drive in Wappingers Falls, NY. We also have offices at 72 N. State Road \#418 in Briarcliff Manor, Westchester County, and 65 High Ridge Road \#488, Stamford, CT. ### Services Provided - Swimming Pool Construction - Swimming Pool Design - Pool Deck Design & Construction - Pool Lighting Installation - Pool Remodeling - Sauna Installation - Pool Covers - Pond Construction - Pool Liner Replacement ### Areas Served - Newburgh - Poughkeepsie - New Windsor - Fishkill - Scarsdale - Beacon - Myers Corner - Plattekill - Croton-on-Hudson - Briarcliff Manor - Highland - Wappingers Falls - Greenwich - Armonk - Gardnertown - Red Oaks Mill - Spackenkill - Marlboro - Balmville - Chappaqua - Crown Heights - Vails Gate - Arlington - Brinckerhoff - Clintondale - Milton - Hillside Lake - Hopewell Junction - Freedom Plains - Titusville - Chelsea - Garrison - Glenham - Hughsonville - Lagrangeville - Stormville - Verbank ### Typical Job Cost $5,000 - 5 million Pricing varies and depends on the project.

They did some amazing things with our project. The landscaping work is beautiful, and the design of the space was very well thought out. I just wish they finished the last 5% at the quality that they did the first 95% **★★★★★ — HU-566141087, July 2025** > I hired Neave Landscaping to transform my backyard into a relaxing retreat. From the start, David Katz and his team was professional, communicative, and full of creative ideas. > > The crew showed up on time every day and kept the work area tidy. What impressed me most was their attention to detail and how well they worked within my budget. The final result exceeded my expectations — I now have a beautiful, low-maintenance space to enjoy. > > I highly recommend Neave Landscaping to anyone looking for quality work and an stress-free experience! **★★★★★ — A K, Oct. 2024** > We’re thrilled with Neave's recent renovation of our backyard and pool. A friend saw the completed project and commented that whoever designed it “had vision.” That vision came from David Katz and his team at Neave, and it transformed our backyard from a place in which we rarely spent time to our favorite spot in the house. **★★★★★ — Emily Guerrette, June 2024** > All I can say is WOW. Absolutely amazing customer service and communication. From start to finish our experience with the pool and landscape design team was easy breezy. We shared our inspiration and vision for our yard, and we couldn't be happier! We so appreciate the follow up and check ins after the installation was finished. **★★★★★ — HU-65329928, June 2024** > Neave and in particular,MARIO, have been excellent. Mario has excellent ideas and specifically did an outstanding landscape project last year for us that had failed with 3 previous attempts from others. Totally successful! > Equally important- he answers his phone all the time and when he can’t he will call right back. > My wife and I love working with him - he CARES and it shows. His instructions to Diego and the crew are carried out flawlessly; they have been maintaining our property beautifully for years ….,,,,and they CARE too! > THANK YOU… > R and A Jacobson **★★★★★ — HU-462225094, June 2024** > I usually do not write reviews but I wanted to share with you my experience. > If you you are considering to have a pool or landscape work done at you home The Neave outdoor Solutions > Is wonderful to work with. > The company is incredibly professional. > This project was started on time and completed before it was supposed to. > The men who worked at my home were very knowledgeable and respectful. > The design team had the most incredible ideas. > We are beyond thrilled that we listened to their advice > And used Neave outdoor solutions. > You will be too. > It was a amazing experience from start to finish > > . **★★★★★ — roberta soranno, June 2024** > Thank you for a beautiful pool and experience.

It was a wonderful experience throughout all stages of landscape & poll design & then installation. I highly recommend them as the company that can do it all! **★★★★★ — Jan Bushey, May 2024** > Dave Katz did his usual excellent job designing a garden for a difficult sloping bank. His scheme used a variety of perennial plants and shrubs with a range of colors and textures. The garden has grown into a display of blooms that lasts throughout the summer. Dave was able to work past the doubters who were afraid of erosion and failure of the garden bed. Neave group worked efficiently and capably to transform what was an ugly site to a beautiful display. Dave personally checked back in the project, giving maintenance advice and suggestions. We couldn’t be more pleased with the appearance of the embankment. Dave cares about his work and his clients. I would use him again anytime. Jan B. Hopewell Reformed Church **★ — Marcelo Oliveira, Dec. 2023** > I come to this, sad after 10 months of trusting Neave to fix the issues to say that it wasn't the case. > While they did address some of the issues in my first review, it wasn't without fighting, threats and even worse : solutions put in place that created more problems. > > What happened > took almost 3 years, and my pool was bonded only 2 weeks ago. For that I had to call every other week, asking when it was going to be done. Not the kind of communication you expect. > > Here's my experience, which is surprising given Neave's reputation and cost structure: > > 1\. Project hired in 2021. Digging started may 2022 ( pictures as timeline proof ) - \>3 years to build a pool. > > a. The design process didn't think about retaining walls ( had to build one later ) > b. Designer didn't talk about how the Finnish on the borders was going to be a scratch (really scratchy ) prone concrete finish that no kid could ever play close to the border without getting scratched. > c. There's no follow up when I tried getting a landscape project for 6 months with them, gave up hired another company. > d. Went sometimes months without any status email or anything. Once I had to email the leadership at leave to get an answer. > > Construction: ( and I was lucky to get another pool professional to look at and give me "list of questions" otherwise I would never have found the issues) : > > 1 - they cut my power line while digging - costed my 10k to get it back on. Never took responsability. > 2\. Issues with the concrete pouring: the patio made by Neave has massive cracks - which after my complain I heard "it's normal to have hairline cracks" - until the last in person talk where I asked "is this normal?" to which I heard a strong reaction while he looked at the crack. Why that? Because the way leave built the coping, to fix that they would have to empty the pool and repair massive blocks. not an easy task, and they got quiet and of course disappeared. > > 3\. Deck: I picked a nice, and more expensive Ipe wood deck. It has a nice looking on the pictures. Not ours. Neave again does this all the time: They will build it, but don't include the coats needed to make it look "normal" so I got a greyed out Ipe deck. "ahh you want it looking like Ipe? you have to pay for power wash and staining" - ask for details. they don't share those. > > the deck is all warped and crooked ( photo ) > > 4\. Auto cover drain: they didn't do a proper drain so before we started using auto cover motor was underwater. After months of fights on the phone, they made a commitment to "insure" it for 1 year. They did dig a drain later. > 5\. pool was Leaking but they never told me. Renov contractor warned me. > > finally , as I am running out of space: they messed up our septic tank. After all discussions, Neave committed to replace the tank, putting a new one for us. The surprise? My 1500gl was replace by a 500gl. on a 4 bed house > > Final work done? July 24. > > I hired because of the reputation, but didn't work for me unfortunately **Comment from Neave Group Outdoor Solutions:** > Thank you very much. We appreciate the opportunity to work with you and share your excitement for your family to take your first plunge this swim season. **★★★★★ — Jim Boyken, Aug. 2023** > Neave did a great job doing a rehab job on our back unilock style walkway and solving a drainage problem. The walkway is about 15 years old and needed to be raised and reset... it was turning into a river during heavy downpours and pouring off into a sloping retainer wall causing erosion and other damage. The team recommended we also reroute our gutter runoff further away from the house so they installed drain lines from the gutters to the far side of our yard. The team made the walkway look almost like new reusing the old pavers... everything is nicely aligned and tight, releveled and kanted to run rain off to the sides. The new drainage system for the gutters was done very neatly... hardly any damage to the lawn due to the install. The site was all cleaned up, no mess left behind, and where the lawn was damaged, new seed and hay was there. > > I am really glad we got this work done what with all these heavy rains and I am glad Neave did the work! **★★★★★ — HU-95881988, June 2022** > Neave Group did a wonderful job on our pool patio, replacing decades-old brick pavers that were crumbling and uneven with high quality stamped concrete. The new patio is beautiful and we're already enjoying our new outdoor space. I was particularly happy that they were able to solve a difficult problem with the way my existing liner receiver was attached that other contractors had hand-waved away without a good plan to address. They even completed the project months before it was originally estimated to begin! ## Selected projects - [Infinity Edge Pool with Stand Alone Spa](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/infinity-edge-pool-with-stand-alone-spa-pj-vj~5393657) - Location: Philipstown, NY - Photos: 6 - Description: This infinity edge salt water pool (with automatic cover) and stand alone spa comes alive at night with beautiful landscape lighting.
