Rich and his entire crew were fabulous. Rich is creative and a true professional. His crew is respectful and hard working. They were neat and organized. The final product is top notch!!! **★★★★★ — User, Sept. 2016** > I cannot even begin to express how much we love the back yard space Rich and his team created for us.From the first consultation with Rich to the last day his crew was there we knew that Rich is a true master at his craft. The respect that his guys showed us while working not only made everyone feel comfortable but also made this one of the best experiences we ever had. If a backyard paradise is what you want then Elite Landscape should be your choice. Thanks again Rich see you soon. **★★★★★ — Diana Russ, Aug. 2016** > Rich at Elite Landscapes laid a flagstone walkway from our front door winding down to our driveway. Then, he designed and arranged a beautiful landscape along the front of our house accenting the walk. Within the landscape design there were many different garden-like plants worked in to fit the theme of our home. The landscape was completed with two stack stone walls. > > The process began a few months before the actual project commenced. Rich worked with us hand-in-hand to make sure the final design was exactly what we wanted. He communicated well and often. > > Rich is a true artisan in his trade who has a passion for excellent work. We highly recommend him and his crew! **★★★★★ — dzumyk, July 2016** > Rich and his team of professionals did an AMAZING job on our outdoor patio and walkway. From start to finish, Rich was extremely patient and so helpful when my husband and I were trying to choose the type of style and paver I wanted for our patio. Rich constructed a 3D design, and in the end it looked exactly as he promised. I was so impressed by his recommendations and assistance along the way. His response time to phone calls were quick and, he was always courteous and accommodating. You can tell that no matter how big or small your project is, he offers the same attention to everyone. You can truly tell that his team of professionals take pride in their work and love what they do. They were so quick in constructing our patio and walkway, yet attention to detail was their top priority. Our patio and front walkway is a true example of landscape perfection. Rich and his crew enabled us to create an oasis in our own backyard. We can not wait to see what Rich and his crew will design for us when we are ready to install our pool walkway. We highly recommend Elite. No one can compare or even come close to their keen eye for design and attention to detail and perfection. > Linda & Edwin Tejada **★★★★★ — ciambronejoe, Feb. 2016** > If you're looking for great design, a professional installation, and quality work look no further. Rich is a master at his craft, taking design to a new level. The patio Elite built us has us spending more time outside then inside. The space is simply amazing!!! **★★★★★ — tmdowd, Nov. 2015** > Just completed our installation and very happy with the work from Rich and Elite Landscapes. A beautiful design and great execution. Work performed quickly and efficiently. An extremely professional approach. I couldn't imagine the process going any smoother than it did. Looking forward to making the most of our new backyard next summer. **★★★★★ — manny2013, April 2014** > We normally don't write reviews, but Elite Landscape was so great I felt that I had to do something to show my appreciation. This is one of the best companies I have ever dealt and highly recommend them for all landscaping and hardscaping needs. > > Everyone in the company was competent and professional in every phase of the project. If you want an honest estimate and authentic work, this is the company for you. They stuck to the budget and schedule, from start to finish, even when we made some changes to the original plan while they were working on it. The final product completely resembled to the 3-D presentation (that incorporated a virtual representation of our project to scale). > > Owner Rich Castaldi, went above and beyond and worked closely with the pool company and other contractors, to complete our Project on time... Elite Landscape surpassed our expectations in terms of creative design and high quality execution. They have excellent attention to detail and always put their heart into a project. Rich was great to work with. Very responsive, patient and understanding working with us to keep within our budget and on schedule. They truly added value to our home. Elite changed our backyard into a picture perfect paradise…..Thank you Rich Castaldi... **★★★★★ — macalusot, Jan. 2014** > We are so impressed with our patio and landscape installation. From our initial meeting and throughout the entire planning process, Rich carefully listened and thoroughly addressed every question, concern, and idea we’ve had. The end was result was stellar with every detail attended to. The Elite crew is the most efficient crew that we have ever worked with. They worked tirelessly everyday and cleaned up every single night! They are truly a dedicated crew with amazing skill. We can’t rave enough about Rich and the passion he pours into his projects. We trust him with any project in our home. **★★★★★ — vh19845150, Jan. 2014** > Rich and the Elite Landscapes crew did an amazing job with our patio, outdoor fireplace and path. From the design of the project (Rich did an incredible design) to the construction (the Elite crew showed great care and attention to detail throughout). Our new patio exceeded our expectations, and we couldn't be more pleased. I would very HIGHLY recommend Elite Landscapes. **★★★★★ — cieciuch, Jan. 2014** > Even though I decided to go a different route (deck v patio), ELITESCAPES was a pleasure to work with. Rich is a class act. He was very professional and very customer focused. I would recommend him to anyone and still may use him for a pool patio in a few years. **★★★★★ — cravennj, Jan. 2014** > We can't say enough about Rich and team. We had tight/awkward space, some existing patio, and a budget. Our pool/patio are is now magazine worthy! Not only that, from meeting \#1 to completion, every call was returned, and every questions was answered. We deal with many contractors and by far, Elite ranks on top as most professional/easiest to work with. **★★★★★ — nrdesai, Jan. 2014** > We rehired Elite Landscapes to complete a landscaping & paver project for the front of our home after the stunning job they did with our multi-level patio last summer. We weren't expecting to be surprised by the finished project given the high bar Rich Castildi and his team already set but we were blown away with the results. Elite was even able to finish our project a day early. Once again, the site was left clean and accessible on a daily basis. The LED lighting system Rich recommended is stunning and we are finding ourselves hanging out on our newly pavered front stoops more often. We even switched up a lot of our plants at the last minute (due to sensitivities around local deer population) and Rich made the changes without batting an eye. It really was a relief to have two favorable experiences with a contractor after some of the horror stories you hear from friends and neighbors from time to time. I highly recommend Elite Landscapes & Pavers and we look forward to working with them on future projects. ## Selected projects - [Morganville NJ Residence Blue Stone Patio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/morganville-nj-residence-blue-stone-patio-pj-vj~375504) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - [Marlboro NJ Residence Patio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/marlboro-nj-residence-patio-pj-vj~375512) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 17 - [Oldbridge NJ Residence Raised Patio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/oldbridge-nj-residence-raised-patio-pj-vj~375510) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - [In-ground Concrete Pool & Patio Manalapan NJ](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/in-ground-concrete-pool-and-patio-manalapan-nj-pj-vj~2365605) - Location: Manalapan Township, NJ - Photos: 14 - [Wall Township NJ Landscape and Outdoor Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wall-township-nj-landscape-and-outdoor-lighting-pj-vj~2365273) - Location: Wall Township, NJ - Photos: 18 - [Outdoor Living Monroe NJ](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/outdoor-living-monroe-nj-pj-vj~1394502) - Location: Millstone, NJ - Photos: 34 - [Pool and Patio Colts Neck NJ](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pool-and-patio-colts-neck-nj-pj-vj~1342053) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 21 - [Covered Patio Monroe NJ with Fireplace](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/covered-patio-monroe-nj-with-fireplace-pj-vj~1342007) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - [Pool and Patio Fair Haven NJ](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pool-and-patio-fair-haven-nj-pj-vj~1334364) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Patio Manalapan NJ](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/patio-manalapan-nj-pj-vj~1334324) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 32 - [Travertine Patio Freehold NJ](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/travertine-patio-freehold-nj-pj-vj~897265) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - [Pool Patio Marlboro NJ](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pool-patio-marlboro-nj-pj-vj~502359) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 18 - [Blue Stone Patio & Cedar Pavilion](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/blue-stone-patio-and-cedar-pavilion-pj-vj~459220) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Pool Patio & Landscape Jackson NJ](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pool-patio-and-landscape-jackson-nj-pj-vj~419967) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Rumson NJ Blue Stone Patio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rumson-nj-blue-stone-patio-pj-vj~419965) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [3D Designs](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/3d-designs-pj-vj~375541) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - [Pool Patio West Long Branch NJ](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pool-patio-west-long-branch-nj-pj-vj~375528) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - [Blue Stone Pool Patio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/blue-stone-pool-patio-pj-vj~375517) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 [See all 18 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/landscape-contractors/elite-landscapes-and-pavers-inc-pfvwus-pf~436936850) ## Ideabooks - [elitescapes's Ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/20233510/list/elitescapes-s-ideas) — 140 ideas - [GARAGE](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/40741204/list/garage) — 32 ideas [See all 2 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/elitescapes) ## Community Q&A **Q: what is the color of these pavers ?** *(in Photo Questions)* color of pavers?
