I recently hired Hoffman Landscapes, among other activities, to remove reams of difficult plants and large dead trees. The work was done with efficiency and professionalism. The productivity of the workers was very good; they well earned the not-small cost of the work. I appreciated the company's responsiveness to my wanting to get the job done "now" and will continue to use this company going forward.
The Regency at Prospect Condominium Association Inc. The Regency at Prospect depends on Hoffman Landscapes for our Winter Snow Removal. Our community is a large condominium complex of 366 homes with driveways, a large clubhouse and parking lot, sidewalks and seven miles of roads. Hoffman and their crew are diligent and courteous. They do a great job of clearing the roads, driveways, and sidewalks. Regardless of the amount of snow they clear the entire complex every time. They come back and check for returning ice after a storm and in the spring repair any damaged Belgium blocks, grass areas etc. Regency utilizes many service providers year-round and Mike Hoffman and his team are one provider that we never worry about and never have to check on for their quality of work.
We worked with Hoffman to design and build our pool and create our incredible 'pool-scape'. We had an excellent experience working with Hoffman. Matt, Geo, Kevin and the team were extremely knowledgeable, professional, creative and provided us the highest level of service throughout. Our job was complex, and the Hoffman team was always 1-2 steps ahead - with the expertise and experience required to solve any problem. The Team showed up everyday - always courteous, responsive, hard working, with a 'can do' attitude. We are thrilled with our pool and the absolutely beautiful landscaping. We provide Hoffman the highest level of recommendation. In particular, we are truly grateful for Matt's unique combination of pool design and landscape architecture - the results are beautiful and exceeded our expectations! We are extremely happy we selected Hoffman and would gladly provide a reference.
Hoffman Landscaping is the landscape crew you want to have in your corner. We have been with them for five years and the outside has never looked as good. With Hoffman, you are hiring a property manager that takes care of virtually everything outside if your house. Everyone on the staff, from the guys who rake the leaves to the office staff treats me with a high level of professionalism. I have referred Hoffman to friends and family and received glowing reports back. Are they more expensive. Yes. Will they do the job right until it’s done to the customer’s satisfaction. Yes, and with no “nickel and diming”. Don’t waste your money elsewhere. John Marchak
Hoffman Landscapes having taken care of lawncare, maintenance of my garden including shrubs and trees since 2016. They have done an outstanding job in that time always being reliable, responsive, and doing the work to a high standard.
My Property Care Manager, Joe, comes to inspect the property regularly and is extremely proactive in pointing out any issues with trees, shrubs, or lawn and will propose how to manage it.
In addition, Hoffman have also taken care of setting up and winterizing my sprinkler system, and do pool service too.
They are a high quality company who do great work, provide great service and I would highly recommend them.
I have referred many of my own clients to use Hoffman Landscapes and have always heard amazing results when I followed up with them. My dealings with Rob has been spot on. He knows his products and exactly what is needed to make sure the business is running its best, to provide a top level care for their customers. He is a pleasure to do business with! I will continue to keep referring my customers to use Hoffman Landscape for all their landscaping needs!
We used Hoffman for a major design and build project at our weekend home in CT which involved very challenging conditions as our home is built on a heavily-wooded ledge. We had a very positive experience with Hoffman.
The first phase involved a comprehensive property design which was relatively affordable. We were blown away by the creativity and "can do" attitude. Our designer Brian Cossari really understood our objectives and our aesthetic and translated it into a plan. He listened and included the features that we requested but also added some very slick elements that we would never have dreamed up on our own. We weren't able to afford all aspects of the master plan and Brian was patient in doing a second and third cuts of the scope and budget.
In terms of execution, they started the project one week before the promised date and kept us informed of the status reasonably well. They made several scope changes on the fly, when we requested. This process required a properly-documented change order and there were no surprises when we received invoices. They finished a week late for understandable reasons (we added to scope and they hit an unexpected amount of rock when digging the pool). Overall, we had to be pleased with the time table on which they completed the work.
They handled permitting, inspections and town relations for us on a hassle-free basis. Much better than we've seen in the past with other firms.
The quality of the people working day to day and materials used was very high. Some of their hardscapers are artisans in their own right. Overall, we were very satisfied with the work done and would recommend Hoffman without misgiving.
Bob & Matt are two of the most professional & skilled Landscape Designers/Architects out there. Highly recommend for all of your high end design needs.
I hired Hoffman Landscapes recently to revamp my landscaping around my property, including planting new shrubs, trees, and perennials. Mike Walker listened to my concerns, and his recommendations were completely on point as I wanted something low maintenance, deer resistant, and visually appealing. Mike and Matt (Motill) were responsive with my questions on how to care for the plants and any concerns I had, even after the planting was complete. I had a great experience, and highly recommend Hoffman Landscapes. I have already received many compliments on the work, and I can't wait to see everything bloom in the spring!
We worked with Bob Doerflinger to design an extension of our driveway including stonework and landscaping. Bob was great to deal with, very pleasant, responsive and professional. He worked well with the town to get the necessary approvals. I would use him/Hoffman again.
Last fall I called Hoffman to discuss building a vegetable garden and refreshing some of the landscaping at my new home. One of their designers, Rick King, came out and spent over an hour walking the property with me and discussing my vision, budget, and time frame. His expertise was immediately apparent and his laid back demeanor put me at ease. He taught me a lot about the plantings on my property and how to care for them myself. Within a week I had comprehensive proposals broken out by bed for my entire property so I could easily pick and choose what I wanted to do and when. Rick even came back out to review the proposals in person and show my wife and I pictures of the plantings he had selected.
I reconnected with Rick in March and they just installed a beautiful and functional vegetable garden which we are very pleased with. The crew got it installed in a day and a half and were a pleasure to work with. Darrick, the foreman, was onsite multiple times each day and extremely communicative. The guys doing the work were warm and friendly and tolerated my 4 year old helping them truck soil and mulch down with his toy wheel barrow. I even caught them cleaning up and organizing his toys as they packed up their gear at the end of the day.
I'm very happy I chose Hoffman and have no problem recommending them, I look forward to working with them again soon.
Hoffman is great to work with! They are responsive to the needs of the property and are constantly working to maintain it in the highest quality. Even though they are a relatively big operation, they treat their customers as if they are the only customer they have. Truly special service!
We recently had the pleasure of collaborating with Hoffman Landscapes on an extensive landscape installation for a client’s new pool house in Washington, Connecticut. The Hoffman team, led by Brian Cossari and Peter Lawrenia, worked seamlessly with the entire project team to source and install the very best plantings while still meeting the client’s budget. Despite an extremely tight schedule, they worked many long days to ensure that every detail was perfectly in place on time. They were a true pleasure to work with and we look forward to many more future collaborations.
Hoffman Landscapes created a beautiful patio for us about 5 years ago and it's still beautiful today. The workmanship and professionalism of the staff and management was outstanding. I recommend them to anyone who asks, but their work speaks for itself when people see it.
- Hoffman reached out to us after our initial review and is making every effort to save our rhododendron and make us happy clients. I appreciate their expediency and that they clearly care about satisfying their customers.
We have been working with Hoffman Landscapes for many years for projects large and small on our property. Most recently, they built a low stonewall and planted a number of new shrubs in front of our home. The crew is always courteous and neat. Pete and his guys do a terrific job. Anne D., Westport
Below is an email I am happy to share that I sent to our Hoffman foreman Ryan E.
Ryan,
"I simply wanted to thank you for addressing the condition of our lawn in the manner you did. For the record, it looks great and we appreciate that you take that kind of pride in customer service."
Prior to Hoffman and Ryan E. coming on board for our area, our lawn seemingly was not responding to the customary methods of improving its look. I addressed it with Ryan E. and his immediate attention and resolution of the issue is exactly the type of customer service I am afraid many have forgotten. This was our first season with Hoffman and Ryan ensured it will not be our last...thanks!
We have used Hoffman Landscapes for years. Our service rep Justin is always responsive and thorough. They offer many landscaping services like irrigation services and tick spray which smaller landscaping services do not. The annual service contract allows you to set a budget for all your landscaping needs. Professional and courteous staff.
After purchasing my new home, I discussed adding curb appeal with my Realtor. Scott Fawcett consulted with us and designed a plan for the gardens that did exactly that. His crew executed the plan in an efficient and professional manner. Since then, Scott's guys have been maintaining our property and continuing to make our gardens more beautiful. Scott and Mike are extremely knowledgeable and always have the answers. Their work is exceptional and I recommend them without hesitation.
Ferncliff cemetery has been working with Hoffman Landscapes for two years now, we can not be any happier with there commitment to us, our laws looks better than it ever before, this is a company I would highly recommend, Scott, Mike & Arik have gone fair above our expectations.
I have been working with Hoffman Landscapes for several years now and am very happy. I have found the team to be extremely professional and organized. All of our annual landscaping needs are set forth in an annual contract so that there are no surprises regarding the costs or the amount of times a service is being provided. Our property manager, Justin Nickerson, has been a true pleasure to work with. Justin is extremely conscientious and meticulous and really takes pride in his work. Justin promptly addresses our needs and is always reliable and responsive. Justin's discretionary work effort is commendable and extremely refreshing. I highly recommend Hoffman Landscapes as they make taking care of my property very manageable and less stressful.
Hoffman has taken our lawn from a nightmare to a carpet of green in the two seasons we have been with them. All of their staff have been professional and courtious around my wife and two toddlers .. and their outdoor toys. One of the few services we have where I feel we are getting what we are paying for. Early morning or evening meetings to go over the property, prompt responses via email. Email updates on projects and snow removal. I'm very happy with them.
We could not be happier with Hoffman Landscapes. We built our house 2 years ago and the builder botched the yard, pool, driveway, etc. We hired Hoffman and they completely redid and transformed our yard and pool. We now have an outdoor space that we love and use. Hoffman has a team of excellent landscape architects (we used Matt Biron) and we have been so happy with his vision. Not only is everyone at Hoffman extremely professional, but they also give you the personal attention that makes working with them enjoyable. They maintain our yard beautifully and plow/shovel our driveway during the winter. You know what you're getting with the annual contract and they always deliver. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a landscaper!
We recently used Hoffman Landscapes for a pool renovation and patio. The project was a lot more involved than anyone originally thought, due to structural issues in the pool. Hoffman worked hard to address the issues and complete the project to our satisfaction. We are very pleased with the quality of the work. Bob Doerflinger, the project manager, was extremely responsive when we had questions relating to the project, and he resolved issues in a timely manner, which was very important to us given the scope of the project.
Hoffman Landscapes is a top notch landscaping firm. Bob Doerflinger and his team created a front yard landscape for us that is the envy of Old Greenwich. From the creation of a gorgeous stone wall to the landscaping and irrigation, everyone involved was knowledgable professional and extremely easy to work with. We would recommend them to anyone and we look forward to maintaining a relationship with them going forward. Can't wait to see what great plan Bob comes up with for our backyard!
We recently worked with landscape architect Brian Cossari on a terrace and landscaping project - the results exceeded our expectations. The result was professional and done in a timely manner - I've never seen a harder-working crew! We added on another project and that was addressed in the same high-quality manner. Will definitely work with these guys again!
We have been partnering with Hoffman for quite a few years now and have been incredibly pleased. Justin Nickerson, our project manager, is just exceptional. Prompt, genuine, straight forward and never once has tried to sell me something I don't need - which is NOT the type of service we have received with other landscapers. We have a beautiful yard and I don't have to think twice about it. They are superb.
Hoffman Landscapes, Inc. has been servicing my property since the Spring of 2015; I had called 7 other companies and either I got no response or they were completely booked without availability for weeks.
From there, I turned to Hoffman Landscapes. Scott Fawcett returned my call that day, and had an estimate prepared within 24 hours.
The team, led by Joe Bamberger, is meticulous, timely and thorough. While I do not boast the magnificent grounds many of Hoffman's customers do, I am treated with the utmost kindness and respect; the team's actions show me that they understand how special my home is to me and my home. I wouldn't consider anyone else and should we move, I will be taking the team with me.
After doing our own yard work for many years, we now use Hoffman for complete annual landscape maintenance. The property has never looked better. We particularly appreciate that we are able to deal directly with Property Manager Justin Nickerson who not only guides the maintenance work and offers helpful advice but is also responsive to our suggestions and preferences.
We started working with Hoffman around five years ago. We had been with other landscaping companies large and small over the prior 22 years. There was always something missing. Either they missed the big picture or the little details didn’t seem to matter. What we wanted was a company that appreciated both. We found that in Hoffman. They were ready, willing, and able to see our property for what it could be, and help us make it happen in stages. They didn’t overwhelm us with too much at once, but when we were ready to GO, they made it all happen. They design and build for the long term. It’s easy to make something look good now by over planting. Hoffman doesn’t do that. They have the expertise to plant properly for today and many years down the road. Landscape Architect Matt Biron has held our hand along they way, thanks Matt! The also stand behind their work. When plants fail, which they do because of things like ridiculously hot and dry summers, Hoffman follows through with their replacement guarantee. We know we have a partner in Hoffman for the long run. B&D Lebow, Westport CT
Patrick and the team at Hoffman Landscapes have been excellent in all facets of maintaining our property - responsive, knowledgeable, and quality of work. We used Hoffman for 5 years before recently moving from the area and I would highly recommend them to any homeowner.
I wish I'd gone to Bob D. at Hoffman Landscapes from the get-go! With his help and in coordination with the fantastic crew at HL, we revamped our front, back and side yards. Bob completely understood our vision, budget, and needs (deer in our area!). Its refreshing to meet someone in this field who is polished, smart, polite, super accommodating, and incredibly responsive. See my Yelp review for more details for this HIGHLY RECOMMENDED company for your landscaping needs.
I am very pleased with the entire process of working with Hoffman Landscapes. From the moment I met Rick when he came out to see my property I could tell that he was a man of vision and he would be able to turn my property into the lovely space I wanted. He listened to my ideas and gave several great suggestions of his own. He didn't want to draw a map of the plantings ahead of time because he liked to position them as he planted and saw how they worked together. This was one of the reasons I went with him. I felt he would really make the space work beautifully. The quality of plants, and after planting support has been very good. I recommend Hoffman Landscapes.
Hoffman Landscapes has been the perfect one stop shop. They maintain our yard, they beautifully trim our shrubs, they help with my perennial garden, they deal with our sprinkler system, and they maintain our pool. Margaret has been a master in my garden and continually supports the crazy decisions that I have to plant perennials. I have found Joe Bamberger to be incredibly reliable, thoughtful, professional, and insightful. He swings by our property on a regular basis to make certain that his crews are taking the best care of my property. He is always available and he takes excellent care of us.
Corey Gaffney at Hoffman Landscapes is an exceptional example of professionalism, integrity and dependability. He is responsive, communicative, and helpful with solving any yard issues that arise, and just a pleasure to work with. He understands the nuances of yard management and landscape design and is adept at addressing other important elements of our property. In short, Corey represents the best of what a landscape company can offer and we could not be more pleased with his efforts and performance.
