Reviews

Positive: Quality, Responsiveness
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!

Lexi N., Wilton, CT

As a new customer of Hoffman, they came through for me in a bind to get our yard ready for two events. Our property looks better than it has in the three years we've owned the home.

During the enter process the staff has been attentive and knowledgable. Looking forward to continued support, success, and a beautiful yard.

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.

This is my first season with Hoffman, and my expectations have been exceeded.
Everything they have done for me, they have done extremely well.
While I was impressed with Hoffman from the initial walk around and subsequent follow up to my questions ( via Mike W.) , I never imagined how quickly they could transform my property. My perennials have never looked better, weeds in flower beds are under control, flagstone has been restored, and more... They are professional, sensitive to my concerns, and overall a pleasure to work with. Thank you Joe B. Donna, Chris, Aric and the rest of the Hoffman team!

I visited with Mike Hoffman of Hoffman Landscapes recently, through the National Association of Landscape Professionals (NALP) Trailblazer Program. The Trailblazer Program has been instrumental in growing my landscape company and breaking through to the next level. Seeing other industry business owners who have already created major success in our field has helped me see the potential for my own business. But to be able to sit with the owner of a company much further down the path than myself, and to learn from them and ask any questions I have, has been priceless. Mike shared with me every aspect of his amazing business. He and his staff spent the entire day with me, simply to pay forward the knowledge they’ve accumulated through their years of hard work. Mike’s insight allowed me to make some very tangible changes to my operations that have already increased my bottom line, but more importantly set me up for the future growth we’re so excited for! A huge thank you to Mike Hoffman and to the NALP Trailblazer Program!

Hoffman has provided landscaping and winter services for our weekend home for at least eight or nine years. Over these years they have been consistent in providing careful attention to our property under all weather conditions. Without my ever asking for it, I regularly find a "property check" email that is extremely helpful and comforting when I am away. I also commend their consistently spotting lawn and landscaping issues as they develop, and their responsiveness to issues I may otherwise notice or question. While surely there are less expensive alternatives to Hoffman, Justin Nickerson has proven to be a reliable, valued partner who makes Hoffman overall worth the cost.

Andrea Feirstein, Weston, CT

We've been clients of Hoffman for over 10 years and have been very pleased with the professionalism and care of all their staff. Our property manager Justin Nickerson and our irrigation technician Jason Springer have both been extremely proactive in addressing any issues that have arisen and provide excellent customer care throughout the year. i would highly recommend them.

Robert Roth, Weston, CT

Joe Bamberger has been our main contact for years now and he is amazing. He responds to emails quickly and always shows up within a day if we have a problem. Overall great service and attention to detail!

Sandi Sufrin, Darien, CT

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.

Kiersten Stein, Westport, CT

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.

Alphonse and Judith Noe, Weston, CT

We have been a client of Hoffman for many years and have been very pleased with their service. However, special mention must be made of our property manager, Joe Bamberger. Joe is knowledgeable, conscientious, very responsive and always cheerful and we appreciate his regular, unprompted visits to check our property. Joe is the very model of what a manager should be in a successful service business.

Claire Heyland, Greenwich, CT

We have used Hoffman for several years and they are great. Bill is exceptional.. It makes a difference when you have someone like Bill who who goes above and beyond to make sure the overall landscaping and maintenance of our property is done well.

Allison Reiling, Fairfield, CT

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.

Martha Hoffman, Wilton, CT

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.

Kim Barry, New Canaan, CT

We have been a client of Hoffman Landscapes for many years and think they deliver exceptional service. In particular, our Property Manager, Joe Bamberger, is irreplaceable! He is detail-oriented, smart, conscientious, responsible and, most of all, a pleasure to work with!!!!!

Angela Riley, Darien, CT

We began our relationship with Hoffman Landscapes over 10 years ago. During this time they have executed numerous landscape projects for us. As well we have charged them with the responsibility of upkeep and maintenance of our property. The crew at Hoffman is extremely conscientious and professional in the execution of their work at our home. Over the past few years, Corey, has had the responsibility of managing our maintenance needs. He has done an excellent job coordinating the work needed, and the look of our place has never been better!!

Ted Marlow, New Canaan, CT

Hoffman Landscapes has been doing my landscape maintenance for the past 2 years. Hoffman definitely cares about making their customers happy. Mike W. and Joe B. are very knowledgable and responsive. Joe B. makes regular site visits to check everything. If there is a problem, he is on it immediately. He is great with email. Donna has done wonders with my roses since she inherited the thorny nightmare from my previous landscaper.

Serena Liew, Greenwich, CT

I have worked for many years with Hoffman. I am happy with their professionalism. Thank you Joe Bamberger for your attention to my property land.

Banu Baysal, Greenwich, CT

We have been using Hoffman for over four years and only have positive things to say. Pat Lalor expertly manages our lawn maintenance, which is maintained with care and professionalism each and every time. We also use Hoffman for snowplowing services and they are extremely thorough and dependable. Year round, we are very happy to have Hoffman in our lives!

Andy Warren, Ridgefield, CT

The Hoffman Landscapes team has done a fabulous job caring for two properties we have owned here in Redding. Rick King has been a tremendous resource in guiding us through several projects we have done over the past 21 months in our new home. The most recent project Hoffman has completed for us began with the removal of about a dozen trees, followed by a lawn extension and repair. One of our most mature and beautiful flower beds had to be partially dismantled temporarily to allow the tree removal equipment access to those that were being taken down. I was very anxious about how the process would be managed as we are fastidious about the care of the lawn and the beds. The crew took great care to make sure there was minimal damage to the plantings and the current lawn, and the newly created lawn area looks wonderful. We also have an amazing waterfall/pond that the former owners of our new property installed about 12 years ago. The Hoffman team has helped us with the maintenance of the pond as well as the water pump. Rick has also given us guidance about the amphibians in the pond as well as advice about whether to populate the pond with fish! We've entrusted Hoffman Landscapes with EVERY aspect of our property management, from lawn care and tick treatments, to our sprinkler system care and plant choices. We recommend Hoffman without reservation, as truly satisfied customers.

Laura & Mark Hoeing, Redding, CT

Great service, quality results, and very quick feedback on any questions, comments, or requests.

Dennis Darling, Stamford, CT

We are very pleased with the workmanship and professionalism of Hoffman Landscapes. Both the driveway and walkway came out great! I have had the chance to work with Brian Cossari on projects from driveway, front porch design and overall guidance on my home and front yard. His advice and work has always been higher than any expectations we have had. We appreciate him and his team.

Eduard Coku, Ridgefield, CT

Very thorough and communicative, in contrast to any other landscaper I’ve had before. Sends detailed descriptions of the work they are going to, and always does it as scheduled. Very happy with my decision.

Gregory Sommer, Chappaqua, NY

We have been with Hoffman for many years. That should say it all - they are top notch in both design and maintenance. Our property manager (Justin) is great - regularly inspects the grounds and takes the initiative to get any emerging issues addressed. They are not the lowest price service - but in our experience, you get what you pay for. They are worth it.

Patrick Kerin, Wilton, CT

We signed up with Hoffman 3 years ago, great but pricey. During that period, we left for another highly recommended landscaper for a “better” price. Well, needless to say, I guess you get what you pay for. After only 2 months with this new landscaper, my property was in disarray. The lawn was awful, routine services were never done. With my tail between my legs, I called Mike at Hoffman and asked them to come back. The 2 property managers Mike who is LANDSCAPE SALES, HORTICULTURIST and Joe, who is PROPERTY MANAGER( imagine 2 executives overseeing my property on a daily basis ) came to meet me with a smile and warm handshake, and I hired them back on the spot. What a difference Hoffman made, and continues to make every day. The property looks so much better, however due to the lapse of service from the prior landscaper, we have been playing catch up with maintenance ever since. With Mike leading the team, and Joe running the maintenance , Chris handling the irrigation, my property is coming back. Everyone who visits ( family ,friends, and service contractors) first thing they all say is “ you got your old landscaper back “ They are pricey, but you get what you pay for. I give them a five star rating……. Good job, Mike Walker, Joe Bamberger, and Chris Kaczmarek !! Keep up the great work 🙂

Aideen Mounty, Greenwich, CT

We've been working with Hoffman Landscapes for about a year and are thrilled with the results. Our weekly landscaping visits are completed by a hardworking, professional crew (Margaret, who handles the majority of perennial care and pruning, deserves special mention for her attention to detail). In the winter, snow plowing on our driveway was always completed in a timely, thorough manner. We've also worked extensively with Michael Walker on their special projects team and appreciate his conscientiousness and creative suggestions for our property. The billing department is very well organized - all bills are straightforward, itemized, and delivered promptly. We could not be more pleased with this company; we highly recommend Hoffman Landscapes.

Mel Morris, New Canaan, CT

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.

Will Homes, Darien, CT

Hoffman Landscapes is the premier landscaper in CT. Their service and attention to detail is unprecedented. We have been clients for many years and have always been pleased with their work. They have worked on many projects for us including a large patio and all have exceeded our expectations.

Julie Love, Weston, CT

Hoffman is an outstanding landscape company. I use them for weekly maintenance and my property never looked better. Ryan, our property manager, is on top of all the details and consistently checks in to make sure we are happy and satisfied. Shrubs and beds are well maintained and weeds are pretty much a thing of the past. I also have also used Hoffman for a large design and build landscape project and I could not happier with the results. Several neighbors have commented on how beautiful the property looks.

James Hill, New Canaan, CT

Started this year with Hoffman, they have done everything they promised. Lawn looks great, Justin is very responsive, and they have delivered whether on planting a Japanese Maple last fall that is growing well, to trimming bushes and noticing what needs attention.

Chan Wheeler, Westport, CT

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.

Paul Dietz, Sherman, CT

Hoffman Landscaping is a terrific company. Using a design/build company is the way to go-- they handle everything from town approvals through construction to the finishing touches. Our Hoffman Landscape Architect, Brian Cossari, is brilliant. Talented, easy to work with, and always available to answer questions. A year later, we still look around our property and say how happy we are with Hoffman's design and implementation. I highly recommend them!

Laura Hennes, Rye, NY

We purchased our house with the plan to install a pool that would be a draw for family and friends. Hoffman Landscapes and our designer Matt Biron created an outdoor space for us that is much more than we imagined was possible. The design enhances the natural landscape of the property and complements the architecture of the house. From design through construction and landscaping, the team at Hoffman was professional, responsive, courteous, and knowledgeable. Everyone who visits is impressed by the quality of the workmanship and the finished product. Matt continues to be a resource for us and works with our property manager on landscaping ideas. I highly recommend the team at Hoffman Landscapes and look forward to working with them for years to come.

Melanie Miller, Redding, CT

My family interviewed 5 different landscaping companies before finding Hoffman Landscapes, Inc. We're so glad we waited because we ended up with the very best. I was tired of the same old opinions and plant choices which often were practical, but lacking in aesthetics and the overall "vision" of how we wanted our yard transformed. If we were going to invest the $, we wanted it done right. I wish we'd gone to Robert (Bob) Doerflinger at Hoffman Landscapes, Inc from the get-go. With his help and in coordination with the fantastic crew at Hoffman Landscapes, we revamped our entire front, back and side yards. He completely understood our vision, budget, and needs. Its refreshing to meet someone in this field who is polished, smart, polite, super accommodating, and incredibly responsive by phone or email. Bob has a degree from an Ivy League school in landscape architecture and horticulture - could it get any better? He had knowledge of every step of the process. He drew up master plans for our project, selected different options for each part of the yard (depending on size, sunlight, and the need - e.g. aesthetics vs practical like a privacy hedge), and priced them out accordingly. He always guided us to the right decision, giving his expert advice regarding what we wanted and what actually would grow in that location, what had a higher chance of resisting deer, and how to lay out the shrubs and trees in a manner that made sense not just now, but in the years to come when they reach their maturity. Bob gave great advice on how to maintain the plants, when/how to fertilize them, what do do when the frost hits later this year. Hoffman Landscapes has Bob as a jewel in their crown, but they also have a crew that was a pleasure to work with. Insanely hard working, polite, always smiling and finished within 5 days from start to finish, and all along the way helping me understand how it would all come together, the watering needs, they even gave an opinion that resulted in a last minute change in a shrub selection - they saw we had little kids and they suggested a "softer" plant for a particular section of the yard where they'd observed the kids running. One was even so kind as to remove the poison ivy he saw out of concern for my family. Now, that's service all around from start to finish! We are EXTREMELY pleased with the end result and thankful to Bob and his crew for making this a very pleasant experience from the planning/dreaming stages to the end result. I would recommend them to ANYONE in need of jazzing up their landscaping. Neighbors now pass by and give the thumbs up at how beautiful everything looks. And we have privacy to our neighbors and the flow of our property is vastly improved. We are more than thrilled!

Eric T., Irington, NY

We needed to resurface our driveway and include drainage because we continued to have flooding issues. I had reached out to Matt Biron from Hoffman when we first moved into the property a few years back and they gave us a quote. Fast forward 4 years and more flooding, we had them come back out and requote. While it was not the cheapest quote out of the 4 other companies, they made the case for the right drainage based on videos I showed them and did an excellent job. The resurfacing and finishing around the edges and new drainage system have paid off. It always hurt to have to pay for something like a driveway replacement but the spend was well worth what we received. I will look to them for more projects as they come up in the years to come. Thanks!

Andrew Wild, Darien, CT

Hoffman Landscapes was highly recommended to us by other satisfied customers.   They did an excellent job, from analysis of our damage, provided by Richard King, their arborist, to performing the work necessary to saving our trees.  We will definitely use them in the future.

Mary Kubick, Redding, CT

Hoffman Landscapes has just completed an artful and thoughtful cutting back of several overgrown areas on my property in CT. Richard and his team could not have been more thoughtful. Even the weekly "mowing" crew takes the time to blow grass out of the beds and off of the walks. A real pleasure to deal with and at a reasonable price, too!

Tom Kelly, Roxbury, CT

Patrick Lalor and his team are excellent! Patrick goes out of his way to make sure the property is ready for every event and is one text away for any questions or concerns. Reliable, prompt, and efficient .

Betsy Fitzpatrick, Ridgefield, CT

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 knowledgeable 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!

Maureen Bonnano, Old Greenwich, CT

Brian is a thoughtful listener and wonderful designer. Together, your dreams come together and make it feel like it was intended that way from the beginning. Cheers!

Steve Prymas, New Canaan, CT

We have been working with Hoffman Landscapes for over three years now. Joe Bamberger continues to impress us with his timeliness, dedication, and forward thinking. He is always on our property making certain that everything his healthy and developing beautifully. Every time we contact Joe for help and suggestions, he meets with us and helps us plan next steps for how we can maintain our gardens, lawn, and outside spaces. We are so thankful for his hard work and look forward to working with Joe and his Hoffman team for many more years.

Barbara Latimer, Darien, 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.

Tony Rummans, Ridgefield, CT

I tried two other landscaping companies before Hoffman and haven't looked back since - I've been a customer now for 10 years. Their work and service have always been outstanding; and on the rare occasions when there was an issue, they were quick to remedy things without any hassle. I would definitely highly recommend them (esp Patrick, Rick and Brian).

Mintak Joo, Ridgefield, CT

Ferncliff Cemetery has been working with Hoffman Landscapes for two years now, we can not be any happier with there commitment to us, our lawns looks better than ever before, this is a company I would highly recommend, Scott, Mike & Arik have gone far above our expectations.

Mike Feinstein (Ferncliff Cemetery), Hartsdale, NY

We have worked with Bob at Hoffman Landscaping to update the landscaping around our home. Overall it has been a lovely experience -- he is patient, professional, and knowledgeable. Highly recommend working with him / Hoffman!

Crystal Ellis, Wilton, CT

Bob Doerflinger designed a beautiful and welcoming walkway to our home, integrating a perfect balance of color and greenery. Plantings in other areas were expertly chosen as well. We enjoy the landscaping design from every view point.

Virginia Keeshan, Greenwich, CT

Hired them for a large scale project and smaller scale landscaping project - all the guys were professional and efficient. They have a terrific “eye” and design skills. We were very pleased with the completed work and care to detail, specifically their focus on cleaning up the site after the project was complete and making sure everything was complete and to our satisfaction.

Adelaide Mueller, Greenwich, CT

We've worked with Hoffman Landscapes for over 2 years now and have been thrilled with our experience. Ryan Egan is an extremely attentive and professional property manager and is on top of everything going on in the yard. Brian Cossari created a beautiful and totally functional landscape design that we love every day that we spend time outside and look out our windows. His team was professional, friendly and tireless...the best!

Mark Heron, New Canaan, CT

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.

Alexandra Martins, Irvington, NY

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!
