Hudson Valley Hardscaping Services

Hardscaping can be the foundation of a great outdoor space; when done right, it can provide structure, durability and long-term beauty to your yard, garden or business property. In the Hudson Valley’s four distinct seasons, hardscaping can make your landscape functional year-round, whether it’s a stone patio for entertaining guests, a retaining wall for stability, or a walkway that invites you through to a garden and foundation.

With over 30 years of experience designing and installing custom hardscapes for homeowners and businesses in Ulster, Greene and Dutchess Counties, Catskills Landscaping is a trusted partner for creating outdoor spaces that are as durable as they are beautiful.

Our Process

Consultation and Site Evaluation

First, we will check out your property and discuss your needs, challenges and goals, and closely examine your property’s terrain, drainage and existing landscape or features. This will inform a discussion of your design preferences, material choices, and functionality, and ask the right questions if you’re not sure what you want quite yet. We will also determine if any permits or special engineering considerations will be needed.

Conceptual Design & Planning

We will present concept drawings of the project, and help you choose from high-quality materials that meet your aesthetic and budget.

Natural stone like bluestone, flagstone or fieldstone
Pavers like concrete, clay brick or interlocking
Concrete & gravel
Wood features like pergolas, decks and fencing

Construction and Installation

Upon agreement of the design and materials, we’ll prepare the site with grading, excavation or foundation-setting as needed, and install the materials with special attention to drainage and erosion control, to help avoid issues down the road.

Finishing Touches & Long-Term Care

After installation is complete, we’ll complete sealing and finishing for long-lasting durability and weather resistance, and complete a final walkthrough to ensure that everything meets your expectations.

Testimonials

Service: Demolish and Remove Structures

We hired Catskills Landscaping to do a tough concrete demolition project. The job turned out to be more complicated than we expected, but Christian and his helpers handled it very effectively and got the job done! We were very pleased with the quality of the work, the attention to details, and the his competitive rate. His communication was excellent as well. All in all, a very satisfying experience and we would highly recommend him to others. I am now looking around the property for other things we could ask him to bid on.

Service: Excavate or Grade the Slope of the Grounds

We really needed this experience with Christian to restore our faith in the industry. We had 5 excavators look at our property to resolve drainage issues that we were having. Two of them said they didn’t feel comfortable doing the work without getting an engineer involved. The other three came, said it was no problem to do and they would be back to take measurements, and then never showed up again and would not return phone calls. Christian was the only excavator that followed through and really did his best to keep communication with us. We have had one of the wettest and rainiest seasons I can remember- and no flooding after his work was done. The job did take much longer than expected, but that was due to heavy rains that would make the ground unworkable. I don’t think there was anything Christian could do about the delays. At one point we were getting concerned about the delays and were thinking of previous times that people in this industry had let us down. I voiced this to Christian and he assured me that “he has never failed someone”. He then followed through with everything and really restored our sense of trust in this industry. We learned that there really are good people who are honest and capable through our experience with Christian. His advice on the cosmetic restoration of the property after the drainage work was done was also invaluable. He even took us to our local nursery to help us pick out plants and shrubs that would look good and made sense for the land, upkeep, and sunlight levels.

Adam from Saugerties

Service: Trim Trees

Very professional and courteous company! I had 3 trees removed all that needed care not to damage our property or neighbors property. One of the trees was a large walnut tree that overhung my house and two neighbors garages. They were very cautious and protective of all. I was surprised I wasn’t worried through the removal 10 minutes after the work began. I have a crazy schedule and they worked with me to schedule the job. Due to bad weather the job ended up taking two trips but they were in constant contact with me. After the job was complete both days other then the trees being gone you couldn’t tell they had been there, the clean up was beautiful. I would highly recommend this company and I will be hiring them again for another project.
