"I am beyond happy with the experience I had with CLC Landscape Design. They went above and beyond, transforming my yard into my own oasis. Eric came on site and brought all the expertise and plant advise that would fit best for my yard. Once the project started he communicated with me when his team would be arriving and the status of the project that day. Once we had everything planned out, he even came back to double check to see if all the plants looked good before they got planted! He was overall super helpful, very professional, and I am beyond satisfied with the results. Thank you Eric and CLC Landscape Design team for all your hard work. Really all I could say is just WOW! I look forward to working with your team again in the future!"

"Very fast reply and prompt service. Knowledgeable about heat pump water heaters and insulation cost reasonable compared to other quotes. Punctual and quick install. The only problems were that they did not bring a long enough hose for a condensate pump and left the pump hook up in a partially finished state, said they would return to fix but have not contacted me to do so. Also they said I would need to make another appointment to return to remove the old gas pipe that went to my old heater instead of just taking it at the time."

FAQs for french drain service projects in Lyndhurst, NJ

Landscapers typically charge $25 to $50 per person per hour, which equals around $50 to $100 per hour for a two-person crew. These rates can vary depending on your location, the size of staff needed for the job, and overall job type. For example, a larger crew will be needed for structural additions and hardscaping versus planting flowers.

We highly recommend leaving the work of replacing drain pipes to a professional plumber. Drain pipes are a key part of your plumbing system, and making mistakes during the installation or even using the wrong size pipes for your specific fixture can lead to an elevated risk of leaks and clogs. Additionally, drain pipes prevent harmful sewer gas from entering your home, so hiring a professional plumber is essential to keeping the risk of leaks and clogs low and avoid reducing your indoor air quality.
