Description of Work: This may have been partially our fault. We may have expected too much. I expected some kind of a landscape design...a piece of paper with some kind of a design or sketch drawn on it (what he thought would look good). We did not get any physical design. He came out quickly and arrived on time. We walked the property with him, he made comments and we asked questions. We did get some useful information... the rest of the time was spent giving us a kind of sales pitch and asking what we wanted to spend. We asked if he could send us something and he did send us a quote for $5700 with no detailed breakdown. We asked for a breakdown and he came back by telling us how much each bush or tree would cost but did not tell us how many of each we were getting. But still no detailed breakdown. He seemed to have good artistic ideas and probably would have done an artistic job but we just were not willing to go without a detailed line item quote. We were not exactly sure what we would be getting.

I am sorry for any confusion. When I sent you the cost break down, I thought that would be sufficient. I still have the free computer image that I created in your kitchen. If you need anything else I would be happy to come back to your house. I appreciate your feedback.

All I have to say is that Lee and his crew did an amazing job on my front lawn. They created a masterpiece that fits my personality and how I envisioned my front lawn to be. I will definitely be working with him on other projects in the future. Thank you again Lee you responded to my call promptly and didn't hesitate to lay out a design plan for me. Project well executed.

Lee returned my initial call immediately and came to survey the job the same day. A proposal and contract were made and given in writing promptly. He respected our budget and created a wonderful design. Work started and was completed ahead of schedule, with all work performed extremely neatly and professionally. He gave us his cell phone number so we can stay in contact during the job. He listened to our concerns and made suggestions during the work. The result was beautiful. We would absolutely use him for future projects.
Description of Work: Built a retention wall and regraded a steep slope. Landscaped the slope with planting sand wood chips. Planted 18 large trees that he grows on his own tree farm in Dix Hills. Cleaned area for rock then put down compost and top soil and installed sod. He added a sprinkle head and had the other heads adjusted for proper watering of sod. Designed and created several garden areas, all with plants and trees from his farm. Finished those gardens with mulch. Clearly instructed on how to water and care for all trees, plants, and sod. All work done by hand with no heavy machinery to disrupt property or neighbors property.

.We needed privacy plantings along our rear property line. Lee came over and sat with us for quite a while answering all of our questions and designing a beautiful plan. We then went to his farm to see the actual trees to be planted and had more of our questions answered. He first returned to our house to prepare the bed, cutting down several existing dead tree limbs and generally making sure the planting would be successful. The trees are in and I couldn't be more pleased. The back of our property looks amazing. Lee and his crew were extremely professional and cleaned everything up. Lee is extremely knowledgeable and professional. I especially liked how he took the time to explain everything we weren't sure of.

Lee gave us two hours of his time on a Sunday morning (Easter Sunday in fact). He was very professional and patiently answered all our questions. Since we are both a visual person, Lee created a visual rendering on the spot showing us the finished product. With his 20+ years of experience, his knowledge of plant species and what plants/flowers will work for your garden was impressive. While we are still prioritizing our projects, we would definitely consider hiring Lee when we are ready.
Description of Work: We are looking to improve the front curb appeal of our new-to-us home. We wanted to get some design ideas, possibilities, and how much we would need to budget.

Lee did a wonderful job. When we met initially, he cared enough about what gardens should look like to correct my idea of a garden border (not included in the project!). He examined my two overgrown gardens, asked me what I wanted, and then redesigned the two areas using his laptop and software to better visualize the effect of the various plants and shrubs. Lee worked two days on this project according to the timetable we discussed. It couIdn't have been easy removing the old concrete walkway and a large rose bush set amid the cactus. I appreciated the time that Lee spent setting out various plants so that I could see the effect in the garden plot and have my choices respected. Although Lee clearly had a vision for my gardens, I felt comfortable sharing my opinions to come up with two designs that feel very natural. I'm thrilled that we were able to incorporate my prickly pear cactus into the new garden and to install my carved Tiki statue. Lee also took the time to describe how best to water and care for the new plants/shrubs. We are very happy with our rejuvenated gardens thanks to Landscapes by Lee Itzler.
Description of Work: I asked Lee to redesign two gardens which were overgrown and to remove a large rhododendron. This was complicated by a large prickly pear cactus which I wanted to preserve and an old concrete path that had to be removed.

He was very transparent about his process, timing and pricing, all of which were reflected in the work that he did. Once we signed, he did the job very quickly and efficiently and everything looks great. I would recommend him and will use him in the future.

Lee and his crew took out all the weeds that had in grown in after I removed some pine trees, evergreens and overgrowth and had fencing installed. They put in small trees, shrubs and perennials. I specifically asked him to leave one rose bush (for sentimental reasons) that had been in the yard for many years and he gently worked around it. On the last day he put in the edging, mulch and even replaced and adjusted sprinkler heads so that the landscaping would get the best possible watering. Lee loves his work and it shows. He is very professional and does exactly what he says he will do. Within a week I have a beautiful new yard.
Description of Work: Lee was very responsive to my requests. He showed me a computer picture of what plants he recommended for my yard and where he would put them. I asked for landscaping with little to no maintenance and that's exactly what I got. He was very specific on what each plant would look like next spring and how to take care of my new, beautiful yard.

I love my new garden. Lee is professional, creative, knowledgeable, honest, and truly loves what he does. He came to my house and made suggestions as if it were his own home. I couldn't be happier with the way the everything came out. Lee brought a huge selection of plants and shrubs for me to choose from...everything looks amazing. I am going to get years of enjoyment out of my yard because of the work Lee put into it! You only need to make one call -- it is to Lee.
Description of Work: I messaged Lee a couple of weeks ago and luckily he followed up with me several times in a professional way. We met he shared his thoughts with me. I'm looking forward to seeing the tree, shrubs, and perennials. I see the beginning of a really great landscaping design relationship.

Lee Itzler has been our go-to landscape designer for the past 4 years and is an expert in his field of horticulture. He grows his own Long Island native plants and tress on his farm in Suffolk County and installs them with great care. We trust his selection of plants and trees knowing that they are grown organically, and never imported or unsuitable for our climate and growing conditions. Lee has also built three landscaping walls out of stone which came out great! They add much needed dimension to our yard and contain the valuable plants and trees that he installed (various pines, flowering & deciduous trees, perennials, etc). We also call him for spring/fall mulching, soil replenishment, and proper pruning. Lee is pleasant to work with and offers reliable, professional service and follow-up in all things related to a beautiful and thriving landscape.
Description of Work: Provided very fair estimates per job and completed work such as installed locally grown specimens from his farm, built planting walls, mulched, pruned, and offered knowledgeable and professional tips for maintaining our investment.

Great, exceeded our expectations
Description of Work: We had our front yard completely re-landscaped with new plantings. We had the old overgrown plants from the previous owner and the landscaping had been neglected for some time. Lee removed the old overgrown plantings and replaced them with healthy high quality, gorgeous plants that have added value and beauty to our home. Lee helped us with our vision and the results were terrific. Lee is honest, hardworking and professional. He is a hands-on business owner who is present onsite throughout the job. I look forward to working with him again.
