About us

Need a quality landscaper Hudson Valley? Gerard McCluskey Landscape Design has been providing quality customized landscaping services throughout the Hudson Valley for over 18 years now. We specialize in residential and commercial landscape installation and hard scape construction. Unlike other parts of the country, properties located here in the Hudson Valley are completely unique from anywhere else. Our design approach begins with your unique property, your dreams, and our solutions, to make what you wish, work for you. Going Green is a new slogan being throw around quite a bit these days. We have been green from the beginning back in 1993. Starting with our landscape designs, we deploy the philosophies of integrated pest management into every design in order to provide a relatively low maintenance landscape that is not dependent upon pesticide use. The right plant, installed in the right spot, the right way, will thrive. We continue our natural approach by always recommending natural hard scape products such as locally found Bluestone and Granite. A well designed landscape should emulate the colors, textures and contours of the natural environment in the surrounding area. We strive to display these elements in our designs. Whether you choose to have us design, consult or install, we have it covered.

Terrible, terrible experience: 1. He did not finish the job contracted. 2. Did not build patio as we contracted and didn’t discuss changes with us. 3. Did not clean up the job site— thew debris over our fence; put contractor debris in our garbage cans; left behind garbage. 4. Charged our card without consulting us. 5. Refused to fix things that weren’t to code. 6 Created landscaping damage elsewhere by driving his truck up our driveway. 7. He sent us a series of hostile emails when we asked questions about the project.

Not well, signed contract on 6/7/19. Contract states work to begin 7 to 10 days to start. Per contractor, unable to start until 7/17/19. I agreed. Pattern was to be a staggered pattern, cut out of the bluestone rectangles. There was an addition of a 8x16 area to accommodate a hot tub before work began. Took constant prodding to get work moving along, Work completed on 8/27/19, almost 6 weeks later. Shoddy work. staggered pattern was abandoned when rear patio was started.Many things had to redone because they were incorrect or not level. Area where hot tub will be was supposed to buit over 8x8 concrete slab. After 2 slabs were poured uneven, 2nd one was broken up and incorporated into gravel below. Big gaps in bluestone in this area plus stones not lined up properly and several places where grout is missing. Also facing where bluestone overlay goes into garage near door not finished. To put the icing on the cake, After I paid all of my installments (except final one upon completion) with proper documentation from contractor, he made 4 charges to my credit card (which I had been using to pay for this) without notification. Final charge was $750 more than contract price. Had to cancel my credit card and dispute overcharge, which I will not have to pay. I now have a cob job of a patio, and contractor has over $26,000 of my money.Have contacted a lawyer. How can you reccommend someone who does business like this. Please, if anyone is considering using this guy, turn around and run- don't walk.Another professional that I have been using for other work cannot believe this work, and has said that if they had known I was considering him, they would have warned me, because they have been called in by other customer's to fix work he did for them.
Response from Gerard McCluskey Landscape Design

""Some people go to Disneyland and then the next day go online and give a 1 star rating because they had to wait in a line!" Hopefully this person's exaggeration is well read. Most of the re-work described here was because in the middle of the job, a pool company came in and installed a pool 6 inches higher than our completed work. The areas she described being re-leveled where because of this. Completed work had to be re-done after it was completed. Yet the pool company was not held accountable. We were. AND we only asked for an additional 3% to cover our expenses. All of the specifics where written out on a contract, time frames where met considering weather, 95 plus degree heat, thunderstorms rolling in and the changes she made. Every installment of the progressive payments where notified via email. AND THEY WERE IN WRITING. Our last 8 reviews have been 4.5 to 5 star out of 5. within the last 9 months. Not easy these days with the online trolling. We do our utmost to please our customers. 99 % of the time, we are successful. But there's always the 1% that you can't do anything to make them happy. No matter what. And we've all heard about them. We did lots of free work on this one. And in the end, didn't get paid in full."
