Rosario Gambino & Son Landscaping

We just completed a major project which involved a circular brick paver driveway, walkway, and patio, complete with seat wall, and brand new landscaping.
To start, I received 4 separate estimates, and this company was the highest. They were very stiff with their pricing, and weren’t willing to negotiate much. But certainly, you get what you pay for. Professional service with professional emails and invoices. They returned every call and every email. The owner, Joe Gambino, was there every single day checking in with my wife and myself. He stayed in contact with us throughout the entire project, start to finish. We probably overpaid on this project, but I wanted to use what I felt like was the best company for the job. I was right, they carry themselves professionally, which carried over to the job, and the final result.
They are a busy bunch — having been scheduled 6 to 8 weeks out. Once the workers came, they didnt stop working — day in and day out, they were on time, they were respectful of our privacy, they were clean, they even helped us get out of a couple parking tickets! They cleaned up after themselves everyday, and had no run ins with neighbors whatsoever! I was very happy with the pace, efficiency, and cleanliness that they worked with.
Things got pretty expensive for us pretty quick as we ran into several issues we were unaware of (extra concrete that needed to be removed and hauled away). We also added several last minute landscaping items, including the seat wall. They were very accommodating and flexible!
The house looks great, they finished up on time, and literally, in one weeks time, we have received at least 10 compliments from our neighbors, people driving by would stop, and our neighbors are ecstatic, as they like to see the beautification of their neighborhood
One of my favorite things is the warranty they give us on the project. 1 year, any landscaping, grass, bush, brick — they are willing to put their name on the line to keep the customers happy. They did everything the right way, took their time, and it turned out beautifully. We added significant value to our home. We could have easily spent another 10−20K if we wanted to do a build in grill/​firepit, sprinker system, etc etc.
The two items that held me back was the cost of the project, and some «staining» on the brick (lime/​calcium stain that come out of the brick when they cut to fit) and mud staining. I tried everything under the sun to scrub/​wash this away, but I was told the weather elements would remove these stains (likely after the winter). When I brought this up to Joe — he cut me off and said come spring time, I will replace any stained brick that didnt clear. What a response! He even told me to put it in writing!
A company willing to leave it all on the line and support the work they do is well worth over paying for. You simply dont find this level of customer service anymore these days. They take ownership and stick their necks on the line. Thats what I love about them!
I’d highly recommend these guys to anyone looking for major projects, like I said, Id expect to pay 5 to 15k extra — but theres nothing like feeling being well taken care of! Thanks Joe and to the entire family!

I used Rosario Gambino and Son Landscaping for one summer, as I saw their ratings on Unilocal and thought they would be good. I was unfortunately mistaken, as I found their services to be subpar at best, I had to constantly ask that they clean up after themselves after they did my extremely small yard, and it took me hounding them for almost a month to get my hedges trimmed which again the work was subpar. Lastly and this is the icing on the cake, I receive an email from the owner today telling me that I am extremely past due on a bill from November, that I paid him in November… I mean if you can’t keep your books straight on a little account like mine, how do you run the rest of your company? I would suggest you go with someone else, there are plenty of landscaping companies in the city that this one is suspect at best.

Unilocalers! If you need landscaping or pavers installed, call Rosario Gambino & Sons. They do it all for the best price! We recently had a patio installed and the landscape in front of our house completed by Rosario Gambino & Sons. Joe came out and gave us great suggestions. Not only were they the lowest price, their men were incredibly hard working and polite. My only regret was our project was delayed because I wasted time calling other landscapers only to give Rosario Gambino (the first company I called) our business. Joe was honest, not pushy and very easy to work with.
Overall we are very pleased with the work and the experience!

Rosario Gambino & Son Landscaping is hands down one of the greatest companies I have hired. Rosario and Joe are very professional and relate with the customer’s wants, needs, and desires.
During the project, Joe took me through step by step and made certain the design and implementation were accepted by me.
The design and products (trees, shrubs, perennial plants, stone, etc) were top notch, and you could tell it came from a nursery not Home Depot.
I was also surprised when Joe came by weeks after to inspect the Trees/​Plants and follow up with me on care taking. You can tell Joe has a lot of expertise to assure what is planted will continue to live for a long time to come. Finally a company that has not forgotten the customer is first. Thank you to you and your team for exceptional service!

Joe and his crew just finished landscaping our entire property and it looks fabulous! Joe has great ideas, lovely designs, and really makes sure the project comes together exactly how you want it. He is very easy to work with and accomplishes projects in a timely manner! Thanks!

Joe and his Rosario Gambino & Son Landscaping team completely made over our backyard from an eye sore to thing of beauty. They delivered on what they promised, returned all calls and had good communication overall.
The team is knowledgeable, patient and consultative. And, they delivered fair value and were worth every pretty penny that we invested in our project.
Our project involved tree removal, tree planting, sod, stone work and removal of the existing backyard. We’ve invited them back to take care of our spring mulching.

A few years back, Gambino & son removed 17 bushes in front of our house for less than half of what other landscapers had quoted us. When we needed our brick paver driveway re-​layed we didn’t hesitate to call them back.
Not only were they the lowest bid but they included services in their contract that other contractors were not even considering.
Joe personally came out beforehand to speak with us about the scope of work. The team was efficient, courteous and even cleaned up after themselves! We have gotten numerous compliments on our driveway; some from complete strangers walking by.
Overall we are VERY pleased with the job done by Gambino and would highly recommend them for any landscaping job.

I worked with Joe Gambino to install a brick patio, create an irrigation plan, and sod my yard. Everything looks great! Joe did a great job of communicating with us every step of the way. I’ve had nothing but compliments on the patio and our yard since they’ve finished.
